nice place to stay. good location.

Our stay at Jodie's place was terrific! The house is beautiful and clean, the beach is just a 3 or 4 minute walk away, and the weather is perfect. We sat in the rocking chairs every night, and listening to the waves was a great way to end the day. Everything looks exactly as it is in the pictures. 10/10 would recommend & would stay again.

Jodie's house was great, the location was amazing and very easy to get to the beach. Her house was clean and quiet and she was a great host. I would stay at her place again. She was very close to everything going in in surf city but far enough away that you could not hear or see anything. She has this great binder in the room with lots of great info. Definitely check out Buddy's crab house for dinner so you can watch the ocean as you eat and they have a great look out you can go up to after dinner at your own leisure. If you want an amazing sunset there is a small park down the road that has a walkway out to the sound where you can get the most breathtaking views.

The host canceled this reservation 10 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Jodie is terrific and her condo is fabulous. Spacious, well lit, open, comfortable, quiet and comfortable. If you're a beach person, it's perfect; a short five minute walk to beach access. Jodie was very accommodating; she allowed my wife and I privacy and time to get to know one another. I would go back.

Great location, clean accommodations with no frills. Perfect for someone who plans to be at the beach all day like me. Host was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions I had. I did not have the opportunity to actually meet her in person however. Value is matched well accommodations.

Great place and location. Plenty of privacy and just a short walk from the beach.

Nice place, close to the ocean. Jodie is an awesome host! Will book again.

Meredith was incredibly accommodating and the house was amazing! Such a cool spot with great porches, views and proximity to the beach! Definitely going to go here again!

We had an incredible time at this lovely beach house. The location is amazing, right across from the beach and the home was perfect for us. We had 5 little ones at the home and the setup was perfect for them. Lots of toys and beach equipment, it was perfect! The kitchen was great for all of the cooking we did and the deck was a great place to relax and enjoy the gorgeous view. We hope to be back soon!

Meredith was a great host. She is very responsive. She even sent me a note about an local event that could be of interest to my family. Loved the house, the access to the beach is easy. It was great to have the beach chairs and toys. Highly recommend!

The house was very clean and beautiful, Meredith was wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend this house and look forward to booking agian soon.

Meredith was an incredible host. The house was comfortable, beautifully appointed, convenient to all of the things we wanted to do with our family. I highly recommend this home and this host!

A great spot for a weekend getaway! Meredith was so nice and her house was lovely! Would definitely book again!

This beach house rental was amazing. We had a group of graduate students get together to celebrate the ending of our time at school. It was the perfect place. The house is better than described, the location was excellent, and Meredith was great with communication. The house was comfortable for all of us and we had no problem with space, even when a tropical storm forced us to stay inside for one day. The beach is clearly visible from the porch and beach access is just across the street. The house was also fully stocked with linens, towels, a full kitchen, and even beach toys/chairs. I would highly recommend this place and owner.

Meredith always responded promptly and communicated clearly. The house was well stocked with everything we would possibly need, much better than any other house we have rented before. The whole house was very clean! We had 4 adults and 5 young children in the house and there was plenty of room for everyone. The walk to the beach was short and Meredith provided all of the essentials to enjoy the beach! We will definitely be back!

Great host and location. Beautiful and clean home. The host went above and beyond to accommodate his guests! I would stay here again!

Michaels place is a must stay. This was our second visit. Great location, very comfortable room. Every morning our coffee was ready and breakfast on the weekend. If you want an airbnb host that goes the extra mile to make you feel at home you Must stay. Location is only 4 minutes to the beach, shops and restaurants:)

We highly recommend Michaels house to anyone visiting the are! He was a gracious host and made us feel at home. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. Thanks Michael for a wonderful weekend!

Mike's place is great! Close to topsail, restaurants and yet in a very quiet neighborhood. Renters space & his home are super clean & homey. Bed is very comfortable. He's a thoughtful host!

This was our first AirBnb experience.I don't think you can get any better than Michael as your Host.His house was ultra clean,quiet and super local to the TopSail beaches.He had top notch choices for local eateries.. ( You have to goto the Fractured prune donut shop. ) We stayed in the Beach bedroom.. Wow.. that bed was so lovely.. We loved it so much we are looking to buy the same bed for our house.. When we arrived Michael had extra items for us in case we forgot like Sunscreen,Water and toiletries even toothpaste and brush.He has thought of it all to make your experience the best you will (URL HIDDEN) only fear now is.. Will i ever find another Airbnb host like him ? He has set the bar very high.. Thanks for a wonderful week Michael ! Chris & Eileen

One of the best hosts on (URL HIDDEN) date! Michael made sure we were very well taken care of, right down to the smallest details. Can't recommend him and his home enough. Beautiful home and extremely responsive.

Michael has the place all ready for your visit with extra amenities like beach towels and extra sunscreen, and nice touches like a welcome basket and towels folded like sea creatures. He is an engaging host and will provide advice on what/where to go, eat, see or do. All in, a very casual, come and go as you please atmosphere!

Mike was very attentive, but also made sure to give us our privacy. The back patio was a nice place to unwind. Super convenient location, very close to the beach. Our room and bathroom were clean and tidy. Would stay here again.

We loved staying at Mary's home "Simply Divine". The description on the website was accurate but we were even more pleased with the lovely view from the rear deck. Our room was spacious and comfortable; it had a large mini fridge, coffee maker and spring water dispenser. The bedding was comfy and we had plenty of fluffy white towels. We brought our bikes which we were able to store under the rear deck. Topsail is an ideal place to bike with safe bike lanes We were able to easily walk to on the beach and come home for lunch. Mary shared her kitchen and upstairs family room with us plus allowing us the privilege of choosing a channel to watch! We loved meeting her 16 year old son and her little dog and cat. All in all a fun relaxing few days at the beach. Would definitely recommend!!

Mary was a great host, and my wife and I loved our stay! The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was nice.The balcony was spacious and had a great Western view of the sound. The beach is a 2 minute walk away, and the house is a few miles from the commercial center of Surf City (so the neighborhood is very quiet). Plan to drive a few minutes to most restaurants. There's an outdoor shower and also a garden hose to help get beach sand off before going inside. Although Mary provides a private ensuite bathroom and shower, the kitchen is separate and you'll be sharing it with Mary's family. Not a big deal since Mary is such a welcoming host, and her pets (1 cat and 1 dog) are friendly! Mary was kind enough to brew us coffee in the morning, and she left 2 mugs out for us before she left for work. Highly recommended! We will be staying again next time we're at Topsail.

Our place was clean, bright and cool when we arrived and Mary had great coffee and pastries for breakfast. The view from the living room was beautiful and the location was close to everything.

Mary was a fantastic host and the house was amazing. Right across the street from the beach and the house is perfect for watching the sunset over the sound. We were able to travel light as Mary provided chairs and an umbrella fir beach use. Highly recommend!!

Unfortunately, an illness kept me from my stay. However, my communication with Mary confirmed (for me) she is someone who I would continue to book with. Mary was responsive, kind and understanding. I look forward to booking with her again.

Our stay was very pleasant. Due to our schedule, we were not able to enjoy more time with our host. Mary was very attentive and helpful and we would have loved to spend more time visiting with her. She provides a very clean and spacious room. The location is very close to the pier and restaurants.

The host was very kind. The views were amazing. The beach was gorgeous!!!

We had an amazing time staying here! I would highly recommend it. The room is impecable and has everything you would need. Mary is a wonderful host and was very accommodating (allowing us to cook and be in her space). We truly felt comfortable staying here and were treated like family. The location is perfect, just steps from the beach and the views from the deck were pretty incredible. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

Great space in a great location! Very short drive to the beach and some great restaurants. Nice, comfortable accommodations in a quiet neighborhood. Perfect for a quick weekend trip.

The space is large and the beds were comfortable. The air conditioning was great. The location was right off the main drag to the beach. The area is very quiet. The bathroom is shared with another guest but we were lucky he never showed up. They have a very sweet, affectionate cat so make sure you like cats!

The host was welcoming and helpful when needed. The place was as describe. Great location to access the beach.

Nick and Allison were very accommodating hosts. Near the beach so convenient location.

This is a very comfortable and clean house with lots of little things that make your stay enjoyable. My wife and I together with a friend stayed at Nick's place for a night and totally loved it. Their coffee machine made my morning pretty awake and my wife used their gym equipment down at the living room. They have a cute little cat and she is pretty loving and friendly. The location is in a quiet and pretty area but far from Wrightsville beach in case you wanna have quality beach time. Surf city and Topsail are right around the corner which are equally good. All in all, I definitely recommend this place for anybody with a ride.

Responsive, easy going hosts, and can't beat the price/location.

I was here for 5 weeks and really enjoyed my stay. It's close to all the major beaches and cities. There is a Harris Teeter grocery store 8 min away. It is in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. This is their family home, so you will hear them doing family things like cooking and watching tv from your loft. You cannot park in the street, but they already tell you this beforehand. They are very considerate and always let you know who is coming the house so you're not alarmed- they have cleaning services, staff, and other rooms they rent out to other guests. They have a very active lifestyle, but always made time to communicate with me. Thanks for everything : )

They were super easy to communicate with before our stay, and everything was very clean for us when we got there. I'd definitely recommend staying here!

Sean was an amazing host. He provided lots of information prior to my stay and was quick in his responses. While on vacation he checked in and made sure that everything was going well. His home was extremely clean and well taken care of. The house had all the essentials in the kitchen and made it very easy to cook. The grocery is less than 5 minutes away as well as many places to grab some food. It is a very short walk to the beach and a quick drive to watch the sunset on the bay. I highly recommend this host and this house!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is beautiful and spacious. The location is great, a quaint neighborhood just steps from beach access. Unfortunately, we had alot of rain but the house was so nice that we enjoyed hanging out.... logged in to our Netflix, playing games in the comfy living area and cooking most meals in the large (nicely equipped). The refrigerator is huge, there is a dishwasher and all of the basic pots/pans, utensils and dishware. There is great outdoor space to play corn hole, relax in the hammock etc. Just a great place for a family getaway! Host Sean is very responsive to questions.

Very nice place to stay for a low key, relaxing vacati

Great house. Love Topsail.

Sean was a great host, very responsive to any questions I had. His home is lovely, spacious, and perfect for our family. Everyone enjoyed corn hole game, even our 5-year old granddaughter! Very friendly neighbors, short walk to a beautiful beach. Our first trip to Topsail Beach, but definitely not the last. Thanks, Sean!

My family loved staying at Sean's place. It does have a tree house feel with the top floor being the living space and lots of windows and decks. We also really enjoyed the outdoor space as well. We took advantage of the hammock, fire pit, outdoor shower, and corn hole. The walk to the beach is very short and the access is directly across the street. The home is very comfortable and we appreciated all the towels that were provided. The kitchen is also well stocked too. We hope to return again soon!

This house is awesome!!what you see in the pictures is what you got it!! Very well maintain house in a great location!! Will definitely book this home again!! A+

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our too short stay. We liked the small touches - fresh flowers,chocs, and the kids game items in the cabinet. The grand kids loved the outside for their adventures among the trees. The beach was fantastic and weather gorgeous. Thanks to Sean's advice, we found great eating places in the area. Very relaxing atmosphere and comfortable ..and surrounded by family members, felt like home used to be before they left for their own grownup adventures. Host Sean was very patient and quick to respond with requested help. Highly recommend.

Gwen's home is absolutely adorable. It is very clean and the decor is so cute. It is only like 20 mins from Surf City. Gwen is also extremely nice and very accommodating. I will definitely book here again.

Great place for a getaway! The apartment was wonderful. Nice beachy feel to it, made me want to stay longer. Would recommend to anyone coming to the area.

Gwen, her husband and pup greeted me upon my arrival. Very sweet and welcoming. I enjoyed my stay there. It was peaceful and quiet, exactly what I needed.

The apartment over the garage was spacious and clean. The décor made you feel like the ocean was just outside your door. The neighborhood was quiet and the full-sized kitchen a real plus Just wish we could have stayed longer. Thank's again , Janet

Had a great short stay! Had everything we needed and a nice location minutes from the beach and convenient to local shops.

We had a wonderful time at Gwen's place in Hampstead. It was the perfect location for us. Very quiet, close to beach, and other amenities. We look forward to staying there again in the future. Perfect for a couple getting away to relax, and looking for some peace and quiet. We had a great time.

Super cozy and great location! Great communication and Gwen was able to give us tips on where to rent kayaks since we couldn't transport the ones she had available. Highly recommend!

Very clean and comfortable living arrangement and Gwen was quick to answer any questions we had before and during the stay. I would consider staying there again.

I highly recommend Tradewinds getaway! Ben's home is beautiful, the neighborhood is quiet and you are 5 minutes from the beach! You have the entire first floor to yourself, there is a shared entryway but it feels very private. Beautiful accommodations, clean, host goes above and beyond to make sure that you are comfortable.

Beautiful space with a wonderful and accommodating host. Plenty of restaurants nearby and a quick drive to the beach! Walking distance to a serene dock that overlooks the water. Great find!

Cameron's place is not on the beach but that should not deter you. His home is immaculate, spacious and worth the extra 15 minute drive to the ocean. He is a very conscientious host. There was a minor issue with the toilet that needed to be fixed before the next group came to stay and he had it fixed before we even made it back from the beach that same day. His kitchen is a cook's dream and he very kindly let me takeover half the fridge. My 8 year came with me and I will honestly say I would not recommend bringing children. Not because of Cameron, he is patient and kind with kiddos. His home is simply stunning and I was nervous and uneasy that my daughter would break or spill something the entire time. If you're child listens and obeys then by all means bring them. Mine is a happy sweetheart but we are working on the listen and obey...If you don't mind the drive to the ocean this is definitely the place to stay.

Cameron was an amazing host and made us feel welcome right away with a tour and explainations of the amenities (which were numerous and very thoughtful -if I had forgotten anything he would have had it covered,) and many suggestions of things to do and places to go. The house was gorgeous and immaculately clean and decorated and bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on away from home. The location is nice and quiet- a bit secluded but quiet and beautiful and totally worth the 20 minutes to the beach. We could not have had a better experience and we'll definitely be staying again next time we head to the beach.

Spacious house not too far from the beach. The rooms are very clean with provided toiletries and towels. Cameron was very hospitable and kind sharing his home with us. 5 Stars

We just had a short stay at Cameron's house so we didn't meet him in person but he seems like a really nice guy. The house, our room and the bathroom were VERY clean and tidy. The beach is just 15 minutes away and there are also restaurants and cafés nearby. All in all we have nothing to complain about and would recommend Cameron's place to everyone!

Beautiful, clean home in a quiet and conveniently located neighborhood. Ben was a gracious and most hospitable host!

My favorite Airbnb. A great place to get away for the weekend.

Great cottage just steps from your private beach access. Well equipped kitchen. I cooked every meal for my family and my husband used the BBQ to grill fresh fish we bought at the local seafood market! So quaint with a nice outdoor tub for rinsing off the kids after a trip to the beach. We highly recommend it!

Great place right next to the beach. Would stay there again. Chris is a great host and easily accessible. Beds are super comfy.

Great peaceful location, right next to a clean empty beech.

A great solitary mid-winter retreat

A great weekend spot and super close to the ocean. House had everything we needed. Very clean too, definitely coming back.

This house is in a beautiful location just a two-minute walk from the beach -- you can hear the waves when you sit on the great porch drinking your coffee. The kitchen is clean, up-to-date, and stocked with cooking implements. Pro tips: host does not provide linens or paper products, including towels, sheets, and toilet paper. Also, the bathroom has a kind of shutter door which not at all soundproof, and it is possible to see into the bathroom at the right angle. Overall, a charming if rustic vacation spot for anyone who lives for the beach.

Christine's Tree Spirit is the definition of rustic charm at the beach! The location, vibe, value, and cooking set up are great! Remember to bring your own linens and know that the bathroom is not fancy if that is a priority for you.

Great little vacation spot!

Brittany is the best! World class lovely hostess!! Superb stay, bravo! Highly recommend A+

Loved this place - so cute and well kept! Perfect for a beach getaway :)

Place was great for the price. Location was wonderful. My family enjoyed fishing from the pier.

Easy to deal with. Exactly as advertised.

Nice, convenient location if you don't like big crowds. Easy communication with the host, very helpful.

Clean, lovely place with a deck overlooking the marsh! So nice to enjoy the sunset and played games on deck with my kids!the beach is across the street and wonderful! A great experience!

We had a wonderful week in North Topsail. Don made sure we were all set checking in and had excellent communication throught the stay. The beach house/condo is located near both the beach and the condo association's pool and fishing pier. The property was comfortable and well maintained. If you are looking for a place to unwind and also a great value then look no further.

My daughter ( 3 years old) and my girl friend stayed at Don's for a week at the end of August 2017. The apartment is prelacy as you see it in the pictures. The walk fro apartment to the beach is not a big deal ( it was not an issue for us) , literally just 3 minute walk, 1.5 block. The back deck view is amazing.. I had a great experience and I plan to return in October.. highly recommended.

We had a great time on the little pier and being such a short walk from the beach! The townhouse is quiet and spacious with comfy firm beds and beautiful views of the Intercostal Waterway. The appliances could use an upgrade (epically loud dishwasher, super slow dryer) but everything worked and was nice and clean. Don was a super responsive host - I will definitely try to stay here the next time we're in town!

Great place with nice views, beautiful beach and couldn't be in a better place. All amenities top class.

The owner of this place made us feel so welcomed. He went above and beyond to accommodate us and our stay! I highly recommend a visit. The pictures do it no justice! It's more beautiful than advertised. Well maintained and the beach is a straight walk 300 yards in front of the house. Can't ask for more!

GREATNESS location! Even closer to the beach than I expected! Takes ab 2 minutes to have toes in the sand! Would definitely recommend!

Great place to stay. Dead end street, so there is no loud traffic. Very comfortable, clean, beautiful on the inside, great layout, everything you need is there. Extremely short walk to the beach. Hosts were great and accommodating. Will definitely return!

This house has an amazing location for the price! It's the next row back from the beach but you can see some of the beach from the top porch. There are two porches to enjoy the view from. The house was clean and there was plenty of room. The outside shower was a plus and there was a full kitchen for cooking. There was a Wal-Mart, Dunkin and a few good restaurants close by. Lots of parking spaces. You do have to climb two flights of stairs.

Fantastic, short walk to the beach, just loved the location and town! House was awesome and so beautiful! Planning on a return visit, hotel just does not compare!

Never met Kris, but it was not necessary. He was extremely responsive and very informative. His place was perfect, right on the water. 1 minute walk to the beach. The house is laid out very nicely and it is very neat and clean. We will definitely stay here again next time we are at the beach.

For a long weekend my boyfriend and I stayed at the house. We had a great time! The house had an amazing view of the ocean and had everything we could ask for to cook with in the kitchen. Kris was very responsive and we had no issues with our stay. We hope to come back soon!

Beautiful house with direct beach access. I would definitely recommend.

Beautiful place and location! Kris is extremely responsive and an excellent communicator. If you like watching sunsets, people, porpoises, having a great place for family gatherings from a beachfront locale, this is for you! We couldn't have been happier with our experience! Thank you, Kris!

Great house with a great view. Very spatious which was idea for a large group. View was fantastic. Kris was very prompt with responses to my last minute questions. Great stay!

Hands down the best beach house on the island. The host Kris is extremely helpful and is readily available to help you with questions that you may have. I will 100% rent from Kris again. The beach is amazing and the house is fully stocked and updated. Beautiful views all day as well!

Kris's home is beautiful with amazing views! Tons of room for everyone to enjoy together time as well as alone time. The elevator is a great feature loading the home with your luggage/groceries as well as carrying anyone with bad knees ! Kitchen is well stocked with most gadgets. My family is already checking calendars to see when we can book again! Kris is amazing with a quick response. Any questions just ask he will be back with you super fast! I hope you get to enjoy the home like we did.

We had a great experience at Kris' beach house. The home has a great layout and is immediately across the street from the beach. It was nice to find that there was some needed essentials in the house. We will definitely return!

First time user of Airbnb. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Alice met us at the door, showed us around the property and made us feel instantly "at home." EVERY part of our stay exceeded expectations. A quiet, clean and comfortable room made every minute of our stay a pleasure. Every need of a guest was addressed from information on local vacation attractions to beach chairs, towels and even an umbrella. Alice is an awesome host, and now, a valued friend. Do yourself a favor and spend some time staying with and chatting with Alice.

Alice is the best Airbnb host! The place itself was clean, very cute, and convenient to the beach. There is an island taxi service that was easy to use if you are looking to have a little fun and don't want to worry about driving into Topsail Island. For the price, I was very impressed with how comfortable the house was. The king bed is really nice for two, and the private bathroom is well kept. Plenty of towels and she also has chairs, coolers, and other beach gear to borrow. Alice was a phenomenal hostess, full of tips and had excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants, bars, and events. I plan on coming back to this place and you should come, too!

Alice is a wonderful and gracious host! She was there to serve and accommodate us! Her home is lovely! She has all you would need to enjoy the beach too! We had a little trouble with our GPS so a few more landmarks might have been helpful. I would recommend her place!!

Alice was a wonderful hostess! She provided great information about the Topsail area. Her home is lovely, comfortable and convenient.

At first we didn't realize we booked a room not the whole house, when we tried to cancel host said absolutely not. We ended up loving our stay! The property is beautiful and there's so much to do! The location is great too, just minutes from the beach! We loved it!

Alice is a friendly, wonderful lady and an awesome host. We stayed in the room with the king bed. The room and bed were both spacious and very comfortable. Alice likes to make sure her guests are comfortable and have all that they need. Our room had a TV, mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, coffee, tea, lots of towels, and even travel size toiletries in case we forgot anything. Alice made us feel so welcome and at home. She invited us to use her kitchen and the grill on her porch and we did! Since our son couldn't come home for a visit, we went out to NC to see him. While we were at Alice's BNB, we cooked our son several home cooked meals (which he loved). I cooked in Alice's roomy kitchen and my husband cooked on the grill; then we ate out on her screened in porch. Alice has a big beautiful yard that we also took advantage of - we played corn hole (Alice has that too), we lounged in the hammock, and relaxed on her outdoor furniture. There are several outdoor seating areas so everyone has a place to sit and relax. Her place is an awesome place for military families to stay when visiting their family members that are stationed near there. It's a great place to visit and not feel cramped or confined like you do when staying in a hotel room. Alice also knows the area very well and will recommend places to visit and eat; she won't steer you wrong. A big point I almost left out is that her place is also very close to the beach! Alice will also loan you anything you will need when you go to the beach, which is awesome when you're trying to travel light. We borrowed an umbrella from her everyday that we went to the beach. Alice was so kind, helpful, and friendly we felt like we were staying with a friend. If you travel to the Sneads Ferry or Holly Ridge area, do yourself a favor and stay with Alice; you won't regret it.

Alice is a 'SUPER' host. We were very lucky to have found her B&B. We had booked a hotel (and cancelled after we found Alice's place) and would've been very dissapointed now knowing what Alice has to offer. I cannot add to what others have reviewed as they have already covered the exceptional setup that Alice provides. Even before we travelled from MA, Alice took the time to send us detailed route options for our trip. It did not take us long to settle into this wonderfull house which quickly felt like we'd been there for a long time. It was very comfortable as if we were staying with family. I don't believe there is anything that Alice would not do for her guests. She goes way more than that extra mile. We would never hesitate to stay with Alice again.

Alice met me at the door a bit earlier than she expected me to arrive and without a hitch welcomed me into her beautiful home. She shared her refrigerator with me, has plenty of towels, toiletries, including beach towels (with pillow), chairs, boogie boards and toys for the beach. I highly recommend this location as Alice knows how to make you feel at home while away from home. The price is extremely affordable for a beach stay. Thank you so much Alice for your wonderful hospitality - I definitely will be coming back to Holly Hill, yes!!!

The location is great and the view is stunning. Water all around! The house is very well-equipped with all we could need and more. Communication was simple and quick. We will return for another visit.

This house was clean and well stocked. The beach access point is right across the street and the beaches were clean and quiet. We did not interact with the host much, as we are pretty low maintenance, but the interaction we did have was friendly and accommodating. We got married on the beach and the house was the perfect location for the reception. We look forward to returning next year!

This is a beautiful affordable place. Bob is honest, kind, and accommodating. You have water on both sides--the bay and the ocean. It was quiet and peaceful and we could not have asked for a better stay. The only thing that I would have changed was the length of our stay. I wish we could have stayed another week.

This was such an exquisite home. It was very spacious and accommodating. We didn't have to bring much stuff from home. A lot of the things we needed were provided for us and then some! The home was very clean and felt very much so like a home. My family and I loved it here! I will definitely be coming back here!

Absolutely amazing house with amazing views from every angle!!! Bob is a great host and we would definitely return!!!

How stay was awesome the house was exctaly what it had said in the description.. very spacious plenty of linens rooms and beds for everyone.. I would love to come back during the summer to feel the ocean water when it's not freezing cold lol.. My whole family loved every part of the home from the wrap around porch to all the bathrooms.. Also the view from the room to the ocean perfect.. thank you again bob...

I brought my teammates down for the weekend for a taekwondo beach camp, and Bob's place was perfect! The beach was beautiful and not too crowded, and the proximity allowed us to easily bring our gear back and forth. The home had everything we needed for the weekend and plenty of beds for the whole team-- we hope to come back next year!

Bob was very welcoming to his home. He provided a very detailed book telling us exactly where things were in the house and how to access anything we needed. The house is very spacious, much more so then the pictures show, and is very clean and comfortable to live in. The beach is only a 10 second walk away, and the view from the decking is beautiful, with the water in the not so near distance. The beach was very quiet which was perfect as we were looking for a relaxing weekend. The place was an absolutely perfect get away for me and my friends to relax by the ocean and have a great time.

Looking online for a vacation get away home and not being familiar with the area can be tricky. Luckily we stumbled upon this post. I notified Beth right away with questions and she was prompt to answer. Communication was great during the setup. The location is PERFECT. You are literally across from the ocean. We spent the days at the beach and the nights on the porch listening to the ocean. You are just a few minutes from awesome shops and restaurants. I would recommend a trip to the crab pot and Daddy Mac's. Also if you have the time, take a trip to southport for a lunch at Provision. The beach area is perfect for an all day hang out. Yet close enough to walk back home to use the restroom or refill the cooler. I would suggest bringing a wagon with you. Although it's a short walk to the beach, lugging around beach stuff can get tiring. Suggestions from us would be to make sure to bring linens, towels, toiletries, and toilet paper. The neighbors to the north of Beth's house are awesome! Very friendly and treated us like we have been friends for years. If you looking for value, the perfect spot, great host, and minimal drive time to get around- this is your place!

Great house for some time at a beautiful beach!

The place was very comfortable and convenient to many local stores. The beach was really a hop and a skip, there is an access path between two homes across from Sound Dr. Staying over at someone's home can be always be confusing to know what to bring. We brought kitchen towels, bath/beach towels, sheets & pillowcases, and mattress covers. Note: All the beds do have mattress covers. If you plan on using the kitchen send a note to the host if any specialty items are in question: toaster oven, crab leg tools, etc. All the basic dishes/pots/cups/utensils are in place. We brought our griddle and rice cooker. Later, we did see an ice cream maker and lots of board games in the closets. We also did take paper towels, napkins, tissues, toilet paper. But again, the host (Beth) is very nice to help answer questions and let us know what is available. The beach is open with many spots to setup chairs and cabana/umbrellas. There are a few local families that we met on the beach and noted it was not a problem to setup and leave your thinks on the beach front when you leave for lunch.

Topsail Island is one of my favorite NC beaches. We found Beth's home available on short notice and really enjoyed our stay with a few other couples. It is just across the block from the ocean, with easy beach access just a few houses away. The home is super cute and was clean upon our arrival. It had all the necessities for a short stay, including pots & pans in the kitchen, fridge and washer & drier. The front porch has a partial view of the ocean and was great for hanging out on after a day at the beach. Downstairs in the unfinished garage there is a neat little bar set-up with pool table & a half bathroom, plus an outdoor shower for after-beach rinses. Beth was super easy to communicate with throughout the entire trip. I highly recommend her home for smaller groups looking for a cute, easy place to stay!

We really loved this apartment. Its great for families and also a group of people it they like to play pool or table tennis. The layout of the home is excellent, we all felt like we had our own private space and yet we all had a nice common area. The entire place is designed with convenience in mind- we loved the outdoor shower so we could rinse off before going inside, the washer and dryer was great to be able to quickly dry our bathing suits and towels. We also liked that it was a stand alone home and we had no neighbors above or below us. Having all the necessary things for toddlers- like high chairs, beach toys, etc was really nice not to have to bring our own. Would definitely recommend to others and will consider staying there again. Additionally, the beach is just excellent, at low tide you can go on forever and it doesn't get very deep; at high tide its deep and great for fishing. There's really nothing that we would change about this place. Really glad we found it. Thanks Beth!

Beth's place was great for our group. Our stay would have been made better by linens and towels and coffee (we left some at the house) but Beth was clear that these things weren't provided. Thanks for sharing our home with us.

The stay at Beth's house was very good. The theme "just beachy" was visible in every room. It was perfect for a weekend at the beach, very close beach access and a nice view from the balcony. There would have been 5 stars if Beth would provide us with linen and towels. It was a nice and uncomplicated conversation with Beth.

We had a great time at Beth's place! We enjoyed dinner out on the deck every night watchingn the sunset and listening to the waves. The beach is a quick 4 min walk away! Great location!

Wonderful place to stay. Any questions we had were answered right away. Use of kayaks and canoe made it easier to do fun things without having to leave any famliy member behind. We had a great time.

Mark was a fantastic, gracious, communicative host which I think it valuable qualities to have while staying on a property. The property sat right on the marsh and the beach is just a short distance away. The amenities were nice (SUP, kayak, beach supplies) as well as amenities in the house (kitchen ware, basic spices, paper plates/ towels). Check in was a breeze. The house was clean and family friendly. The area around the property is quaint and the neighbors are welcoming. Overall we really enjoyed our stay even though there was a long to do list upon check out.

Cool little place. Fantastic location! Easy walk to beach, fishing pier, groceries, and restaurants.

Cute place, near the center of town with easy beach access. We loved the kid friendly vibe and the quirky charm. It can use alittle updating to make the place come into its own (shower specifically), as that's already on the agenda, we would recommend this home for anyone wishing to stay in Surf City! The owners are friendly, accommodating, and flexible, and much appreciated!

Amy's cottage was centrally located, clean, and comfy. It was a great spot for my dad and I as we can in and out all weekend fishing. Parking is easy and the neighbors are quiet. I would go back if heading to Surf City again!

ADORABLE. And an awesome location - right across the street from the beach access and near tons of restaurants, frozen treats and fun stuff! The photos don't do the place justice- it's really charming. The common space is open but cozy. Rocking chairs on the front porch are a great touch. This place is the perfect size for a family of 3 or 4 and Amy the host was so accommodating. She even left toys out for my 3-year old son and he had a blast. Neighbors were so friendly and helpful with check-in. We were happy as clams and we will be back.

Great location in surf city! Beach access very close, just a quick walk across the street. House was clean, nicely decorated, and Amy was very friendly. She called us as soon as the house was ready for check in to make sure we had everything we needed.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the "Old Bay". Amy was outstanding host. She even had toys for my two sons to play with during our stay. Overall, I highly recommend staying at the "Old Bay". Thanks.

I hesitate to write this because it might affect availability. This was the perfect beach cottage for my wife and I. It was roomy, clean and comfortable. Cross the street and you are at the beach access. Several wonderful restaurants within walking distance. Grocery and other shopping all in walking distance. Exactly what we were looking for. Four people can stay here comfortably. When we come back to the island, this would be my first choice of accommodations.

Old Bay is a lovely cottage. The pictures don't do it justice. You'll find everything you need close by. The beach is a very short walk and Amy has furnished most everything you need for your stay.
