Wonderful oceanfront home
This house was perfect for our weekend with three couples at the beach: there was plenty of space, it was *very* well supplied, and it's right on the ocean! Communication/check-in was easy, and the personal touches were lovely. We'll definitely try to stay here again!

Family Memories
Our kids and grandkids converged from three states for a peaceful week at the beach. The house was the perfect place to swim and play and share time together. Just far enough from town to offer uncrowded beachfronts.

Top notch experience
We decided on a short getaway at the last minute. Our options were limited at such short notice and I'm so glad they were! This home was PERFECT. Not only the home but the customer service from Krisha absolutely made our trip! I would recommend this listed all day long!

Perfect beach getaway!
Topsail island was a quiet spot for a relaxing fall beach vacation with my parents! Loved this spot approx. 2 miles from the Surf City Pier. Beautiful views of the sunrise and the deck was perfect for reading and cocktails. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect!
Beachfront, very well stocked and maintained with nice linens, towels, soaps etc. Comfortable beds and furniture. Three generations stayed for 5 nights. Nice open living area big enough for all of us. Two decks, we loved the swing! And then, there was the beach. . .
Host was accommodating in every way. Great vacation, we'll be back!
