The house was perfect for our situation. The split floor plan allowed us to be together but for people to have privacy with their own bedrooms and bathrooms. The view from the multiple balconies is stunning. We arrived just one day after the hurricane turned away from the coast and the waves were amazing. We loved watching people surf. We have been coming to this area for 40 years and always enjoy the quiet atmosphere and beautiful beach areas.

we have found our beach getaway home right here! It was beautifully staged for us with beach towels, and bath towels. Location is perfect, central to most essentials in surf city. They have outdoor shower with hot water for when you come out of the beach and need to wash off.The check in process was smooth and easy to understand, and check out is a breeze also. The host is lovely, and responded quickly to any questions i had. I love this home and we will absolutely be returning for another vacation!

This property is ideal for a family trip! The floor plan affords every bedroom an ocean view along with the vaulted open floor plan of living room, dining area & kitchen. The kitchen has everything to easily make meals. Easy access to the beach is ideal for adults & children to enjoy the beach & ocean. One needs to be able to navigate numerous steps but the view is magnificent. We would highly recommend it.

This house was great! Plenty of space for the 6 of us. The house is clean and comfortable. It’s right on the beach and so nice to be able to walk out the door a few steps and be in the sand. We sat on the deck a lot watching surfers and star gazing. There is a garage we used to store our bikes. Inside the garage was a grill, beach chairs, beach toys and boogie boards. We would definitely stay here again!

Fun Stay!

We enjoyed our time here, and the layout is great for multiple families. My parents stayed in the bedroom upstairs, while my husband and I stayed with our kids in the three bedrooms downstairs.This is one of the cleaner beach properties I've stayed in, which can be hard to find! I also loved all the windows and natural light throughout.

Has everything! Beautiful home

We come to this area every year, the first week in November because the weather is usually nice and we like to surf fish. The home was beautifully decorated and updated. Right on the beach, we woke up every morning to the sounds of the ocean. Erik was more than accommodating. We had just a few questions and he answered them timely, and efficiently. The home is well stocked with all the amenities you could think of. We were very impressed. We will definitely be back!

Treated us like property managers

Whatever the house needed felt like it was scheduled while we were there, with zero respect for us being on vacation. Yes, he credited me one night, and the house was perfect, but three days of our week vacation was spent overseeing maintenance workers. We've never had such a horrible experience; imagine it's your vacation, and you wake up with ladders slamming into the wall outside! Had it not been for the host, It would have been five stars, but this guy didn't care that we wanted respite. He acted like us; playing property manager was my dream gig on vacation.

Awesome!

We’ve stayed a few times in Top Sail over the past couple years. This property was definitely one of the best we’ve stayed at. It was spotless, easily accessible to everything, fully furnished, the neighborhood was safe, and the owner was great to communicate with. Upon arriving I had a couple questions and Erick responded in seconds. During our stay, we got rain & wind from the tropical storm and he texted to check on us. We will definitely be staying here again!
