Amazing beach front 4 bedroom house Dog friendly children welcome gated deck

Answer to Prayer is an airy ocean front home that is just the ticket for enjoying Topsail Island up close and in style.

The house accommodates up to 8 guests with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. Answer to Prayer is located at 122 Topsail Rd North Topsail Beach over the North High Rise Bridge to the island and 3 1/2 miles south. It is a short drive (4 miles) to downtown Surf City (and the new high rise bridge) for shopping and dining. A dog friendly, smoke free refuge for you, your family and friends is waiting.

You'll love the mornings. We like to get up early with a steaming cup of coffee and sit out on the deck. It's so quiet, but the beach is waking up. The waves crash on the shore, sea gulls gawk at one another.

A flock of pelicans come 'floating' on the winds as they cruise the tops of the waves looking for breakfast. The morning sun warms us up.

My husband decides he wants to go for a ride on his bike. He heads south on the bike shoulder lane waving at the friendly islanders driving in the early morning. After a good run to the southern part of the island, he gets off at the point to smell the jasmine and salt air.

As he heads back, he stops at "Seas the Day," a beach house owned by a friend of ours in Surf City. We have friends staying there who have come to Topsail Island the same week as us. After he greets them and visits for a while, he invites them to the barbecue we are planning that night.

While he is riding on his bike, I decide I will take a quick dip and swim a little. The water is chilly at first, but then the Caribbean kissed waters seem to warm up. After a workout, I climb back on the beach and then to take a shower. I decide that I will lay in the sun later. But first I want to do a little shopping at this absolutely darling clothes shop in Surf City.

I could go on and on about how much you'll enjoy Answer to Prayer, but I invite you to come and make your own vacation.

I just can't say enough positive things about our stay. The home was lovely, well appointed and very clean. The furniture and beds were comfortable. The deck was perfect and we loved having both higher chairs and lower ones depending on the breeze and how cool it was.Being just steps from the beach was amazing. We went down to the ocean and back many times a day because it was so convenient. The manager and owner were very easy to work with and provided excellent communication and service.I highly recommend. We will definitely book again.

Host was wonderful. Beautiful and well maintained. Definitely read the contract because you need to either rent towels/ sheets or bring them with you. Same with condiments. However the house is well worth it and - again- the hosts are marvelous. Already rebooked.

This was our second stay at the Answer to Prayer. The house is a perfect fit for our family. We had ample room to spread out and to be together for meals. Beds were comfortable, and of course, the beach access and view is fantastic.

We have stayed at this property many times before and have always felt that although the house is older and in need of some updating, it was extremely welcoming and clean. This was not the case this time. This property was barely touched by a cleaning staff if it was even cleaned at all! Bathroom rugs were piled in a corner and very dirty. Bedding was old and stained. Sand and dirt were swept under the beds and under old filthy throw rugs. Kitchen utensils still had food on them in the drawers and the sink had not been scrubbed. Anything we needed to use in the kitchen had to be washed first. The list goes on…

Great vacation right on the beach

This beach house was a great location for our family, right on the beach and not far to restaurants, grocery and shopping. We really had a great time playing on the beach, which is beautiful and spacious. There is a public beach access right next to the house but the beach was never crowded. The kitchen has everything you need in terms of pots, pans, etc. Everything was clean. My only two things with the house was that the beds upstairs are very lumpy and soft so if you prefer a firm mattress you may want to know that in advance, and the whole house shakes when the washing machine is on spin cycle. Other than that, the house was great for me, my husband, 3 kids and 2 grandparents.

This is a great place to stay. It was our first time at Topsail Island and the house is in a perfect location, away from all of the traffic and noise, but close to everything you need. We will be recommending to our friends and my family already wants me to book for next year. Thank you Mr. Thompson for calling and checking on us, this was the first house we have rented where to owner called to check on things.

Return visit to Answer to Prayer. This is a single family gem amongst the endless duplexes and townhomes that have overtaken Topsail Island. The first days the beach was empty and the location of the property is excellent. Thanks for making this amazing home available.
