Very cute house, nicely decorated and stocked. My main issue was I didn’t know it was a duplex when I booked it, very good shots of the house in the pictures, I should have done more research. This was our first duplex and we got lucky, our neighbors didn’t know it was one either. I’m not sure the cleaning staff did the best job, I notified Mike so hopefully things will be taken care of for the next guests. The sunsets were amazing, we loved the pond behind us. The ducks, turtles, birds and frogs at night! The walk to the beach wasn’t bad but further than I thought. It’s very quiet being at the very end of the island, no shops, finally realized North End Market was available on Thursday for emergencies. Lots of military traffic in the water and sky which was fun and watched a sand dredger! We saw a horseshoe crab and stingray but no shark teeth, only the fun smooth rocks! We enjoyed Topsoil Steamer, Daddy Mac’s Beach Grille, Shaka Taco, and Celtic Creamery. Also loved the Mr. A’s Beignets truck we kept seeing, our first time having those, mini funnel cakes! This was our first trip to North Topsail Beach!
