This was my first time visiting topsail beach. The location was perfect! not to far of a walk to the beach access. The sound views were amazing. The house was perfect and the large fenced in yard was great for my dogs. Would highly recommend and hopefully I will be back as well.

“Quaint” . Excellent location and the host was great to work with. But - the house needs some work. Not the cleanest - so if you just need a place to crash at Topsail - this is it. If you are looking for some extra amenities or a nice beach cottage. Maybe not the place. But that said - the deck is amazing and it is the perfect location if you just want to chill at topsail, and - great place if you have pets. Just know that this is a beach cottage - not a nice beach house. It is priced fairly I think for what it is though.

We loved our stay here. The house was in the perfect location we had a very short walk to the beach. We loved the crows nest deck up top. When we return we will be booking this adorable house again.

Great place near Maritime Way, Topsail Beach

Perfect place for overflow lodging from a nearby family beach house during a wedding weekend. It was clean, comfortable, well stocked, and convenient. And it is a cute place with great views from the roof deck.

Wonderful property. Fenced yard so our pupwas happy running around. Walked to beach, channel and restaurants. Many opportunities to shop as well as go fishing. The home offered a den with futon and bathroom so worked well for 4th family member. Enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful location and great outdoor spaces!

Clean and cute beach house. Loved the multiple decks which gave options for being outside in the shade or sun and in or out of the wind. Easy walk to the local shops/restaurants, beach or sound. Would recommend to others and would stay here again!

Surpassed Expectations

Our stay was incredible! The property was very clean with plenty of towels, blankets and washcloths. The location was perfect as we were in town for our wedding at the Historical Society building. The host was always reachable for all our needs. I highly recommend a stay here!

Quick weekend trip

Came down for a few days for a friends retirement. Didn’t spend much time in the house, but wish I stayed longer so I could. Real nice place, clean, and quiet neighborhood. Will keep this place in mind for my next trip. Thank you!

Fun Topsail House

Overall, enjoyed the stay. It's close to the beach, has a fenced-in yard, decently-equipped kitchen, lots of sitting areas, fast internet, and a cool roof deck. Surrounding area was a bit unsightly, but not a big deal.

Quiet Retreat

The house is located close to everything. It is a very nice quiet location. The roller-skating rink is a throwback to years gone by and we had a great time playing Bingo! We hope to make it back in the near future.

Great for dogs

We really enjoyed our stay here. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dogs. We usually stay a bit closer to the beach, but the location was nice and quiet and not having to walk the dogs every time they needed to go out certainly made up for the fact that we had to walk 2 blocks to the beach. We will likely be back next year.
