Beach Vacation

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. The location was great we could see the water from the deck and the area was quiet. The house was perfect for the five of us. And thanks to the owners for keeping in touch with us to make sure everything was good.

Perfect fit for myself, hubby and grown dtr for a week. Very nice place and wonderful location. Bathrooms were bigger than I was expecting with only being 800 sq ft. We had plenty of room! Love the front porch too!

The house was perfect for our small family. We loved the location because it was close to restaurants and shops, but also so close to be the beach. Check-In and Check-Out were so simple. We were able to easily communicate with the property owner, he was super quick to respond and checked in on us during our stay. He also provided us with a list of things to do and offered great advice for our stay. Would definitely recommend this home for another family.

Beautiful!!!

This is a great place for a small family. The property has a large deck with ocean view. The outdoor hammock is very relaxing after a long day on the beach. It is a very short walk to the beach and the outdoor shower is handy. The owners were polite, helpful, and accommodating. We had a fantastic time and I highly recommend a stay here.

Good location easy beach access

Nice house with easy access to beach. Outdoor shower a plus. Not cluttered with cheesy beach decor like some. Mattress in master bedroom not comfortable. Front bedroom was better. Outdoor deck lighting and furniture were nice. Showers are small but would still recommend this place.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 October 2023
Thanks for the kind words. Just a note: The mattress in the main bedroom is a new (just purchased) memory foam. If you're not used to memory foam it will feel a little more firm at first than a traditional innerspring. We believe in choices so we moved the inner spring to the front room for people who prefer squishy.

Watch Out For The Yard

My family and I stayed for a week with our two dogs and fully enjoyed our stay in the house. From the moment we walked in you could tell it was thoroughly cleaned, it was quite honestly the cleanest house I have ever rented on Vrbo. But there was one problem with the yard of the property. In the yard there were plants that had little balls with thorns and would stick onto the bottom of our shoes, feet, and onto the paws of our dogs. On another note the showers were a tight fit, but it did its job; the bed frame in the master bedroom would constantly squeak if you moved a little but its not a issue if you are a heavy sleeper. Overall, even with some of the issues I highly recommended staying at this property and at Topsail itself.

Thanks Bety, I did a advise you in your welcome packet about the cocklebur plants that are indigenous to the island and to pack some tweezers or a Hemostat to save your fingers! I agree they’re pretty annoying but since we border the right of way there is not much we can do about them. Thanks for your comments.

Awesome Rental

House was just as pictured. Very clean, comfy and up to date. Even though it’s not ocean front, the view for the deck is so nice. Loved sitting on the porch at night listening to the waves. Beach access is near the rental which was great. Location is great, only a short distance to restaurants. Rental is located in a nice, laid back area. We had no issues with noise or loud neighbors. Owners were great to work with. I used my work phone and e-mail for the rental. For some reason it blocked all my messages with check-in instructions. I called the owner twice on my first day lol. They were very helpful, polite and resent the instructions to my daughters email which we received with no problems. Even called me the next day to make sure everything was okay. I would highly recommend this rental.

Beach getaway

Fantastic location! Super short walk to beach! You can see and hear the ocean from the deck! Loved the outdoor shower and the covered parking area under the house. There was a closet to put your chairs and other beach items in under the house. There were beach toys, beach chairs (3 and 1 that was wooden but we didn’t use that one),an inner tube, and a boogie board. There was a clothes line under the house too. The house was cozy and cute. AC works like a dream! All rooms have a ceiling fan. The showers are a little tight to shave your legs ladies but you can always use the outside shower. We found the beds to be comfortable. There are only 4 chairs at the kitchen table but there are wooden TV trays you can use. Overall we really enjoyed Conched Out and the owners were amazing. They were always available to text or call. They even called us midweek to see how our stay was going and asked if we needed anything!
