SOME KIND WORDS FROM OUR GUESTS:
"Jamie’s place is amazing. The location is perfect. The view is perfect. The place is very clean and well-maintained. Both Jamie and the property manager are extremely helpful and responsive. Will definitely come back." Michael

"This place is awesome, Jamie provided everything we could need, it was immaculately clean, the location is unbelievable. The layout of the house was perfect for us and our needs, and it was very well furnished and decorated. We have rented beach houses on topsail every year for nearly a decade now and Jamie’s was the best so far. 5/5 in all categories, we would definitely stay here again." -Nick

"Jamie’s place was absolutely gorgeous! The interior was beautifully decorated, crisp, and clean. Watching the sunrise over the beach from the hot tub was an absolute dream. Everything exceeded my expectations. I had a very short trip, but enjoyed every minute!" Zoe

--THE LOCATION--
Our reviews can attest to the convenience and beauty of the location. The house is located in the heart of Surf City right over the bridge. It is walkable to all the best shops and restaurants in Surf City as well as adjacent to Surf City pier, open 24 hours for fishing and views. You can see the lights of the peer shining on the ocean from your private hot tub. Steps away is the best ice cream, tacos, and oceanfront restaurants in town!


--THE HOUSE--
Remodeled & furnished in 2021 with guest experience top of mind, Sweet Escape was designed to be your home away from home. The house is a reverse floorplan to really heighten your ocean view with bedrooms on the first 2 levels and kitchen/dining/main living area on 3rd. (*Guests will need to be comfortable with stairs as the house is 3 levels.) All beds are made up with linens for guest arrival. We also provide luggage racks, extra pillows, blankets, etc.

FIRST FLOOR
Walk in the front door to our large open living area, two bedrooms, full bathroom, and kitchenette. The couch turns into a queen sized sleeper sofa allowing a total of 8 guests to sleep on this level. We created the 1st floor to be the FUN ZONE for kids/teens with foosball, Hot Shot Basketball, along with game or movie nights.

Two sliders open to the deck allowing you to be as close to the ocean as possible while in the comfort of home. Our newly remodeled kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful and is well stocked with brand new appliances and everything you’ll need to make gourmet meals should you so desire. There are 6 barstools in addition to a table that seats 8-10 allowing your whole group to gather and enjoy a meal together while you soak in the views. A pantry provides extra storage as well as houses 2 high chairs.

--PETS--
Some pets do better than others on vacation. We are happy to consider your dog without a pet fee. If you would like to bring your dog please send us an inquiry telling us a little bit about him or her. We ask that he/she be well-trained and not go on beds or sofas as these fabrics are hard to remove fur from. We allow up to 2 dogs. We provide dog blankets for furniture.

We recommend purchasing private traveler's insurance as we do not offer refunds for cancellations outside of our policy. Hurricane season runs from June 1st -November 30 in NC with most activity in September and October. Trip interruption insurance (travel insurance) is highly recommended during these months. If the island evacuates, then we would certainly refund.

Surf city shindig

Everything was great and well provisioned. The location was perfect as it was walking distance to everything in surf city and short drive to Publix. Lots of new beach chairs and a shade sail (shibumi). Great layout with family gathering on top floor, adults second kids on first. Loved the location would definitely rent again.

Amazing beach house and you can’t beat the location!! Jamie was wonderful to answer any questions. Home was very clean and beautiful and perfect for large families. Only complaint is the king bed was horrible the mattress needs to be replaced asap. My husband and I both left with back pain from the horrible mattress. For the price point and it being the primary a better quality bed should have definitely been used. The other beds in the house were not bad. We would definitely stay here again I would just make sure the king mattress was changed.

Sweet Escape Getaway

Our stay at Sweet Escape was absolutely amazing. This is our third time here in the Topsail/Surf City area and we really love it here. I will begin my review of the home by noting on Jamie’s true professionalism and courtesy throughout the entire booking process. He made everything so easy and was there to answer any of my questions. Now the home was one of the nicer ones my family and I have stayed in. Located in the heart of Surf City, you could basically walk to most of the amenities. My dad and I love to fish and it was really awesome to have the pier right beside us. The house itself was a real “gem”. It had plenty of space for big families, was very clean and neat, and was equipped with most of the basic necessities. I’m a grown man but a kid at heart so I really enjoyed the basketball game and foosball table. And last but not least, THE VIEW was the best part. Listening to the waves crash at night and in the morning was truly enjoyable. I recommend this property to anyone searching for a relaxing getaway. Thanks and great job!!~Eric

Great location!

We had a great week staying at Sweet Escape. The owner and property manager were very easy to communicate with and made the check in and check out process very easy. They were very accommodating to allow us to bring our dog and have basically thought of all the necessities. It was nice to not have to worry about linens and all the paper products- all of it was provided. So much nicer than having to bring or rent linens (as I’ve had to do at other properties in the past). And the appliances are so nice and up to date - with two full size washers and dryers! The only thing we did do was purchase another electric frying pan because almost all of the pans in the kitchen were smaller and warped from use. There was a really large electric griddle and that got used every day - but with our large group we needed another big pan. The views are amazing and it’s great to be in walking distance to so many things - including the pier. The only drawback for me was that it is directly next to a busy public access and I feel like it could get crowded on the beach especially during the busier season. However, I would definitely give this a five star rating and stay there again! We love Surf City!!

We had a wonderful stay here during our Surf City vacation with friends. The house was clean and comfortable for adults and small kids. We loved the spacious upstairs living area and the location is amazing!! My only feedback is that the downstairs bunk bed room is a bit cramped for two kids with the basketball game. But it was very manageable. We would definitely come back!

Location location location! One might think having a public access to the beach might be a concern. No worries! Moose or intrusion from that pass through and did not excessively crowd the beach. The kitchen was very well stocked with quality cookware (no scratched cheap teflon pans). Two blenders and a crockpot. Plenty of dishes and glassware! Nearby ice cream shop, surf shop, and small IGA grocery store were used and appreciated.

Amazing beach house

This beach house was huge! There was lots of room for everyone to spread out. The basketball and foosball were great for the boys. We loved that the two queen rooms went out to the hot tub. There are 4 full showers! They also provide shower towels and beach towels. The two washers and dryers were great to keep up with the towels. The top floor is stunning. Beautiful views and desk. The huge table was great for a big family dinner. You can’t beat the location. It’s a short walk to get a coffee, ice cream or dinner. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Amazing ocean views in the middle of town

Perfect property for our mini family reunion. Gorgeous views of the ocean and pier, and literally steps away from everything Surf City has to offer. We enjoyed watching surfers and dolphins daily from the expansive third floor living area and deck. The local property manager, Christine, was friendly, helpful and extremely responsive.

Just what the doctor ordered

Overall great place. The location was the best part...right on the ocean, right off the bridge, and walking distance to restaurants, shops, grocery, and night life. We gave the house a four in a couple of areas because it just doesn't show as well as the pictures...overall it was surface clean, but it's definitely time for a deep clean (beach houses are tough with climate and sand...so some is understandable). My preference is that if it's pictured a certain way, it should be that way when you arrive...and this one fell short a bit on that. Best views in the house are from the third level (kitchen and living room)....great deck with elevated chairs to see the full beach, ocean, and sky! Having said that, we'd rent this one again.
