Fantastic house, exact location that it had on the listing everything was perfect. The host was fantastic and answered every question that we had.. definitely would stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean, exactly as described, had everything we needed, and perfect location for the beach! Our host was very responsive and check-in was a breeze!
Everything about the stay was really good! Luke was very communicative and helped to ensure ease of check in and check out process. All basic amenities provided, in addition, plenty of kennels/crates for my dog, nice outdoor shower to wash off sand, tv, internet, W&D, even used a provided beach bag to collect sea glass and shells. Small cottage perfect for 2 adults (plus our dog). We would have used the underside of the cottage to hang out, but it was just too humid. Enjoyed the beach though! Would stay again!
The property was excellent. Very clean everything you need and very pet friendly walking distance to the beach. Met some of the people in the neighborhood. They were great. We had a great stay.
This is a great place to stay for a couple or solo traveler with their dog. We stayed here and loved it. Features we liked:- one bedroom and living roomcombined, with small kitchen and bath but It was plenty of room for my girlfriend and I. - We loved that we were able to bring our dog. - Beach is across the street, five minute walk. - patio below the house is very neat, includes couch, tv, beer fridge, outdoor shower, and washer/dryer. Definitely recommend and would stay here again!
The property was PERFECT for a quiet getaway, the owner Luke was great at communicating with us, and the beach is literally just across the street. We’ll definitely come back and also share how amazing this property is with friends and coworkers.
Our weekend stay was amazing. Everything was as advertised. The owner made the check in and check out process easy. The owner established a line of communication with me in the event I needed anything. We truly enjoyed our stay and will book this place for future trips to the area.
The place was super clean and very nice. A short walk to the beach and a super cute enclosed outside area.

About the host
Hosted by Luke Glusco
Jodi and Luke live just up the street, in the house that used to be their other vacation rental. They have been welcoming guests to "The Piper" since 2023. ... We love North Topsail and hosting this wonderful little bungalow. We're constantly looking for ways to upgrade. We hope you'll find the place awesome now and even better if you return in the future!
Why they chose this property
We love that our street is a bit out of the way and fairly quiet, yet the beach and sound are a very short walk away.
What makes this property unique
The dog kennel, outdoor shower and decks are among the things we really like.
