The Lazy Palm - 1 BR Ocean View Surf Condo - Community Pool
Ocean and pool views can be had from your private covered porch! Enjoy your vacation in a fabulous, non-smoking, oceanview, poolside, second floor condo.
Enjoy a nice cup of java on your private balcony/porch and witness a dazzling sunrise as it emerges from the grasp of the mighty Atlantic Ocean! Or if you prefer, the sites & sounds of the ocean can also be enjoyed from the living room, kitchen or dining area. Should you chose to cook in, your kitchen includes everything you need to prepare your own seaside fare right down to the blender for your fresh strawberry daiquiris. Dine at the breakfast bar, the dining room table or while reclining on your deck.
You can relax at the beach or at the swimming pool, which includes a poolside gazebo and a vast expanse of multi-level decking complete with lounge chairs. Paved walkways lead to a cream-colored sandy beach and aquamarine ocean. And after a day of surf and sun, allow you to wash away the soft, fine sand in the outdoor showers.
In the evening, after being mesmerized by the glimmering trail of moonlight off the restless ocean, after counting millions of "extra" stars while strolling along our miles of beaches, you can lie back in bed and allow the rhythmic purr of the ocean to lull you to sleep.

This was a nice property with a family friendly campus. Condo was comfortable and only a short walk to the beach. The bed was comfortable, the pool was fantastic. The employees at the Ward Realty office were very friendly and helpful during check in and out.

Thank you for the great review ! Glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for the feedback for future guests !
We love Topsail and used to own at Unit next door to where we stayed. They’ve made amazing updates to the units and this one didn’t disappoint! The unit was pristine, the view was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway! We hope to be back soon!

Thank you for the 5 Star Review! We are so glad that you loved your stay. We at Ward Realty look forward to helping you plan another perfect trip on your next visit to Topsail Island.
We were impressed with the amount of space this condo had. It was perfect for 2 adults and 2 teens. Clean and great communication from the realty company.

This was a nice condo overall. Be aware however that the walls and ceilings are thin. Conversations, TVs and footsteps (including a speedy pet!) were all quite audible during our stay.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry that your found the condo too loud. We would be happy to help you select a different type of accommodations. Just give us a call, we are here to help.
The condo was reflected well in the photos provided. Unit was clean without odors. Good proximity to the beach. Closeline on deck was a nice addition. Kitchen was well stocked. Normal water pressure in shower and shower head was appropriate height. My son loved the built in bunkbeds and Wii.

Very tired unit, desperate for remodel
Very outdated unit, needs total remodel, disgusting carpet. Great view and location. Sad that it's in such poor condition.
Everything was lovely, I would recommend basic supplies, such as salt and pepper, hand soap, dish washing detergent be on hand. Internet was spotty. Great view! Easy access to everything.
Everything was very nice and clean except for a little sand. We were told that there wouldn’t be very much in the condo (toilet paper, cleaning products, etc.) but there was. Had a great time.
This is a great condo with a perfect view of the ocean. So clean and comfortable!

Dirty, Loud, Inaccurate listing
The first thing we noticed upon entering the property, was the musty odor. It did not smell clean. Then we noticed that the balcony does have an ocean view, but is not "ocean front" as listed in the title on VRBO.
The balcony was very dirty. Neither the light nor the receptacle on the balcony were in working order.
The breaker box in the hallway does not latch shut.
The bathroom door is very difficult to get latched shut as well.
Be sure to bring all linens; sheets, pillowcases, bath towels, wash cloths, and dish towels.
The sofa bed is listed as a queen size. It is not. It may be a full at best. My 13 year old son, who is 6ft tall had to remove the mattress from the sofa bed and add pillows from the couch to the end of it and sleep on the floor in order for it to be long enough for him to sleep on.
There are NO pillows for the sofa bed. There are 2 pillows for the king bed, and one for each twin bunk. Luckily, we had brought a few extra with us.
The property is very loud. We could hear every person stomping up and down the wooden steps. We could also hear conversations and TV sounds from people in the neighboring units.
***Note: If you are planning on checking out on a Sunday, be prepared to either return your key card on Saturday evening, or have to wait a couple of weeks to get your deposit mailed to you. Check out is at 10am, but the realty does not open until 1pm on Sunday. Nowhere in the check out email does it say this.
The area and the beach were nice. We will definitely be returning to Topsail Island. We will not be staying at the Lazy Palm agan.

We do apologize for an inconvenience in the delay of receiving your key deposit check. We do have shorter business hours on Sundays. Thank you for sharing your concerns with us about the latches etc, these are being addressed with maintenance and the homeowner will add additional pillows for the sleeper sofa.
This condo is in a great location right on the beach and near everything in Surf City. Everything was comfortable but could have been cleaner.

may as well gone thru a realty co
my daughter in law suggested VRBO so i thought i'd try it. it looked reasonable but i did not know i would have to go thru a realty co to complete reservation and payment. i had always dealt with the co. we had to go thru for completion of registration so i feel i could have done without the middleman of VRBO. the place was nice but a lot of remodeling going on and the contractors left a trail of drywall mud & dust from 3ed floor to parking lot.

Thank you for the great review - we hope that you enjoyed your stay. We apologize for any additional drywall dust and debris, many properties throughout the island are beginning to wrap up renovations and repairs since Hurricane Florence. We hope that we will see you again on Topsail Island and we'd be happy to work with you directly in the future.

condo cool and comfy.
Our condo was comfortable and spacious. It came with everything we needed and a few extras. We enjoyed the location and large pool. Easy walk to the beach and nice people.
Only concern was noise from adjacent rooms at night.

Thank you for the great review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at the Lazy Palm, one of our great selections at the Surf Condo's. While staying in a condo complex does offer the best of both worlds with a pool and easy beach access, if sound from neighboring units is bothersome, we at Ward Realty would love to help you find something just right for you!
