Fantastic Beach Rental

The renovation was great. The gathering area was perfect for family game nights. Plenty of seating for everyone. The ocean views from the deck were beautiful and the covered deck made it possible to sit out there all day. The kitchen was very well supplied and our cooks really liked the barbecue right off the kitchen. We had a great time and hope to return next year.

Topsail Beach Vacation

An attractive and well-appointed cottage with lovely ocean views. We like the convenient private beach access only steps from the front door. The kitchen had plenty of cookware, plates and glasses. The owner is pleasant and responded quickly to our questions. Excellent property for family vacations.. Our overall rating is definitely 5 stars.

Great Family Beach Vacation

This property was excellent. Our family really enjoyed the open living areas upstairs and the great views. The renovations were beautiful and really covered everything you could want. The kitchen was well equipped, the elevator was handy for grandparents, and the proximity to beach access is right across the street. The owner was very attentive and responsive when we contacted her. We would definitely use this house again.

Great house, perfect location!

This house was exactly as described - maybe had even more amenities than advertised! Perfectly located within walking distance of all the businesses in surf city, and sound-side park. The house had lots of rainy day activities, including a great "under-house" area for hanging out and playing cornhole, darts, etc.

Great family vacation in a lovely beach house

If you are looking for an immaculate, beautiful, well stocked, close to everything beach house, this is it! My husband, son and I had a wonderful and relaxing week at Livin’ the Dream! It might not be oceanfront but you still have beautiful views of the ocean. There is always a breeze on the decks which we took advantage of every morning and evening. You also have access to a private beach access which is just across the street. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return. The owner, Susan is very pleasant to work with and answered any questions we had in a timely manner.

Perfect...Perfect...Perfect!

Our first family vacation at Topsail Island was perfect! We had a wonderful time making memories at this beautifully renovated, spacious home in Surf City. We were honored to be the first guests after the renovation! Kudos to Susan, the owner who pulled out all the stops to create a beautifully warm, comfortable and inviting place where our family of 11 truly felt at home! The new elevator was a huge blessing for sure. The kitchen was one of the most thoughtfully, well appointed we have ever enjoyed in our 20+ years of renting. We love cooking and sharing meals together so the large kitchen and farmhouse table was an added blessing! The house location was really perfect for us and close to everything we needed! The beds were very comfortable and the Great Room living space had plenty of cozy, comfortable seating to chat, play games or enjoy a movie together on the giant TV. We also enjoyed relaxing on the fully furnished decks as we watched the ocean waves tumble. The owner could not have been more helpful, kind and gracious! I would highly recommend this beautiful, clean, well appointed and home to anyone! We will be back Susan!!!!

Zoe, I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay and I am so pleased that the house exceeded your expectations! I, like you, enjoy cooking and am always frustrated when a rental only has 1 pot and 4 sets of dishes! You were a wonderful guest and I would love to have you and your family back! I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and look forward hearing from you in the future. Kindest regards, Susan

Best family vacation

The house was amazing. Lots of space for all 10 of us! The decks are great places to hang out and relax. Best place to read a book was the hammock on the lower deck! Beds were very comfortable. I thought it was going to be a hassle to bring our own linens but nope not a problem. There's a rental service if you prefer but not necessary. The kitchen is fully stocked and there is a Publix right over the bridge for groceries. We got fresh fish from the market in town and it was amazing. Restaurants were a short walk away. Taco place was by far the best place for us. The beach was incredible. Just a 2 minute walk from the house and you are there ready for the sun and sand. We would go back and forth all day after setting up camp. The house has a lot of stairs, kitchen on the top floor, which would be an issue if you have limited mobility, but we liked it to get our steps in for the day. I would definitely stay again. Surf city is a great place to stay, not crazy busy very relaxing. The local coffee shop/wine bar had live music every night which was fantastic. They are all about the surf there. Bring boogie boards you won't regret it.

The home was so beautiful! It was extremely well stocked and had a wonderful view of the ocean from the front deck with plenty of chairs for everyone to sit in. All of the touristy areas were within walking distance. The host was wonderful and even allowed us to check in early in the day. I would highly recommend this home for your next vacation in Top Sail NC.

Great location; great house

I almost hesitate to write a great review so we have an open week available to rebook next year! The home was a great fit for our 2 families (including teens/tweens who all were comfortable in separate beds). The kitchen was well stocked and the pantry had plenty of room for our snacks! The grill was perfect and the breeze was great for some outdoor dining a few nights. The location was close enough to walk and enjoy the pier, the park, the bridge, and some carry out. We even tried out the e-bikes from Ride TI one sunny afternoon- so fun! Thanks for sharing your home!

Great Family House

Very clean, well equipped for family cooking, games, both indoor and out. Lots of porch furniture for gathering and for just enjoying some chill time. Private beach access diagonal to the house. Plenary of cooking supplies, comfortable beds. Be prepared for the stairs though! Living, cooling, dining space on the this’d floor and no dumb-waiter, so be able-bodied to really enjoy this lovely home. Beautiful views with all rooms facing the ocean!

Beautiful Beach House

My family and I fell in love with this beach house as soon as we walked through the door. This house is beautifully decorated, clean, and well equipped. The ocean view from the top deck is amazing - it's where we hung out most of the time, especially in the morning with our coffee. Loved the private gate to the beach - kept our area on the beach less congested with crowds. Owner is very friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond to your questions. It was our first time visiting Surf City and we loved the area. Beach house location is close to everything - we will be returning next year!

THE PERFECT RENTAL HOUSE!

This house is beautifully decorated and by far the cleanest rental house we have ever stayed in! It looks brand new! The two front decks provide awesome views, so you can still enjoy the ocean and the sun if you have little ones that need midday naps! The house is equipped with EVERYTHING you will need....lots of dishes, plastic storage for leftovers (a whole drawer full), knives and pots and pans. There are tons of games, puzzles and other activities....ping pong, darts and foosball to keep children entertained. And you are so close to everything....local grocery store, restaurants and shops! The beach access is directly across the street and is gated so you don't have big crowds on the beach. The owner was a breeze to work with...We will definitely stay here again!
