We had a great stay at Lorson Landing! Beautiful home with costal decor- just perfect for our family of 4. Only a 5–7 min walk to the beach and the deck overlooking the marsh was quite breathtaking.

The House in Surf City was amazing! Everything from our check-in to check-out was very smooth. The house was very clean and very comfortable. I did bring my pet (dog) along for the trip which was awesome and very comfortable for him as well. We really enjoyed our stay from the comfort of the house to the closeness of the beach and restaurants as well as the beautiful views off the back and roof decks. Definitely a week of relaxation and we really enjoyed our trip. We would definitely like to return to this same house again. Thanks for such great accommodations and a great vacation!

We truly enjoyed our long weekend in Topsail! The home was very clean and comfy, with a modern kitchen, spacious bedrooms with lovely, comfortable beds, and a clean, updated laundry area. Beach chairs, a wagon, and kayaks were welcome additions that added to the fun without additional expense or packing!“Even better” would have included more livingroom seating (for stretching out) and fewer food items left in kitchen cupboards (we had to clear to make room for our own stuff).All in all, a wonderful experience!

A great base for an enjoyable family vacation! Gorgeous views of the Intercoastal from the multiple balconies. Kayaks and bikes to get around. And a short walk to the beach. Pet friendly and well-maintained. Didn’t try the hot tub- too many other activities on this trip. We would definitely stay here again.

What a fantastic home! We loved everything about our stay, the house was gorgeous, super comfortable, had everything you could need. The 3 decks looking over the water had a lovely cool breeze, and it was fun having 2 kayaks to explore the water and bird watch! It was an easy walk to a beautiful and not too crowded part of the beach, far enough away from town to avoid the big crowds but close enough to walk down in the morning for coffee! Our host, Missy, was super responsive, helpful and friendly. We can't wait to come back to this perfect Surf City vacation house!

The property was great, the location was great because we were close enough to the heart of Surf City to either walk or ride to the shops and food, but far enough away that our beach access area was not overcrowded

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Malissa Lorson

Host profile image

Hello,
We are Joe and Malissa Lorson. We are the owners and the managers of this property.
We live nearby in Jacksonville, NC and we are available to assist immediately should anything come up during your stay. We bought this beautiful beach property in Spring of 2015.
Together we have 6 six children & 4 wonderful grandbabies.
We love our jobs but just as much we love relaxing at the beach and enjoying the company of each other and our family. We want to give you and your family the same experiences we've had here on Topsail Island.

Why they chose this property

You will fall in love with the serenity of the water views from all rooms in this beautiful home. You will especially enjoy the peacefulness of being directly on the waterway. We have a 6 person hot-tub to soothe your muscles and your mind. When you're done in the hot-tub, take a stroll down the lighted pier and relax on the small dock. You can fish, crab, watch the wildlife or enjoy a glass of wine. We've seen more species of birds from this dock than we ever dreamed imaginable.

What makes this property unique

There is something very special about this home that is hard to put into words. We searched the island for a property knowing exactly what we were looking for. As soon as we walked in, we both knew this was it! We haven't met anyone who didn't feel exactly the same after staying here. We like to treat our guests like family and your comfort is our primary concern. We love to travel and we have incorporated the very best parts of our travels into your vacation stay. You will find all the luxuries of home, a complete and furnished kitchen with all the upgrades.
We know that you have many options when choosing a place to stay for your vacation but we are always thankful and honored when you choose ours. We look forward to hearing from you!
