The house had more than just the essentials. Nice dishes, plenty of utensils, glasses and cookware. The space met our needs and was quite comfortable. The beds were excellent with firm mattresses. There were some issues with 2 of the showers, staff responded quickly, but we did not want to have the maintenance folks during our vacation. I'm certain the maintenance will be taken care of.Easy beach access, great decks, outdoor wash-off stations made beach life easy!Traveled with family and dogs. A great area to walk anytime of the day or night

The beach view & access cannot be beat. Having shades to block sun was appreciated and we were so happy to have a hose to wash off our feet and our dog. Updated kitchen was nice. Recommend a table cloth as the wooden dining table feels sticky even after cleaning (could be the finish / environmental). It would be ideal for the property to include beach towels & chairs. Bring a sun umbrella!!

Surrender to Sweet Surrender!

Quartz counters, large farmhouse sink, plenty of chairs, a nice big table. and comfortable sofa and loveseat helped make for a very enjoyable week. The house is lovely and nicely appointed with personal art etc. Very homey.Kitchen is well stocked and the eat in counters are great. There are 2 coffee makers drip and K-cup so everyone can have their preference of morning beverages.

Serene Sweet Surrender

It was one of our best family vacations ever. We came in on Sunday and never used the car after Monday. The convenience to things at S Topsail was incredible: post office, Quarter Moon, shops, Breezeway, skating, putt putt,Beach Grill, bikes. Ice cream. The house was awesome…incredible view. Being raised in Baltimore, it thrilled me to no end to grab a Camden Yards coffee cup from the cabinet. Our family is growing and sadly we have outgrown Sweet Surrender. Hopefully we can locate another cottage larger in the same area. We loved our week and the weather was great. John Giles
