Wonderful

This "older house" does need a few upgrades, but it was great for my wife and I. It was very clean, and has all the amenities you need. We spent a lot of time on the screened-in porch with a great view of the ocean. The picture of a shark made of shark's teeth was awesome. Yes, we would stay here again.
Perfect location. Easy access to the beach. Plenty of outdoor seating at the cottage. House was clean and kitchen was well furnished. Just need to add that it is an older home meaning, there are minor imperfections. But all in all, it was a great experience.
Location is perfect. Loved the direct access to the beach. Communication and responsiveness with property management was wonderful. Quaint beach house was perfect for our stay. Great accommodations for the money. Would book again.
We had a great time staying here. Very cozy with plenty of room and a great location. House was very clean and the communication was excellent. We look forward to staying again.
The house was cute and cozy. Nothing fancy, but it was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect. Steps from the beach, endless views, quiet neighbors. It was a great place to relax and destress.

Lovely vintage style cottage on the beach!
My family and I recently spent almost three weeks at this older but lovely little cottage on the ocean at Topsail Beach. We enjoyed the location (about one mile north of the Jolly Roger Pier); easy walking distance to the town of Topsail Beach. The beach in front of the house was very expansive and the beach combing was fabulous! Found many fossilized shark's teeth, including one the size of my palm. The house is cozy; it is a bit quirky but nothing that detracted in any way of our enjoyment. Owner Justin was a great host and very responsive. Beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed for a great vacation.
We had an amazing stay and loved it being oceanfront. Sitting on the rooftop deck was so nice first thing in the morning and late afternoon. When the rain came, the screen in porch was nice to still be outside and enjoy the sounds of the ocean. We made Chicken Alfredo and Tacos while we were there along with breakfast and sandwiches for lunch. We had 6 adults and plenty of room. We did not have any issues with the AC (as some of the reviews have noted). We will book again!
This area on the island is quiet even on the busiest weekend of the year. The house has been around for a while so it needs some TLC which the owner expressed up front. The beds weren’t comfortable and the a/c struggles. The owner was very nice and open to comments for future improvements.
Our stay here was short, but sweet despite the rain we made the best of our time here and the place was adorable. A few upgrades to the outside screened porch so that it didn’t leak when raining would be ideal. However, the place was suitable for our needs and had everything we needed and had an amazing time!
Five of us spent the long weekend at this lovely location. It is right on the beach and has multiple spaces to enjoy time together or in small groups. Would definitely rent again.
My family and I had an amazing trip staying here! The outdoor area is phenomenal and where we spent most of our time! Justin was a great host and responded super quickly with any questions we had. Would absolutely book again!
This little place had so much character. We had everything we needed, the view was beautiful and we loved Topsail Island. Justin was great about communicating every detail before we got there. We would definitely visit again!
We had a wonderful mini-vacation at this lovely cottage. It was the perfect size and setup for the 4 of us. We spent hours on the screen porch, and the rooftop deck was a great evening hangout spot. Would definitely rent again.
The house was delightful. We loved the fact that it was on the beach with our own private access over the dune. Amenities were fine for our short stay. The owner's description was right on the mark. We will stay there again.
Enjoyed our stay at Ocean Treasure cottage. It was an older cottage, but the interior had been updated and cottage was very clean and roomy.
Enjoyed ocean front view from roof deck and screened in porch.
Owner and management were very prompt with any questions.
Topsail is a great beach to vacation at.

Great little getaway
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. It was perfect. The beach wasn’t crowded. The rooftop deck gave us privacy. The kitchen was perfect for meals in. I’d recommend this for someone looking to get away or a larger family looking to have plenty of room.

Good choice!
We loved the location of this rental with decks overlooking the ocean and our own walkway over the dune directly to the beach. The property was exactly as described by the owner. Amenities were ample. We will definitely stay here again.
