Enjoyed it overall ... but...
We have been coming to Surf City for years and tried this spot out for the first time. Overall was a nice place to stay! The dock is beautiful and the rooms fit everyone. But had a couple things that made this more like a 4 or 4.5 than a 5 star review. For a place that "sleeps 11" there's really only one usable pot, which makes making dinner a really long ordeal (unless you want to cook things in tiny saucepans?). The dining room table only seats 6 and while there are barstools, having a bigger table to accommodate the number of guests you have would be nice. Finally, the part that probably frustrated us the most was that the thermostat was on a timer (which is fine) but the owners set the A/C to go totally OFF starting TWO hours before checkout time, which made for a very sweaty clean-up and checkout process. I reached out to the owners about it at the time, thinking at first something was broken, but no response. If you can do it on a timer, just set the timer for the actual checkout time and let us clean your place, doing the dishes and laundry, without panting.

Easter weekend at the beach
My husband and I were visiting our daughter and 4 grands (8,6,4,2) in NC for 2 weeks. We decided to take them to the beach for a getaway! This property was perfect. Master upstairs for my hubby and I, and master and 2 bunk rooms on 2 nd floor. Quick walk to the beach. We had rain one day and hung out watching movies and playing monopoly (which was provided)!

WONDERFUL PROPERTY
We enjoyed our stay SO much. The property is even better in person than it looks in the listing. So well appointed, everything you would expect and more. Pantry items, detergeant, foil and even a small stocked pantry. We loved the views from the balconies on every bedroom and two master suites. The porch hammock swing was so relaxing and can we talk about the OWNERS for a moment?! Every communication was answered within seconds and even followed up by a call if needed. They were so friendly and responsive from the booking to check out. Dont hesitate to grab this one if its available. We are local but this will be our go to for all future visits. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Barsky

Host profile image
We moved from PA to NC in 2015 and are proud to now call NC home. We have a young family and enjoy the beach house both to use/renovate for our own leisure, as well as share it with others. We love getting to know our guests as well as the occasions they're traveling for and consider it our privilege to host an incredible vacation for your group. Because we own the property and do not use a management company, we provide customized communication to meet all of your needs and ensure a memorable stay for you and your family/friends!

Why they chose this property

We love Topsail Island! After exploring the NC area, it was our first choice when searching for a beach home with beautiful, tropical water beaches (minus the crowds), locally-owned fresh food restaurants, and authentic boutique shopping. We looked for a home in the area for a year, and when we viewed this one we fell in love. It's a newer home with a beautiful interior and awesome views all around. it is our pleasure to open this home to you...we know that you'll enjoy your stay! This home has awesome views of the Ocean and the Intra Coastal Waterway from all four (4) decks. It is situated on a narrow section of the island that offers this unique perspective. Get amazing views without paying the oceanfront prices. House is approximately 300 feet from the beach and less than 5 minute walk to a beach access. Just a short walk or bike ride to Surf City restaurants, shopping, and the pier.

What makes this property unique

Community private-pool, open in the summer, it is accessed by only a few homes so it is usually uncrowned and always private. Community day dock, that stretches far out into the ICW for fishing, kayaking, crabbing, and sun bathing or just viewing the unforgettable sunsets. Newer home located in beautiful Live Oaks Community setting.
