Vacation 6/09

Thank you Veronica! We vacationed in your home Sept. 08 and agreed we would love to come back every year. We had hoped to find a quiet, family-friendly beach and a home comfortable for our family of 7.

Your home was just beautiful. Our children were thrilled to have so much room. The kitchen was well set up for me to prepare large meals for us all. The only downside was that the grill was not functioning.

We really enjoyed our October 20-25 vacation here. The weather was 70s during the day and cool at nights. We have three young children (4, 3, and 1) and they were in hog heavan. We were steps from the beach and chairs and tons of beach toys were available. Wind was steady and kite flying was great. The kitchen was really incredible...every implement imaginable and I cooked every meal there. Beautiful home and beach. My son had a major tantrum when we had to leave! I'd definitely stay again.

I can't say enough kind things about how wonderful our family vacation at your lovely home was. We stayed from April 26 thru May 3rd...and it was the most peaceful, relaxing wonderful vacation we've ever had. Our son James had such a good time playing with his cousin Mackenzie..they were as happy as any two five year old could be playing in the surf, digging in the sand and exploring up and down the beach for "magic shells". I got to do what I love doing, cook really good meals in your wonderful kitchen! It was so nice to step out the front door and see the beach..we went to sleep to the sound of the ocean each night. I actually got to read two books..I can't tell you when I've had the time to just sit and read. As the week progressed we all had nothing but wonderful things to say about your home and our stay. Even when I had a question about something, you were right there to answer me and solve the problem. I appreciate your friendly corespondance, and I can assure you we will be back, maybe even next year! Also, thank you for mailing me the clothes left in the dryer...I can't beleive I did such a goofy thing, but it was so sweet of you to offer to mail them to me...If anyone asks me if I can recommend a place to go with their family's to just relax and get to know each other again, I will always name your beach house first, thank you again!

This home was SUPERB and FABULOUS, our entire family loved it and it was one of the best vacations that we have ever had.his was the first time that we had looked into a private home, as we often use our timeshare, but we really wanted to have a beach vacation. When we discovered the jewel of topsail we were very excited, but I was overwhelmed with a lot of the choices. I also had terrible customer service whenever I tried to call different realtors about properties. We have a daughter with Cystic Fibrosis, and I need to know that our accomodations are going to truly be CLEAN and SMOKE FREE. Finding Veronica over the internet was such an answer to prayer. She was a pleasure to talk with, and I could tell immediately her love for her home and also the desire to allow people to vacation the way she would like to. Knowing the attention to detail that she had given. To have all of our beds made was worth it alone after driving for 10 hours with 4 children! The views were spectacular, not having any smokey residual smell, and knowing that the hot tub had fresh, clean water in it, made us just feel so much at home. Also I loved the location of the unit in comparison to the pool. At first I thought we would want to be close to the pool, but the more I thought about it I realized that with the pool would come a lot of noise. I was surprised how little my kids actually went to the pool because they had so much fun in the ocean! It was nice to be able to have it available but it was also nice to be away on the private end of all the units, where you are closest to the pier. The first night sitting out under the stars in the hot tub with my husband is a memory I think of every night I look up at the stars from PA. We definately DID not want to leave, and hit regular life as the haven that Veronica has put together just took us away to total relaxation. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is looking. If you are worried about pricing, and you want to go with some discount home, DON'T DO IT! Why have a miserable vacation where you have to complain to someone that doesn't even own the home or has the time to care, instead of paying to truly have a home away from home. It is worth EVERY PENNY, you will NOT REGRET IT. Also any problems that you may have, Veronica is always available to help you out. Thank you so much Veronica for having this home and putting such loving attention into it! We will ABSOLUTELY BE BACK!!
God Bless,
Mark, Karen Weigner and their girls!

PS My parents vacationed with us as well and they had the third floor to themselves. It was luxury, it was first class, and we all felt like we still had our own privacy. Simply FABULOUS!

Dear Mrs. Muehring,
This place was wonderful!!!! We enjoyed so much every moment we were there. Coffee, a deck, and a sunrise over the pier was a wonderful way to start the day. My daughter had just gotten home from Iraq, and we got there and unpacked before she came home that evening. She found the place while she was there in Iraq and this was her countdown to coming home! She got the top floor and was just able to relax and enjoy some time with our family and friends. Thank you so much. Every picture and description was exactly what we got. We got fresh shrimp and grilled out. We saw dolphins, and even the one morning of rain just didn't seem so bad. The furnishings and decor just made us feel so welcome. We felt like this was the best vacation we had had as a family in many years. We would love to rent again in the spring when our second daughter comes home. We couldn't have asked for better accomodations. Thank you again for your help and your care and concern for my daughter while she was in Iraq. We will definitely come back.
Sincerely,
The Lammers' and The Parrishs'

We just spent the week of Sept 29th to Oct 6th in "Veronica" heaven. Thankyou for letting our family create a lifetime of wonderful memories in your home. Our family came together to welcome home our Grandson after his second tour to Iraq.
Everything in your home was perfect. From the beds to the view, the hot tub to the kitchen. Oh did I mention the elevator? Since I am still recovering from knee surgery, I loved the elevator. We all were sad when it was time to leave. But we will be back, since we know where "home" is.

Our vacation at Topsail was in Aug 25th for the week. Myself and my son, my mother, and also my sister's family stayed at the lovely home.My brother and his wife also was able to join us. It was my nephew's 16th birthday gift from me to him. He stayed in the "penthouse". He was totally blown away. He loved the elevator to the third floor, and his own private fireplace. My sister who loves to cook (thank god) loved the kitchen. We stayed at many rentals, and she stated that this rental had the most kitchen equipment out of any other place that we stayed. I love that the beds were so comfortable. Some vacation homes, I think buy the cheapest beds that could be found. But these beds were great. You really could get a great night sleep. Also, everyone in town were very nice and social. Thank you very much for a great vacation.

We just spent 5/26-6/2/2007 in Topsail. Veronica and her family were vacationing beside us. They are a phenominal family! We are very blessed to have met them. They were friendly, but respectful of our privacy. We just happened to have our vacation week coincide. They are a dream to rent from!
The house is perfect. We shared it with my husband's parents, 2 aunts, uncle, 2 adult chidlren and 2 young teenagers. There was ample room; the privacy level is awesome. The walls are so well insulated we heard very little noise from other rooms. We heard no noise from other units. The first and second floors are controlled by individual thermostats, so the temperature was comfortable for everyone.
The bedding is absolutely dreamy! We all slept very comfortably.
We all want to go back and highly recommend the rental property to others. You'll love it as well.
