Family Reunion
Beach House was true to listing, but we had some issues, Door was very hard to lock, cleaning crew needs help, master bedroom mattress was stained and had grass all over it, we had to vacuum it, hair dryer didn't work, the lint filter in dryer was full of dog hair, But we did enjoy our stay.

Topsail Sisters’ Trip 2023
Nice location on the island & if we’d had children with us, the park next door would’ve been ideal. We were actually looking for something closer/walkable to SC circle/restaurants/shops but bc it was Sept, island traffic wasn’t an issue. BTW, We loved the Trailer Bar!❤️ However, kitchen cleanliness was an issue for us. Random sticky items in drawers, food left in fridge, pots/pans “piled” in cabinet. Bedroom closets had random items on the shelves/floors. Showerheads & shower rods should be cleaned/replaced. Bed pillows (dirty & possible bloodstains?) should be checked/replaced. If dirty, a zippered cover would be all that’s needed but bloodstained should be replaced. (Thankfully we had brought our own pillows & linens) Mold by entry door was very concerning & lights/bulbs should be checked for working order. Beach items were in an huge jumbled, random pile in the closet. Outdoor shower head was wrapped (in a fabric bag?) so we didn’t use it! We loved the easy public beach access! Also the pool/pool area was very clean/well kept with many clean chairs/chaises & it’s an awesome plus for this property. Overall a nice experience for our sisters’ trip, but I gave it only 4 stars bc we were disappointed with the above mentioned cleanliness. I would totally rent this property again if these issues were addressed.

About the host

Host profile image
We are life long residents of North Carolina and love the beach. We especially love spending time with family and friends here. We are happy to share our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

Surf City is the perfect beach. It has it all without being commercialized. We love the small town feel and being able to walk the beach without fighting crowds. This town house is so perfect for our family with the beach, the pool and the playground right next door. It is so much fun while being perfectly relaxing at the same time.
