TB208C Bland's Landing

From the outside, Bland's Landing looks like it's seen better days. It is an older house, but that just means it has charm. On the inside, it lacks for nothing. It is lovely & updated and has everything you might need at the beach. The house was clean, kitchen is well stocked, the furniture is comfy & the outside area facing the sound is a wonderful place for the whole family to gather. Our family had a wonderful time. We can't wait to come back to Bland's Landing and create more memories!

This pet-friendly property is in a great location with it's own little beach and pier on the sound. These points were awesome. Be advised: It's a well-used property that shows the wear and tear. If you need a newer, cleaner experience this is NOT the place for you.

We have rented many houses on Topsail for 43+ years. We are familiar with the "family loved" houses. We should have listened to the previous negative reviews. This one should not be rented unless: exterior is is redone (rotten wood makes a bad first impression!), rugs need to be replaced (rugs are nasty dirty), furniture needs to be replaced (not just covered), kitchen chairs are dirty and have zero support, master mattress is very saggy, downstairs flooring is OLD OLD OLD, mismatched dining chairs are so uncomfortable, ceilings are stained and there are cobwebs in skylights. The a/c, that is controlled by the owner, should NOT be set on an energy-saving mode during a heat wave that automatically sets the house temp to 80° - esp. after we contacted Vacasa. Air filters are nasty dirty and should be replaced regularly. The upstairs is considerably hotter than downstairs. The erosion at the end of the dock is dangerous and needs to be repaired. We have rented wonderful homes through Vacasa. This is not one of them.

Room to spread out with grandkids and not be right up under each other. Children also love the sandy beach area at the sound and the walk to beach is easy for them. Has a welcoming "homey" feel.

We loved that all 10 of us could fit into this large house. The extra kitchen downstairs was great! My granddaughter had it all to herself to bake 6 delicious pies for Thanksgiving dinner (all crusts from scratch made w 8 sticks of butter!). Mostly we loved the dock and view of the sunset over the sound. We had beautiful weather. We were grateful for the fine access stairs to the beach directly across the street. We had wonderful walks on the beach. The pie baker and the weightlifter even dipped into the cold late fall surf! Thanks for sharing your wonderful house with our extended family of 10 plus 2 happy dogs!

We loved the location. The private beach area on the sound was fabulous. The upstairs was beautifully decorated. We loved the deck upstairs and downstairs. The downstairs could use some attention with cleaning and updating beds.
