Had a great time

Clean, fully functional, and an epic view! Thank you for a lovely week in North Topsail Beach!!

My family absolutely loved this home. It was beautifully decorated with everything beach. It was so relaxing and comfortable. The beds felt brand new. The home was fully stocked with everything that you needed and then some. It was a super quick and easy walk to the beach. There is a walkway to get to the beach which takes about 30 seconds to get your feet into the sand. The beach and ocean were stunning. There was plenty of room for our family and had lots of space between other families. We got to see lizards crawling on the deck while we were sitting outside enjoying the amazing view and listening to the ocean waves. The home was very spacious and had room for everyone. There were books there to read on the beach and games or puzzles to play on a rainy day. It was very hard to leave this home. You can definitely tell the owners take great pride in this home. We will definitely be coming back to vacation in this home next year! We did have two issues while we were there, one was fixed. The toilet handle broke when it was flushed. We called Vacasa and they sent someone out that day. The other issue was the AC in the upstairs stopped cooling for the last 2 full days that we were there. The upstairs bedrooms was 82° which made it pretty unbearable to sleep especially when it was a real feel of 115° outside. We again called Vacasa and they said they would bring portable AC units over for the bedrooms because they couldn’t get anyone to come fix the AC until Sunday. When they came they were only able to hook up one unit in a bedroom because the primary bedroom and bathroom had windows that didn’t open. We feel that this was not handled appropriately and have reached out to Vacasa a few times but they continue to push us off. We feel Vacasa needs to do a better job when situations like this happen. We know things break but they should be more proactive in helping paying customers. Even though we had this issue, it does not in any way reflect the owners or take away from the beauty of this home and the lasting memories you will create.

Location and layout of the home

The location was fabulous. Wonderful ocean view and steps from the beach which even the week of July 4th was never crowded. Would book again!

The place was beautiful and it was very convenient to the ocean love the outside shower and back deck. However, it was a lot of stairs inside the house no elevator so it was difficult with children and it would be difficult with elderly.
