We have been to many NC & SC beaches over the years and stayed at many properties. Turning the corner to this property, we immediately felt at home. This was the best stay we have ever had! Clean, delightful beach cottage style with plenty of outdoor living (3 areas -- all clean & usable!), much space for us inside, so clean that even the storage room downstairs was clean, swept & orderly with many beach items available for use! The kitchen was so well stocked with cute dishes and helpful utensils that it was a joy to cook in! And the best part... views of the sound and slight views of the ocean from every room. Because of the amount of windows, the whole place felt light and airy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Topsail Beach at Surf City is beautiful with blue-green water and rolling waves. The walk to the beach access and the beach itself is minimal. The neighborhood this house is located in is quaint and quiet but not far from anything. The only reason I want to keep this is a secret is so that it will be available next time we want to rent!!! Highly recommended!!
