The Scooby Shack was perfect for our stay of 2 people. We were at N.Topsail for a weekend wedding which happened to be across the street. Updated features and very comfortable bed made our stay complete. Our host Tara was very responsive with any questions we had. We would love to book again during the warmer months!

We had a great time during our vacation at the Scooby Shack! It was our first time bringing our pups to the beach and it was the perfect place. The convenience of the outdoor shower (especially with dogs) was unmatched and the water pressure throughout the home was excellent. We loved that there was a gate to keep our dogs on the back deck as well. Great location and neighborhood!

The Scooby Shack is a wonderful little retreat. The amenities are perfect and the location is fabulous. We wanted a quiet relaxing beach vacation and we got just that. The neighbors are all respectful and even the fire department is quiet! The home provides everything a small family or group needs for an extended vacation. We spent 9 wonderful days here and will come back! The home owner is very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend this as a vacay destination.

Beautifully decorated, close to the beach, and clean!

The unit was exactly as described. We really enjoyed our visit. The location is a short drive from the restaurants/shops in Surf City. We were a little confused on how to access the beach, but the path is right across the street and closer than we originally thought. All in all a great property and visit.

Good location and wonderful host.

We had a wonderful time at the Scooby Shack. Easy check in and check out. Easy access to the beach and just a short drive to dining, entertainment and grocery store. One item I’d note if you are traveling with adults is the bunk beds are tight for tall adults. Lovely place. Thanks Tara!

Weekend Getaway!

My daughter and I have been coming to Topsail for years, but our stay at the Scooby Shack was more than amazing! We wanted a weekend getaway with our dog, and this was definitely the best spot. The property was spotless, and was a short walk from the beach. This place is so cute and we felt like we were at home! There is a front and back porch that is perfect to enjoy a snack or takeout dinner. We definitely will be coming back to stay here!

Spring 2023 get away

Property was spotless. Out of all the properties that we've stayed in, this was by far the cleanest and nicest, best appointed beach property we have ever rented. Great location easy to access. Very quiet and neighbors were friendly. Hopefully we will rent again this fall.
