Fabulous time!

This condo is amazing. It's better than the photos. The house was clean when we arrived. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions even on a holiday. I would suggest quests be prepared to bring ALL your paper products and condiments. Overall, my family enjoyed the house tremendously. We enjoyed the pool, the beach, and grilling out in the evening.

Perfect place for a family vacation. The condo is spotless and comfortable. The decor is simple, which works well for our kids, nothing fragile or risky to hide away. This particular condo is only one flight of stairs from the parking lot and there is an elevator nearby. There are ramps from this level down to both the beach and pool. Bring your own beach supplies. There is space to leave them just outside the front door.

Family vacation

Great location on the beach with pool. The sliding door was not usable during our stay so limited outdoor patio time. Could use some updating in kitchen with appliances and kitchenware. Needs newer patio furniture. No outdoor beach chairs or umbrella included but can be rented for a hefty price.

Family vacation

This was a perfect place for a family beach vacation for my son, his wife, their two daughters (ages almost 4 and 6 months), and my husband and me. They had their own bedroom and bathroom with plenty of space for the 4 of them, and my husband and I had our own space and bathroom. There was plenty of space for all of us in the living and dining areas. It was a very short walk to the beach and the swimming pool (my 4 year old granddaughter LOVED the pool). The sheets and towels provided as part of the rental were VERY much appreciated, since we are all home now and don't have that laundry to do.

Nice location but needs some updating

The location was perfect. Size of the unit was great and clean. The kitchen was almost impossible to use super outdated, very limited supplies and the dishes were dirty. The patio had no furniture and was dirty. Easy fixes to make this place much nicer.

Great Place for Peace & Quiet

N Topsail is not the place to be if you are looking for lots of places nearby to do stuff. (Getting food at night was a challenge.) But if you want a quiet beach spot it fits the bill. The condo was great. The kitchen had everything needed to cook a meal. The cabinets could use an upgrade (paint?) but at the end of the day, I wasn’t there for the kitchen. The unit was clean, comfortable and the view was awesome.

Nice condo and quiet complex

The condo was really nice and comfortable. It’s on the first floor so not much of an ocean view due to the sand bank but you could hear it and smell it and it was a short walk to beach. We stayed Memorial Day weekend and still the beach wasn’t over crowded. Really nice beach and pool. We couldn’t find the pool fob and had to message the manager to buzz us in the pool but she responded quickly. The parking lot did get full a couple times and we had to do rounds to find a spot. Beds were comfortable and condo was very clean. Really nice water pressure in the showers, was quiet and relaxing stay. Kitchen was well stocked with pans and utensils too.

Needs a deep cleaning

Condo was very roomy. I could feel the sand on the floors when I walked in. Bought a new air exchange filter size 20x16x1 because the filter was filthy and the air vents had dust hanging on them and the ceiling fan in the master bedroom had a very noticeable dust ring around the edges. Saw a live roach in the master bath shower. The ring camera at the door made us feel like we were being watched.

Watch out

Ok location, the unit was ok. As others have said, the balcony has a week spot it. If you stay here be careful. The owner looks for ways to take your money. We arrived early, we knew it was before the check in time, but we decided to check the room. No one was there, and it looked clean. We decided to change clothes and hit the beach. We may have been in the room 5 minutes. When we got home I received a email from the owner. He had charged me 50 dollars for arriving early. He saw it on the security camera. There was no harm done, we spoke to the cleaning people who arrived as we were leaving.

Save yourself the trouble. Stay elsewhere.

Topsail Island beach was very nice. We really enjoyed the area. The condo was ok. Definitely lacking in cleanliness. There was old tea in the kettle in the cabinet, peanut shells and other debris in the couches. The shower in the master was broken. The pool was closed but we knew that due to covid. We made the property owner aware of all issues ASAP. Since the pool was not open we did not look for a pool fob. This property owner decided to claim we lost the fob (for a pool that was not open at any point during our entire stay). Not only did he try to claim a $75 loss for the pool fob though the property damage we purchased but he also thought he should try to scam me out of $75 as well. We travel a ton. We love the beach and are respectful of the properties in which we stay. This in unbelievable to me. Not only was the condo not up to par but Chris thinks we owe him even more money. We will visit Topsail Island again but would not recommend this condo to anyone.
