Absolutely perfect!! From the beautiful sunrise to the spare flashlights for night time crabbin the host has everything you need to have a great time and was an absolute pleasure to deal with! We will definitely be back! This is the perfect vacation spot !
Great stay overall! Plenty of space for the family and the beach was just steps away. A few updates and better housekeeping would make it even better (there was sooooo much sand on the beds and couches when we first got there).
The property was exactly as advertised, and exceeded our expectations. 45 steps to the beach was no exaggeration, which made multiple trips out to the beach each day a breeze. With both sliding glass doors facing directly at the beach, morning sunrises were incredible. This wasnât our first visit to Topsail, and weâll definitely be back. When people would say âWeâre going to the beach for July 4thâ, I would cringe at the thought of packed beaches, endless traffic, and people partying on the beach. Not this spot⊠quaint, not commercialized, and oh, what bliss!
This unit has a great location right on the beach. Beautiful sunrises! Nice clean, easy check in, check out, close parking. The only down side was the complex needs to have some beach renourishment done so high tide doesn't inundate the property. The large sandbags make the beach view sad.
The host was responsive to my messages and check in was seemless. The apartment was reasonably clean. However we do have some notes that might improve the guest experience.
1. Listing says it is 45 steps from the beach. Beach access was indeed very close and convenientâŠbut only at low tide. Stairs to the beach were inaccessible during high tide. We had to walk down to the public access half the time. This is not what we had in mind for our senior grandparent.
2. There was no bath mat. This was a slip and fall hazard for all of us but particularly for said senior who was with us.
3. Toilet paper was listed in the amenities but when I contacted the host saying we were out, we were told that guests buy their own. We ran out of the one roll that was there upon arrival within the first day.
4. Listing claimed beds for 6. One Queen and two twins, each with a trundle. However, the room that the twin beds were in was so small that the trundles only pulled out halfway each. that would not of accommodated six adult size people. The beds were also very uncomfortable.
5. I would also recommend that they would be a good supply of paper towels and trash bags. We ended up purchasing more of these as well. I also Think that measuring cups would be a useful addition to the kitchen.
This VRBO was excellent in proximity to the beach. The owner was the best at communicating and answering questions. We were shocked that during high tide the bottom several beach access stairs are underwater (we just used the public access a few doors down when that happened). Thank you so much for an enjoyable stop.
This stay turned out to be what my family needed and more. It has become one of our top favorites. Only concern was that the AC unit in the master bedroom didn't cool off the room like the others. That was a small thing compared to the rest of the stay.
We had a beautiful stay. The only thing that was a bit frustrating, was that the stairs to the beach get covered during high tide. Not a huge deal as there is a public access down the road a bit and during low tide they are available. The home itself suited us well and had everything we needed.
Weâve stayed at the Reefs for almost 10 years of summer beach trips and this condo is by far my favorite! You can watch the sun rise over the ocean without even getting out of bed! Itâs like youâre sleeping on the beach! Kitchen was fully stocked which is great because we end up cooking a lot. Living room was comfortable and allowed for plenty of space for our large group! Canât wait to book again next year!
