Perfect for a great family getaway to the beach. Kid friendly, pet friendly and everything you need for a successful trip. Felt like home away from home and the decor was thoughtful without being gaudy and over the top beachy.
The house was exactly as the listing posted. The beach is so close to the house, literally feet away. We heard the waves all night! A very nice place we hope to visit again!
Absolutely perfect home. Very clean, spacious and well equipped! We sat on the porch for our morning coffee and watched the dolphins swim by. The kids had a blast. We extended an extra night and even then we didnât want to leave!! You wonât be disappointed here folks! Book it, make memories:-)
Did he location of the property related to the beach was awesome. Just steps from the back door to the beach. House needed some maintenance. Outside bushes near the entrance from the road need trimmed back. It was clean and well equipped.
The beauty of this house is that it is steps to the sand and perfect for families with children. My grandchildren just ran and ran on the wonderful beach and in the surf. The sand is perfect for making sand castles! The view of the water from the deck and three of the bedrooms is spectacular. The house is very easy with a well appointed and equipped kitchen. We had six adults and two children and there was plenty of room.
Thanks Megan for all your help with our booking, we would definitely stay here again.
This house was in a good location. The only thing to be super mindful of is itâs a duplex, with shared gate deck. So if youâre looking for super private this isnât your place. They allow dogs which is great but we did stress a lot about dog hair(which we are infused with always!). Dogs are asked to be crated and not allowed anywhere but hardwoods, which is a lot of work. Other than that it was great.
House - 2nd story, door handles broken, neither door could be locked.
Outdoor furniture needs to be equal, house instruction should be in plane site, not on side of fridge where you never see them. Everything else was good
Owner was very communicative and responsive. The location was excellent. 5BR and 3 BA was plenty of room for our 9. Right on the gorgeous beach! Property is nice but definitely showing its age. Rust on the doors and A/C unit with mold on several vents. Floors were clearly not cleaned. Short on towels but owner had 8 more delivered same day. It was quite warm upon arrival but owner had A/C repairman out to fix the same day. TVs everywhere with firesticks. Some of the fixtures were coming out of the walls (towel racks, tp holders, etc.) Kitchen was well stocked. It was mostly nice but we ended up leaving Wed. instead of Saturday.
First time at Top Sail beach and this vacation home was the best vacation home we've ever stay in!! It was very clean and literally steps to the beach! Plenty of room for our group of 17. The only thing I would say is that a few kitchen items could use an upgrade, especially the toaster. But we would most definitely stay here again! The property manager was wonderful and very easy to communicate with. Overall this was our most favorite vacation home ever!!
We had a wonderful stay at Dolphin Daze. The home is well equipped, spacious, centrally located, and on a beautiful beach. The kids loved the bunk room upstairs. It was our first time staying in a duplex, but the neighbors were friendly and we had no problems. I would stay here again or recommend it to friends.
If your looking for beachfront canât beat the location, however serious maintenance issues, rotten and uneven decking kids got slivers, missing and loose railings, water gets in under door seal during heavy rain, missing pieces of siding, exposed electrical/junction box dangling through rotten soffit, outside shower dripping continuously due broken valve, worst exterior of any house in area, interior acceptable .
The house had everything you could need and more. There are three decks overlooking the ocean, room to spread out and in a great location on the beach.
Good but our trip was marred by an electrical problem that took three days and two different people to correct it. It meant having maintenance people in the home with us for part of the first three days. There were no lights in the kitchen and the outside security light at the top of the stairs was not working creating a safety hazard while trying to navigate the steps. Interrupting our vacation and not have full, uninterrupted use of the home was not what we expected or wanted. Some reduction in the amount we paid would be fair considering the inconvenience and full loss of use.
The view was absolutely amazing. We saw lots of dolphins in the morning and beautiful sunrises. The owner was great with corresponding quickly to my questions. One suggestion is to replace the deck boards as they are dried out and a trip hazard. I would get the windows checked out also and suggest updating the tile floors. I do think the price was a little too much for the property.
Wow! All I can say is that this house is located RIGHT on the ocean, and the house itself is beautifully decorated. light and bright. Christiana was really easy to contact if we had questions and she helped with all our needs. Hope we didn't bother her too much! We'll be back next year! Highly recommend!
Wonderful home right on the beach. We spent a week in October here and the weather was fabulous. The home is furnished as advertised and the Owner (Christiana) is super responsive. We've spent many weeks at Topsail over the years. This week - in this house - was the best so far.
Home is comfortable. The deck has lots of seating, a gorgeous view, and a shower. Having a great beach as your backyard makes for easy entertainment. Seventeen of us, ages 78-5, had plenty of room. Kitchen is roomy with plenty of amenities. Appliances seemed to be new. An air conditioning issue was dealt with immediately. This was our family's second time spending a week at this house, and all agree it was the best family trip ever.
Our group of 13 had plenty of room to spread out, and everyone had a wonderful time! The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Weâre looking forward to staying here next year when we make this trip again!
Hi! My name is Christiana, and this is my familyâs property. Our family has literally laid tiles and installed vanities, painted the walls, and spared no expense to make sure this home provides a safe, clean environment for all of our guests!
We love Topsail Island. We purchased this house because Topsail provides a quiet and family oriented get away. The beaches are gorgeous, and not overly crowded. Also, incredible golfing just a few miles away!!
