The location was perfect and house was exactly as pictured. The living area was very open and spacious and house had a great layout. Check-in was very easy and we will certainly be visiting again!
Julieâs cottage is wonderful, nested in the oaks and in a perfect location. Her property feels like a home. It is clean and has all you need. The kitchen has quality cookware. Best treat is Scoops in Topsail Beach! Looking forward to next year.
We had a wonderful time. The home is located in a great neighborhood. It is very secluded however is close to everything. We had a great time cycling, kayaking and relaxing.
Very nice owners that communicate well if there are any issues. We really enjoyed every second here. Me, my mom, 11 yr old son & our 2 Goldendoodles love this place!!!
We love this place! Cozy, comfortable, a relaxing respite from the busy world. Access to the ocean and the sound canât be beat. Cottage is sparkling clean and has the most amazing screened porch up among the beautiful live oak tree branches.
We really enjoyed the privacy of this property. Short walk to beach and lots of space! Very dog friendly and quiet neighborhood. Love the interesting oak trees everywhere..bed was very comfortable and full kitchen..thank you
We loved staying here in 2022 so much we booked a 2 week stay this year. This property fits our family of five's needs perfectly! Love the short walk to the beach and bay! Beautiful trees make it nice and shaded and feels like you are staying in a treehouse!
Property is located about 1/2 block from beach. Although at this time (Mar) the access was blocked due to some project on the beach, Property was comfortable, well lived in, does allow pets - so to be expected. Was surprised by last minute notification that I would need to bring towels and linens - or addâl charge. Owner was available by text - no issues with communication.
Our second time staying here. Julie is great. The house is in an ideal and quiet location. 2 rooms perfect for us and our little one. Planning to go back!
My husband and i own and operate a cabinetry business in Hampstead, NC. We have been in business since 1979. We have two wonderful sons-- both are working with us now. As a family we have always loved the beach and the outdoors in general. My husband taught the boys to fish as soon as they could get in a boat and so we were always at the beach or on the sound as they were growing up. My husband loves fishing and I love the beach so when we found the cottage and bought it-- it became our project together. As a family we have put in many hours working on remodeling and fixing up what was an old and tired place. Now it is a place where we enjoy spending time with friends and family. We have celebrated many milestones at the beach-- everything from a fabulous 70's themed b-day party to a 60th birthday gathering for my husband this past summer. All are wonderful memories. There just is no truer form of relaxation than time spent at the beach. We cherish our time here and always look forward to coming back.
We came across our home on the island by chance but immediately fell in love with the location. The old live oak trees, quaint street and closeness to both the ocean and the sound made this a one of a kind get away home. The house itself needed work so after purchasing it we remodeled the entire interior and continue to improve the exterior as we can. This cottage has the most peaceful and beautiful setting, it truly gives you that 'tree house' feel. We begin to relax the moment we step out of the car.
The house is situated right in the midst of a maritime forest. It is close to both the ocean and the sound. The beach is just 80 yards away down the lane. You do cross over the street to get to the beach access but it is a private access. The unique thing about the beach access is that there are no houses on the beach front right at our beach. This makes it less crowded and really quite private to our street. There is also a ramp to the sound at the other end of the street. This ramp is just right for a jet ski or a kayak. Our area is also perfect for walking or biking as there are sidewalks and bike lanes.
