Passively maintained

Dishwasher did not work, and apparently has not worked for several weeks. Gave property manager list of items on Sunday morning: dishwasher, kitchen faucet broken, broken coffee pot, vines covering steps and path to beach, one remote chewed up by dog, and one remote taped together with no batteries. Got excuses re understaffing and no proactive communication re response time. Jimmy came late afternoon on Tuesday and repaired what he could. Jimmy was good. Dishwasher repairmen came on Wednesday afternoon and, after saying they needed to troubleshoot issue and would be back in, disappeared. Obviously owner and property manager are only responding to issues raised by renters and only doing minimal work. Another renter told us they stayed here in 2023 and had no AC for 5 days. Most poorly maintained home in our 20 years of vacationing on Topsail.

Not super clean

Great location. Lots of inconvenient rules, such as early checkout (10). Payed for cleaning services but had to have every dish clean and put away and strip the beds- never had to do that before. Kitchen/ cookware need good cleaning.

Cool but nice

We had fun. A bit cool at this time of year (Oct), but nice anyway. Good eating nearby. The bridge is short and quick, compared to other out-islands.
