Great value steps from the beach

Property was just as described and just steps from the beach access. While we've stayed at fancier homes on the island, this property was clean, convenient, and a great value.

Great stay….cozy little beach house.

Location was awesome! Didn’t mind the short walk to the beach. House was exactly as pictured. Comfy beds, had everything we needed. If we had one complaint, it would be that there’s not full cable TV. But definitely not a deal breaker for us. We would stay at ‘lil orphan Annie’s again.

N Topsail Vacay

The house was perfect for our beach vacation. The owner was super responsive to all of my questions. I loved not having to worry about house keys and being so close to the beach. The outside shower was convenient for keeping sand out of the house. Thank you!

Perfectly fine.

At check in we found the hvac was not working and lights were all off so the house was cold and dark, not a great first impression. The owner was quick to respond and offered the neighboring duplex. The property location and size are great. The furnishings are fine, the bed was comfortable. Overall, the property is as advertised but could use some refreshing. The door locks worked intermittently (low/dead battery on keypads and typical beach corrosion made the keys stick), floors needed to be swept better, a few burned out light bulbs, no cutting board (made meal prep hard). We didn't alert the owner to the minor issues as it was Thanksgiving and we didn't expect anything to be done but I'm sure the owner would have responded appropriately had we alerted them. Overall, everything was fine but with the cost of the cleaning fee plus non refundable pet fee I guess we expected a little more.

Orphan Annie was the best!

This was a trip for us to see family in Wilmington, birthday for grandson and beach time with cousins. It was perfect especially when we learned we could drive out on the beach. My husband is handicapped and that was such a great place for him. We loved our time at Orphan Annie!!!

3 kids under 5 and a dog, so nice

Our family stayed a weekend and settled in easily. Property was clean, stocked with essentials, comfortable linens, in a quiet area and easy for our family. Beach access is so close. We really appreciated the property accommodating a dog, especially one that is still clean and doesn’t smell like a dog. The backyard is no longer fenced in however, but the neighborhood is quieter so walking a dog along the road isn’t risky. Another nice touch was the drawer of kids books. The place was well decorated. Again, this property was an ideal find for our family.

Chris is from Colorado and moved to North Carolina not long ago. I feel in love with the area and so thankfully to call this area home. Growing up I played with horses and did anything outside.

My husband and I have worked very hard to have a little piece of paradise. Which we are glad to share with you. We have two young adventurous boys who love the outdoor life as much as we do.

We hope you find out little getaway as enjoyable as we do.
