Awesome Christmas vacation!

The property was incredible. It had everything we needed and the location was perfect to get to where we wanted to go. Our host, Michelle, was incredible. She had great recommendations for us on activities and places to eat. Our son and daughter enjoyed playing on the beach with all the toys provided. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Will definitely be coming back!

Could not have been better

This was my first time using VRBO. The property was even better than described. Every thing that you could possibly think that you might need was provided for you. Our host was as friendly and accommodating as anyone could possibly be. Every concern of question we had prior to coming she very quick to respond, and help us every step of the way with all our needs. We would highly recommend anyone to stay in this beautiful, oceanfront condo. This was a celebration of my wife’s birthday, and I know it’s one she will never forget. Thank you thank you thank you to our host.

Amazing Vacation

Michelle's property was probably one of the best places we have ever stayed. The house is well maintained and was very clean when we arrived. The location was perfect. We could walk out from the bedrooms onto the deck and head right down to the beach. When it was time to go grocery shopping, go to a restaurant or find an activity nothing was more than 15 minutes from the house and everything was easily accessible. We spent most of our days lounging on the beach and the evenings we were out walking the beach and looking for ghost crabs and then sat on the top deck listening to the waves on the beach. We even got to enjoy some cool lightning storms over the ocean. Michelle was a great host and was so kind and quick to respond to any questions that we had and offered some great advice for things to do in the area.

Relaxing on the Beach

We had a fabulous week- watching the sun rise, playing in the ocean, and lounging on the beach. It was so nice to be right on the beach. It afforded each of us the luxury of taking breaks indoors and stepping out on the beach any time of the day. Falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing was heaven.

Perfect family getaway

We loved being on the sand with the ease of coming and going to the beach throughout the day with young kids. The house was very clean, host was excellent at communicating information, and the location doesn’t get any better. The views from the upper balcony never got old. We enjoyed many meals on the deck and soaked up every last bit of the ocean view and sounds of the waves. Would definitely go back with our family!

Wonderful girls weekend

I spent the weekend here with my teenage daughter, 2 of her friends and another mom. We had the best time! It was perfect for our group with each adult getting her own ocean view room and the kids all sharing the third room. The views and location were excellent and the house was beautiful. It had everything we needed to enjoy a weekend at the beach and I would definitely love to stay here again someday.

Would love to duplicate this property and take it with me whenever I vacation

Awesome property! Everything we needed to have an amazing time. Right on the beach with hot and cold water outside to wash the sand off before going back inside. Fully equipped kitchen to eat in if you’d like. Close to many restaurants to eat out. Comfortable and relaxing. Nice hearing the ocean waves even from inside. Michelle, is prompt, personal and professional. We would love to take this property and it’s contents with us on all of our vacations. All pros, no cons for us. Simply a great vacation! The next time we go to the beach, this is where we are going. Our beach destination from now on. So glad the place we usually stay at in this area was not available this week, this time. Thank you so much Michelle for opening your home to us!

Perfect Holiday Getaway

My husband and I needed a rental over the holidays that was close to my family in Hampstead, but also felt like a vacation destination. This beach house was perfect! It is steps from the ocean, with a beautiful deck. We drank our coffee and watched the dolphins every morning! The host, Michelle, was so accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The house was so inviting, clean, and the decor was beachy. There were even some Christmas decorations for our stay! The house has everything you need - plenty of dishes, linens, TVs in every room, a washer an dryer. Upon our arrival, Michelle even provided a cute toy for our pup - which he loved! We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back often!

About the host

Why they chose this property

Topsail Island is a hidden gem along North Carolina’s scenic shoreline, offering a tranquil oasis of natural splendor and calm. Here are some fantastic reasons why I love living here:

Less Crowded Beaches: Even during the busy season, Topsail Island remains blissfully uncrowded compared to most other beaches. You won’t find yourself jostling for a spot on the sand or dealing with traffic congestion. It’s a peaceful escape where you can truly relax and enjoy the serenity.

Pristine Beaches: Topsail Island boasts some of the most beautiful and least crowded beaches in North Carolina. Whether you’re beachcombing, sunbathing, or taking long walks, the natural beauty of the coastline is captivating.

Sea Turtle Conservation: Topsail Island is a nesting ground for sea turtles, including loggerheads and green sea turtles. Witnessing a sea turtle nest or hatchling release is a memorable experience.

Dazzling Sunsets: The sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean are breathtaking. Grab a beach chair, watch the sky transform, and feel the stress melt away.

Fresh Seafood: Indulge in delicious seafood caught locally. From shrimp to flounder, the culinary scene celebrates the ocean’s bounty.

Water Activities: Whether you’re kayaking, paddleboarding, or fishing, the island’s waterways provide endless opportunities for adventure.

Relaxation and Rejuvenation: Topsail Island’s laid-back atmosphere invites you to unwind, recharge, and create lasting memories with loved ones.

Unique History: Unlike many beach destinations, Topsail Island wasn’t originally designed for vacationers. In the 1600s and 1700s, it served as a hiding spot for pirates, including the infamous Blackbeard. Local legend even suggests that Blackbeard buried gold treasure here!
