Time away for healing from helene

The house was great had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We did some fishing off the dock caught several small fish. We were close to the beach to go shelling and watch the sunrise. We would definitely rent this house again. The bicycles and kayaks were a plus.

Great location and property

This was our second stay at the property and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. The view of the sun set was lovely and the short walk to the beach was relaxing. We are looking forward to return again.

House was extremely nice and clean, we will probably stay again.

I was a little disappointed that the house was in North Topsail and not South, but the pier and house were great. Fishing was not the best, but the weather was extremely nice and house is convenient to restaurants and stores.

Overall really good vacation

The property is in a really great spot that is close to just about everything topsail has to offer. The house itself is in a really great spot, right on the water which made it really convenient for my family to pick us up right from the dock on their boat. The house was really clean and the check in/ check out process was extremely easy. The binder that was put on the counter had all of the information that we needed to include, local restaurants, attractions, ect. The only downside is that we couldn’t stay longer!

Wonderful visit!

We had a great visit to this beautiful home! Gorgeous sunsets, views of the sound, kayaking everyday and easy access to a beautiful beach! The home was clean, very comfortable beds, well stocked and the owners are so thoughtful and responsive. Also lots of decks and porches to enjoy being outside. Obviously we were not ready to leave this great place. Enjoy!

Lovely Stay at Fox and the Sound!

This is our second stay here in the past year and likely won't be out last! The unique home is perfect for both families and friends. The weather wasn't perfect during our most recent visit, but the home was the perfect place to relax and unwind. During our less-wndy days we enjoyed the kayaks, making it to Permuda nature reserve. Daily fishing off the dock/deck yielded a 24" red drum! The nearby beach access was pleasant with clean, stocked bathrooms. Overall a fantastic stay!

Beautiful Scenery, Excellent House

Gorgeous sunsets await you with a lot of wildlife to view on the sound. The perfect place of you want to enjoy outdoor adventures or simply to take in nature. We enjoyed fishing and kayaking as well as biking the nearby neighborhoods. Conveniently located to all nearby beaches and shops but also away from any busy traffic. The house is well laid out and appointed for our large family. Owner was communicative and available. Would highly recommend.

The most beautiful sunsets!!

This property is beautiful and close to beach, shops, etc. The layout of the house was perfect as our 4 kids stayed on the top floor and we stayed on the main floor. Very spacious, lots of tvs, fully equipped kitchen (but the garbage disposal was intermittent.) We loved the kayaks, being able to fish off our own dock, and the kids loved jumping off the dock into the water. We also loved the bicycles provided. The outside screened porch provided a peaceful respite for reading. The views of the sunsets every day were beautiful!!! Sallie was a responsive and communicative host. This was our second summer at the house and we plan to return next summer!

Perfectly spot for our family

The property was great. Amazing view of the sound (bring your binoculars for bird viewing), we loved using the Kayaks and Bicycles. Every morning enjoyed coffee on the third floor porch. The property was exactly as described in the listing. Zero complaints. Sallie was an outstanding host with prompt communication. She provided personalized touches for our visit and suggested for activities for us during our stay. We hope to return again.

Serene Spot, spacious home.

The location of this property is quiet and the view was beautiful! We enjoyed watching the sunset from the back deck and even saw a dolphin one evening. The location is close enough to the beach to walk if you don’t have much to haul. We also found various beach accesses with paid parking that were not far from the property. The bikes and kayaks were a nice bonus! We loved being right on the calm water and spent quite a bit of time kayaking and fishing right behind the rental. The property has been well maintained, was clean and the flooring on the main level is newly updated. We would highly recommend this property!

Great Spring Break trip

Perfect for our family. We enjoyed the bikes and kayaks. We tried to fish but no luck! We road bikes the short distance to the beach. Some bikes need a tune up but we were just thrilled to have the option to ride and not pay for parking. Beds were very comfortable. Loved bench seating in dining area for extra people. We got fish to cook from surf city crab market. The kitchen had everything we needed to serve a nice dinner. We also enjoyed the sunroom when it was too cold or raining outside. Kids enjoyed the foosball table. The house was very clean and met all our needs. A lot of the neighbors spoke to us and made us feel welcome. Loved how close the house is to restaurants and shopping. Easy to order takeout or get late night ice cream. The best thing is the sound views and sunsets every evening!

Just as described!!!!!

There were no surprises with this location!! The property has been renovated, with some updates & extremely comfortable! The layout is awkward, but manageable for our Family with young Boys. I could see that if you had multiple adults, the showering situation could be difficult. We found the upstairs shower to be too small for our comfort. This house is a great home-away-from-home even staying 2 weeks!!!! We rented a golf cart to go back and forth which for us, was a MUST!!! Id never walk with all our stuff to the beach...it was no manageable for us with all our stuff! (ha!) Sallie (Host) was amazing!!!
