Great family vacation!

This property lived up to our hopes in everyway. The house is spacious and accommodating. We are an outdoors type family and this house had a lot to keep us busy right outside the door. The views are amazing and relaxing. You will take pictures every evening of the sunset reflecting off the clouds and the sound. The house offers plenty of living space. We are a family of seven and we ate dinner at the large table overlooking the sound almost every night. Well stocked kitchen made meals easy, even for our size family. Bedrooms are large and plenty of bathrooms. Wrap around decks and wired audio speakers made late evening conversations and cocktails a quick routine. We spent our days on the North end of Topsail where we drove out on the beach and setup for the day. Went deep sea fishing one day and fished off the dock behind the house everyday. Couple of us tried to walk across the sound and got hung up in oyster beds about half way across and turned around. It got messy, real messy.. It was a vacation we wanted and needed. Lots of memories, laughs and pictures. When we stay at Topsail again we will contact Robert first to see if the house is available.

As Promised

This property is in an HOA good and bad. I liked the reduced traffic and neighborhood felling. I did not like that one neighbor seem a bit nosey. I stayed with my adult children, ten on us in total. The house was plenty big enough for us all and we all had a great time. This said only 2 of the bedrooms are great for adults. This was NOT misrepresent by Robert or in the listing just keep in mind. This was truly a great vacation. I had some concerns about not staying right on the beach like we normally do. This was defiantly not a problem. The 3 sided deck gives great views of the ocean and intercoastal. The deck has both covered and open areas with a great breeze always just around the corner. I spent afternoons on the front deck in 90 degree temps. with the breeze it truly felt very comfortable. The kids had a great time fishing of the dock, and cough a lot of fish and a few stingrays. The water is very shallow only a few feet deep. The walk to the beach is very short. The last beach restoration was done very well. The beach was the best it has been in any of our visits to Top Sail.

Wonderful 2nd Trip

We had a wonderful time for a week down at this house. The house is incredibly well appointed and the layout suits families who want to be together but have separate time at the same time. The dock is fantastic. The sound allows for kids to have safe water play. Fishing was fun although I think it was a little warm for crabbing. We caught plenty of fish to keep the family happy. The neighborhood is lovely and that is a short walk to the beach which is not very crowded. We will be back next year!

Fishing For Days

Great house with spectacular views no matter which direction you look. Our boys basically stayed on the dock fishing the entire time. They caught red drum, black drum, flounder, crab, shrimp and even a sting ray. Beds were comfy and amenities were good. My only suggestion would be to have the beds already made for incoming guests. Making beds for each of us after traveling most of the day was not what I had imagined I'd be doing. All that being said, we'd stay at this home again & again.

Great Family Vacation!

This was our first trip to Topsail and we could not have picked a better place to stay. The house was beautifully decorated, spacious and had all of the amenities that our family needed. We enjoyed fishing off the pier and spent our days on the beach which was a short 5 minute walk. The views from the decks were wonderful! I highly recommend this property and would certainly stay here again the next time we travel to Topsail!

First time visiting Topsail.

We were very happy with our stay. The house was well cared for and very clean. My sons enjoyed fishing and crabbing from the large dock. The beach was a short 5 minute walk from the house. The beach was wonderful and not very crowded. Definitely 5 stars

A lovely week

Beautiful home in a lovely setting - made for a perfect retreat. We enjoyed fishing and crabbing on the dock, even caught our own live bait using a catch net! Short walk to the beach where we were nicely spread out (it's not a busy area) and found lots of shells and shark teeth! Robert, the owner, is very attentive and responsive, as are the property managers. Yes, a lot of steps, so be aware. Overall, a great time in a great location!

Beautiful property

We loved the house and the property. We biked all over the island and thought that the development the house was located in was the best of any others we saw...including oceanfront locations. Regardless of the hot weather, we could always find a breezy spot on the main level porch. Would recommend bringing some non stick pans for cooking (perhaps previous guests have been a bit aggressive in cooking?) and eye masks if sleeping in the queen bedroom as there is an automatic light for stairwell safety outside the room.

Lovely home in quiet neighbourhood

We very much enjoyed our stay. The property is well maintained and only 7 mins walk to the beach access which is just across the street from Osprey community. If you drive, don’t park on the concrete slab on the left hand side of the street as you’ll get a citation. We had ample room to spread out and certainly got our workout in with the many stairs! Being able to fish and crab from the dock was wonderful. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Location - Beach & Water Sports

Our two families enjoyed a fantastic week at the perfectly designed, ideally located vacation house. We made great use of the dock for fishing, crabbing, kayaking, and paddle-boarding, while the beach is just a short walk away. The beach access is perfect as it's just far enough away from the crowds that you have plenty of elbow room. We cooked all of our meals in the house during the week, and the kitchen met our needs. The views of both the sound-side and beach-side were absolutely amazing, especially at sunrise and sunset. Robert was very timely in his communication and addressed any questions we had promptly. Highly recommended!

Hurricane Dorian shortened vacation!

Amazing Home! My family and I have Vacationed all over the N.C. coast for the last 25 years. We have never had a better experience. We are so looking to return in October. We were there the week of Hurricane Dorian, so it was a very short stay. The home owner is probably a one of a kind, he cares very much about how you enjoy his house. The location is awesome as you have room to spread out and relax. Access to the dock and being able to have your boat tied up is very very accommodating. the fishing is great. The home its self is awesome, it has everything you need . I felt like I was at home. Robert I would like to truly thank you for sharing your home with my family and me. We look forward to returning again and again.

Great family week

This house was perfect for our family of 4 and our parents with plenty of room and very nicely appointed. The bedrooms all worked out great for us and the included linens were comfortable. We cooked almost all meals in the house and the kitchen had almost all we needed. The view is amazing and one of the main reasons for the rental, it did not disappoint. The crow's nest is quite an experience and got a lot of use. The dock out back had plenty of crabs and mullets to keep the kids busy and we were able to rent a boat for the week that tied up nicely at the dock. Although we did not have any issues during the week, Robert checked in with us anyway and we felt he was available if needed. Thanks for the wonderful experience and I hope we'll be back soon.

About the host

Hosted by Rob Harris

Host profile image
We are a family of five that enjoy spending time on the beach, clamming, fishing, strolling, or just relaxing.

Why they chose this property

I visited North Topsail in 2003 and knew this was a special place. Crabbing off the dock or shell collecting, it just does not get any better. The area is not over developed and has a laid back feel to it.

What makes this property unique

Osprey has an abundance of widlife, views and is uncrowded.
