Absolute Gem - Best North Topsail Rental

We have used Vrbo since it was launched, and this property absolutely nailed it. The checkin was easy, hosts were super fast to respond, property was clean and in great condition, and the views were amazing. We typically judge vacation rentals on cleanliness, the hosts, the beds, and relaxation vibes. We were able to enjoy full vacation mode and enjoy our time off. WiFi was fast and the signal was great throughout the home for weekday work. Appliances seemed almost brand new. Beds were very comfortable (our biggest gripe with many rentals). The decks were amazing. The pictures do not do them justice. We didn’t want to leave, and we will be regulars from now on. Thanks for the great memories!

Breathtaking Location

The house was perfect for our stay. It's located on a quieter section of beach. We could watch sunsets rise over the ocean in the morning and then set over the intercoastal in the evening from the rooftop deck. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped.

Family Time

This is a lovely home, plenty of room and the beach just outside the door. We would love to go back this year. Everyone had plenty of private time if they wanted, and lots of family. Thank you for renting to us, the kids and grandkids are still talking about it.Karen and Ed Satterfield

5 Stars at the Stars

We have been coming to Topsail Island since 2014 , this is our 6th visit and hands down this was the best rental we have ever had...house was very up to date and the rooftop deck was excellent with new furniture and decking.. They advertised starter supplies and they meant it, unlike all the other properties that we habe rented.. The owners are very kind and quick to respond if needed..theirs sons stopped by too see if we needed anything AND gave our kids tips on how and what to fish for.. Easily, the rent rate an 11 out of 10!!!!

Sisters Weekend

Really enjoyed one long weekend. My only complaint is the number of stairs my 73 year old arthritic body had to endure. Other than that, we had everything we needed and the view from the three decks was spectacular.

Right on the Beach!!

God’s Grace is perfect if you are looking to be right on the beach. We had a wonderful stay. The owner went out of her way to accommodate our last minute reservation getting us into a rental a night early. We will be back if life takes us to Topsail again!

Great property and location!

Everything was as it was portrayed in the listing. Very nicely updated home and very comfortable. We love that section of North Topsail Beach and have vacationed there every year for 18 years. This was easily one of our favorite beach houses we’ve stayed in. Our family enjoyed the house and had a great stay!

Great December get-away

We enjoyed five days at the beach in late December. The weather was wonderful - sunny and warmer than we expected. The property was as described - clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. It was a plus being able to include our dog in the stay - she loved the beach as well. The decks were gated which made it very easy to enjoy visiting outdoors with the dog as well. Communicating with Amy was easy and she was very responsive to our needs. Thank you!

Beautiful duplex with beautiful views!

This place was beautiful! Highly recommend. Great location. Views as advertised. Very clean, well appointed and lots of space. Just be mindful that my partner and I are 60+ and in pretty good shape otherwise the stairs would have been a deterrent. Also the neighbors on the other side of the duplex were pleasant and quiet which helped as well. I can see how a large family would really love staying there.
