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.

Happy as a Clam at High Water

We had a great time at Little Orphan Annie on North Topsail Beach. What a relaxing place! The deck was our favorite place to hangout when off the beach. The view and sounds of the ocean were just what we'd hoped for. Beach access was quite convenient and made trips back for drinks and snacks quick and easy. The North end of the island is very peaceful. We would definitely stay here 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!

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.

Peaceful retreat

We loved the location of Orphan Annie. The beach was so close, and was never crowded at all. The beds were comfortable and the house layout worked well for us. The outdoor shower came in very handy multiple times a day. The kitchen is small, but we didn’t have trouble cooking most of our meals for our family of 5 in it. We ate on the deck and it was perfect. The games and books were a thoughtful touch that we took advantage of. The ice maker in the fridge didn’t work and there was some lingering pet hair, but we know from experience that you can vacuum and clean and still find small hairs on things, so no big deal. This place had everything we needed to spend an enjoyable few days as a family at the beach!
