Very nice place to stay

This is a well maintained property with all the necessary amenities. It is cozy and comfortable and the owners are down-to-earth, warm people. We wanted for nothing during our stay and the communication and instructions made arriving and leaving simple. Would highly recommend this house to anyone!

Clean with Helpful Hosts

This was a great house for our family but was clean with all the essentials available to us. We had a small issue arise with a mechanical problem and the host handled it quickly. Communication was prompt and friendly.

Large, clean, and quiet

Well appointed standalone house close enough to the intercoastal waterway to get a little ocean air when there is a breeze. The 3BR house is large and clean. Good WiFi, easy check in, and covered parking if needed. The water seems to be from a well, so bring bottled water if hard water bothers you. My sure to do a morning on the large porch, it’s nice.

Great location if you're bringing your boat. Hampstead traffic is horrible, so traveling Hwy 17 is strategic. Great house! Very roomy and the owners are very cordial and accomodating.

Great stay at the beach!

Home was extremely clean, comfy and not to far from the beach! Had all the basics that we needed for a long weekend there. Tammy was wonderful and called before hand to let us know to bring extra towels and some small issues she found at the house the day before (that didn't effect us at all and wouldn't have even noticed if she didn't mention it). Will definitely be saving this house for future stays!

Birdsong

Our family enjoyed the weekend away. Three bedrooms, two baths, large open kitchen. Large TV. Front porch. Friendly hostess and neighbor. My favorite spot in the morning was the front porch deck. So many birds were singing the sun up.

Family Trip

Great open layout in house. Twin bed is just a mattress against the wall, not on a frame. Needs some attention to cleaning. Need vacuumed under furniture, bed side tables dirty, shower shelves need cleaned, bathroom floor, dust the nick knacks and trim. Owners were nice.

Could have stayed for at least a week!

The pictures do not necessarily do justice for this property! It is a beautiful home in a quite neighborhood near the water. When you walk in, you’ll be taken back about how spacious the home is, how inviting the layout is, and how much the home has to offer. The master bedroom with the master bathroom attached and a walk in closet is a beautiful accommodation! Tammy and Todd were very responsive and helpful to any questions, comments, or concerns that I had throughout the duration of my stay. Ample amount of parking. A beautiful wrap around porch to enjoy cocktails on and two grills readily available for your grilling needs! For anybody visiting the Surf City to Wilmington area, this home is in prime location, being not too far away from the main highway of travel. For a party of six adults, this home sleeps everyone comfortably. A recommended stay!

Loved it

The Owner Tammy was super nice. The house was huge, very clean, and the beds were comfortable. The owner gave us heads up about the sulfur smell in the hot water and we just turned every faucet on when we arrived and let the hot water heater run out. Once it replenished everything was fine. We didn't have any issues with the sulfur smell the rest of the stay. The area was quiet. It only took us 15 minutes to get to Surf City/Topsail Beach where we played in the ocean, did a lot of shopping, and enjoyed plenty of good food and the best ice-cream/doughnuts/deserts with live music on an open deck at the Daily Doughnut Grind. The Surf City Pier was awesome and the food was fresh seafood and very affordable. The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital/Rescue Center offered tours, which was just one of our favorite moments. The guest book on the counter is a cute idea and I loved reading other guest's experiences and places they recommended in the area. I will definitely come again,

Did not want to leave

I rented this place based on the price, I was not expecting much since this was my priority. (Get what you pay for right?) I cannot say enough about this home and hospitality of the owners. The beds were BEYOND comfortable. Quite home set back off of the road. The property was clean and spotless, very impressive. Although we could not see the intercoastal area due to large overgrown trees, we could feel the air and hear the boats in the distance which was a relaxing in itself. We spent most of our evenings on the wonderful wrap around deck. I cannot say enough about this place. We plan to rent this again and so does our family members who live in NC for other visitors. We did not need to bring anything, the home had almost everything we needed. It was perfect and I did not want to leave this cozy abode..My sister was able to put her boat in the water by our place which was 3 min down the road! Big plus for boaters..Thank you Tammy & Todd!

Sister vacation

When starting this vacation, we were so excited. The road to the property was all gravel and filled with potholes. We get to the house the steps to the front door needs to be repaired. Once we are in the house it is very open and looks nice. But it doesn't have a jack and Jill bathroom. The guest rooms don't have anyplace to put your clothes, the closets were filled with construction material. The master bedroom window had a board covering it. The house was dirty, we contacted the owner about big bugs crawling around the kitchen and she said they were normal to the area, saying they were water bugs. The kitchen cabinet had spices from 2010 in them. We don't recommend this property, we won't be back. But if you do come here, bring towels and toilet paper with you. The towels looked like rags and not enough toilet paper to get us thru the night.
