Oceanfront North Topsail Beach Rental w/ Deck

Reviews

• Pictures are misleading about the beach

  3/5

  While we had a great time, this property is literally in the water. There is no beach to sit on unless it’s late evening during low tide. The pictures that advertise this property show quite a bit of beach front to enjoy. There really is none. We had to drive to a public beach access to enjoy a day on the beach.

  Property was clean and cute. Just disappointing about it the fact that there is no beach to sit on.

• This unit was disgusting and smelled like mildew

  1/5

  Problems with the keypad not working. Unit smelled like mildew. Furniture was dirty. Carpet was dirty. Pots and baking pan were nasty. Limited time on beach due to no beach area unless it was low tide. One of the two chairs on the balcony was broke. We left early and went to Wrightsville beach. I have been renting condos for over 30 years at the beach and have never been disappointed like we were with this unit. I wouldn't recommend or stay

  at this unit ever again.

  Thank you, Robert, for sharing your feedback about your recent stay. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns and apologize for any inconvenience you faced. We have shared your feedback with the owner, who would like to respond to your concerns:
  
  -When you arrived, we were made aware of the problem with the keypad, which we addressed immediately by providing you with a key and replacing the battery. We are in the process of troubleshooting the keypad further to ensure this does not happen again.
  -There is no mildew in the unit, and we want to clarify that we are not taking any additional measures for ventilation. Beachfront properties often have a moist smell, especially during very humid times, which is common. We have not received similar complaints from other guests.
  -Regarding the cleanliness, while the unit was cleaned before your arrival, we acknowledge that there may have been wear and tear on the furniture and some dust on the exhaust fan. However, cleanliness and sanitization are our top priorities and we will address these concerns promptly to ensure a better experience for future guests.

• Awesome views

  4/5

  We absolutely loved staying here. The views were great and the places around were awesome. Having the waves at your balcony, just blissful. Beach part was a little weird bc of rising waters and beach erosion there was only a few hours you could stay on the beach before tide started to come back in. We loved it nonetheless. My 11 month old and 8 year old had the times of their lives.

• ZERO BEACH

  2/5

  I am giving this condo a 2 star. The condo itself was fine, it was tiny but we knew this going into it. There were 5 of us staying there (1 in a pack and play in the bedroom with us) and it was tight. I cannot imagine 6 adults staying in this place. The worst part about it was the pictures do not accurately represent the beach. There is ZERO beach during high tide....the waves are literally slamming into the porch so the beach is completely unusable for 80% of the day. Not sure how this place hasnt been swept away by the ocean. Luckily there is a public beach not too far which is much larger but the large sand bags, which are in substitution for dunes are such an eye sore. The property manager was very attentive and answered all of my questions promptly. We made the most of it and still had a good time but wanted to give a bit more insight into this place. Maybe the description will be updated along with the pictures to showcase the beach, or lack there of.

  Carly, we truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts about your recent stay. Your feedback is essential to us, and we've relayed your comments to the homeowner, who would like to address the following:
  
  -We try our best to provide a great environment for guests, but sometimes external factors like tide levels are simply out of our control.
  -The condo remains oceanfront, but there is no beach available during high tide and only a small strip during low tide currently. The views from the unit's private deck are still stunning! Public access to North Topsail Beach is just a short drive away.
  -We're sorry if the photos of this listing caught you off-guard. The homeowners are revising the beach photos and are adding verbiage to describe the recent ocean changes to ensure that all guests can find the perfect vacation rental for their needs.
  
  Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to address these concerns.

• Beautiful and Peaceful
