Cute house, as expected
The house was as advertised; right on the beach and fully stocked to make your stay as easy as possible.
The only hiccups we had were likely because we came down early due to an early Spring Break and it was still the off season in Topsail so the house probably wasn't quite ready for the season. Everything in the kitchen needed to be cleaned before we could use it as there was a light layer of dust on all utensils, bowls, plates etc, the grill was usable but you had to watch it closely so that it doesn't start a grease fire (it needs to be cleaned) and the batteries on the electronic keypad had died, so we had to reach out to the host to find the keys. But that was the extent of it, all minor and easily overcome.
Otherwise the house is fine. You cannot beat the location, its very private, right on the beach. The new back deck is very nice and would be very enjoyable in warmer weather. The owner has made sure that you do not need to bring anything for the bedrooms, bathrooms or kitchen (other than food) as it is fully stocked, linens/towels provided and in the event of bad weather there are plenty of games available.
While it is small (I wouldn't want to have more than 4 people) the house is well appointed and comfortable. Some TLC/touch-ups are needed (especially the front/side porch that needs to be replaced) but by and large the owners have taken good of it.
All said, we would return. Owners were reachable and quick to address any issues, our stay was enjoyable.
