We’ve come to Topsail multiple times, and this was our favorite place we’ve stayed so far. It’s a great location – walking distance to the Topsail shops / restaurants, a playground, and very close to a public beach access; we were also pleasantly surprised that it was walking distance to the annual Autumn on Topsail festival (and we could hear the live music off the back porch!). The layout is great and works especially well for families. We were traveling with a very mobile 1 year old, and were pleased to have spacious bathrooms with tubs for bathtime, a baby gate for the stairs, and front and back porches for the parents to relax after bedtime. You can see both sunrise and sunset from the top floor which added to the ambiance. The furnishings are comfortable and home-y – the kitchen was especially well stocked. Tami was very responsive and graciously allowed us to check in early on our first night which was really appreciated for naptime once we got into town. H ighly recommend!
