Another great week at Topsail!
We had a great time and the house was in a perfect location! We were able to walk to dinner and get ice cream multiple evenings and really enjoyed evenings relaxing in the hot tub looking out at the ocean. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Trip!
This was a fantastically maintained and decorated property, with an absolutely perfect location. The beach is literally steps away but you're just far away from the pier to have a little distance from people, a close enough if you need to go grab a quick coffee it's only a few minutes away. The owners are courteous and prompt with their communication, and we'd gladly stay there again!

This is a hidden gem on the beach. Beautiful inside as well as the views looking out!
If you're looking for some relaxation right on the beach, this is the house to rent. In a quite neighborhood like setting, just steps to the beach and a short 2 minute drive into town. The house has been well maintained and decorated to make you feel right at home! This is my new beach house everytime I come home to my favorite beach!!

One of the best oceanfront places I’ve ever stayed!
This house was everything you see on the preview and more! It was gorgeous with amazing views of the ocean in the living room and downstairs master suite! Plenty of bathrooms and the kitchen is adequate and well stocked to cook for you and yours! Seriously, a walk down the deck and you are on the sand! We truly enjoyed our stay and the house made it perfect! Amanda

Relaxing week by the beach
We had a great time. The house was conveniently located to the ocean and was nice for our teenagers going back and forth to the water. It was a little far from the main area of restaurants with it being so warm. We have a 1 year old and appreciated all the amenities for him to make our stay safe. It was so nice to have umbrellas, highchair, gate, beach toys and boogie boards provided which allowed us to pack less in the car.

Quintessential Beach Vacay!
Our family of 9 stayed here for a week - grandma/grandpa, kids ranging from 2-10 - it was perfect! Kids loved looking for sharks teeth and we had the RARE opportunity of seeing baby sea turtles hatch in front of the home on our last day - simple incredible. As clearly stated in the listing, stairs are plentiful and a little steep but did not hinder anything. Can’t beat the location and the home had everything we needed. Donna was quick to reply and remedy any questions or concerns. Would totally stay again and recommend!

Lovely and comfortable
The location right on the beach was ideal. We loved eating on the covered porch and being able to watch the waves in the shade. Hot tub soaks were a great way to start and end the day, particularly in the cooler evenings. The house was clean and comfortable and the kitchen well stocked for cooking utensils. Our hosts were responsive to questions and tried to be flexible within reason when a hurricane messed with plans. Beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards were nice amenities that were also supplied. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Vacation spot
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Beachcomber. The facility was clean and ready when we arrived. The property manager was outstanding very responsive and used email to checkup on us during the visit. Access to the each was outstanding. Only problem was the wife and I are of age and the stairs were not our friend, but the exercise done us good Lol. Overall I give it an outstanding rating.

True ocean front and clean, simple style
Great stay over thanksgiving week. Communication from our host was outstanding with several touch-base messages before, during, and after our stay. The house is well equipped and stocked for our stay - whether its a few extra laundry pods or new spices in the kitchen or board games to play, we had almost everything we could want. My one critique - sacrifices had to be made to fit the appliances/cookware in the tight kitchen footprint; however, this left little room for food supplies except for in the fridge or the countertop. Would love to see some creative storage options and freeing up of pantry space to round out our otherwise great experience.

Heavenly time at the Beach!!!
The first thing I saw when we got upstairs was the sign, "Welcome to the Beach" at that moment my blood pressure dropped and I felt a sense of peace that lasted the next 7 days. This was my families 3rd time visiting Topsail and it was wonderful! I could hear the waves at night with the door and windows closed!! HEAVEN The porch swing was my favorite place to have my morning coffee. (other than walking the beach) The home was everything the ad said it was.. Thank you Donna for allowing us to share your beautiful home!! We will be back!!! Blessings, Tammy and Bryan Kidd

Epic sunrises, story-like beach (with direct access), hot tub with a view, walking distance to much in town and close driving for day excursions! The perfect getaway! 🤩
Wow! The Beachcomber did not disappoint! This is a fabulous property - inside and out - it exceeded our expectations: - Awesome layout to enjoy the view with direct access to the soft, sandy, clean beach - Hot tub for cool times of the day (or a drizzly one) - Screened windows and doors that open widely to enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean - Bright welcoming decor and comfortable beds, sofas and chairs - Private outdoor space for reading, eating, visiting, enjoying the view - Fully stocked kitchen with an abundance of dishes and cooking utensils - Easy walk to local eateries or activities (walk on the beach to any public access to get to where you want to go) - Quick drive to see the work of those at the Karen Beasley turtle rehabilitation center - Less than an hour to take in some history in Wilmington (Bellamy Mansion, USS Carolina) Donna was proactive in providing information on local amenities, weather and surf information, and reached out to check on us and very communicative through the whole rental process! Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beach vacation!

Great stay!
We really enjoyed this house. We traveled with kids and really appreciated the baby gate, high chair, beach toys and chairs that were provided so that we didn’t have to bring them ourselves. There were even white noise machines in the kids’ rooms which was great as well. Other provisions such as dishwashing tabs, laundry detergent and trash bags at the house were also very convenient. The host was communicative and helpful. The only feedback I have, and this is really out of anyone’s control, but the floors/ceilings do seem to be thin. If you are traveling with a baby + other small kids, you’ll want to be strategic about nap time and getting the bigger kids out of the house so baby can sleep. Just walking around the upstairs seemed to be heard from downstairs. But, like I said, the host even has white noise machines available that can really help with that too. Would definitely recommend for an ocean front stay with all the conveniences!

BEST Vacation House Ever
I can not say enough nice things about this vacation house and owners. The house was perfectly cleaned organized and had absolutely everything we needed. Perfect location right on the water and the hot tub was a bonus. We had two families stay with grown kids. The owners we nice enough to let us bring our small dog at the last minute which meant so much to us. This was our first trip to Topsail as we have always gone to outerbanks. I think we found our favorite NC beach. Highly recommend this property!
