N Topsail Vacay
The house was perfect for our beach vacation. The owner was super responsive to all of my questions. I loved not having to worry about house keys and being so close to the beach. The outside shower was convenient for keeping sand out of the house. Thank you!

Great stay….cozy little beach house.
Location was awesome! Didn’t mind the short walk to the beach. House was exactly as pictured. Comfy beds, had everything we needed. If we had one complaint, it would be that there’s not full cable TV. But definitely not a deal breaker for us. We would stay at ‘lil orphan Annie’s again.

Happy as a Clam at High Water
We had a great time at Little Orphan Annie on North Topsail Beach. What a relaxing place! The deck was our favorite place to hangout when off the beach. The view and sounds of the ocean were just what we'd hoped for. Beach access was quite convenient and made trips back for drinks and snacks quick and easy. The North end of the island is very peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice Little Beach House
This property suited our needs well. Beach was just a 3 minute walk away, and we went every day! This is not a regular beach access site, so there is no public parking, but there is also no lifeguard or rip current warnings - make sure to check the surf conditions everyday and watch your kids. Pros: -Outside shower and hose to help keep the sand out of the house -Proximity to beach -Well-working appliances (Washer is TOP load, not front load like the listing says) -Plenty of room for a family of 4 -Pet friendly (even though we didn't bring a pet) -Communication with host - quick responses -Linens and towels were good quality -Not a huge list of things to do a checkout Cons: -Wi-fi wasn't working properly - communicated with host, but it was never resolved - not a big deal for us -No shower caddies, or shelves in shower so we had to put our toiletries on the shower floor -Eating table was sticky - consider bringing a table cloth if you want to use it for board/card games I would recommend this property to anyone who wants close access to the water, and doesn't need a super swanky place to stay!

Peaceful retreat
We loved the location of Orphan Annie. The beach was so close, and was never crowded at all. The beds were comfortable and the house layout worked well for us. The outdoor shower came in very handy multiple times a day. The kitchen is small, but we didn’t have trouble cooking most of our meals for our family of 5 in it. We ate on the deck and it was perfect. The games and books were a thoughtful touch that we took advantage of. The ice maker in the fridge didn’t work and there was some lingering pet hair, but we know from experience that you can vacuum and clean and still find small hairs on things, so no big deal. This place had everything we needed to spend an enjoyable few days as a family at the beach!

Could be better, Needs attention.
Acceptable place to stay, but with all the other options available, I would not book again. Location is decent- an easy walk to the beach, the decor is cute and the owner is quick to reply. That said it could use a good refresh - moldy faucet handles, dirty walls, etc. While I could have overlooked the interior, the outside was extremely disappointing - uncut grass up to my knees, I got swarmed with bug bites every time I took my dogs out. In addition to the really long grass, the back yard was filled with pieces of siding strewn about, and the fence is broken. I mentioned this to the owner, and she did mention the hurricane- though, I’m surprised that the siding has been left thrown about several weeks later, and the fence was mentioned by another reviewer a year ago. If you book, be sure to pack garbage bags. I was surprised that the house didn’t have any at all, not even in the (needing a cleaning) garbage can.

Online ad needs updating
We relied on the pictures for accurate info regarding the property. We take exception with the photo of the lot across the street between house and beach. It in no way depicts the real scene which is a walkway overgrown with grass with a large stop sign at the end. ( it is NOT beach access) and the lot contains unsightly debris/ construction items. The piece de la resistance are the enormous sand bags lining the beach at this location which are hideous. The erosion at this area of the beach is so bad the beach is not usable for much of the day. We had to pack up and drive south to get descent beach, and use port a potty’s instead of meandering back and forth from our rental, which is what we expected. Secondly, the house is very tired and grimy. Couches and carpet should be deep cleaned or better yet replaced. On the upside , the knives in the kitchen were in better shape than at most rentals I’ve been in and the linens rental service was great.
