North Topsail Beach Vacation Rental w/ Pool Access

Reviews

• Fun family trip

  5/5

  The condo was as expected. It was super nice being able to have access to the pools and hot tubs when we needed a break from the ocean. Met some really nice people on our stay. Ate at the restaurant Splash by the sea, which is in the resort and very delicious. Very quiet island with less touristy activities to do and more relaxation time to be had.

  3/5

  The front door was ajar - not just unlocked - it was not even closed. The musty smell that hits you as soon as you open the door was just the beginning. The view was the best part but the balcony was filthy. No ice maker (as advertised) and a broken garbage disposal. Kitchen could use an update and the microwave did not labeled so you had to guess times. The bathroom was just gross. Mold in the shower and an absolutely disgusting shower curtain liner. The shower drain was clogged and even the sink was really slow draining. Owner advertised beach chairs, umbrella and towels - BRING YOUR OWN! The beach chairs were rusted and broken - one step away from an emergency room visit and a Tetanus Shot!. Parking was difficult - lots of double parking loading and unloading and you are lucky of you can find a spot - it not you have to park across the street - what's not mentioned is that you have get a parking pass from the front desk - that would have been nice to know ahead of time.

  We did contact Trista - the "guest contact person" and she came out 2 days later and brought a new shower curtain liner and she unclogged the tub.

  Not impressed - would not stay there again especially at that price. On a good note - The restaurant "Splash by the Sea" excellent food!

  It was ok. There are a few items listed as being provided that were not. One was beach towels. I asked management about them and was told this owner has never provided beach towels and she didn't know why it's in the listing. Another thing was toiletries. There were bottles marked body wash, shampoo, and conditioner but the body wash and shampoo were almost empty. Conditioner was about half full. The carafe for the coffee pot was not there. I mentioned that to the property manager and she said the owner knows it's broken and she would reach out to him again about replacing it. I never heard anything else. The listing says ice maker but that is actually 3 ice trays. Some dishes were not clean. There's a musty smell under the kitchen sink. Towels are provided but I recommend you take your own as theirs do not get a person dry.The patio furniture is different from what's pictured.The BR is by the exterior hall and picked up a lot of noise.The other issues are with the complex. It's a long, long walk from the front of the building to the unit and there are 4 hallway doors to maneuver with the luggage cart. If you can find a parking space in the side lot, a different elevator and a couple of sets of stairs are closer to the unit. If the lot is full, you have to park across the road, which is another long walk.Good points: there is beach access, you can see the pier, there are 3 pools and a hot tub, and Splash by the Sea restaurant is here. Our best meal of the week was here.

  We enjoyed our stay overall. The condo was clean, nicely decorated, and provided most necessities. It was spacious and a great location. The pools were also very nice. Communication with the host was good as well.

  Very nice. Maybe a comfortable chair, as we are older . Bar stools are not so good for us. Beautiful inviroment. Easy access to beach and pool areas.
