Topsail Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at the Tip Sea Turtle property in Surf City. The reverse layout of the house is great. Kitchen is well stocked. We had a few minor issues. Contacted Brittany and she was very prompt at communicating and taking care of them! It is great to work with someone who really cares about your stay! Thank you Brittany!!

Perfect vacation home

Cleanliness, location and comfort! This home was perfect for my adult son, my teenaged daughter, our puppy and myself to visit my oldest son who lives in Surf City. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen well stocked, entire home was very clean and the location is great! The decks are fantastic for sunrises and sunsets. Communication was great and check in/out very easy. I hope to return this summer and would definitely stay in this home again!

Long weekend for wedding

Our first trip to Surf City area. We needed a pet friendly place for family and friends attending a wedding in North Topsail. This was perfect! Great location, cottage set up, accommodations, well equipped, clean and the golf cart a wonderful addition. FRBO host was the best!! Will go back.

Terrific Place!!

Home (definitely a HOME, not just a HOUSE) is great -- clean, well-equipped, nice views from decks, quick walk to beach, on a quiet street near the canals. Brittany is wonderful to work with -- so pleasant and accommodating, and responds to questions/requests quickly. This is our second year renting the property, and fully intend to return next year!! Thanks!!

Loved this house!

We just returned from a week’s stay and it was wonderful. It accommodated our group of 8 just perfect. It is a comfortable clean property. The beds were great. Plenty of hot water and water pressure. We really enjoyed the porches with a wonderful sea breeze. You could even catch of glimpse of the ocean from the top level. The owner is wonderful as well. Great communication and quick responses. We will definitely book again.

Perfect getaway

This beach rental was the perfect match for our family to enjoy a nice October extended beach weekend. It was nice, having kids, being situated off the busy street and we enjoyed riding bikes along the back canal streets. This was a close enough walk to the beach for my 3yr old and 5 yr old as well. We had a great time!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. Short walk to the beach and beautiful views from all of the balconies. House was very clean, plenty large enough for all of us, and came well stocked with most everything we needed during our stay. Brittany was super kind and helpful.

"Do we really have to leave to come home?"

From start to finish, this property was PERFECT! Brittany was absolutely wonderful to correspond with and the home was not only gorgeous, but well supplied, well located, and just PERFECT! Comfort, beauty, and everything you could need was there. Even on the rainy days there were corn hole boards, games, etc. to keep us busy while grilling out. The distance between the beach and canals was spot on and the neighborhood was super friendly. We had our doggies with and they loved sitting on all of the decks to relax as much as we did. Have to say, this is the first vacation in a REALLY REALLY long time that I really didn't want to leave. Our college kids are already wanting to book for next year! Thank you Brittany for the use of your lovely home <3

Family Getaway

We visited Surf City/Topsail for the first time with our two daughters and small dog for 5 nights to getaway and kickoff summer. The home is gorgeous and well equipped! Easy walk to the uncrowded beach, plenty of shell collecting and very relaxing. The wheel broke on the beach wagon and Brittany quickly replaced the wagon next morning! Lots of great seafood restaurants and snack places around. Fractured Prune doughnuts and Daddy Mac’s were our faves. The Island Delights is very good too! Beautiful and QUIET neighborhood! Porch sitting was so relaxing and breezy. Large TV in all the BR and LR. The home and property was spotless, spacious and well maintained. Brittany replies to messages within minutes. We will definitely come back! 🏖

Wedding week

We stayed last week for 5 days - my son was getting married in Jacksonville (about 30 minutes away). The house is lovely, very clean, decorated beautifully. Very beachy without being cheesy. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well appointed. You can stand on the upper deck and see the ocean on one side and the intercostal water on the other. That is where I spent most of my time! There is public beach access very close. There were four of us for most of the week and then the rest of our party joined on Friday night. There is plenty of room for all of us. Brittany was quick to call back when we had questions. We had an emergency on checkout day and one of our party needed to go the ER and she was very kind and let us leave two hours later. I would love to go back when we could spend more time in the house instead of driving back and forth to Jacksonville.
