Family/Friends vacation

House was perfect for all our needs. We brought out boat and utilized the boat ramp and dock all week. Enough space for 6 18-21 year old kids, five adults and one 14 year old. Owner was very attentive and easy to contact if needed.

Beach family reunion

14 of us met up on topsail island in this wonderful beach house for a family get together. We had a great week fishing, kayaking, going to the beach and eating lots of ice cream at the many shops in town. There was a great place to gather in the open concept kitchen living room and dinning room where we ate breakfast and dinner together and played cards. We also enjoyed all of the outdoor sitting areas on the water. The owner supplied a great beach cart and beach chairs to use all week. We made many family memories and really enjoyed our trip. Thank you to Old Savannah Farm.

Powell Beach week

This is a very nice property for large groups. We can gather in the living room or under the house. We love being on the canal and bring a boat and there are canoes to use. It’s a short walk to the beach and the owner is wonderful! We have rented for 3 years now and he is consistently on the job of making sure his tenants have what they need. I can definitely recommend this home.

Looking Forward to Next Year!

This was the 5th year our family has stayed at this house and we had a wonderful time as always! There is so much to do. We can play in the canal, kayak, fish, walk to the beach and much more. We have a large family and there is plenty of parking space and even room to let the little ones ride their bikes. We stayed on the week of July 4th this year and we had no issues with the water. The boost pump that was put in worked great. I've always stayed in one of the upstairs rooms and used the shared bathroom for showers. In the past, we could not take a shower there if the washer was going or if someone was in the master shower downstairs. However, this year we had no issues with the water at all. Thank you Mr. Dawson for taking care of that! Mr. Dawson was wonderful and checked in with us several times to make sure everything was good. We left a valuable item when left on Saturday and Mr. Dawson got it and graciously let us meet him to get it back. Our large family loves staying here and looks forward to our next stay!

Perfect location for a family vacation!

We stayed here in June with visiting family from Texas (several families with children ranging from 6-18). We were very pleased with the location and proximity to the beach. Our family loved fishing, swimming, kayaking (4 provided by Dawson and family) and paddle boarding right behind the house in the canal which was perfect for idling while getting several families ready for the beach. The beach was only a 5 minute walk at Access 3 and wasn't terribly busy. With such a large group, it was easier to cook meals. We were very pleased with the availability of kitchen items --from the availability of sharp knives to Tupperware to store leftovers, everything seemed thoughtfully placed for cooking in large numbers. I would definitely recommend this location with such great hosts!

Great Family Trip

We had a great stay at this house. Very comfortable for our family of 9. Very clean and welcoming upon arrival. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock daily and using the kayaks provided at the property. Also appreciated the beach chairs available for use. Very quick walk to the beach. If you have a boat to bring it is an ideal location to enjoy the intracoastal and the beach in the same trip. Excellent communication with property owner. Highly recommend and would stay again!

As a farm family we enjoyed this “farm” home with great views of the canal, wonderful tractor displays, and minutes away from the beach. The owner is awesome and answered all our questions. If you’re looking to stay close to the beach with family and friends this is a great place to stay!

Family Vacay to Surf City

This house is just wonderful for our family and the location is great for us! This year we actually had a boat to enjoy the boat dock and canals. The house provided kayaks as well and we had fun with those. It’s a short walk to the beach so you can have canal front fun and ocean front near by. This is the second year we have rented this house. Dawson the owner is very quick to take care of any issues. The kitchen is well stocked and the area underneath the house has a grill. It also has a wonderful breeze and is great for hanging in the evening! We will likely rent here again!!

Surf city

This was our 3rd year staying at this property and we have always had a great time and this time was not any different except we came Fourth of July week and will never do this again. The water pressure is nonexistent so we went days without proper showers or toilet flushing. I was a bit confused on why my neighbors had water but we didn’t . I think the owner did as much as her could but we were hoping for some kind of compensation for not having showered for 2 solid days. He did offer 200 off next year rental but that was very slight considering we we extremely understanding and have stayed years in a row. We will definitely come back to surf city but will most likely not be there that week.

Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay! Our group of 13 people, ranging in age from 1 to 61, had all the bedrooms, bathrooms and space we needed to have a terrific beach vacation. We loved the outdoor space at the house and played many games of corn hole. We used the kayaks several times. We cooked most of our meals in the house and had everything we needed to make them. The walk to the beach was between 5-10 minutes and was very easy. We spent each day on the beach and enjoyed the amount of space available for our group to spread out. We would definitely stay again!

Family Vacation Week

We all loved this house. It fit our 15 person family so well. We didn't feel cramped and everything was up to date and beautiful. All the pans and pots and dishes were there to feed a crowd. The owner and his wife were really nice and checked in on us via text to make sure all was well. The property is so nice and you get good breezes under the house so we ate on the outside picnic tables most of the time. Loved this house!!

What vacation?

This is a very nice home. All the reviews were great. Then on my way down I get a phone call that he has cameras up. Watching his boat ramp. Well they watch every move you make outside and then we were concerned is there any inside?? He calls/or text several times a day. We mistakenly plugged into the neighbors outlet (right at his boat lift) and she contacted him so of course he contacted me. I went over apologized and gave her my name and number. She was nice and said no worries to enjoy the rest of my vacation. I soon found out the problem isn't with the renters. The owner is at war with both neighbors. When you pay what we paid for the week you don't want to be videoed or harassed on vacation!! I think he should have to put in his description that he has videos up because I can promise you I would have never purchased this home to rent. If you can't trust people to stay in your home without watching their every move you don't need to rent it out. Very miserable week.
