A Great Beach Retreat!

My fiancée and I really enjoyed ourselves this past weekend. The condo was clean, organized and offers an awesome location. I will say the bed was comfortable which was a first for me at a beach rental. Alan is a nice guy to deal with. He has your best interests in mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay with Sacred Sands again!

Fabulous vacation and experience

What a perfect last minute getaway! Alan was so responsive and helpful, from the time we booked to when we headed home. The condo was right on the beach and perfect for our family of four. The pictures are true to life. The king bed was incredibly comfortable. In fact in 18 years of renting beach houses it was the most comfortable bed we have ever had. The view was amazing. We loved the deck furniture! The beach chairs were a nice added treat. The colors and decorations were very beach’s my and perfect. Just an amazing experience!

First time Topsailers

Topsail Island is awesome as is Alan. Alan was very responsive and gave great recommendations for restaurants. We loved Ricks in Sneed's Ferry for food and environment. We did not like the Crabpot in Surf City (we found it on our own)... The North Shore Country club is great for golf and the clubhouse staff are awesome. The beach is awesome and being on top of it is amazing. The A/C in the condo didn't keep it as cool as us old folks like but it was plenty sufficient. We are very very hot natured so we like it below 72 degrees. We had groceries delivered from Food Lion and that was perfectly timed. We shopped at the surf shop with the big shark in front and is was a cool little place to buy souvenirs. We enjoyed our stay and the owners were great.

We highly recommend this unit. Extremely easy beach access and the balcony had a beautiful clear view of the ocean. Clean inside the unit and once we got the AC’s going, it was comfortable and cool. We had a little trouble with the door lock but I think that was user error. Thank you for a wonderful place to make some memories!

Beach Life at its Best!

I have never been to North Topsail and it did not disappoint! First and foremost, Alan (owner) is AMAZING!!! There was a slight issue during my stay in the building- but Alan came out fighting with the Association to make it right immediately! His attentiveness and advocacy was what ensured this trip wasn’t problematic and was beyond appreciated. The condo is perfect with everything you need to enjoy yourself on the beach or hang on the deck - which is where I spent most of my time. I do suggest bringing what you need as locations to buy necessities is not exactly right around the corner but the drive there is scenic and as long as you plan ahead you can be prepared for a relaxing and extremely enjoyable vacation! I highly recommend this property and for sure recommend working with Alan! His intent is to ensure your trip is everything you hoped for and this trip was a success! I could not have asked for a more relaxing four days and am already making plans to return!

Could've been better

This is a great little condo especially the location however it needs some TLC. The screen door to the balcony is not secure and falls off the track. The table on the balcony is rusty and of course wet. I got rust stains on my new shirt from that table. The new kitchen counter is very nice but the silverware and pots and pans all need replacing. The knives are dull and the pots and pans and silverware are all very used and worn. This unit in general felt rather uncared for. For the price being asked, a renter could do much better for an oceanfront.

Our stay at sacred sands

Overall this was a good experience for a beach front stay during the summer. Alan was very responsive, allowed a slightly late check out (11am instead of 10am), and these condos are right on the water. The views are great and it's a quiet area, which we love. We've stayed at various condos in the same building for 5+ years and like the location. Our only complaint is that the prices have gone up considerably since the updates they made after the hurricane in 2019, but the updates don't seem to match the cost increase. The paint and new countertops are nice, but they still have a musty odor (especially the kitchen cabinets. We had to pull dishes out and wash them before using them and then kept them on the counters because they had an odor otherwise) and there weren't any major upgrades. The condos are still cooled with wall units and the kitchens are VERY tiny. It's a lovely weekend spot, but a longer stay might be hard.

Perfect!

The condo was perfect! This was my first time visiting Topsail and although my boyfriend has been many times, he hasn't stayed in North Topsail and he loved it. We both loved being right on the beach and hearing the waves crash almost under us at night. The bed was amazing to sleep in and the kitchen was fully stocked. Overall a great stay and we'll be back!

Loved it <3

Super cute condo with a great view. Bed was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve stayed in with a rental. Stocked kitchen, towels, linens - everything to make you feel at home. Even though we had a rainy day - we enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a blanket and books and just relaxing. There is a lack of beach during high tide - but beach was easily accessible off other units in the complex or the public access two to three doors down. Highly recommend this gem of a place.

Honeymoon

My husband and I stay here for our honeymoon and we had the best vacation we have ever had. The place had everything we needed. The view of the ocean off the balcony was beautiful, the bed was super comfy, everything was clean, and we felt like it was our home. We enjoyed the games they had there to play and coffee on the balcony and our days in the sun. You are literally steps away from the beach. We will definitely be coming back. Topsail beach holds a special place in our hearts because it’s where we got engaged, so this was a perfect spot for our honeymoon. Would highly recommend!!!

About the host

Hosted by Alan Martin

Host profile image
We are a small family of 5 with two amazing little boys and our precious baby girl. We are self-proclaimed beach bums and fell in love with Topsail Island after our first family vacation there (as a family of 3) in 2020. We take great pride in our listings and strive to give each and every guest a 5-star experience in our favorite place.

As hosts, we are here for you at ANY time for ANY reason no matter how small.

We would love to host you for your next beach getaway!

Why they chose this property

The Topsail Reef HOA is a very unique condo complex- you can literally not get any closer to the ocean! During high-tides the water comes right up to the sandbags- at first it may be a little worrisome, but rest-assured the building is safe! It is incredibly calming to sit out on the balcony staring out at miles and miles of endless ocean while listening to the waves crashing below. As one guest put it (paraphrasing!)- it's like being on a cruise ship without the people, motion sickness, & norovirus! The town & HOA work diligently every year on beach nourishment projects.

We also love "The Reef" because of its tranquil and low-key atmosphere (nothing like the crowded beaches up north) and its proximity to the inlet, which is a great place to take a walk and comb the beach for treasures.

This unit specifically is located in building 8, which has a "sweet spot" for beach access unlike the other buildings within the HOA that can be completely cut off from accessing the beach during high tides. While you may have to get your feet a little wet and be strategic in timing the waves, you should be able to access the beach even during high tides.

What makes this property unique

*recently refreshed unit, oceanfront views, private balcony, gel-foam king sized bed, can sleep up to 6 with the right group to save $!*
