This was our first vacation directly on the beach, and we loved it. The condo was very clean, and was just as described in the VRBO listing. Having stayed on South Topsail Island many times, this is a very convenient location for dining and shops in both directions. The owners are very responsive and friendly. They answered questions immediately, and provided timely updates regarding check-in and check-out (which are quite easy). Finally, they replaced a faulty TV with a very nice smart TV. We will stay here again.
