North Topsail Beach is a beautiful, quiet stretch of beach, with great shelling, especially if you like sea glass. The house was well equipped. As the listing states, there is starter supplies for paper towel and TP, so if your stay is more than a couple days, will need to supply your own. The included private yoga session was such a treat; the instructor came directly to the house so we could do yoga right on the beach in front of the house. The elevator was a great plus, in good working condition and reached all four floors. Check out the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue in nearby Surf City (reservations needed), and the Andrew's Produce farm stand on Topsail on Island Dr. All kinds of fresh products, including herbs, honey, jams, etc.We did have some issues with the hot tub and overall cleanliness and maintenance, but Abbie addressed these issues. She was very helpful and responsive to any of our questions.
