This house is the best place we have stayed at on North Topsail Beach. The beach is wide and not very crowded, water is clear aqua and it is only 5 minutes to grocery stores and shopping in Sneads Ferry. The beach is literally right out your sliding glass door, with a nice shower to rinse sand off before coming back inside. The home itself was beautiful with lovely views of the beach in the living room/dining/kitchen areas. The beds were all very comfortable, rooms nicely appointed and decorated and good amount of kitchen supplies. We also liked being able to park in the covered area under the house, esp during rainy days. Air conditioning works well - even on the 95F day we were there and on the top floor. The host, Prashant, is amazing, with a great guidebook laying out everything you need to know about the property and area. Super communication, friendly and helpful with any questions you might have. I would definitely stay at any of his properties in the future!
