This is a great location, sound and beach views. The sound has the best sunsets! The unit needs some TLC. If you plan to sit on the back or front deck, bring your own chairs.My family would definitely stay in any of these units again.
We really enjoyed our stay, sound side gave beautiful sunsets. Loved all the balconies. The option to use the kayaks were awesome, even though we had brought our paddle boards and just ran out of time to use them all. Decent sized kitchen and dining area on main unit was perfect for our family. Although, my Dad in his 60âs didnât enjoy the stairs all that much it was worth it.
The property was clean, decorated nicely and set up for a family. Anything that is needed was already at the property. It is a quiet and peaceful location, except for the occasional person in a Dodge Charger or a diesel truck woo bowing up and down the little road. The locals and the permanent residents were all very friendly and nice, as were the other guests vacationing as well. That particular part of the island is only a few hundred yards wide, so the beach and the gazebo are literally right there. The gazebo is set in the inlet and offers good fishing and views. We caught pinfish, croakers, red drum and other fish that I have no idea what were. You can see sea turtles, alligators, snakes, crabs, oyster beds, ospreys and other various birds right from the gazebo. I saw some of the other guests catch flounder and blue crabs as well.The ocean and beach was very nice as well. There are plenty of shells, shark teeth and things like that right on the beach. The water is a beautiful blue/emerald color and clear and was about 85 degrees in late July. The beaches weren't overcrowded, mostly compromised of families and people surf fishing. There isn't very much on the island itself besides dwellings and stuff, not a bunch of tourist junk, which I appreciate. The host had good communication and checked on us through VRBO several times during our stay. All in all it is a very laid back and peaceful beach vacation and I would recommend it to anyone and would go back myself.
We loved our stay and chose this home mainly for location on the quieter North end of Topsail and the home having both inter-coastal/sound access and beach access. Beach was just steps away. Kayaks were a huge bonus. Having views of the ocean on one side of the house and sound on the other side with the most amazing sunset views was also a treat! Kitchen had everything we need as we mostly cooked our own meals, beds were a little firm for our preference but is not a deal breaker in coming back. Jon was prompt and clear in communication. We look forward to coming back! THANK YOU Jon for the opportunity to stay in your home in Topsail and create wonderful family memories
This is the perfect spot for a family getaway. Amazing views, easy beach access right across the street, a fully stocked kitchen, and room, inside and out, for everyone to have their own space, including a nice yard and a private gazebo on the ICW. Jon makes check in and out seamless and easy and is quick to respond to any questions. My two teens have let me know this is the spot to stay when we visit N. Topsail!
Great property for friends and family. Short walk to the beach and the sound on the backside. Located a way from busy spots but close enough to shoot into town to grab what you need.
This property was perfect for our beach vacation. It was a quick walk to the beach (about a min). Was very clean! And, the kitchen had the supplies needed. We cooked in for all meals except one. The ice maker came in handy! Would recommend staying at this property!
Our Topsail vacation did not disappoint, the townhouse was perfect for my family of 5 and my parents. It had amazing views of both the ocean and the sound. Exactly what we needed to relax and enjoy family time. So thankful for this gem!
Location was great, easy access to beach and inter coastal waterway. House is beautiful with all basic amenities and full kitchen setup. Jon, the host, was very nice and responsive to questions and concerns. The only downside was the bunk bed. It made noise with every movement. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return in the future.
We have stayed in this townhouse community before and it has the best views in North Topsail! This unit is beautifully furnished and updated. Everything is well-stocked and the hosts were easy to contact and super-friendly and helpful. Weâll be back!
What a great place! We were a family of 5 + 2 grandparents and we had plenty of room. The property was clean, beds comfortable and the kitchen had everything you need.
It is a great location - sit on the front balcony with a view towards the ocean, then out back on the waterways. A quick hop across the street to the beach via the private HOA access point, which meant this section of the beach was relatively quiet.
Jon was extremely helpful throughout the process - we had to call on him once for an item and he responded instantly.
I would recommend this property to friends in a heartbeat.
This home is perfect for a family (I had my two teenage boys with me). The third floor primary suite is heavenly and views to the intracoastal and ocean make the home ideal. A minuteâs walk and youâre to the beach. We cooked in for of our meals and the kitchen had everything we needed for our three night stay. The boys used the grassy common area to play and enjoyed the covered gazebo on the intracoastal in the evenings. Overall a wonderful stay!
We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Comfortable, modern, clean and right across from the beach! The neighbors are friendly and helpful. Check in and check out are a breeze! We highly recommend this property! Thanks Jon!
I would highly recommend this townhome and would definitely book again in the future! The location is the best because you are steps away from the beach (not even a block), the road noise is quiet, it is close to Sneads Ferry and Surf City, and you have 5 views of the ocean and sound. This is our second stay at Shipwatch villas. This unit was super clean and beds were comfy. The kitchen is big and has lots of pots, pans and utensils. There is wi-fi and cable (you can plug in your streaming services to the t.v.). Appliances are all new. Floors all look new:) The only thing I might recommend is to bring more hand and dish towels. Square footage is just right and didn't feel small. The beach was not overcrowded. We never heard noise from neighbors either.
We had a wonderful stay. The location is perfect for beach lovers. Just a short walk across a quiet street and we were on the beach in just 2-3 minutes. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possible need to make your favorite meals. Although there is no grilling allowed there is a large electric pan perfect for making hamburgers, hot dogs and steaks.
The house was clean and it was a plus that the linens and towels were included and the comfortable beds made up on arrival. I highly recommend this beach house and would stay again in the future. Thanks Jon for being so responsive to inquiries.
Great location on the Sound with the ocean across the street. Beautiful views. Updated condo, clean with new appliances. Grounds were well kept. Quiet neighborhood.
