We had a fantastic stay. Internet was excellent.. Location is awesome. We loved the labeled light switches! The kitchen is extremely well stocked for real cooking. Good water pressure in showers. Very comfortable beds. One suggestion, add a small step stool near washing machine to help shorter folks like myself reach the clothes in bottom of washer. We would absolutely stay here again. We loved it!

We absolutely loved our vacation stay. It was a beautiful home. The only thing keeping us from staying again is that there were no stairs down to the beach and the incline was too steep for my 70-year-old parents. And maybe they aren’t allowed to put them in due to mandates but it was challenging for my parents.
Andrew from Corry, PA - Posted: 7/9/2023
Thank you for your review. Steps to the beach are only allowed to extend to the toe of the dune. Existing steps may be kept in place so that is why you may see some stick out further than others. The ebb and flow of the strand changes frequently, and we are sorry that the beach can be diffcult for everyone to access at times.

One of the best weeks we have stayed at Topsail, everything was easy and smooth and are looking forward to using Ward Realty again next year. The only small complaint we have is the deck was stained dark brown and got extremely hot to walk on during the day. Not really a complaint, just an observation, everyone at Ward Realty should be very proud of what a great rental company they are, I would say best on Topsail.

The place smelled very clean when we arrived, everything was neat and tidy. I appreciated the dog bowls in the kitchen. Fantastic step off the deck and onto the beach. Nice large furniture for families.
