We have been staying with WARD for many years and have never had a bad experience. First at FAIRWINDS until we gained too many grandchildren for that space. The kids (4 to 13 yo) love the huge dining room table at SEA CREST for playing games or doing art work. The whole family looks forward to spring break every year

It was a great week. The HVAC system wasn't working correctly when we arrived. The whole issue was resolved within 24 hours of my report to Ward Realty. I was very happy with that. Thank you.

Absolute favorite cottage! The big porch is wonderful for sun and rain protection and being able to gather with a lot of people at once.

It was a wonderful experience this year to have bedding and towels provided. In the past it was difficult to find, pack, and transport linens from and back to Michigan. I hope at Sea Crest this practice continues. Fantastic assortment and quantity of breakfast bowls, glasses, and dinner plates makes this home a real gem for large groups, and the large dinning table was great for kids to play games while others did artwork. Even when it was cloudy or too cool for the beach we all still had room without feeling crowded.

We have booked two ocean front properties from Ward. Six years at Fair Winds and this year at Sea Crest. Both of these houses provided outstanding comfort and convenience. This year we really appreciated the abundance of eating utensils, drinking glasses, and breakfast bowls at Sea Crest. Already looking forward to next year's trip to Topsail.

This house was so wonderful, great location, great size, beachfront, and affordable! The only thing we would have loved to see was an outdoor shower but I would stay here again and again! I appreciate not having to go to the realty office to check in and out, it was so nice to know when the property was ready instead of guess. Loved that. Overall we had an awesome vacation, we've stayed a few places on topsail before but never with Ward or this house and I would say it's our best choice yet.
