The location of the property is perfect. We know Surf City and Topsail Island very well so knew it was a good spot when booking. Although not ocean front, literally steps to the beach and good views of the ocean can be seen from inside. The sound and inland waterway can be seen from the deck so that is a bonus. We were very disappointed with the condition of the unit. The kitchen was very poorly stocked - thankfully, we had brought a few basics with us such as measuring cups and spoons but this place was ridiculously bare. No mixing bowls, among other things, and I had to buy a vegetable peeler. It also needs a really deep, thorough cleaning. I.e. carpets cleaned/replaced, cabinets wiped out, furniture CLEANED. The shower heads had to be replaced in 2 of the 3 baths because they were so dirty and mildewed we didn’t want to use them. (and, yes, I tried to clean them myself before calling the agent). Yes, it’s getting to the end of the rental season and places are starting to get worn and tired but still…
Again, great location and we really liked the layout of the unit for our group of adults and teens however a thorough refresh is desperately needed!!
