Nice Little House
The house worked well for us: four adults in three bedrooms. Gorgeous weather. The house was basically equipped and well cleaned. The only issue was no wi-fi and thus no television. The property manager was sympathetic, but unable to help without the home owner who was unresponsive during our stay. We will seek other accommodations next time.

Great house and location
We loved this house and its proximity to restaurants, the pier, and shopping. It could have been cleaner but that didn’t take away from our enjoyment.

More than expected!
The pictures do not do this beautiful place justice. It’s the perfect beach cottage. The smells of the salty beach air, the wonderful patio for optional non-beach sun, the inviting kitchen for additional cooking and family time, ITS UNBEATABLE. Our family had the best time. We made memories, we escaped the cold north, and we did it all together in our own place. We also made some friends with neighbors! Thank you for opening your home to us. It was way more than the listing suggests. Make sure if you have a larger family, you bring extra towels! It wasn’t an issue because they also supply washer and a dryer, but you can never have too many towels.

Great Fall Getaway
We had a great time celebrating my mom's birthday. We enjoyed the pet friendly house and porch with all the gates! The weather was upper 70s and 80.

The home is very nice and comfortable. The beach is quiet and not too crowded. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Played bingo at Community Center on Thursday! Great family location.

Just right!
We truly enjoyed our stay at the charm of finches. The property met our needs perfectly and the only problem was that the week flew by. Loved the privacy and proximity to the beach.

Great house. Property was very clean. Under house/garage unusable (which was what I expected being it was not in rental description;) but I felt it was a little eerie. Great house! Great stay! We enjoyed it very much!

Cozy cottage
Very relaxed and adorable cottage. Loved having the follage around the cottage for privacy. Loved the decorations and age of the home is older with character which I love Quiet and steps to the beach. Nicely stocked Pier within view. Wide beach. We sold our beach home recently after many years on the north side. The roll out awning on the deck was a plus This may be our new home away from home at the beach.... Thank you for opening your home

Just the ticket
My family vacationed in Topsail in the 1960s-80s, and returning all these years later was a delight. This home is in the quieter, older part of the island, and it is pretty wonderful - gorgeous, sweeping views of the ocean, wonderful outdoor space, comfortable and nicely equipped inside. Can’t wait to return.

Cozy, clean home with great location & amazing views
Had a wonderful stay with family and our dog. Clean, cozy, incredible views - just steps from the ocean & several yummy restaurants nearby (including Shaka Taco) 🙌 *Running was great too - there were many sidewalks to use (for those not beach runners).
