A Breathe of Fresh Air
WOW! We were very happy with our stay! Beth was an outstanding communicator! The place was exactly as seen in the pictures! Very close to beach and private. Top Sail Island is the perfect spot, NO commercialization and very comfortable! Fishing was great and we slayed the shark tooth hunt. Yes we would definitely go back!

Great time at Dolphin Tales
My family of 5 and my sister’s family of 4 plus our dog all very much enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Tales. Beth was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and equipment. The bedrooms were spacious. The living area was comfy and had a nice selection of family games. The deck space offered a great view, and the beach was just steps away. The beach equipment closet was well stocked with boards, chairs, sand toys. The Pac-Man game was a big hit with our kids and husbands. We all had a great time and would Love to go back!

Perfect beach vacation
The house is beautiful, newly updated w brand new carpet in bedrooms. Layout is great for ocean viewing from kitchen, dining, living room & master bedroom. Just beautiful! Beach is narrow but widens a lot as tide goes out. Highly recommend

Beautiful house on the beach
We had a great time staying at Dolphin Tales! It was our first time taking our dog with us to the beach and I was nervous with pet friendly places. The house was very clean, you would never know any dogs stayed there. Loved the house and the view. Plenty of games to play. Had an issue with the air conditioning and the host Beth had the issue resolved quickly. Highly recommend this house!

The home was comforting. The views were amazing. The island has a lot of history Our trip was during Hurricane Lee so waves were so loud and memorizing but for me the best part was the shooting stars at night.

Fantastic being right on beach
All the pots and pans were very dirty. All the mattresses were poor. All the boogie boards were broken, so didn't have boards to use, and cabinet contents not as pictured. The views and the beach were incredible. The pinball machine was fun!

great beachfront property
The house and location are amazing. The property was easy to find, clean, well maintained and cared for, and generally well equipped. Everything was in good working condition except beach umbrellas and some beach toys, all of which we considered extras provided at the owner's expense and not integral to the property listing

First time to Topsail and was not disappointed! This home was lovely and Beth super responsive to all my questions. Amazing ocean view and dancing dolphins every day! Loved the delivery of fresh sheets and towels for the week as I knew my linens were fresh and clean! Super relaxing week! Next time we will rent kayaks from the Beach Bar directly across the street to take in the beauty of the intercoastal. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
