Quick weekend trip

Came down for a few days for a friends retirement. Didn’t spend much time in the house, but wish I stayed longer so I could. Real nice place, clean, and quiet neighborhood. Will keep this place in mind for my next trip. Thank you!

Surpassed Expectations

Our stay was incredible! The property was very clean with plenty of towels, blankets and washcloths. The location was perfect as we were in town for our wedding at the Historical Society building. The host was always reachable for all our needs. I highly recommend a stay here!

Doggie Happy at the Beach

Fenced backyard is the main reason for our choosing this place... made life so much easier than having to go up and down steps with them on a leash. My only somewhat of a complaint... the yard/grass really needed attention. If I would have had access to a mower I would have mowed it the tall grass when we first arrived. By the end of our week it was in desperate need of a cutting. (even my dogs avoided parts of the yard due to the tall/thick grass) Enuf said about that... Otherwise... We plan to reserve again and again. Thank You!

Fun Topsail House

Overall, enjoyed the stay. It's close to the beach, has a fenced-in yard, decently-equipped kitchen, lots of sitting areas, fast internet, and a cool roof deck. Surrounding area was a bit unsightly, but not a big deal.

Great for dogs

We really enjoyed our stay here. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dogs. We usually stay a bit closer to the beach, but the location was nice and quiet and not having to walk the dogs every time they needed to go out certainly made up for the fact that we had to walk 2 blocks to the beach. We will likely be back next year.

Cute & Convenient Cottage

I chose this property because of the character of it and the beachy feel it has. It did not disappoint. It is all one level so easy to move around it. It is well maintained and very clean. It is very well stocked with whatever utensils and such you might need. Paper products were provided. it is more spacious than it looks. 2 bedrooms and a futon in the family room . 2 bathrooms. Also, within walking distance to all restaurants, shops, and the beach in Topsail which was real nice. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Myers Cottage and will plan to stay there again in the future. I highly recommend this cottage for your next vacay. You won't be disappointed!

Quiet Retreat

The house is located close to everything. It is a very nice quiet location. The roller-skating rink is a throwback to years gone by and we had a great time playing Bingo! We hope to make it back in the near future.

Great place

Overall stay was great. The place is older but still decorated very cutely. I didn’t feel it was the cleanest it could be. Dust and dirt in corners around baseboards dust on ceiling fans, toilets could have been cleaner. All the kitchen essentials were also older and some of the spatulas and kitchen utensils could use an update but other than that there’s really no complaints. Owners answered any questions we had. Loved how we could walk to coffee shops, restaurants, ice cream places and the beach access is super close. Rooftop porch had a wonderful view we loved sitting up there in the evenings. It’s also a quiet area at night so we could sleep. Would definitely stay again!

Beach Stay

We loved the property- it had everything you need and extra of everything. Having access to the laundry units made for a clean and sand-free trip home. This was the first vacation rental we've had where we didnt have to clean the entire property plus pay a hefty cleaning fee. Very easy check-in and check-out process. The walk to the beach, food, coffee and/or night entertainment all under 5 minutes.

Relaxing Getaway

We had so much fun during our week at the Myers Cottage! We love the location as it is a very short walking distance from The Breezeway Restaurant, The Assembly Building (where we had fun playing Bingo on Thursday night), and Four Cousins Ice Cream (where we had delicious ice cream each night :) It is a short walking distance to the public access, but it is also very easy to drive and park (for free) in parking spaces right by the public beach access. We loved sitting on the deck in the evenings to watch the sunset. The home had everything that we needed and it was a very comfortable stay. We don't have any dogs now, but we know that our dear dogs of the past would have enjoyed their stay, including the fenced-in yard. Communication was excellent!

Just Perfect

The location of the cottage is perfect. It’s in short walking distance to everything. We were right in the middle of all the fun stuff. We loved the bay views and watching the sunset from the top deck. The kids loved that all the fun activities were in all sides of the cottage in walking distance. The beach was not crowded at all and it was such a short walk. We loved that the house is set up to accommodate dogs. We never had to worry about them getting loose. Such a nice neighborhood to walk them in. We would definitely stay again!!

Great location! The house could use some attention.

This house is adorable and perfectly situated right in Topsail, within walking distance of everything. There are multiple great outdoor spaces, including a large fenced-in yard for your pup. Our only complaint was with the cleanliness of the property. We understood it was an older cottage when we booked it and didn't expect anything glamourous, nor did we want a super fancy property that we had to tip-toe around.... however, the house was very dusty and didn't appear to have been cleaned thoroughly after the last guests. There was dust on most surfaces (like the lampshades had a coat of fur and the bases were covered in a layer of dust), weird spots on the furniture, and most of the dishes had a filmy residue and fingerprints, so we rewashed everything before use. Overall, it was just a little grimy and not the most comfortable for relaxing, especially if you're stuck indoors with poor weather. Fortunately, we spent most of our time outside the cottage on the porch and decks and exploring the area. If this property was given a little TLC and thoroughly cleaned between guests, I would definitely stay here again.

Okay, but will avoid next time

Dusty musty and lumpy. House was okay but not that clean. Only comfortable place to sit or rest was a dirty recliner (sofa and beds are uncomfortable). The amount of work they expect the guest to do before checking out I have never experienced (and the fees if you do not do the work are ridiculous, and makes you wonder what the cleaning person actually does). Location is great, but not worth the price of this rental.

As described

We were looking for a pet friendly property at the beach. There aren't many. I would describe the property as rustic . Everything worked. Our dog loved the large fenced backyard. Nice covered front porch. Floors were wood and a mite uneven but not a problem. It was quiet and thats what we were looking for. Would stay there again in February.

My husband, myself and 2 small dogs had a wonderful time staying here! The fenced in back yard was perfect for the fur babies! Very short walk to the beach and the restaurants.
