Oceanfront, Hot Tub, 2 King Beds, 2 Bunk Rooms!

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews1 month ago

We chose a very special place for a very special occasion - our silver jubilee. The ocean views were awesome and the constant sound of the waves were quite soothing to hear. The sturdy wooden staircases provided quick and easy access to the beach from both floors of the house. All the rooms were clean and tastefully furnished. The ocean theme of the living room’s furnishings and fabric added a cozy feel to the space. All the bathrooms were clean and contemporary. The full kitchen was very much to our liking with literally everything one would need. Donna responded to all our queries in a timely and professional manner. Her placing an anniversary greeting card on the kitchen counter was a lovely gesture and well appreciated by us. The quaint and quiet seaside neighborhood was absolutely charming. Our dear pet also had a wonderful time. Along with a fabulous weather, the vibes were just perfect to turn our momentous day into a memorable celebration. Will definitely consider coming back.

Topsails Treasure | Oceanfront Luxury | Spa + Pool

5 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviews2 weeks ago

We had a great, almost week here! The house was huge (3 floors). Would be great for multiple families. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed. The location, balconies, and hot tub were some of our favorite parts. The communication from owners was top notch. We had an amazing stay. Thank you!

Sea Pearl-Come relax in the sand

5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviews8 months ago

We took our teens here for a graduation trip for our daughter. The house comfortably held all 8 of us. We asked for extra towels, and they were quickly provided. The photos do not do justice to the beauty of the home and the views. Sitting on the deck watching the waves and listening to the ocean all day long were spectacular. The house was stocked with books and games. Our young adults and teens (6 of them!) enjoyed doing the puzzles and playing games. The kitchen was stocked with enough dinnerware for all of us. Starter paper goods were available, and we easily replaced them with Walmart delivery. Both Walmart and Costco deliver to the property, making it easy to relax. We used the kitchen and the BBQ daily. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing bonding time with our kids. And thank you for accommodating delayed flights both on arrival and departure! Sam was very kind taking time to explain everything to us and answer any questions. THANKS! 10 plus stars!

Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub, Steps-2-Sand, Dogs ok

5 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviews2 weeks ago

I wanted a spacious home with a pool and hot tub that was close to the beach for a spring break getaway with my kids, my daughter's friend, and our dog, and Beja House was that and much more! The hosts proactively offered to get the office ready for me -- I'd mentioned in my reservation notes that I'd need to attend a couple Zoom meetings for work during our stay. The house was stocked with everything you need and more for cooking, cleaning, vacationing: There were sodas and water bottles in the mini fridge. There were plenty of beach towels, sun screen, beach chairs, pool noodles. There were even poop bags and a leash, which was nice to have in when we realized we'd left ours on the third floor on our way out the door to the beach. The saltwater pool and hot tub were a hit with the kids (11, 12, and 14), as was the fire pit, where we roasted marshmallows to make smores with the smores kit that was waiting for us in the kitchen when we arrived. These guys know what they're doing!

Newly Built Coastal Cottage, The Perfect Getaway!

5 out of 5 average rating, 62 reviews3 days ago

This was our first stay in OKI, and it was definitely one to remember thanks to Michelle! Michelle was on top of absolutely everything - communication was top notch, she seemed to think of every amenity we could need, and her house was immaculately clean. We felt at home from the start, and the location was perfect. There is not anything else we could have asked for.

Oceanfront Beach Getaway | Dog Friendly | EV

4.81 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviews3 days ago

This beach house was perfect four our family of 6. Being able to walk right out to the beach is amazing, and if you don't want to walk out to the beach, the view from the upper deck is fabulous! Amy's place had everything we needed to cook breakfast and seafood dinners. We appreciated the use of the house beach chairs - less items to travel with! Great local produce (Andrews Produce) down the road, we love going to the Seafood Market for the daily catch, and we tried Topsail Steamer (pot worked great on top of the grill). Great long weekend at Topsail and wish we could have stayed longer.
