Its perfect for a quiet beach getaway. There isn't much nearby, but thats what we were looking for. The room is clean, the staff were nice, the balcony was perfect. The only minor thing that could make it better is providing paper towels in the room.

This is where I stay when going to Topsail. It's quiet this time of year. I think all rooms have a balcony with view of the ocean. I love sleeping where I can leave the curtains open. It's a great place, and the manager enjoys meeting his patrons.
