Send a message if you need anything during your stay. With quick response time and being local to the area, we hope to provide you with a seamless and enjoyable stay!

This home is situated on a corner lot of a quiet cul-de-sac. The beach community is great for walking, bike rides, and close distance to the public beach access.

The beach is short walking distance away, however we do recommend a vehicle to explore all that Topsail Island and Surf City have to offer.

We ask that you take care of the home as if it were your own. We hope to provide a great space for all guests to unwind and relax during their time here!

Brittany R.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Roaches and bugs in every room. A failing refrigerator that ruined our groceries. The house was clearly dirty and poorly maintained.While Kolk Realty refunded the cleaning fee and grocery bill, the infestation requires far more than a simple spray; we had to use our own Raid just to cope. Communication with management was dismissive and condescending.This trip was a complete disaster. We will never stay at a Kolk Realty property again.
