A Beach Haven

We recently stayed at this property in North Topsail Beach and overall had a great experience with a few frustrations worth noting.The home itself is beautiful, clean, and in a fantastic location just a short distance from the beach. The rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated, making it feel comfortable and inviting for our entire group. The beds were very soft and cozy—perfect if you prefer that style of mattress like I do.The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with everything you could possibly need, including some fun extras like a Ninja Slushie machine, which was a nice touch. The basement was another highlight—it was fully equipped with entertainment options and had plenty of beach gear available, including chairs, buckets, umbrellas, a sand stroller, and more. It really made beach days easy and enjoyable.Customer service was also a plus. When we had an issue with the front door keypad not working properly, the response was quick and a maintenance technician came out the same day to fix it, which we really appreciated.That said, there were a few downsides. The hot tub was not in good condition—it was dirty, cold, and needed water added, which was disappointing. Additionally, there were workers pressure washing properties every single day of our stay, starting as early as 7 a.m. The equipment was extremely loud and often parked right next door, even when they were working a few houses away. It was disruptive, and we were surprised when we returned one day to

We had a wonderful stay at this home! The house was beautiful, very spacious, and had plenty of room for our group of 14. We really appreciated the garage, which was stocked with fun games as well as plenty of beach toys for the children to enjoy. The only thing I would mention is that guests should come prepared with their own supplies, including toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, and laundry detergent. We also needed to make our own beds upon arrival. We have stayed in many Airbnb properties and have never encountered this before, so it is simply something future guests may want to keep in mind when planning their trip. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay. The home was comfortable, the location was beautiful, and it was a great place for our family to spend time together.

Our family of 15 enjoyed our stay with plenty of room for everyone. The pool and beach were a short walk away. The house was clean and stocked with toys for the kids. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware. The unit easily stayed cool and comfortable. The area felt safe for our family.

Everything was excellent except for the floors (under furniture was very dusty and had trash in the cracks of the couches) some corners were dirty.

The house is very conveniently located close to a beach access. The neighborhood was quiet and the pool was amazing! The only issue we had was a leaky refrigerator. I let the host know immediately. I was told they would send maintenance over the next day and they would call me. I never heard from maintenance. It was annoying having to clean up the water from the floor so no one would slip.

Great space and beautiful condo!! Disappointed we couldn’t use the hot tub the water was yellow and there was a film on top but that didn’t spoil our trip!! Beach is right there Pool was a little sad and not maintained but we played on the beach most of the time. The space in the garage is great especially if you have kids with you. So many chairs and beach toys!!! Just an FYI bring extra toilet paper, paper towels ands trash bags they aren’t supplied. They just leave whatever was there.

Loved the ease of checking in and the closeness to the beach. We were able to have a family get together all in the same house and it was wonderful! We usually need to stay in different hotels but this made it easy to be together.

Best. Family. Vacation. Ever!
Our stay at 'A Beach Haven' was nothing short of perfect for our entire family, which ranged in ages from 6 months to 80 years old. The location was incredibly convenient, with easy access to both the beach and the pool, making it a breeze for everyone to enjoy their time. Anyone prepping a baby or young kids for the beach or pool know how critical location is! The cleanliness and overall property maintenance were top-notch, which gave us peace of mind, especially with the little ones around. The home itself was spacious and well-appointed, offering something for everyone. Each family member, from the youngest to the oldest, found their own space to relax and enjoy. Nothing beats watching the sunset on the sound-side patios and the sunrise on the ocean-side patios. As someone with a professional background in property management for luxury vacation homes, I know what to look for when staying at vacation properties. This home met and exceeded all our expectations in terms of quality, comfort, and attention to detail. This vacation was the best we’ve ever had, and it came at a time when we truly needed it after the passing of our beloved father just four months earlier. It provided the perfect setting for us to come together, create new memories, and find some solace and joy as a family. We cannot recommend A Beach Haven enough for any family looking for a wonderful, accommodating, and beautifully maintained place to stay. Thank you for making our much-needed vacation so special!
