Wonderful beach retreat
Perfect destination for a spontaneous off-season visit to Topsail—great access to beach walking and a nice central location on the island. Please note despite the listing headline on the listing the pool does not open until April 1. This did not detract at all from a great time in a perfect little rental.

Family friendly!
We stayed with our two children (ages 6 & 8) and it was the perfect fit! It was kid friendly, easily accessible to the beach and pool and exactly as I had expected. I loved having access to the beach shed, this made traveling to and from the beach and pool so much easier. We were vacationing with a few other families who didn’t have this with their condo and we quickly realized how much of a benefit it was to our stay. Another thing that I loved was that we were provided with many of the essentials when we got there - i.e. toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, soap for the sinks, this was super helpful especially the first day when we hadn’t yet gotten to the store to purchase anything. Overall, it was a wonderful stay. I do think for families it is important to note that the beach is very busy, we got down there pretty early to put up our tent and save our spot. Also the tide goes very far up the beach, be aware of this if you leave anything down there, thinking you will come back later.

This property has all you’ll ever need, even down to a little spices for your beach cuisine if you dare to cook during your relaxation zone. Very cool, comfortable and clean. Best place I’ve ever stayed at and family thinks so too! I’ll be back again next summers end. Thank you Serenity by the Sea!

Quick Weekend Get-Away
The perfect place to visit catch some rest, read a book, enjoy the ocean or the pool. Wide range of people at the complex making it a great place to say hi or strike a conversation with a condo neighbot. The condo is supplied and has everything you would need. Short ride or walk to restaurants and shops. Cannot wait to return. The owner is gracious and answers your messages. This was our second visit and we plan on coming back.

Great experience! Gloria is wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and quick with response. The condo smelled clean and felt very clean when we arrived (my husband is very picky and hw was impressed!)! The host makes you feel very welcomed and goes above and beyond. The condo is very tastefully decorated and has comfortable living areas, everything was well marked and identified to make things easier. Short stroll to beach and pool. We hope to return soon!:)
