Great little condo!
Amazing view of the beach and 1 minute walk to the beach! We loved the location! The property is cute and cozy. The kitchen cooking items are a bit outdated but overall a great place! The bed was comfortable and having 2 full baths was super nice! We loved our vacation and would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful trip.
My family of five really enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean and cozy. The beds were so comfy. We had a great view of the sunrise and beach. It was a great location for a relaxing family vacation. The pool was clean and so nice. Quick trip down the steps and we were on the beach. It was our first time visiting Topsail and we fell in love. Thanks!

Nice view
Nice condo with good spaces. Very clean. Great view of the ocean and a large balcony. Unfortunately we couldn’t use it much due to chain smokers on an adjacent balcony but nothing you can do about that. The listing said it came with sheets but then it didn’t come with sheets so we paid extra for them.

Quick trip to North Topsail island
We fully enjoyed our trip to North Topsail! The condo was clean and easily to access! The patio doors need fixing but the rest of the unit was perfect. We would love to return.

Great getaway
We had a wonderful time at this condo. It appears that everything has been recently updated and is nice and new and clean. My kids love the large pool at this property, as well as how easy is is to get on and off the beach. Great sunrise view from the deck. Only suggestion is that the mattresses in the second bedroom could really use an update or an upgrade.

Everything was great! Clean, roomy,quiet, and kitchen has great glasses dishes and cookware and flatware. You do have to bring paper products,soap and dishwasher liquid. Also, towels and sheets were rented and they were adequate. Would stay there again.

Holiday Weekend Frustration
First visit to Topsail after watching a Beach Hunters episode that painted a beautiful picture of the island. Upon arrival to Ships Watch we found no available parking at the facility, which was rather large with a large parking lot. Although the after hours attendant was a big help & was in constant contact after we brought this issue to her attention, we were assured that towing would occur for those vehicles without a parking pass. Problem was, we didn’t even have a parking pass yet & feared being towed if we did find parking. The previous guest accidentally turned the parking passes and pool passes into the main office upon their departure, however, the office did bring them to us while we were at the grocery store. After circling the parking lot for a half hour the night we arrived. we were told we had permission to park in the only open parking space which was for maintenance. As happy as I was to hear that, another vehicle was sitting in that spot & was on the phone with the manager who was also telling that person to park in the maintenance parking spot. Luckily that person decided to pull out of the spot and gave it to us. By morning there were only two spots open which made me wonder if towing really occurs. Needless to say we were afraid to leave the property out of fear of not being able to find parking again. It became obvious once Tuesday arrived that most of the holiday visitors were gone and there was ample parking after all. We did not do our research. We were also disappointed at the lack of restaurants as well as the lack of entertainment & attractions. That one is on us. The unit we stayed and looked clean on the surface however upon reclining the sofa and the loveseat it was obvious that surface cleaning is all that was done. Halfway through the week the battery in the smoke detector went bad causing the detector to constantly beep. We remove the battery and was unable to find another 9 V in the facility. We texted the after hours number but got no response. We decided to cut our visit short and leave the next day and called the after hours number in the morning upon our departure to once again inform them of the faulty battery in the smoke detector. Heavy rain and storms were in the forecast, however, we understand weather is unpredictable. If your ultimate vacation is simply to sit at the beach and not leave the grounds of your facility, Topsail would be an ideal location for you. Just not our ideal vacation.
