Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Topsail Beach

We had a great stay here! The location in proximity to the beach access and walkable to restaurants was a big plus for us. The communication and responsiveness was so appreciated! The house itself matched the pictures and there were so many thought out details and amenities already provided. Thank you!

Our stay was great from beginning to end. Host was very responsive with any questions I had. Space was great for my fur baby it was perfect for him. Will definitely be visiting again!

We loved everything about the home and location. The pool table and river brought a lot of laughs and memories made. The hosts were helpful and very responsive. We had an amazing time and thankful for the opportunity to stay in this beautiful home.

If we could give more than 5 stars we would. It is not over exaggerated to say Paulas place was the nicest Airbnb we have stayed in over the years. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished (as if intior designed) and very comfortable to stay in. But our biggest compliment was that the house contains absolutely everything you could need. A real home from home. The kitchen was very well equipt with gorgeous glassware and even a boiling tap, and there were even towels and a beach umbrella for our beach day in the pantry! to top it off it's a 10 minute walk to downtown and 25 minutes drive to the beach!

This is our second visit in this beautiful house. Everything you need for small kids and the island is one of our favorite places! Great hosts! Great house! We will be back.

Couldn’t ask for a better location. Gorgeous views of the ocean, easy access to the beach, walk to grocery stores and restaurants. The bottom of the house is basically a big sandbox that our 4 year old and dog could play in all day. Peaceful and relaxing vacation. We’d stay here again!

My family and I enjoyed staying at the Relaxing Retreat. It was very nice, relaxing and quiet. The beds were comfortable. It was in a great location, close to restaurants, stores and Camp Lejeune Wilson Gate. I will stay here again when visiting Jacksonville.

The house is in the perfect location for sun rises, shopping, dinning, and beach access. Just far enough away from the pier to not be crowded. My wife walked the beach looking for sharks teeth each day for about an hour. She brought home 253 teeth and a bunch of beautiful shells. This made her extremely happy! We enjoyed our stay and John's place offered us the perfect spot for celebrating our 23rd anniversary, and 27 years of being together. John gave us great recommendations on places to eat, and things to do while visiting Surf City. We will be bringing the family back in August.

Very nice place to stay! Would def stay again. Private and perfectly located in safe neighborhood.

Our stay was just the getaway we needed! Lary’s place was extremely clean and comfortable! the outdoor space and landscaping were spectacular, it felt like being at a resort. the neighborhood was quite and relaxing, however not walkable to town as there are not many side walks. definitely rent a bike or a golf cart!

Staying at this beautiful Airbnb overlooking the Cape Fear River was delightful! From the moment we booked, the communication was flawless—responsive, friendly, and the guidebook was incredibly helpful. Every question we may have had was answered. The host went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and prepared for our trip. What really sets this stay apart is the impeccable attention to detail. From the cozy, well-appointed decor to the thoughtful touches everything was clearly chosen with care and intention. You can tell the host genuinely wants guests to have the best possible experience. This Airbnb is the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and convenience. We’re already planning our next visit.

This Airbnb has so much charm and character! The kitchen was stocked with all the spices and condiments we needed, especially for cooking seafood. There are so many little activities included. For example; a sound system, card games, and outdoor equipment (chairs, skim board, shovel). Sam is a wonderful host, very attentive. One evening, a small situation came up and he responded to our message immediately. In fact, he showed up to help at 11 pm! We truly enjoyed our stay. Wrightsville is such a special place. I highly recommend staying here if you are ever in town!

Wonderful place , i will be back soon

We booked for a weekend trip to explore Wilmington and have a get away! Our trip was great as the airbnb was conveniently minutes to downtown, Ubers were easy to book. We plan on staying here yearly! It’s so nice to find great hosts who were very accommodating and responsive.

Was there for work on Camp Lejeune. Great location, close to base. Would highly recommend staying here if in the area. Brianna is very responsive and proactive in communicating. Would stay here again if available on future projects.

Outstanding location. Easy access to Topsail and Wilmington. Beautiful layout and will return. Everything you needed or possibly wanted was there. Extremely friendly.

Had a wonderful, restful time during our stay. The views were amazing and we spent most of our time on the porch and by the pool. A little tricky with the tide and our boat, but didn’t take long to navigate along with clear instructions provided by the host. Would definitely stay here again!

We had such a lovely time staying at this property in Carolina Beach! The home was beautiful, clean, and bigger than expected. It was so peaceful waking up and having coffee overlooking the ocean! We loved the private boardwalk to the beach - which was such a short distance and perfect with two littles (especially when we forgot something or it was naptime). The elevator was a hug plus with strollers. This is the type of rental we’d come back to year after year! Thank you!

John and his co-hosts were amazing! Immediately upon arrival we were welcomed as family. They really went above and beyond in every aspect. The place was cleaned to perfection and there was so much to do! We were able to schedule an animal tour the same day, grill outside using their supplies and really relax as much as possible. Our room featured a private balcony and bathroom, but really the entire property should be highlighted. The hosts recommended beaches and restaurants for us to enjoy, and as we were checking out, John let us know that he was preparing breakfast for us as well! We were able to leave this amazing place with a full belly, homegrown fruits and veggies, eggs, and great memories. We will be back to visit for sure. Thanks again John B., John M, and Diana.

Words can’t express how much I enjoyed staying at John’s place. It was an amazing experience we will NEVER forget. It was by far my favorite bnb and I’ve stayed at a couple of Airbnbs. It’s close to the beach but it didn’t really matter because we wanted to spend all our time on his property. It was clean and there’s a ton of rooms in the villa! It is decorated so nice and the exotic animal farm he has is amazing! We stayed during the 4th of July and he had food waiting for us in their beautiful outside kitchen when we got back! You won’t want to leave the property. The pool was great and the rooms and bathrooms are so clean! I can’t wait to stay at their place again! I loved every second and they were all extremely responsive. They had fresh eggs and tomatoes that I brought home. Book your stay! You won’t regret it.

I decided last minute that I needed a getaway with some relaxation and an stress-free time. John’s place popped up to the top of the results list. I had never booked anything where you shared space but I decided to give it a try because of the good reviews and the fact that my husband’s name was John. I just felt like it was ok and safe. I’m glad I decided to try it. Both John’s and Diana were super sweet and so helpful.The house is beautiful.The rooms have top of the line bedding and beautiful decor. The kitchen was stocked with some food and John cooked several times for people. I’ve never had that at a place before so that was so helpful on saving some money with eating out. Plus they had garden tomatoes so I enjoyed like 10 tomato sandwiches.The animal tour was so cool. It was amazing to me to see how many animals , especially birds. It was really impressive; feeding the lemurs lollipops & holding the baby wallaby, Casper, was really cool.i highly recommend!! I will be back. Thanks

Honestly an amazing experience, even when you see the price you get the experience to match, in the best of ways. An amazing room with a fantastic shower and John was extremely friendly the entire time! There was a great welcome book with clear instructions. we had a great breakfast with farm fresh eggs provided by the host. The animals were beautiful and we loved the tour that was included.
