March Madness

The property was just as described. Very comfortable and clean. The beds were very comfortable and made on arrival. Great ocean views from the upper deck. Nice amenities for the stay and dealing with owners was very pleasant and easy. Would definitely recommend the beach house again. Very happy with our stay in North Topsail.

Dog friendly clean beautiful home with great views and lots of extras

The Sand Castle is steps from the beach. The views are beautiful from anywhere in the home or on the decks. The home was very clean and communication with the hosts was great. We appreciated the extras provided like beach chairs, umbrellas, and bicycles. The laundry room was also a bonus. This was our first time to North Topsail. We loved that this home and the beach were dog friendly. Both were a great fit for our family. I would stay here again and will recommend it to our family and friends.

Sand Castle 2023

The house was wonderful, clean and there were thoughtful touches like coffee and chocolates already available when we got there. Very nice selection of beach gear and the outdoor showers are super nice for after beach de-sanding. There was a little handbook with info on restaurants and some binoculars there as well. There is no outdoor grill--the grill available is a small indoor electric so large grilling is not really possible but kitchen is very nice and we all settled into cooking for 9 pretty well! Nice stock of pans, toaster, really everything you might need. Beach access is great--literally two houses down so you don't need to cross a major street to get there. You do need a car to get to stores for groceries... There was an add for the island donut place on the fridge--a must eat! Would definitely recommend-thanks for a wonderful vacation!
