Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Srikanth S. Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Amazing experience overall. We book a rental at Top Sail every year for atleast two weeks during summer, and by far this was the best property we have lived in so far. Everyone from our kids to our parents had a great time. ![View from the deck and yes thats our 100 lb GSD taking in the ocean breeze](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/81d800f2-6b04-48a6-ad2b-2e48a36ec0c8-1753892640790.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Milkway from the upstairs master bedroom deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c7540590-7d24-4e6b-bbed-ecfe82c87c15-1753892683441.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beach view from the walkway](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a8d9fc4f-7e1a-406f-9db5-643007ac2243-1753892684121.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Pristine beach](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4190e70c-b6f1-4b6c-ae61-82bf72da80d5-1753892684040.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Srikanth S.
