Decks were clean, just the right amount of tables and chairs, and well maintained. We were pleased with the kitchen supplies and could have family over from a neighboring unit with plenty of plates and cups for the whole crew, no matter the meal.

I have never stayed at a property that was so well equipped from the linens to the kitchen. The kitchen was so organized that it was easy to work in it and put things back in place easily. Everything for this property was A. The location was also great. Short walk to the pool and beach. My family commented about the beach being perfect. It was easy to get around for events, dining, etc.I would DEFINITELY book this property again. Heather was very attentive the few times I spoke with her. ##### Linda H.

Jul 6, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### This house has it all! First I’ll start by saying, I rarely take the time to write a review but do so when I’m really impressed with something, and this house was impressive! The owners have thought of everything which made our stay super enjoyable and stress free. We loved that the house rules required shoes off inside because we have little ones who still crawl and play on the floor, and it was nice to know that the floors were clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed including toddler forks, spoons, plates, cups, and bowls. This house also has an actual garage (not just a carport) which was really convenient when bringing beach toys and chairs in because we could leave it all downstairs safely stored. The garage was also stocked with 6 adult beach chairs and two kid beach chairs which meant one less thing we had to pack! The house is in a small cluster of houses so the beach wasn’t crowded at all - even on the Fourth of July. The house is technically “second row” but is directly across from the boardwalk to the beach so we could walk back and forth from the beach in less than 100 steps, and we could see our beach tent from the house which made it feel more like first row/beachfront. Highly recommended! We're already talking about booking again. ##### Mary B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa P. Jul 24, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Easy beach access, lots of space We stayed at Ry’s and Shine in mid July, and it was just what we needed! First let me say that Heather was extremely responsive to anything we asked, and we appreciated that. Sunday to Sunday rental means that you have the complex basically to yourself for most of the day on Saturday! -Space: The 6 of us had lots of space in the 5 bedrooms and bathrooms and in the spacious kitchen. Very pretty! Lots of stairs—we liked the workout, but know that the elevator is slow if you expect to be using it frequently. There is more furniture needed on several of the porches for them to be usable. There are tons of soft blankets, which made us all happy! -Kitchen: Great pots and pans and plastic storage. You will need to bring everything else, including salt and pepper. Needs potholders/oven mitts and better silverware. -Location in the complex: We could see if people were already in the pool (COVID restrictions of 8 in the pool, 20 total including on the deck, which was overall not an issue) and we could make sure that the kids got safely into the house from the pool. Great beach views for a second row home! -Beach: Access is easy. The sand is very soft and the waves were perfect for tweens on their boogie boards (we bought our own). The beach chairs were super. Nice to leave everything in the garage and hang up towels on the clothesline inside. -Food access: there isn’t much directly there, but the kids LOVED the takeout Cookie Skillet that we got from Splash by the Sea (hotel is basically next door. Seems to be undergoing renovations and didn’t have many guests but the restaurant was super popular). Papa John’s pizza delivery was quick. We picked up takeout from a Chinese and sushi place that was probably 10 minutes away. I would not recommend trying to get any food at the fishing pier. ##### Lisa P.

Aug 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing stay Rys and Shine was in a great location, with only a short walk to the ocean! It was our first time visiting Topsail and we found it to be low key and very relaxing. We stayed late on the beach several evenings and because the house had most everything we needed to cook our meals in, it was nice to take advantage of the extra beach time and not have to rush in and get ready to go out every night. The house was set up well, the beds were comfortable, and the rooms were decorated nicely but not overdone. The owner was very helpful and the checkin process was great! We didn’t take advantage of the pool much because we love the ocean, but if you are a pool person it was a nice area and it didn’t seem to be overly crowded when I passed by on the way to the beach Nice little community! ##### Ina Y.

We have been to many places in Topsail, and this was our favorite! The house was clean, host was super responsive to questions, location is great (short walk to the beach and pool), and the elevator was super helpful for getting luggage upstairs and for our older family members. I highly recommend staying here! ##### Melissa Z. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy S.

My wife two daughters, their husbands and our 3 grandchildren all loved the place. Although it wasn’t ocean from it was close the beach and the pool that the kids loved. We’ve stayed in Surf City previously and missed the closeness of a few of the available amenities and businesses but we made do. All in all it was a great week. My only issue is that “I” had to pay for it. I thought the price wa a little much for the property not being ocean front but I’ve been told I’ll be paying for it again next year!!😭😍 ##### Joseph L.

From the dedicated parking, to the spacious and well decorated inside, the multiple covered balconies with plenty of seating every where,, the pool and beach just steps away! Owner was very responsive and helpful! Would definitely stay here again! ##### Wray E. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dara J.

The property was perfect - the bedroom arrangements worked out great. Enough restrooms for each family with the powder room on the 3rd floor, was a bonus. Having a garage helped a lot with all of the beach stuff ~ chairs, sand toys, tent and cart...we were able to rinse everything off and letting them dry in the garage. We also set-up cornhole in the garage...giving us additional space. The hot tub was used by the four kids (two10 year old and two14 year old) ~ they loved it! The 3rd floor balcony (facing the ocean) was everyone's favorite spot in the morning. We always had a good breeze. The villas was decorated so CUTE and had everything you needed in the kitchen. We struggled a little with the keyless door but by mid-week everyone knew the phone number by heart. Heather the owner, was super easy to work with. Give us great detailed information about the Villas and additional suggestion on places to eat. Highly recommend this Villas!! ##### Dara J.

The house was clean, well taken care of, beautifully decorated, and best of all it was steps from the beach. We loved the convenience of coming and going to the beach throughout the day and enjoyed the ease of the pool for a quick cool off as well. The beach was beautiful, water was warm, and sand was soft. Heather was available whenever needed and was quick to help with any issues. Overall highly recommend! ##### Lauren P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren W.

The house has a great layout with fantastic views of both the ocean and the sound. It had 6 decks so you could have your private time. the eating and living space on the top floor was well done. All the bedrooms were nicely furnished and the house was very quiet. The pool and the beach were just steps away. This is the best beach house we have ever rented. ##### Andy B.
