Great pet-friendly location

We had a nice stay. Deck to walk out to beach was nice. Decks are close to neighbors, so if it is a busy week, your space will be limited. This is our favorite neighborhood in Topsail to stay in. House was open and felt inviting and homey. Beds are out dated. There is no where for pets to potty by the house so you have to walk them down the drive way. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the house was nice.

Disapointing

The house did have the advertised number of rooms but it needs a lot of work to make it hospitable. Not recommended.

Great dog friendly beach house

The location is great, there was almost no one on the beach we had it all to ourselves. Big beautiful sandy beach with great waves for boogie boarding. Nice to have an unpretentious, dog friendly house with its own beach access.

Whale Den Great Vibes

We stayed at the Whale Den to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family. The house has a great beach vibe, relaxing, clean and enough room that we could be together and yet sleep well in our own space.

Super fun family vacation

We loved the Direct beach access. The space was perfect for separating kid and adult activities. The outdoor shower was a huge hit with the little boys in our group. We were pleased to find the kitchen was better supplied than the listing made it out to be.
