Aug 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful view We loved staying right on the beach and the porch was nice. Loved the location. Close to the pier and downtown. If it had a washer and dryer, we would definitely stay here every year! ##### Nicole H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### bonnie g. Jul 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very easy and comfortable We enjoyed the beach cottage. Very convenient to beach a bit dated but everything worked well and so nice to be able to be right on the beach ##### bonnie g. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### James R. Jun 27, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Beachfront The stove has one burner that is not working. Some of the dishes were obviously not clean so we washed everything when we got there. Lots of sand in the house. Love the location and the house was great other than what I mentioned. We definitely left the house cleaner than we found it. ##### James R. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristi C. Aug 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### On the beach!!! The house was in a perfect location for us. The weather was perfect!!! It was as pictured on the site so we knew it was a little dated but not a big deal for us. The biggest issue/ but not a huge issue was the sliding door to go on the deck was super hard to open & close and there was no screen so we couldn’t just leave it open. There is a raised spot in the middle of the house that runs the length of the house even onto the deck so we did trip a few times but we also have a few not so grace people in our group. None of that hurt our stay in the slightest. ##### Kristi C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RACHEL P. Jun 29, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Surf City Gem There's plenty of room and it is so close to the beach.

Jul 7, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Always a great time Topsail has never disappointed. Nice cottage feel to this property. ##### Chris G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mooxie M. Jun 9, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great ocean front 3bd in Surf City Good value and great peaceful location. Nearly private beach but 3 minute drive to retail near the pier. Good size porch overlooking the Atlantic. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Mix of new and old decor won't impress anyone but is very functional and comfortable. Newer furniture in the open family room. Nice having two full baths. Plenty of parking. Had a small charcoal grill. Did not have any beach chairs or sand toys. Rental agency interaction was friendly and helpful. ##### Mooxie M. Stayed 7 nights in May 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nikki W. Aug 22, 2018 #### No bunk bed on property The cottage was great other then the fact that the description online says The Choice has a queen, two fulls and a bunk bed. The only reason I rented it is because the description says it sleeps 8. This is not true. It only sleeps 6. 2 of our kids had to sleep on the couches in the living room. Their was no bunk bed in the cottage. Other then that we enjoyed our stay on the island as always. Surf city is my favorite place but I won't be renting the choice again. ##### Nikki W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Adam W. Jul 11, 2018 #### Nice little cottage - oceanfront 👍🏽 The house is nice. Double parking driveway. Hard to see to get out due to shrubs being overgrown. Makes backing out very dangerous. The beach is very nice in that area and having the deck access to the surf is very convenient. Spray off shower and hose on deck helps getting sand off from the beach. Overall, a nice place to stay. ✌🏽 ##### Adam W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph P. Jun 25, 2018 #### Great beach and house! More room than appears in the photos, which is great! There IS a dishwasher, unlike is stated online. Two full baths, which is also not really apparent in the photos, it seems more like a bath & a half. We loved our week in The Choice! ##### Joseph P.
