My stay was great. The owners clearly love this property as more than just a rental and it shows.

Great Stay!

My daughters and I visited the Scooby Shack a few weeks ago and loved every minute of our vacation. The house was just as described in the listing. We hope to stay there again.

Early fall trip

We had a great week at the Scooby shack! The beach on this end of the island was not crowded and access was easy. We look forward to staying again someday!

Beautifully decorated, close to the beach, and clean!

The unit was exactly as described. We really enjoyed our visit. The location is a short drive from the restaurants/shops in Surf City. We were a little confused on how to access the beach, but the path is right across the street and closer than we originally thought. All in all a great property and visit.

Good location and wonderful host.

We had a wonderful time at the Scooby Shack. Easy check in and check out. Easy access to the beach and just a short drive to dining, entertainment and grocery store. One item I’d note if you are traveling with adults is the bunk beds are tight for tall adults. Lovely place. Thanks Tara!

Weekend Getaway!

My daughter and I have been coming to Topsail for years, but our stay at the Scooby Shack was more than amazing! We wanted a weekend getaway with our dog, and this was definitely the best spot. The property was spotless, and was a short walk from the beach. This place is so cute and we felt like we were at home! There is a front and back porch that is perfect to enjoy a snack or takeout dinner. We definitely will be coming back to stay here!

Fantastic Topsail beach “shack”!!!

So happy we discovered the Scooby Shack on VRBO! The house was clean, tastefully furnished and decorated, and has the perfect layout. We ate lunch on the back deck every day and did not have to worry about our dogs because of the puppy/baby gate. Beach access was so easy! King size bed was wonderful! Dining table was big enough to do a 1000 piece puzzle on! The Scooby Shack checked all the boxes for us!

Wonderful!

This beach cottage was adorable and it was perfect for our family of 3 plus our dog. We loved the decks, outdoor shower, area under the house and the close beach access. The extra 1/2 bath was great to have and I was really impressed with how everything was organized in a small area. The home does not feel small. We honestly wanted for nothing during our trip. Tara has thought of pretty much everything. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a great trip!

Perfect Stay!

Our stay at the Scooby Shack was just perfect. The condo was very clean and full of charm. We went to the beach for most of the weekend - it was a very short five minute walk. It was awesome to have the outdoor shower to use after the beach to ensure we did not track sand upstairs. We really enjoyed several of the restaurants in Surf City - Shaka Taco, Topsail Steamer, The Daily Grind, and Sear’s Landing. Thank you Tara for your hospitality and for sharing your lovely condo with us! We cannot wait to return again!

Excellent experience

The Scooby Shack is as quaint and cozy as portayed in the photos. Great use of space- every nook and cranny is used to optimal efficiency. The king bed is very comfortable. The kitchen has everything we needed, and its nice to have sheets and towels provided. It's quick and easy to get to the beach. We were so happy to be able to bring our cockapoo, and she felt very comfortable there. We definitely will stay there again if we return to NorthTopsail.

Best vacay in the perfect place!!💚🐾💚

My husband and I brought our two mini schnauzers with us on vacation to this perfect place!!! We were so comfortable at the Scooby Shack with our girls!! It was very peaceful and this beautiful place literally had everything we needed! Communication with the host was always great, and we no issues whatsoever with our stay!! We truly had the best vacation here and are so thankful to have found this place!! The walk to the beach was an easy 3-4 minute walk, and we so appreciated the chairs there that we were able to take to the beach with us!! I give the Scooby Shack 100 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved it!

My pup and I really enjoyed our stay at The Scooby Shack! This rental was super clean, beautifully remodeled, and exactly as shown on the VRBO listing. The front and back decks made for a perfect spot to soak up some sun when we weren’t on the beach. The beach was a quick walk down a path to the private neighborhood access. The location is far enough north to be quiet and away from the busier parts of the island, but still close to great food and activities. Tara was quick to respond to any questions and very welcoming! We loved the relaxing vacation and will definitely be back to The Scooby Shack!

Will return

We absolutely loved our stay at the scooby shack! This was our daughters first beach trip - the house is just a few steps away from the trail that takes you on the beach - easy enough out 3 year old did it daily with a little toy backpack and no whining (what a win!). The house was perfect for our family of 4 and our dog. The outdoor shower was a HUGE win for our family and helped us not bring in so much sand. The double entry to the house was excellent at night when our kids were asleep and we were still up so we didn’t have to disturb them. Tara was so helpful with recommendations on the island as well. Excellent relaxing vacation, perfect for a young family.

Gem of a stay in North Topsail

What a great little property with ALL the amenities included!! Linens ✔️bath towels ✔️ beach towels ✔️ air conditioning to freeze the Lut Desert ✔️ hot water to sterilize your micro biome ✔️ WiFi throughout even on decks ✔️ plenty of parking ✔️ indoor full tub, outdoor shower, beach supplies, stocked kitchen… ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ The list goes on and on…and don’t get me started on the beach access— right across the street— as in walk off the back deck across the small yard and cross the street to enter the beach path!! Property employs a great economy of space although the bunk style beds might be more comfortable for youth than full size adults. The Scooby Shack has TWO decks and is a hop skip and a jump to the beach so the smaller sleep areas were no issue for us—we were too busy enjoying everything outside! The complex across the street has two restaurants and an ice cream shoppe. You could not be better situated to disappear on a beach vacay and have everything right at hand! Recommend this property and would love to return!!! (read the description so you see the compact layout - king bed is a BIG bed but the bunks are smaller - fit a 5’8” medium build adult but the 5’10” was a bit cramped) Side note-*there is a fire house next door— heard a siren/horn or two during the stay but nothing excessive or disruptive

Spring 2023 get away

Property was spotless. Out of all the properties that we've stayed in, this was by far the cleanest and nicest, best appointed beach property we have ever rented. Great location easy to access. Very quiet and neighbors were friendly. Hopefully we will rent again this fall.
