Great location, house needs a little love
Couldn't ask for a better spot in Surf City. We walked the beach and the street to stores, dinner, and ice cream. The beach was private and quiet. The porches provide great view of the ocean and sunsets. The home could use a good cleaning and a few updates. There are books everywhere, so storage is a bit tricky. In its prime, I'm sure it was a gem. We enjoyed our stay.

Great spot for a family
The house was clean, plenty of room and has everything you'd need. It's within walking distance to shops, restaurants and the pier. We had a very nice meal at Daddy Mac's and the folks who run the pier are very welcoming people.

Amazing Views and Floorplan
The furninshings were older but comfortable and cozy. The beds were comfy, too. The views from all 3 decks were fantastic and you can see both sunrise and sunset each day. Highly recommended for ocean lovers traveling with pets.

Turtle Point Stay
This is an older house with a unique design. The furniture is comfortable however it is outdated. The deck and stairs have been updated with weather proof materials. The beds were comfortable and adequate for our family of nine. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of room for our groceries. Having starter packs of soaps, paper towels and toilet paper is an added convenience. There is an outside faucet for rinsing off, however there is no enclosed outside shower. The house is conveniently located on the beach with a relaxing view of the ocean from the decks.

Disappointing
The location is great and the home does have a beautiful deck with great views. We were disappointed in the cleanliness of the home and with Vacasa’s response time when concerns came up. A text response came via text at 2AM on one occasion. The home was not well supplied - there were not enough glasses or cups for a group of 9 (plenty of plates though!)

Wonderful house
Definitely an older home with less amenities than newer or renovated options. However, I loved the layout of this house and the good use of space. Tons of storage in the kitchen and bathrooms. Huge dining table and comfy living room furniture. New modern decking on the stairs and porches. Lots of stairs! No TVs in the bedrooms. Loved listening to the waves from every room in the house.

Thanksgiving stay
Overall, great spot that is ideally located, with beautiful views, directly on the beach. Certainly needs many updates, but good value for the price. Next time we will read more closely re: steps. This house is a chocked full of steps.

Wonderful family vacation
The house was perfect for our family. We vacation each year with our 3 adult children so they each had their own room. The downstairs living room was exactly the right size to give the kids their own space. The kitchen was plenty big for all of us at the same time. Location of the house was great!

Great views of the ocean.
Property is dated but comfortable. The washer and dryer worked. That's the best I can say about them. The property was cleaned, but not really clean. We both got splinters from the wood railing, More steps than shown in pics. Pic is of the ocean side, not street side. We enjoyed our stay just to get away and relax, but we would not rent this property again.

Great Oceanfront, dog-friendly home!
If you're looking for an affordable, dog-friendly oceanfront home with great outdoor space, this is it! We are a party of two with our beloved fur-baby and we did not want to stay in a tiny single room or condo with partial view. Trying not to break the bank, it was challenging to find an oceanfront home in central Surf City/Topsail, that offered a large deck and an open family room/Kitchen. I read all the reviews, realize the house was dated and that I may need to spot clean to my liking, but the price was right, so I booked the Turtle Point home and am happy I did! Pro's: LOCATION & PRICE. Centrally located and the beach is in great shape at this location. Tucked off the main busy road, it was quiet and safer for walking the dog. This home has great bones including a large composite upper deck off the main family room. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure was great in the shower. Grateful that there was an outdoor hose/shower head, direct access to beach from the lower deck, washer/dryer and we loved the rocking chairs. Fantastic direct ocean views from the large windows/slider in the family room and Western views from the smaller deck on the front side of the home. Now the CONS... I am particular as far as how I clean, what I bring for comfort and knowing that this is a dog-friendly home that hosts many guests non-stop. This home is in demand year-round, so it's got to be challenging to give Management and the cleaning service time to do a deep clean in between guests, but it really needs a deep clean and a few updates. I recommend bringing an extra step out bath towel or two if that is important to you. I always pack extra hangers, house shoes/slippers, favorite wine glasses/ TERVIS/YETI, back up sheets/dish towels/extra soap/laundry supplies/Clorex wipes as I tend to clean more than the avg. guest, but that's me and I expect it & do it knowing it makes me feel better. ***PAY ATTENTION to the check-in rules regarding the "Anderson door" - how it unlocks and how you need to lift up the handle etc. Also note that you can easily get locked out unless you undo the auto-lock feature after the front door has been locked. Test the door handle before shutting the front door as you can easily lock yourself out. For the value, this house is great. Just know it's not going to be the Taj Mahal, but it was just what we needed for the price and we were happy we made Turtle Point our home away from home. Cheers and happy vacation home shopping!

Great Location!
The location of the beach house was fantastic and I also liked that it wasn't a duplex or triplex because it afforded some privacy. With newer beach homes, I always feel like everyone is right on top of each other. Very dog friendly. Would stay again.

Beautiful location
Our family (and dogs!) loved the location of this home. The beach views were lovely and you could hear the waves from the master bedroom. Decor was nice. Kitchen inventory could use some bolstering (older pans, need more silverware and glassware). Had a wonderful stay

Very unpleasant Stay
Spent 5 days and 5 nights without A/C not a pleasant experience with the hot weather we had. TV was almost impossible to operate could not find any local stations and house had more stairs than I remember seeing in the pictures of the house. So might stay was not pleasant at all.
