In all the vacation homes we've rented throughout the years, this is, by far, the best! David is a wonderful host, very responsive to any questions or concerns. Checking in, the house was very clean. The kitchen is the most well equipped kitchen we've ever found in a vacation home. We do 100% of our cooking at the home while vacationing, and being a large family, there are items we regularly pack, as most homes are lacking. At this house, there are large pots, LOTS of eating utensils, plenty of measuring spoons and cups, mixing bowls, pans (even cast iron). And sharp knives! Electric mixer, good blender, great coffee maker, etc. Any kitchen item that we use regularly was provided. We were able to pack away a lot of items we brought from home (pots, knives, etc). I had read in the description that beach towels were provided, but we still packed a very large bag of towels. But that was also an item that was put back in the truck. There is a large cupboard full of beach towels!! And not cheap, flimsy towels! This is a very spacious house, plenty of beds, bathrooms, large couches, and a large dining table for all our evenings of games. We appreciated the lamps throughout the house, and the gas fireplace, which provided cozy evenings when the weather was cooler and rainy. Our first week, we had family in both sides, and loved the door on the deck connecting the two sides. We all agree that we have found a new home away from home on Topsail Island. Thank you, David!
