Guest Feedback and Comments:
8/22/20 A Poem shared by N & T
A cottage home called Sunset Bay, Found on the web, a place to stay.
Reviews seemed great, so we took a chance, And all week long, have done a high-five dance.
Early morning coffee, warm breeze at the sound, Watched birds fish for breakfast, others fly around.
A cute little bunny hopped here and there, Only in the tall grass to disappear.
Topsail Steamer Bucket ~ took to heat & eat,Sat at your delightful table to feast on the seats.
Daily walks on the beach, swims in the waves, The most perfect place to spend our days.
Early evening front deck cold beers, Soon moved to back deck to view sunsets beyond compare.
We were tired and weary when we arrived from our trip,But cares and stresses washed away with each outside shower dip.
We love the warm cozy cottage feel, The artwork and adequate kitchen for our meals.
The inside bath was surely nice, But our favorite shower - outside is our advice!
One week here ~ sigh...we're grateful indeed, Thinking two weeks (don't want it to end) is what we need.
If we can come back, we will for sure.
Next time, with fishing poles and lure.
June 6 – June 13,2020 Danielle & John: This was the perfect little get away. We had a last minute idea to take some time off and are so happy we got a chance to stay here. Great house and great views!
July 4, 2020 The Carte Family: What a view! A great location and very comfortable home. We had a lovely relaxing ‘pandemic vacation in beautiful Topsail. Seriously….the view!
July 7, 2020 The Knight Family: Great week at a great place to stay. A very comfortable home and beautiful view. Hope we are able to visit again.
August 6, 2020 The Kirby's: We had a wonderful time at your beach house. So nice to get away with family. Not even Hurricane Isaias can dampen a stay at Sunset Bay.
August 8, 2020 Neil and Terri: Thank you for sharing your home and place, We sure enjoyed your special space. Very thankful!

Sunset Bay is a very relaxing house with everything you need to have a great time for a summer vacation! It is a very short walk to the beach and everything is provided for you ( chairs, coolers, umbrellas, and even toys for the kids!). It has been newly renovated and it looks great! My friends and I had an awesome time and definately want to come back!

This was our first time to Topsail and it won’t be our last! The beach cottage is perfect! Great views and easy walk to the pristine beach. We are so sad to have to leave 4 days early, but being evacuated due to Hurricane Dorian. Thanks s much to the Brown’s for sharing their awesome beach home with us.
