We loved our time at this beach house! It was very clean, lots of space, and the kitchen was stocked with many cookware items and accessories. Great view of the beach and the sound, and was very quiet. This was our second time staying at one of Sara’s properties, and we will definitely be back!

Nice place at N Topsail

The place was clean and easy to access. It was conveniently laid out. It has a great big open garage area stocked with kayaks and beach things and a fishing cart that was appreciated. Do have a copy of the tide chart if you're planning on kayaking from the attached dock

Great family stay!

We were very pleased with the amenities at the property! First, the kitchen was fully stocked with every tool we needed. But the real bonus is the beach and inlet supplies in the garage. We enjoyed use of the kayaks, paddle boards, beach chairs, etc. The outdoor shower was fabulous as we brought our dog and she needed washed after every visit to the beach. Overall, this is a fabulous place for a week at the beach!

One of the best!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a great location and beautifully decorated. I will point out there are sand spurs everywhere so our little doggie did have a “ ruff” time in that regard. But other than that small issue it was prefect and we will definitely be back!! I’ve been coming to topsail my whole life and this is one of My favorites this far ❤️❤️

Excellent property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Runnin’ Down A Beach! The property was clean and accommodated all our needs for our family. Short walk to the public access across the street. I will say there are quite a bit of stairs with this property, but was not an issue for us. The private dock and kayaks were a great amenity that we enjoyed. Owners are responsive and easy to work with. Would definitely visit again!

Family beach trip

We had a great time staying at Runnin' Down a Dream. The house was laid out nicely and the sunset view from the back deck was amazing! The bedrooms were nicely sized and fit 5 of us very comfortably. We really enjoyed launching kayaks and paddleboards off the private dock and my husband spent some hours out there fishing. it's so nice that the house has the river in the back and the beach right across the street! Something for everyone. We also really enjoyed the arcade table too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Running’ Down the Beach Bliss

Runnin’ Down the Beach is a fabulous 3 level beach house for active guests. The beach access is a short walk to a quiet, shark tooth finding beach. The views from the two decks are amazing at sunrise and sunset, ocean and bay. The sounds of the sea oats and the ocean are soothing. The house has EVERYTHING a guest needs: complete kitchen needs, kayaks and paddle boards with life jackets, charcoal grill, beach chairs and wagons, cold water outdoor shower and foot faucet, dock access to bay. Looking forward to our next visit!
