My family and I stayed here for a week and really enjoyed the property. It's a perfect location and quick access to the beach. Underneath is perfect for hanging a hammock and enjoying the summer breeze.
We had a great time! The pier was perfect for fishing and the close proximity to the ocean was nice. The house was clean and whimsically decorated. There were some technical issues with the TVs (none were working) and there was poison ivy around the parking area. But other than that… it was a wonderful vacation!!
house was nice, air stayed cool, showers and baths all adequate. Kitchen was fine.
yard was a disaster around the place. house was not clean, dusty and dirty in general. It worked as a beach house and we enjoyed the stay.
Ants, even brought some home as a souvenir.
About 1/4 of the window blinds were broken.
Goodwill quality kitchen pots and pans.
Refrigerator freezer didn’t, soft items from freezer, odd because ice maker made ice it just didn’t dispense it.
All of the DVD players were broken, not just the remotes.
Many lightbulbs missing or not working.
Had tornado warning 1st day, fortunately we were at house to bring plastic deck furniture into house after wind nearly blew it off. Heavier rusted deck furniture didn’t move.
Had to store personal kayaks and beach gear upstairs on 1st fl back deck to avoid exposure to street and possible theft.
Detector of some kind in master bedroom had no cover, wires exposed, obviously inoperable.
Someone needs to remove about 3/4 of random decorations starting with ALL of the tacky stuffed animals.
Washer and dryer worked but top of dryer is rusted.
Overall, the place provided all we needed. This rental is in desperate need of some updating, and upkeep. The refrigerator gets iced over and you have to unplug it to thaw so the fan runs again. The AC upstairs broke but property management came right out within the hour and fixed it. The walkway to the sound is overgrown. Downstairs TV cable never worked. Owners should invest in flat screen TV’S, as the box TV’s are dated. The comforters and sheets were clean and check in was a breeze. Nice big driveway for all cars and a boat.
“Sounds like fun” was just that, for our entire family of 5 plus our dog. Everything was as advertised and in a great location, especially if you like to fish.
We had a good experience! The rental company is amazing and very responsive!

Needs some TLC
The sound side location was good with close beach access as well. However, this property appears to have been neglected and could really use some TLC. Torn screens on the windows, broken patio furniture, rusted a/c vents and marks all over the walls just to start. We arrived to mildewed shower curtains and unwashed bath mats. I emailed the staff at the rental company for WiFi info which was not provided in the welcome info as indicated and when I finally received a response days later it wasn’t correct. We made the best of it but I would not recommend this listing.
Beach access fair. Blinds at all sliding glass doors were slightly damaged but operational. Good access for fishing in the sound.

House in poor shape
Poor up keep on house and yard. Junk stored underneath. Decking board nails sticking up, screen torn. House shares 2nd floor deck, not good for dogs. No blind on back door so anyone staying next door could peek in. House needed painting inside badly. Had ants inside on countertops. Beds were without any doubt the worst ones I ever slept on. The spiral staircase to the master bed was hard to climb and descend. TV’s were super small. Had trouble with the master bedroom remote. Loved the Topsail beach area and restaurants.
This is our second year in a row to visit Sounds Like Fun and we LOVE it. We really love being able to take our dog with us :). GREAT location too!

Did not realize that there would be so many stairs. Beds were not comfortable. The kitchen was really well stocked. Glad there was a bathroom on every floor. Location was good.

Great location, outdated interior
The location of this house is really hard to beat. Having the dock on the inter coastal in the back and being right across the street from the beach is awesome. The interior is dated, could have used some updated kitchen utensils such as a regular skillet, tongs, etc. The beds/bedding is also pretty old but the space itself is nice. I also wish it had an outdoor shower, it would have helped cut down on the amount of sand tracked in the house. I would go back if for nothing else than the amazing location.
