10/10 Excellent
"Our first trip to Topsail Island and Surf City and our experience with Paragon and with the Salty Pineapple was simply fantastic. The condo is roomy and very tastefully decorated (also some fun pineapple tchotchkes throughout) with quality furnishings and a fabulous deck with a straight-on ocean view. A/C, TVs and Internet all worked flawlessly. The condo was very clean and well organized. A real surprise and unexpected benefit is the wonderful countertop icemaker that makes the great pebble ice -- it was a treat and we never had to buy ice for our water bottles. We only stayed for four nights, but it was perfect for our family of four (with two late teens) last-minute vacation. Great location, easy parking and just a short walk through the courtyard to the beach. The complex pool is also huge and nice and the staff were friendly and attentive. I'm actually a little sad I didn't get to speak with anyone at Paragon, but that's because the booking, follow-up and check-out was so easy, and was completely online that I never needed to contact anyone. Based on our experience, I highly recommend this property and offer kudos to the owners and management for doing it right!"

"Great access to the beach, and pool just off the beach was wonderful. Spacious rooms and ample space for our family - nice open concept kitchen and living room on one floor was great for family time and bedrooms on separate floors to keep noise down/separate. Plenty of kitchen appliances and cooking supplies. Having two dishwashers and fridges was a bonus! Kids loved the pool table room in the basement. We enjoyed all the porches overlooking the ocean on one side and sound on the other of the house. It is a quieter, family friendly beach but still places nearby to enjoy - good restaurants, local spots to shop, cafes, turtle rescue, mini golf, etc. We would definitely recommend this house to others!"
