NTB526 Stress Free Zone

Large bedrooms. Plenty of room to relax. Beautifully decorated! Well stocked kitchen. Loved the surround sound in the living room. The deck speaker system was a big hit with everyone. We couldn't figure out how to turn on the stair/pool lights. Hot tub was really nice.

Beautiful home. Only recommendations is that a high chair be added to the house along with a mop so spills can be cleaned up easier. The kids found a lot of trash under their beds when we got there. over all awesome location and would rent again

Beautiful property with plenty of room and very clean! We especially appreciated having 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers in the kitchen! Great location right on the beach and right near the bridge back into town. Would highly recommend!!!

Well equipped, great location. Excellent deck furniture. Vacasa needs a better cleaning crew. Bathrooms and kitchen were not cleaned well and vacuuming was not done.

This is one else everyone said they would rent again. Lots of rooms and the kitchen literally has everything you will need and then some. We would rent this place again!

We have stayed in this house before, and it was just as well stocked and clean as before with lovely furniture and a great location. All would have been perfect but for the broken AC on the main floor and the elevator, which was not operational for virtually the entire week (it stopped working Monday and was never operational again after that). The local Vacasa folks tried hard to get things fixed, but every homeowner can understand that some things don't get fixed the first time or need a bigger fix than hoped. That was the case with both of these issues, which resulted in our dealing with repair folks multiple days for much of those days while trying to enjoy our vacation. It is no one's fault, but did negatively impact our experience.

My family and I have been vacationing in Topsail Beach for 20 years, and I can honestly say this was the nicest place in which we stayed. The decor was excellent, the common spaces were roomy, and the kitchen had everything you could need. The house has some of the best views of both the ocean and bay. Great place all around!

Our family of 15 had an excellent week at this beach house. Loved that everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. Very close to the beach. The hot tub was wonderful. We had everything that we needed. Would love to stay again sometime!

This house is about as close as you are going to get to perfect for its size. Kitchen is very well stocked, the oceanside decking is laid out very well and beach access is super easy with very few steps. Also the beds layout actually makes sense in the house, which is rare for rentals, well done Linda!!! I am a tech guy, so I also appreciated all of the house speaker system and surround sound in the living room. It was also nice having enough room at the dining table and living room for everyone. This was our first house with Vacasa and I was not impressed with their out of town support team, so I am not sure we will return to a house using Vacasa in the future. I finally got a phone number to the house's local support person and she made things happen! Also, make sure you check the downstairs ice maker before using it, it was full of mold when we arrived and did not use it!

I definitely went home stress free after staying in this home. The house is beautiful with the perfect ocean view and experience. When laying around the house, you can see and hear the ocean. After stepping onto the porch, you are a few steps from the beach. The house is stocked with beach chairs, activities, and sand toys. The kitchen is stocked with every appliance, utensils, and cutlery that you will need for a large family gathering. The house's décor is exceptionally coordinated throughout the house with the kitchen, dining are, and living room area the focal point of the house. The bedrooms are beach themed, contain extra blankets and pillows, the bed are comfortable, and each has it's own bathroom. I would definitely stay at the Stress Free Zone again.

We all loved the house and the location. Kitchen was well stocked with small appliances and kitchen “stuff.” Plenty of towels. We had a great time. Enjoyed every minute.

This is the perfect beach vacation home for big families. We had 11 adults and 4 children and there was plenty of room for everyone. The decor of the house was beautifully designed and the views in the front and back of the house were spectacular. We can’t wait to come again next year!

It’s a large house to fit a large group, and it’s kitted out to accommodate. Two refrigerators, two dishwashers, need I say more? The ice machine on the lower level got plenty of use, too. We enjoyed every inch of this house!

We have been renting houses on Topsail for quite a few years and found Stress Free Zone to be our favorite. The layout of the home was perfect for our families. The furnishings were beautiful and quite comfortable. We will certainly choose this house again for our family reunions.

We have been coming to North Topsail Beach for 15 years. We have stayed at this house for the last three years and love it! It accommodates large families with room for everyone to eat together and socialize/watch movies together in the living room! There is also enough places to go if you’d like to have some quiet time to yourself or read a book. The kitchen is well stocked and the views off the front and back porches are incredible! My biggest complaint would be that there is no right of refusal to book your return trip for the next year with Vacasa now managing the property. This made for a very stressful end of vacation as we had to frantically start looking for another house that would meet our needs within our budget. We tried to book this house again and we were told that it had already been booked by someone else. We’ve always had first right of refusal through Treasure Realty, but now we are searching to find another company that will honor first right of refusal so that we aren’t scrambling to find a different house every year!
