Perfect getaway in Surf City!
Missy and Joe were amazing hosts — the property was perfect for a long weekend with friends. Clean and tidy, had beach chairs etc for us to use as needed, and both were super responsive when we reached out with small questions. Would highly recommend and hope to stay there again someday!

Great spot for a long weekend
The home was just as described, very clean and comfortable. The owners were nice enough to leave an air mattress for us to use while we were there. The kitchen had everything we needed. It may be hard to cross the busy road to walk to the beach for a family with small children but for our crew it wasn’t too bad, even on the holiday weekend. We enjoyed the deck and the view. Very nice place!

What a beautiful hideaway!
My partner and I had a wonderful stay here. The home is so light and airy and beautifully appointed. The views of the Sound are stunning and worthy of a look anytime of day. Proximity to the beach is great, and the location is in a really convenient part of Surf City. Don’t pass on this one!

Jazz Get Away
Perfect location while attending the annual Ocean City Jazz Festival in July with my best friends and spouses. The townhouse was impeccable in all ways and including everything that we needed for a wonderful stay. The owners were accessible and available to make sure our stay was great. If you’re planning a visit to Topsail Island, NC, this is the place, except for the weekend of the Ocean City Jazz Festival, it might be taken☺️

Convenient Location
Place and location were perfect. Many amenities the others do not have. Bikes and Kayaks were a great touch. In all honesty, sitting on the porch overlooking the marsh and Intercoastal was worth every dime to me. Thanks for hosting!!

Surf Sound and Sunsets
Both the hosts and property are very welcoming. Many amenities and location make this property very convenient. Short walk to beach was not a problem especially when using the cart provided. Ending each day watching gorgeous sunsets over the sound from the properties many balconies. Was a favorite for everyone. Along with kayaking and exploring the sound before or after a fun day at the beach.

Girls Get Away
My 2 girlfriends and I took a long weekend away from the kids and our husbands to Surf City and this awesome townhouse! It had all the necessary amenities and had a great view of the bay and an easy walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. We got massages, enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub. A beautiful townhouse in a beautiful place. I highly recommend!

Gorgeous views!
This is a lovely, comfortable, and welcoming home in Surf City on Topsail Island, NC! The views from the upper and lower decks were magnificent! We literally spent hours sitting on the deck off the LR, in comfy chairs, talking, while looking and listening to all the wonders of the marsh and waterways. So peaceful and relaxing. The home itself was well appointed, had everything we needed, I’ve been to a couple of other rental homes which were almost bare and stark - not this home! It has warmth and personality, and you can tell it has been well cared for. We loved the beds and that there was a bathroom for each BR. House was super clean. And the owners, Joe and Missy, were so incredibly nice and kind, very helpful and responsive! It was a terrific place to stay, and would love to return :)

Review
Do not stay here if you are on the island for a wedding. We rented it for our own wedding and had the groomsman go to the house to have a few pictures taken outside beforehand. The neighbor (who must live there full time) came outside yelling using profanity that cars were parked illegally and they weren't allowed to be taking pictures outside. He actually called the HOA on the photographers car who was there only 20 min if that. Other than that the house itself was great and very updated. But unfortunately when you have terrible neighbors it makes me not want to stay there again or recommend it.

Wonderful!
We enjoyed our trip so much to this beautiful property! It was so nice to be close to both the beach and the intercoastal. We kept busy with fishing, kite flying, brewery visits, something for everyone. The sunsets from the decks were just gorgeous. The owners were very friendly and helpful.The house was so clean and fresh! We will definitely be coming back!

Last summer beach weekend
We met my sister’s family at the beach. We loved that the house was on the intercostal side but still only a few blocks from the beach. It was so peaceful sitting on the decks for coffee in the morning and watching the sunsets in the evening. The kitchen was fully stocked for us to cook our own meals. We used the kayaks to explore the area behind the homes. The hot tub was perfect!

Amazing!!! Will be recommending Lorsons Landing to everyone I know!
I have been coming to Topsail since my childhood and this is my favorite place that I have stayed! Extremely clean, beautiful scenery, short walk to the beach, and very friendly/responsive hosts. We had so much fun kayaking and relaxing in the hot tub as well. We actually ended up getting engaged on the dock that is used to launch the kayaks! Best vacation ever, looking forward to returning next summer!

We stayed here recently with family. Everything was great. The back porch overlooked the marsh and had stunning sunsets every evening. We met a few neighbors who were very friendly and made us feel welcomed. The hosts were also very friendly, responsive and accommodating. We would stay here again.

We had such a great stay. The hosts were so accommodating and made everything so easy from start to finish. The sunsets from the back deck were so beautiful and it’s just a short walk to the beach. Great location close to restaurants, coffee, ice cream, etc. as well. Highly recommend!!
