After a fun day on the beach, clean up is easy with the outdoor shower. You can soak up the sun on one of the many decks or cool off with a dip in one of two salt water pools located on the oceanfront deck.

We have been vacationing at Topsail Island for 14 years and this home is, in our opinion, the best house yet. The location is great, within walking distance to restaurants, shops and Surf City pier The ocean views are breathtaking. Plenty of room to hang out together as a group or retreat to your room. We enjoyed the theater room for watching football games and movies.
We will return in 2025.

Big Blue was ideal for our large and growing family. We used all 10 rooms and almost every bed with our 26 people including 4 toddlers. The house was nice and clean and a great place to spend time together.

Great location and accommodations for our group — three generations ages 12-85 yrs and 7 families. There was plenty of space for gathering and cooking meals. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. The theater room worked out great, not only for watching movies but also for yoga and work outs. We loved the proximity to the beach, shops, and restaurants. This was our first visit to Top Sail Island, and it worked out great for everyone traveling in from different locations (California, Colorado, and Virginia).

Our entire family had the blessing of sharing one home under one roof for an entire week! So many memories were made during our time at Big Blue. Our family has been taking an annual beach trip every year for at least 18 years. As our family grows, our beach house gets bigger! Big Blue was the best house so far....loved the extra features of the two pools, the pool table, and the amazing theater. We had more than enough room to accommodate everyone. The kitchen and family room was where we all got together for meals and family time. I honestly got lost in the house several many bedrooms and hallways! Was wonderful for all the grandchildren (11 that are all 6 and under...with a 12th on the way!) to "do life" together with all the cousins, aunts, uncles, Grandpa, and JoJo. We don't have one negative thing to share here. We will reserve this home as often as we can for our annual family beach vacation. Landmark Realty was terrific to work with before and during our Topsail Beach stay. *Thanks for the memories*

We had 16 friends and family from AR, FL, MO , & NC. We celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, & just being together. Have booked for 2024. Big Blue is in the perfect location (beach, parking, shopping, dining). The fully equipped kitchen makes meal prep for large groups a breeze. Big plus for our group is bathroom in every bedroom. Landmark is very customer oriented and stands ready to try and take care of any property issues. Thank you Big Blue property owner and Landmark for offering such a great vacation rental.

We had a wonderful time at our first stay at Surf City. The location , beach wise, is hard to beat! There is a very loud live music place ( Scallywags) that faces the garage side bedrooms that plays music till 11, which made it hard for little children in our party to sleep. The elevator was not functioning but rental group addressed that with us appropriately. Its a great house full of amenities that we all enjoyed and a perfect place for large families . Kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need . Pricing is very fair compared to other beaches we have been to . Wd had a great time .

Note: Be very careful with all railing areas with small children , some of them are loose and house definitely needs some repair with those areas .

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and the house! We will be sure to address the deck railing issues you mentioned, and hope to welcome you back again soon!

This is our second time staying at Big Blue. If you like to be close to restaurants, grocery stores and all the excitement you’ll love it here. The house is perfect for our family although the family room area is quite small for the number of people. But we don’t spend much time inside so it’s sure not a deal breaker. The beds were super comfortable and there were lots of pillows! It’s nice to have the linens and towels all there for us as our family traveled from all over the country to gather. There’s a neat bar right across the street if you like the nightlife. However they do have live music until 11 or so on the weekends which may keep you from sleeping. Landmark responded quickly to all our requests. I would highly recommend this place for your large family gatherings!

Manager's Response

Thank you Lisa, we look forward to having your family back again in the future!

Middle Age Dad Review

Pros: Amazing location. A 30 second walk to a great Taco Joint. Only 3 blocks to the local grocery. Live music nearby most nights with no driving. Great views of ocean and sunset on that top walk. Lots of flexibility in rooms. Probably the least required work to leave a beach rental we have enjoyed. Huge kitchen that was able to feed our 26 nightly without issue. THE GRILL WAS AMAZING. So often the grills are poor after thoughts in these rentals. This one was huge, hot, effective and so nice to grill while staring at the ocean. We were nervous about the outdoor live music across the street behind the house, but it really did not impact us at all. Kids slept well in those back rooms, even during the shows. The small pool was a miracle worker for the little ones who struggled with the waves on the beach. It was used daily, for hours, and being fairly shallow there was no worries for the kids. Cons: Take it for what you want, but there are lots of stairs. The elevator was good for my 85 year old parents, and hauling stuff in/out at check ins etc. For those who did not want to wait, which was most of us, we were able to run the stairs and skip any sort of leg day activities. The small trash can seemed to fill up 4 times a day, and was so far at end of counter it could be frustrating. I suggest using a small cardboard box for recycling and turning the recycle can into trash and putting it at the other end of the counter. The kitchen is well stocked with everything but leftover storage for food. Not a tupperware container in sight. We ended up buying a handful for leftover storage. If you have them at home, pack them for your trip.Landmark Rentals: The company was very responsive to questions and problems. A loose exterior stair rail was repaired within 20 minutes of the call. Questions about check in was resolved with a call back that made life simpler. The house layout diagram shows 5 cars in garage, but really it is 4 cars and a ping pong table. We were able to park 9 cars (several single 20 something grandkids traveling in) tho by parallel parking 2 of them behind the ones in the driveway.

We love Topsail Island and Big Blue! Lots of space for our whole crew, lots of options to keep kids from 2-82 entertained both inside and out at the property, lots of options for eating and shopping within walking distance, great beach front, nice viewing for both dolphins and surfers. Big Blue is a winner in our book!
