Sunny Dayz

We chose this home as a special getaway for our beach-loving pup, who doesn’t have much time left with us, and her brother. We wanted a place where we could feel secure with them and have everything we needed to enjoy the beach without ever having to leave. This house was perfect—so thoughtfully designed. The fenced dog area, with extra gates on the deck, gave us peace of mind. Our pups could safely relax in the sun, free from restraints, and we could simply enjoy being with them. Our journey began with a traumatic car accident, making this arrival all the more meaningful. What started as a stressful experience turned into some of the best memories we’ve made together—an understatement, truly. The views are breathtaking. Most days, we found ourselves on the deck, reading and simply cherishing time together. The beach was quiet, the sun was warm, and the experience was incredibly peaceful. Visiting in this season, the beach felt like our own private retreat. The team is also very kind. We’d love to return in the future.

We loved the house & oceanfront so much we made reservations to return in May 2024!!! This is "our get away" place now. Have rented houses/condos for years NC & SC beaches this works best for us. Thank you so very much for sharing this beautiful home/space with us. Also, close to park so we can take fur baby to play ball and just have fun.

Thank you for opening your wonderful beach home to our family to enjoy for the week. Everything was just perfect! We had an awesome week of fun, beach time, and beautiful weather!

We hope the next family coming in makes as many wonderful memories as we did!

We enjoyed Sunny Dayz. We liked going to Sears Landing, swimming, surfing, and going out to the sand bar.

MJ O. July 2023 from Mechanicsville, VA - Posted: 12/13/2023

We enjoyed our stay at Sunny Dayz. Loved watching the dolphins! It was a hot week with afternoon thunderstorms. We've been coming to Topsail/Surf City for 30 years. This is by far the best beach in the Carolinas.

We were blessed that our two grandsons and their families were able to be on this vacay. Lots of special memories were made!

Sammi, our little dog, loved the enclosed yard - the beach not so much. 

John & Sharon July 2023 from Powell, OH - Posted: 12/13/2023

We cannot thank you enough for letting us enjoy your beautiful home. We have been here to Topsul ;) twice now and we will be back. The weather was incredible and your home was perfect. Thank you so much.

p.s. I have learned to pronounce this beautiful island correctly, Topsul not Topsail (like it sounds) haha

Krista B. July 2023 from Rochester, NY - Posted: 12/13/2023

Thank you for opening your home to us again! We had another wonderful and relaxing week! We are already looking forward to next year! Our only suggestion is, if you replace the couch in the future, place the new one facing the beach. It would be amazing to look outside from the living room :)

Steve & Thais B. June 2023 from Hanover, MD - Posted: 12/13/2023

Thank you so much for another awesome week. Our massage at "Topsail Island Massage" was the best ever! You have to try it out. Walking the beach was perfect! Again your place has everything you need. :)

Frank & Sandy D. May 2023 from Rochester, NY - Posted: 12/13/2023

Thank you so much for opening your home to our family. Amazing beach, welcoming town and a cozy and joyful home. We enjoyed every minute we were here.

Colleen B. February 2023 from Webster, NY - Posted: 4/8/2023

It's hard to find the right words to tell you how PERFECT my four-day stay at your wonderful beachfront home has been. Honestly, I just can't say enough! It provided a much needed getaway for just me and my beagle, Shakespeare (his first time at the beach - he LOVED our long walks!). Thank you for a nice, secured puppy side yard...and for the strong, secure gate on the deck! We spent all our time out on the deck and on long walks (until night time). This was such a special spiritual retreat for me that I hope to come back to Sunny Dayz this time every year - I feel nothing but positive, happy energy here. Immaculately clean and accommodating!! Thank you!

Cindy W. December 2022 from Moncure, NC - Posted: 4/8/2023

This was 1st time coming to Topsail Island. We LOVE your home and throughly enjoyed our stay. The deck is wonderful and we spent many mornings out there watching the sunrise (love the deck chairs) and dolphins too! Having direct, easy access to the beach is a plus for our bad knees! We really appreciated the nicely setup kitchen, spacious living area and had everything we needed. Even the weather was wonderful! Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Jan M. November 2022 from New York - Posted: 4/8/2023

We got covid last year and you all graciously let us postpone our week to this year. We are so grateful to you! Just as in 2020, when we stayed here, the house is so perfect for our family, especially our golden boy, Tucker. He loves it at Sunny Dayz! The new addition of the side puppy yard was the best surprise of all! Thank you for doing that. The weather was stunning and a great reminder of God's faithfulness in restoring us to perfect health and bringing us through a rough 2021. We'll be back for sure!!!

Susan A. Oct 2022 from Belmont, NC - Posted: 4/8/2023

Its our first time to visit, just my husband and I. The home was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We really enjoyed the beach and peace and quiet. The beach deck really was a great place to sit back and enjoy the views and relax. The deck high top table and chairs are wonderful! What a cozy home and excellent view of the ocean. Relaxing here was perfect. Enjoyed our vacation. -Tina and George

Tina M. Oct 2022 from Monrovia, MD - Posted: 4/8/2023

This was our 5th time in Topsail, but it was our first time in this home. We feel like we hit the jackpot! House is wonderful, clean, and so comfortable! Thank you very much for the wonderful stay - we will be back every year!

Thais B. June 2022 from Hanover, MD - Posted: 9/7/2022

Thank you so much for opening your home to us. This was our first time staying at this house, but not our first trip to Topsail Island. We loved staying in this home. The views from the deck are amazing and the beach was never crowded. Loved the side yard for the dogs and the gates on the deck. Thank you!

Edward L. June 2022 from Clayton, NC - Posted: 9/7/2022

Good Location and Super Pet Friendly

We spent four days here in the early season for a short vacation break. We brought along our youngest golden retriever, who had never been to the beach before. She loved the place at least as much as we did. The ocean side deck is well secured so the dog could be put out there watching people, crashing waves, birds, and of course other dogs while being secure with relatively little supervision. A side gate opens to a stairs that lead to the fully fenced side yard where there's some grass, along with a poop bucket and proper scooper. The house is quiet, so relatively few loud noise disturbed the dog. Our dog had a great time. And so did we despite some pretty chilly weather. All in all, a relaxing few days spent here. Highly recommended.

Jeff A. May 2022 from Fort Valley, VA - Posted: 5/24/2022

Thank you so much for sharing your beach house with us. We have stayed here before and you just keep making it better. Love all the add ons! We have been coming to Topsail for 30 years and this is our favorite place to stay. Thank you for a lovely week!

Debbie M. April 2022 from Kernersville, NC - Posted: 5/24/2022

This home and this trip was so perfect for our family. So very thankful for your home and the peace that it allowed us to have during our stay. The beach is so easy to walk onto. I was able to easily walk out for fun with our 6 year old without having to pack everything. The dog area on the side is amazing. Our pup was very comfortable here. We love the updates and your home was clean and comfortable. This is a very nice beach. Not too crowded. We even got to see a dolphin swimming close to shore! We will definitely be back!

Ashley M. April 2022 from Maiden, NC - Posted: 5/24/2022

Being with my family and our dog has been a blessing. The dog area is so nice, as is the deck. The house was perfect for the 5 of us and we haven't even left yet and we already want to come back. Hoping to come from Iowa again next Easter and will be looking here first.

William N. April 2022 from Winfield, IA - Posted: 5/24/2022

The week has gone too fast. Loved your updates and will be back again to make more great memories!

Sandra D. April 2022 from Hilton, NY - Posted: 5/24/2022

Thank you! We had an amazing time. Truly a paradise! We picked up our niece and nephew on the way to have a much needed reunion! Covid kept the kids apart and reuniting was beautiful.

Greg M. August 2021 from Babylon, NY - Posted: 5/24/2022

Our family came here for a well needed vacation and some quality time together. Safe to say it was a great week (weather included)! Thank you so much for opening your home to us! We'll most definitely be back next year!

Tara S. August 2021 from Mars, PA - Posted: 5/24/2022

We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing at Sunny Dayz. Particularly helpful and welcome were the collected manuals and info notebooks! The laundry room is fabulous! The kitchen is wonderfully supplied with storage containers and pots...making staying at home to eat a joy! This is our 50th year renting up and down the Outer Banks, this is one of the best! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

Virginia B. July 2021 from Hillsborough, PA - Posted: 5/24/2022

We had a great week here at your wonderful home. God blessed us with great weather. It was a pleasure having friends and family come together at an awesome place. Thank you for sharing.

Teresa H. June 2021 from Mint Hill, NC - Posted: 5/24/2022

This was our dog's first beach vacation and he has a blast. We also enjoyed ourselves. The Missiles and More Museum was very interesting. One rainy day we went to Wilmington and toured the USS North Carolina, very worthwhile.

Jennings May 2021 from Virginia - Posted: 6/16/2021

I love the floor plan and the view from the deck is the best. We can't wait to return. 

William May 2021 from Kernersville - Posted: 6/16/2021

Came to this beautiful beach house for our Anniversary. We all give this place a thumbs & paws up! The deck, the views, the comfy living room and lovely kitchen were everything we needed for a home away from home. It was all absolutely wonderful and the weather was gorgeous all week. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy this piece of paradise.

Henderson April 2021 from New York - Posted: 6/16/2021

What a beautiful place! Loved everything, was expecting bad weather but turned out to be good relaxing fun in the sun. Looking forward to another stay in the future!

Fraley's April 2021 from Lowell - Posted: 6/16/2021

We had an amazing time in this beautiful home. We came to celebrate my son's birthday and it couldn't be better. The enclosed deck was perfect for our pup. We love the tall deck table for meals outside. We hope to be back again soon. Just perfect for us. Thank you so much!

Holmes April 2021 from Durham - Posted: 6/16/2021

Thank you for a wonderful first visit to Topsail! Everything was so comfortable for our family (including dog). We loves the views... to wake up in the bedroom and see the gorgeous shades of blue in the ocean such a treat. Hope to return!

Cheryl April 2021 from New Jersey - Posted: 6/16/2021

Thank you so much for such a wonderful place to stay! We loved waking up every morning to the sound of the waves. We have stayed at different places around here and this has been one of our favorites. Thanks for everything!

Walburn March 2021 from Ohio - Posted: 6/16/2021

We thank you so much for sharing your beach home with us! We fell in love the moment we opened the sliding door. The house had everything we needed. Greatly appreciated the extra pillows, floats, TVs with good cable, and the little metal shovel and kitchen made for cooking. We will be back and look forward to yearly trips to Sunny Dayz. We loved it so much, we stayed an extra day!

Barrett March 2021 from Greenville - Posted: 6/16/2021

What an amazing, welcoming home! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. It was absolutely liberating to be on the beach and our dog loved running after the birds. Surf City Crab did right by us as always with clams, shrimp, bass, swordfish, and snapper. Couldn't have asked for a better slice of heaven in the middle of our lives at work.

Jon & Barb March 2021 from Cary - Posted: 6/16/2021

Thank you for an amazing week! We had beautiful weather and were able to enjoy a nice, relaxing week away with our dogs. Gorgeous views and cozy, comfortable home. Awesome birthday trip, we will be back for sure!

Dagenharts March 2021 from North Carolina - Posted: 6/16/2021

We enjoyed our stay in your wonderful home. What a great way to spend a Valentine's Birthday. Despite the cold rain, we enjoyed our views on the ocean! No complaints here!

Katie February 2021 from Virginia - Posted: 6/16/2021

This was a really wonderful place to enjoy with my children and our pup! The location is ideal, it had everything we needed and the enclosed deck was a super bonus for a dog owner. We hope to be back soon.

Brenda H from Durham NC - Posted: 5/11/2021

Exactly as we expected, you step off your deck onto the beach. Or you can watch the ocean from inside the house. VERY relaxing and exactly what we had hoped for.

Barbara S from Cary NC - Posted: 4/20/2021

Loved everything about this house - the location, the view, the deck. Most certainly will return.

Kevin A from Pittsburgh - Posted: 4/20/2021

We were so blessed! This home was truly beautiful. Where it sets us a beautiful view. Everything there you need. I would highly recommend a stay here!

Janet D from Endicott - Posted: 2/18/2021

We truly had a fantastic time in this beautiful home! We will have many great memories of sitting on the gorgeous deck with a wonderful view and returning in the future.

August 2020 L from Earlysville - Posted: 2/4/2021

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Sunny Dayz. Just about lived on the deck the whole time. Best view ever with great deck seating. Thanks for helping us have a great family vacation.

October 2020 S from Greensboro - Posted: 2/4/2021

Thank you so much for sharing this awesome cottage with us. We had amazing weather. This was out first time at Topsail & will be returning next year. Water was warm even in September.

September 2020 L from Waynesboro - Posted: 2/4/2021

Had a great time at Sunny Dayz. Beautiful views from the deck and the home had all necessary amenities. Will definitely return. The new owners told me they are doing some upgrades. Excited to return next year.
