Top Dog Islands Hotel Reviews

The Beacon

10/10 Excellent

"Pet friendly and steps to the beach. The owner, christina, was a doll💜 Roku tv!!! Loved it. We will be back💜💜"

Soundfront Escape • Private Heated Pool • Dock • Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed this place. There was plenty of room for 8 people to spread out. The game room was enjoyable. It was so convenient to have 2 kitchens. We thought we would be doing some other things around the area but the pool, dock, and beach right across the street was too enjoyable to leave! We fished from the dock and the kids caught lots of fish and even crabs. The beds were comfy and the bedding and towels were nice quality. We hope to return next year."

Panoramic View DIRECT OCEANFRONT Unit at Summer Winds. Multiple pools, hot tubs

8/10 Good

"This condo is set up very nice! I loved the convenience of the kitchen and bathrooms to the rest of the living areas. The dining area was nice with a very large table that seats 6 easily. Also there was a nice view of the ocean from there. The views from the deck were awesome and there was usually a nice breeze blowing. We viewed wonderful sunrises, dolphins and a thunderstorm over the ocean. The beds were a little hard and there was a short supply of towels, but I always travel with extra so we were ok. The cleanliness could have been better as there were some areas that hadn’t been cleaned for awhile, including the lid on the trash can that was filthy, something stuck on one of the freezer shelves, excess lint in the dryer lint trap and rotten food that was left in the bottom of the dishwasher. By the way, there should be directions on how to use the dishwasher as it is real quirky. The kitchen could use some better skillets but otherwise was stocked nicely. The railing around the balcony needs some work, it is a little loose on one side and there is a crack where it is bolted to the wall. The whole unit needs some TLC as paint is chipping and a major fall cleaning is needed. Overall we did enjoy the unit and it does have a lot to recommend it."

Intracoastal Views from Island Retreat w/ Deck

"Everything was amazing. Easy check in process. Great property."

Oceanfront Gem: Pools/Hot Tub, Beach and Beyond

Walk to Ocean! Atlantic Beach Condo w/ Pool Access

10/10 Excellent

"Jeanell was a wonderful host.The location was perfect!Quiet and easily accessible.The sitting area on the balcony was our favorite. We can’t wait to visit again"

OCEANFRONT, Top Floor; Ocean Club, Pool, Hot tub; Cleaning & Linens Included

8/10 Good

"The view was lovely, and the rooms were sufficient, except for the carpet. The carpet in each bedroom was filthy, stained, and left our feet black on the bottoms. The Keurig was broken upon arrival, so we had to get different coffee for the week. We had no air for about 15 hours, but the owner was able to get the maintenance men out to fix it. The grounds at Ocean Club were great and the beach was spectacular. I highly suggest bringing a beach cart if you have little ones. It helps to load chairs, beach toys, Shibumi, etc. to haul out to the beach."

OCEAN PANORAMA: Beachfront, quiet, & pet friendly home with gorgeous ocean views

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Will be booking again!"

Ocean Club | Exclusive Ocean Views & Amenities

10/10 Excellent

"This beachfront condo was a great stay for my family of 4 (3 adults 1 toddler)! It had extremely easy access to the beach and the pool and was just a few minutes outside of the tourist packed, hustle & bustle of Emerald Isle. While something regard the towel rack in the guest bathroom can be fixed and didn’t impact our stay, I want to advise anyone who might be 6’ tall or taller to watch your head stepping into the shower in the master bathroom for the first time. Ouch! But we absolutely would stay at this property again, and if you’ve got young children, this unit being on the first floor gives you the peace of mind by knowing you’re not disturbing anyone beneath you!"
