The first thing we noticed upon entering the property, was the musty odor. It did not smell clean. Then we noticed that the balcony does have an ocean view, but is not "ocean front" as listed in the title on VRBO.
The balcony was very dirty. Neither the light nor the receptacle on the balcony were in working order.
The breaker box in the hallway does not latch shut.
The bathroom door is very difficult to get latched shut as well.
Be sure to bring all linens; sheets, pillowcases, bath towels, wash cloths, and dish towels.
The sofa bed is listed as a queen size. It is not. It may be a full at best. My 13 year old son, who is 6ft tall had to remove the mattress from the sofa bed and add pillows from the couch to the end of it and sleep on the floor in order for it to be long enough for him to sleep on.
There are NO pillows for the sofa bed. There are 2 pillows for the king bed, and one for each twin bunk. Luckily, we had brought a few extra with us.
The property is very loud. We could hear every person stomping up and down the wooden steps. We could also hear conversations and TV sounds from people in the neighboring units.
***Note: If you are planning on checking out on a Sunday, be prepared to either return your key card on Saturday evening, or have to wait a couple of weeks to get your deposit mailed to you. Check out is at 10am, but the realty does not open until 1pm on Sunday. Nowhere in the check out email does it say this.
The area and the beach were nice. We will definitely be returning to Topsail Island. We will not be staying at the Lazy Palm agan.
