First of all, the unit was wonderful, clean and beautifully decorated. The view from the balcony was spectacular However, “the beach”. This section of North Topsail has had some major erosion problems which they are desperately trying to stave off with huge 10 feet sandbags. Sadly some these sand bags are directly in front of the unit. The stairs leading down to the beach was even blocked because at high tide, there was absolutely no beach. None. The waves crashed (beautifully!) against the sand bags and I’d say it was 4 feet deep at the base of the beach stairs. It was necessary to lug our beach gear down the street about 75 yards and walk to the beach through a public access entry. This is not the unit owners fault. Not at all! But I do feel they should have included that information in their description. There are about 100 units in this condo and mostly were impacted by this same situation. By the way, you COULD access the beach for about 3 hours either side of low tide. But not enough room to“Set up camp” for the whole day. I do hope that the beach erosion measures will work!!!!
