Our stay at The Palms was one of relaxation, comfort, and convenience. The fact that it's a spacious lot with plenty of outdoor spaces allowed us to enjoy both the upper deck, as well as the covered area below. This fit our outside needs and made us feel comfortable inside and outside of the house. The inside of the house is cozy and upgraded with new appliances, flooring and deck. We had plenty of room throughout the house, and the decorations in the house really gave you the "beach lifestyle. The convenience of being about 100 feet from the beach just made this rental the perfect place to stay. It is also away from the "hustle and bustle" of the island, but close enough to all of the restaurants and shops available on Topsail. We have been visiting Topsail about twice a year for the last six years, and this is the best vacation rental so far.
