Family Labor Day Gathering
We gathered nine adults and one infant for a family celebration. The rooms and beds were comfortable. Ocean access could not be better. And the two covered decks created get connection space. Kitchen was well equipped but with a large group the refrigerator/freezer space was small. Overall it was fantastic.

Location location location!
This is the third year that my family has stayed here. The location of this tremendous home is what really sets it apart - it’s on the beach, within walking distance to shops and the pier, and the beach itself is quiet and clean. The home is well furnished and clean. On that note, Chad was an attentive and superb host. He went out of his way to line up a cleaning crew after flooded roads from Hurricane Debbie made it impossible for the original crew to prep the house for us. Thanks Chad! The home is starting to show some signs of wear - the back door needs replacing & a slider door required serious muscles to open and close. The bunk bed in one of the bedrooms squeaks very loudly and is quite disruptive. On a whole, this house meets our needs and we especially like the fact that each bedroom has its own bathroom. You won’t be disappointed!

Amazing house!
This is a beautiful and well kept property that is perfect for a group of adults. Everyone has their own bathroom and there’s one room that’s great for a family with kids. The house is well laid out and comfortable and the covered porch is amazing or sitting out and looking at the ocean when it gets too hot to sit on the beach. Really enjoyed our stay!

You couldn’t ask for a better place to stay! Owner really cares for his property and for his guests to make sure they are totally comfortable with his home! We enjoyed our stay, even though we had to deal with tropical storm Debby. Chad, the owner, stayed in constant contact with us to make sure that we were safe and that we were aware of the situation. Hopefully, we will be able to rent his home again next year. This was our second year staying in his property. Thank you Chad! Kathy

Amazing beach house
This property is amazing. It's just as described, but more roomy than the pictures make is appear. We stayed with a large group ranging from infant to 94 yo and everyone had what they needed for the stay! Beds are comfortable, kitchen well appointed, and every bedroom having a dedicated bathroom was great for a large group! The beach was great. We were worried about it being crowded given the condos nearby, but we were there over a major holiday weekend and the beach was still peaceful and relaxing. The only minor thing to note is that the bunk bed is made of a metal frame, making it incredibly squeaky anytime someone moves. My high sensory kids requested ear plugs to be able to sleep, so parents of sensory kids may want to plan accordingly.

Family Vacation Time
Himmelstrand is a beautiful beach front property. This home is perfect for our family including an energetic two-year-old. The beach is beautiful, the weather amazing, and the one stormy couple of hours was amazing to observe. The location is conveniently located to shops and grocery stores. The parking space is more than adequate. . Thanks for sharing this property with our family. John and Melody

Fabulous beach property
We had a party of 15 and everyone was very comfortable. This house is close to the beach which makes it easy to come and go. It’s also close to town and restaurants, grocery stores etc. The hosts are great. They are available and they email you once in a while reminding you to take out trash and asking if we need anything. Overall this was one of our best beach vacations and we want to return!!

Fun memories for our entire family
Our stay in this lovely home was wonderful! There was plenty of room for our large family group. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for large group cooking. The home is situated in a quiet area on the beach and the view is beautiful. It is an easy drive to grocery stores and restaurants. Our hosts were gracious and quick to respond to any questions. By far the nicest home and beach location our family has stayed.

Never wanted to leave
This house is even better than the pictures! Everything was very clean and beautifully furnished. Plenty of parking space and just a few blocks away from great restaurants and shops. The house being right on the water was amazing! It’s just a few short steps to the beach. It was nice to take a little break from the beach to grab lunch and enjoy the views from the HUGE top deck and then just walk right back to the beach for some more fun! My friends and I never wanted to leave. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Highly recommend!

This is our second year at Himmelstrand with a party of 14 ranging in age from 10-77. The location of the property is just great - right on the beach and within walking distance to local shops. The weather was wonderful too. Chad was very prompt in response to questions! We already booked our trip for next year!

Great Stay!
We are always in the lookout for the perfect beach house, and we might have just found it this year. We really enjoyed all aspects of our stay. The house was beautiful and well stocked, it was in a great location, and the property was well maintained. Our plans for next summer are still a little up in the air, but if we’re able to come back we would love to stay in this house again.

Perfect house for a large gathering!
This was the third time our family has gotten together on a vacation at the beach, and this house was by far everyone's favorite! Kitchen had everything we needed, having the bedrooms with their own bathrooms added so much comfort and convenience for everyone. Lots of places to go off and be by yourself, and lots of places to gather as a family. We are so glad we found your beautiful home! We all raved about your house all week!

Great house for family
The house was perfect for our family. Layout of the house is great for a beach vacation. Each bedroom has it’s own bathroom, large kitchen and eating area, covered decks on both floors, plenty of seating on decks and great views. This couldn’t have worked out better for us. We’ve been going to Topsail since 1997 and this house was the best for our growing family. Thanks!

Great house for our annual couples weekend!
This is our 19th annual couples trip with the same five couples, and this house is one of our all-time favorites. It fit our group perfectly, and worked out so well for us to play games, have large meals, and spend time on the beach. We loved the easy bathroom access from the beach :). This was also our first house with an elevator, and that was so nice. We are hoping to make this our house every year!

Had a wonderful time. House was perfect. The elevator was perfect for our 89 year old mother. Also, the Oceanfront deck worked out perfectly for her. Made her feel like she was part of our daily activities on the beach without having to manage the unsteadiness of sand. Would definitely rent again.
