Guest Comments:
We have added a new type of guest book to our homes. They are more like
journals where guests can share experiences and tips in addition to their
memories. Here are some just a few of the comments from the Guest
Journal at Idyll-by-the-Sea Two...
| About Idyll-by-the-Sea Two |
- Your home is superb.
- We love your home - it is exquisite!
- This home is impeccable.
- There can't be a better set of porches from which to drink a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise!
- We never left the property, except to the grocery store :-)
- This house is magical - Thanks for sharing!
- Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home. It is incredible!
- Your home is incredible. You have made it such a wonderful vacation. Thanks for the memories.
- I wanted to let you know that our stay was one of the best vacations ever. The house was completely
relaxing. The weather was great. The decks made for a great place to hang out after the kids were
down for the night. The pool and beach combination was perfect for younger children.
- You have done an amazing job. Even as well done as the website is you can't appreciate the
size of the house until you are there. We had thirteen people and three dogs and the general
comment was that it never felt like you were on top of one another. There was ample room for
our entire party to spread out and relax.
- I wanted to let you know that we had the BEST time in your home. It was
wonderful having our whole family together in such a beautiful setting.
Your home is absolutely amazing, there is not a detail that you have not
thought of.
- We had SUCH a good time in your home. It was everything and then some for
all of us. No one was crowded in, there is space for everyone to be and can
choose to be together or alone.. I loved that we could all sit in the great
room and on something comfy.
- I loved the kitchen and having two dishwashers etc ... and could go on an
on.. all the little touches were amazing.
- It was a treat and accommodated our every need-- from the handicap accessible bathroom and
elevator, to the pool and sand toys, to the well appointed (and labeled)
kitchen for preparing Christmas dinner.
- The beach was beautiful and provided a perfect get-a-way to relax
and go for a jog. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to
stay at Idyll-by-the-sea Two.
- I wanted to drop you a quick note and tell how absolutely perfect your home
is in Topsail -- pictures just do not do it justice!
- We had an absolutely unforgettable week there at the beach. It was such a
nice and relaxing stay. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and could not
say enough great things about your beautiful home. We are all very grateful
for the wonderful location and amenities! We made some more precious
memories that we will cherish forever and never forget.
- Everyone is soooo friendly!
- All of the locals were friendly & gracious.
- Lots of nice people on the beach, pier, and park ... everywhere.

- II Beauchaines (very good), Riverview Cafe (very good), Sears Landing (great shrimp coconut soup),
Bike Rentals at Herring's Outdoor Sports.
- The Green Turtle (restaurant), the pier (up the street).
- The Porte-Cochere. Sitting around the beautiful fireplace with friends, family and wine.
- Mellow Mushroom & Asahi & Denoia's.
- We cooked a lot the first week including some fresh shrimp from the Shrimp Lady.
Skip the Breezeway - UGH. Molly's was slow. The Mellow Mushroom & Elijah's in Wilmington
were both great.
- We spent Sunday in Wilmington and found a fabulous exotic wood boutique
called Barouke while dodging the rain before dinner at The Pilot House.
One of our purchases included a juniper tree lamp that reminded me of
the lamp in the Tiki bedroom.
| Favorite Moments & Highlights |
- Sitting on the balcony listening to the waves and watching kids enjoy the beach.
- Jack's developing his ability to swim; Ellen's fearless approach to the ocean; Mykel's
enjoying everything; Jamie's thorough exhaustion; The tremendous beauty of this home!
- The ocean views. The baby's first time in a swimming pool, and her footprints in the sand!
Our dinner on the veranda. The poker tournament with Scrabble tiles.
- We had a wonderful visit and hope to return very soon. The week went by too quickly, and we are sad to depart.
- Spending time with my family. Lots and lots of laughs.
- We spent a lot of special time with family we don't see often.
- The peach and lavender sunrise each morning was breathtaking.
- Played on the beach, rode bikes, played tennis, explored the area (1st time to Topsail),
read & rested.
- With weather like this and two small children, lots of time on the beach and at the pool. If
that weren't enough, we also got to cherish this wonderful home. Also visited the pier, park,
some local shops.
- Walked on the beach, swam in the ocean, swam in the pool, relaxed in the hot tub,
cooked (A Lot!!), played games, enjoyed several karaoke competitions.
- Played on the beach, pool, and relaxed! Cooked throughout week.
- Walked the beach -- the pier is farther away than it looks. We picked up shells &
sharks teeth. We swam, skim boarded, played Frisbee, pool & ping pong. We watched
movies & played Wii & board games. We saw Pirates III, toured the Battleship &
tons more.
- Rented bikes and surfboards, played golf 4 days, walked the beaches,
ran the beaches, enjoyed sunrises and sunsets, hooked into your network,
plenty of scrabble, hearts, bridge and other games going on. We all learned
to swing dance too.

"5 Star Rental Accommodations. This house was by far the most pleasant,
CLEAN, user friendly home we have come across to date. As designer or 'Art
Director' for an upscale quarterly magazine, I get to see a lot of homes all
over the world. Most of the homes that we showcase are for sale, not for
rent. But if there is ever a slot for a 'how to' set up rental properties,
this home should be the bible."
