Great location, just a short walk to the public beach access. Provided all accommodations you might need for cooking, etc during your stay. The house is slightly dated but clean. Comfortable beds. Great decks and balconies to catch the sunrise & sunset.

Everything was well prepared and we enjoyed our stay. Check in and out were simple, but the AC in all but one room was not up to par after the first day. Overall we were happy with the price especially considering it was a holiday weekend. Our main goal was beach proximity and the walk was short and sweet! But would have definitely enjoyed it being slightly cooler. Thanks again! Would come back!

NICE PLACE
We really like the house because is close to the beach, the neighbors are nice and is a calm and quiet neighborhood. We love the top balcony more at night. We enjoyed our vacations a lot.

Great older style beach house!!
Me and my family had the best time at the beach house. Reminds me of the beach house that we had growing up. We spent a lot of quality time and the house provided a lot of things that made our stay much easier. We had forgotten beach chairs, and it was really awesome Just show up and see that not only was their beach chairs, but many other great things that were useful. If you’re looking for a cottage style beach house that will remind you of how things were 20 years ago I recommend this house. So many memories were made.

We enjoyed our stay but the weather didn’t cooperate. The house is clean and definitely dated - the name fits the house perfectly. No ice maker or dishwasher. It was kind of fun seeing some of the old cups and plates and things in the kitchen - reminded me of my grand parents. Definitely not a house to rent if you are cooking for a large family for a week. Washing dishes is not exactly what I want to do on vacation. I would rent again for a weekend. Beach is pretty close and neighborhood is great for walking.

Wonderful!
We had a great time staying at How it Usta Be. It was a VERY short walk to the beach and the sound - and an easy walk to "downtown" Topsail Beach.
The house was clean, the furniture and beds were comfortable, and we had everything we needed. Screen doors and decks were great!! Plenty of dishes and pots and pans and nice sink for washing. Air conditioning for the separate spaces was nice-we don't agree on temperature! (Master bedroom shares the ac for the main living space. )There is a nice yard below with a grill and a porch swing-and lots of birds.
How It Usta Be was simple-and simply lovely! We see why the owner's cherish this Topsail Beach legacy.

Perhaps, at one time the property "Usta be' nice and cared for unless it always looked and felt run down.
