Our extended family has stayed in Topsail Beach,NC a couple of times. I am in charge of renting the house. What do I look for? A house which looks like the owners care about it. Which to me sounds like you guys do. From reading past posts you have a jacuzzi, pool, provide games, toys, movies, etc.

You know, when we rent a condo, I don't care if it's got books or games or a fancy blender. What matters more to me is comfortable furniture! We've stayed in some beach condos where the sofa was so narrow you felt like you were going to fall off at any moment. The "easy" chairs were stiff and uncomfortable and it seems like even if you rent a condo that sleeps 15-20 people, there is only a sofa and a chair, never enough room for everyone to kick back.

This past winter we stayed in a condo in a ski area. For a condo that slept 6, there was one sofa and one chair. This meant I had to sit on the couch with both my sons so my dh could have the chair to himself. Sharing a sofa stinks, especially at the end of a long day when you want to stretch out and relax.

Just my .02. That blender thing sounds pretty groovy though.
