Our Story

CRSJ Rentals began with a simple story: a couple searching for a home near the coast who fell in love with Topsail Island. Curt and Renee traded upstate New York for North Carolina sand and seafood—and soon discovered it was the perfect place to build something new.

With backgrounds in project management, hospitality, and operations, they purchased their first beach property in 2023 and quickly turned it into a rental that consistently outperformed comparable properties. That success became the foundation of CRSJ Rentals.

At CRSJ, we believe an unforgettable guest experience is just the baseline. What sets us apart is how we treat owners: with the same attention, respect, and care we give every guest. Your property isn’t just another listing—it’s an investment. We protect it, grow it, and manage it like it’s our own.

The CRSJ Management Model

CRSJ Rentals is a full-service vacation rental management company on Topsail Island. We handle every detail—from listings and dynamic pricing to cleaning, maintenance, and guest communication—so owners enjoy predictable revenue without the stress.

Our data-driven, hands-on approach keeps occupancy high and guests happy. A lean, transparent 15% fee covers linens and consumables, letting homeowners maximize returns while protecting their investment.

Curious how your property could perform? A Free Listing Review gives you a clear, no-pressure second opinion on your rental’s revenue, listing, and guest experience — and shows where small adjustments could meaningfully increase results.
