About Us
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.
After purchasing their first beach property in 2023, they quickly learned how to manage it with efficiency and care, outperforming others in the market. 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.
