TOPSAIL ISLAND GENERAL INFO- WiFi: WiFi signal strength is NOT guaranteed at your rental for remote work or remote learning. We are located on a barrier island and do not have cellular towers on the island. This, coupled with the increase of guests in our area, creates an inconsistent cellular signal that is outside of our control and therefore, compensation is NOT given.
Beach Nourishment: Beach nourishment projects help preserve and protect Topsail Island's shoreline. Most projects are scheduled annually between November and April and may involve large pipes on the beach, trucks moving sand, and other equipment to rebuild and maintain our dunes. Timelines and locations can shift without notice, and we are not always informed in advance. While we understand this may impact your beach experience, refunds or compensation will not be provided for disruptions related to beach nourishment. For the latest updates, we recommend checking the town websites for Topsail Beach, Surf City, or North Topsail Beach. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about potential beach impacts during your stay.
Water Pressure Notice: Please be aware that during popular rental dates, especially in the mornings and evenings, there may be temporary reductions in water pressure. This is a common occurrence across the island as many visitors are getting ready for the day or returning from the beach. We recommend planning showers and other water-related activities accordingly to avoid inconvenience.
Public Parking: The Town of Surf City enforces “Pay to Park” from March 1-Oct 31 from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm in the Surf City Public Beach Access Parking Lots and other marked Public Parking Lots. The Town of North Topsail Beach will enforce “Pay to Park” from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM year-round. Onslow County operates three public parking areas/beach accesses within the Town of North Topsail Beach. To the best of our knowledge the county intends to continue operating these lots free of charge.
Leave No Trace: Topsail Island enforces a "Leave No Trace" policy in order to protect our shoreline, meaning you must remove all items, including tents and chairs, from the beach each day. Any items left behind are subject to theft, removal by the town, or possibility of being washed away by the ocean.
Turtle Nesting Season: From May to October, Topsail Island is a nesting ground for sea turtles. Be mindful of marked nests, limit oceanside deck lights, and follow local guidelines to protect them.

This is a beautiful home that will make your beach vacation even more fun and comfortable! The home was absolutely beautiful and well equipped with everything you could possibly need.... down to beach toys for the children! The layout of the house is perfect for families with young children! I was thrilled to sit on the upper deck drinking my coffee in the mornings while looking at the ocean! The walk to the beach was a piece of cake!!! It was directly across the street and then walk up the steps until your feet hit the sand! The beach access was never crowded all week! I look forward to staying in this house again next year!!

Wonderful getaway
Home was nicer than expected, plenty of parking, and right across from the beach. Quiet area with a huge porch to relax and feel the ocean breeze. Hope to rent again soon.

Moonlighting
Loved sitting out on the deck on those brightly colored chairs and listening to the waves rolling up on the shore! Bright, clean and comfortable accommodations. Easy in and out. AND the public access to the beach is right across the road!
