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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Toilet paper ### Entertainment - Books - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Gravel flooring in public areas - Single level property - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/27000000/26740000/26731800/26731773/09e978a7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront, Pool, Early Check-In, Elevator, Walk to Grocery, Dining Surf City - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 161 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=26731773&PinnedHotelID=26731773&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112020000/112011100/112011010/38f24e80.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Sea Notes" Oceanfront Cottage in Surf City Surf City - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=112011010&PinnedHotelID=112011010&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34150000/34143900/34143888/47fe0657.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Mo & Anita's" Oceanfront, Dog-Friendly Home - Hot Tub Surf City - Sea view - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 6.0 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=34143888&PinnedHotelID=34143888&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73640000/73637700/73637652/735b4815.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "4 By The Shore" - Oceanfront 5 Bed/4.5 Bath with Private Hot Tub Surf City - Sea view - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.6 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=73637652&PinnedHotelID=73637652&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45950000/45944800/45944754/b40dc69f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean & Sound Views; 2 King Suites; Elevator Surf City - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 103 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=45944754&PinnedHotelID=45944754&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22520000/22517800/22517736/94fd9b47.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### RIGHT ON THE BEACH - special rates spring Larry's Lazy Susan HC Elevator PETS Ocean City Beach - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 293 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=22517736&PinnedHotelID=22517736&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102210000/102207600/102207518/c1afb4ab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Renegade | Oceanfront + Room for the Whole Family!
