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 t

While there were minor things that would have made our stay completely perfect this house was beautiful, great for our big family, and the location on the beach you cannot beat!
House was in a great location with amazing ocean views from all levels. Spacious rooms/bathrooms with large family/kitchen area. Kitchen had a lot of amenities and the elevator was great as the house is 4 floors!
This was a perfect property with beautiful ocean views. Beach access was directly across the street, which made life easy, especially with young children. Everything about the house worked perfectly for us, with enough space for everyone. The only downside was having to pay extra for linens and then having to make our own beds. Otherwise, management was very responsive, check in / out was easy!
It was a great property. We enjoyed our stay. The only complaint was the cleaning company left sand in the bunk beds. Also there is not a pool light at night, or not one we could find. But we loved the house.
It was a lovely property as advertised. As a condition of check-out, all dishes are to be washed, dried, and put away; seems like the property would come with dishwasher cleanser, since this is a requirement of the guests. Also, having only x1 dish rag & dish towel is not sufficient for a house that can accommodate x10 people. The house itself was amazing with unbeatable views. The elevator was what allowed my somewhat disable Mother to join us.
House was beautiful, plenty of room. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. Elevator was a pleasant bonus. Kitchen was very well stocked. Pool was great. Definitely a great place to stay
Times are different for check in online versus property management. The house was beautiful, along with the views. VRBO and property manager are not on the same page.
