The Neighborhood:

Things To Do on Topsail Island: Topsail Island is a hidden gem along the North Carolina coast, known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and charming coastal communities like Surf City. This 28-mile-long barrier island is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, offering a unique landscape of marshes, estuaries, dunes, and sandy shorelines.



Whether you're looking to relax or explore, there's something for everyone. Spend your days sunbathing, swimming, surfing, fishing, or kayaking, then browse locally owned shops and enjoy fresh coastal cuisine at one of the island's many restaurants. Book a charter with a local fishing guide, cast a line or take in the views from one of the island's iconic fishing piers—including Seaview Fishing Pier, Surf City Ocean Pier, and Jolly Roger Pier—or simply unwind while listening to the waves along the shore.



For those interested in local history and wildlife, visit the Missiles and More Museum to learn about the island's fascinating past, explore the Touch Tank Aquarium in Surf City, or stop by the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitation Center to meet the patients and learn about sea turtle conservation. From outdoor adventures to family-friendly attractions, Topsail Island offers the perfect blend of relaxation, natural beauty, and coastal charm.



Getting Around:

Parking may be limited during the summer months (public parking is available through Pivot Parking at an hourly rate). Surf City/ North Topsail Beaches are easily navigable once you're here. Our beach town is very accessible and family friendly for vehicles, bikes, and golf carts. Renting bikes and golf carts is a breeze with the many rental companies on the island. Advanced reservations are recommended. Escape the hustle and bustle of the beaches of Surf City/ North Topsail Beach and explore the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue Center. Or take a scenic Tiki Tour through the Intracoastal Waterway.

Please Note: You must be at least 25 years of age to book this property.

The property is definitely in need of some tlc but we loved it and would stay here again.I will point out the negatives, but please know that management was very responsive and fixed the issues as best they could. We had our dog with us. She loved the large fenced yard. The negative is that some of the rails needed fixing so as not to have gaps in the fence where she could escape. Maintenance came and fixed those ares the next day.If you have a small dog or one that tends to get out, this property might not be for you as the steps are open and dogs can slip out. Solution for management might be to add maybe some chicken wire or plastic netting to the underside of the stairs. We always sat outside with the dog to keep an eye on her and luckily she did not investigate that she could get out by going through the stairs.The laundry room is under the building. The appliances are pretty rusted on the outside (not unexpected since this is at the beach). They worked just fine. The grill is not usable and should be replaced or deleted from the description of the property. If you like to grill, you would need to bring your own.Now for the positives which far outweigh the negatives. The location and proximity to the beach is phenomenal. Beds are comfortable. Absolutely cleanest beach i have ever been to. There was a wagon to use to bring all your beach gear to the beach. You do have to lift it up the stairs. We like that it just helped us keep out gear a bit more tidy.

My husband, Jack Russell Terrier Fur daughter, and I stayed here Oct 12-16, 2023 for a long birthday weekend. It's an awesome beach cottage, fully stocked, ample space, the fenced in backyard is awesome, and the proximity to the beach cannot be beat! We lucked out with terrifically warm weather and was able to view the solar eclipse. There's plenty of space to cook, eat, and lounge at night. No occupied neighbors so it was very quiet too, close to shopping and gas for last minute items. There's laundry but it is outside the cottage on the first level, not a huge deal because we travel with a collapsible laundry basket, and it functioned perfectly. Linens were included, nice and clean (wrapped so also hygienic) with plenty of towels. We only had to call PM once and they instantly rectified the issue (digital lock was stuck due to moisture). Overall, we 'd love to go back, thanks for the super memories!

Loved the house, the proximity to the beach was wonderful. The only way it would have been better was to be directly on the beach. Very quiet area - we loved that we could bring our dog and that the beach is so dog friendly. King sized bed was comfortable. You rent the linens and they are in a plastic tub on the porch. We had a small issue with the cable and someone was there almost immediately and corrected the problem. Definitely will rent here again.
6 / 10Average·May 2025
The property convenience was great. The home had a significant foul odor that was not minimized with Febreeze and candles. When we arrived, there were no linens or bath towels which were supposed to be included. I had to call the property management FIVE times with the threat of calling every five minutes if I did not receive a call back. At 10:45pm on the day of checkin, we finally got bath towels and sheets for the beds. I called again the day before we left and left a message asking for a callback and never received a call back. I will never book a rental property using Sea Coast Rentals again. They do not provide any customer service whatsoever.
