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.

The house has easy beach access. There's plenty of beds and the kitchen is well stocked.

This was an absolutely beautiful beach house with plenty of space and an amazing view of the beach! Not to mention the fact that the beds are actually sleepable! My family and I truly enjoyed this vacation and cant wait for our next stay!
6 / 10Average·Oct 2019
Be sure you realize this is a duplex. I completely missed that and was expecting a full cottage. My mistake. Overall, our stay was fine but there were downsides. First, the upstairs bedroom blind was non-functional and stuck in the up/open position. We called the number we were given for such things but my effort at reaching the realtor was not successful so we just lived with it. The place was as clean as an older cottage can get but it needed some maintenance. Baseboards could use some paint and the downstairs toilet paper holder was so loose you had to be delicate with it or the tp was on the floor. The ceiling fans would wobble so bad on a low setting that we were pretty sure high was probably not safe. The deck nail heads needing pounding in as they had popped up and could have caused some damage but, in our case, did not. On the brighter side, the refrigerator and ice maker worked well. The coffee pot was new and the big screen TV was a real plus. The furniture was sturdy and reasonably comfortable. The beds were not luxurious but I slept just fine. The decor was quite nice. Dishes and utensils were also fine. Being right on the water was a plus but the deck was shared with a wall allowing for some privacy but not much. Thankfully our neighbors were great people. Never heard a peep at night from them. Would we stay here again. No.
