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 vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Cleanliness and something needs to be done with all the mud and standing water
The house was not very clean especially the rugs in living room, the couches and chairs were very dirty and in desperate need of cleaning. The refrigerator and kitchen smelled like crab meat. The plates and utensils were not clean. The kitchen however was very well stocked with cooking utensils and the location was great. The drive was was a desaster

Nice stay could be improved.
This rental is in an excellent location. It has a nicw elevator for traveleing with those persons with disabilities. Overlooks the sound for beautiful sunsets. Short walk to the beach. Rental company listing is misleading. Stares 4 pm entry on VRBO hut they sent an email the day(Thursday) before we were leaving (Friday) stating 4 pm - 6 pm nd they let us in at 5:56 pm. We drove around trying to find a place to be for 2 hours waiting for text. This was especially hard on my mother who has ALS and dementia. I told them this should be stated up front . They didnt seem to care at all. Stating that an email was sent 2 days prior on Thursday. I tried explaining that part of our party had already left because we were driving from 3 differe states. Drivewy was an absolute .us pit which is not thwir fault but would benwfit from gracel. Some furnishinga stined, ripped, or in disrepair but worked for our family. Mych I ld foy d vape and dirt in the sofa within the first 5 mins but we just avoided uaing the sofa bed. Linens were delivered as stated. House is stocked with everything necessary for an amazing vcation. Sliding doors stick and the off rhe kitchen wouldnt open like it wa soff track so we avoided that door. Pool is small but perfect temperature. Eveything you vould need for the beach is there. Beds were very comfy.
Perfect space for a family getway but could benefit from some mild maintenance.. wmail 2 days b Sta

Superb views!
This property was ideal for our family's beach trip to Topsail. A few comments - The house was as advertised minus a couple of cosmetic issues needing repair during our stay, but these were clearly communicated and we were not inconvenienced by this. Communication from property management was prompt and extremely helpful before and during our stay. Lastly, the location was great and the views were incredible. We especially enjoyed watching the storms come in over the intracoastal. Great property overall!
