Good Tide-ings
Oceanfront Home with Private Pool, Stunning Views, and Direct Beach Access
Welcome to Good Tide-ings, an oceanfront retreat in North Topsail Beach where stunning views, modern comforts, and coastal charm come together for the ultimate beach getaway.
This spacious home offers private beach access, a refreshing private pool, and multiple outdoor living spaces where you can soak in both ocean and sound views. Step inside to find a bright and airy living area with vaulted ceilings, large windows, and an open-concept design that creates the perfect space for relaxation and gathering. Comfortable seating surrounds a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, while nearby, a dining area offers plenty of room for family meals. The fully equipped kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large island with seating, making it easy to prepare meals while still being part of the conversation.
With multiple bedrooms designed for comfort, this home provides ample space for your group to unwind. The primary suites offer plush beds and private baths, while additional guest rooms and a bunk room ensure everyone has a cozy place to recharge after a day in the sun.
Step outside onto the expansive decks to take in breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee as the sun rises over the waves or enjoying a quiet evening breeze with the sunset, the outdoor spaces at Good Tide-ings are designed for making the most of your coastal escape. The private pool area is perfect for lounging between beach visits, and after a day in the sand, rinse off in the enclosed outdoor showers.
With its unbeatable oceanfront location, thoughtfully designed interior, and modern amenities, Good Tide-ings is the perfect setting for your next beach vacation.

PREPARING FOR YOUR VACATION -
All our vacation rentals include fully equipped kitchens, basic small appliances (microwaves, coffee makers, toasters), pillows, comforters/bedspreads, television(s) and more! Our vacation homes do not supply consumable items for guest use (i.e. toilet paper, paper towels, soap, spices, cleaning products, etc.). Please plan accordingly for any items you may need during your stay.
You are welcome to bring your own linens, or we provide a linens rental service for your convenience. Some homes provide complimentary linens for select dates and this detailed information can be found in the description. Linen package options include BRONZE (bed sheets only per bed listed), SILVER (bed sheets per bed listed, a bath towel set per occupancy, dish towel, and a bath mat per shower/tub), and GOLD (all items from the SILVER package plus one extra bath towel per occupancy).
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.
