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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 4.5 bathrooms ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Fenced yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the sea ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Fishing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103280000/103275700/103275660/47da6ac6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean Views-Just Steps from the Beach Ocean City Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.0 Very good 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=103275660&PinnedHotelID=103275660&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/64000000/63090000/63082500/63082417/89faf823.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront Duplex with Incredible Sunrise Views North Topsail Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 7.4 Good 15 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=63082417&PinnedHotelID=63082417&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55450000/55444600/55444507/647ea0cb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pet Friendly, Direct Oceanfront with Amazing Oceanview's from 2 decks North Topsail Beach - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 8.8 Excellent 22 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=55444507&PinnedHotelID=55444507&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95040000/95039200/95039198/a53b5d55.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beachside Retreat:Private Hot Tub, Pool & Pets Welcome North Topsail Beach - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=95039198&PinnedHotelID=95039198&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/63000000/62600000/62598000/62597994/750b92e1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 5 BD 4.5 BA sleeps 15, oceanviews/hot tub/elevator North Topsail Beach - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 33 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=62597994&PinnedHotelID=62597994&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103840000/103839600/103839586/f80f4426.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pet Friendly Retreat: Ocean and Sound Views, Steps to the Beach!
