Family friendly & great location

AnthonyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This was a true home away from home! From the moment we arrived until our departure, my family and I felt at home. The only difference between our own home and this one was the address. The location was even better, nestled in a peaceful neighborhood where the residents welcomed and treated us as neighbors. The interior of the home was impeccable, with everything in its place. I would highly recommend this location to anyone seeking a home away from home.

J&K’s Beach Getaway

CarolynRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We appreciated the secure garage parking, especially since rain was predicted. The entrance lock appeared to be new and worked well. Checkout tasks were minimal. We booked close to the beach and appreciated the offer to use the bikes, wagon and beach gear. Provisions and directions for rinsing sand off gear and feet were provided. The rental is privately situated and has convenient access to beach activities. We had fun.

2 Good 2 Be True golf cart paddle board kayaks

JillRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The house was clean and spacious and the views were calming. The living room was really a place for gathering friends and watching the final four on the lovely sectional couch and giant loveseat chair. We ate our dinner around the dining table with plenty of room. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room in each bedroom for our belongings. We walked to the beach and took the golf cart to the beach as well. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The only downside was there was not enough seats on the outside decks where we spent most of our time. There were only two chairs and a love seat. We would stay again!

We needed large home to accommodate our family for a large wedding in town. Dana’s house was perfect. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended.

Wonder the Sea:Views, Walk to Beach, Hot Tub, Pets

RogeliaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our stay was short, but the house had everything we needed. There’s a closet full of beach gear, and we loved taking the two bikes out for a ride—my husband and I biked for an hour, which was such a treat since we live in Virginia where it's much hillier. Riding along the flat beach roads was amazing. Even though it was cold, our son had a great time at the beach and didn’t want to leave! The house was also spotless—honestly one of the cleanest Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. My family enjoyed for sure!

The Great Escape- A Waterfront Retreat

KristenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I rented this beautiful house for our wedding weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Such a great place to host a few friends. All of the bedrooms were comfortable but the dock is where we spent most of our time. We even had a pod of dolphins come through! Clean, spacious, and loved having the kayaks and paddle boards to play on. Would definitely recommend this spot and hope to rent it again for our 1 year anniversary:)

A carpeted staircase features a neutral wall, leading to an upper level. The handrail runs along one side, providing support. The soft lighting from the room at the top illuminates the steps, creating a welcoming transition between floors.

Your guide to North Topsail Beach

Welcome to North Topsail Beach

The southern tip of North Carolina is flanked by the lovely port city of Wilmington and miles of pristine, sandy coastline. Like the Outer Banks on the northern end of the state, Topsail Island is a barrier island that stretches 26 miles along the Atlantic Ocean. It is home to three seaside towns: North Topsail Beach, Surf City, and Topsail Beach. The northernmost community, North Topsail Beach, provides that toes-in-the-sand, small-town vibe you might crave from a beach vacation, far from chain restaurants and crowded bars — but with plenty of beach houses large enough to accommodate your entire family or group of friends. Aside from being a hotbed for water sports like surfing and paddleboarding, North Topsail Beach is also widely known for its conservation efforts, including preserving the many loggerhead turtle nesting sites.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in North Topsail Beach

Though North Topsail Beach is rarely crowded, you’ll get the best weather in spring (March through May) or fall (September through November). The summer months are pleasant, but certainly more crowded than the rest of the year. The Atlantic’s hurricane season can start in June and run through November, so you’ll want to monitor weather conditions before and during your stay; in recent years,the most serious storms have hit in August and September. Both the water and air temperatures are often warm enough to enjoy the beach and its water sports through late October. October also brings with it Wilmington’s annual Riverfest.

Lea-Hutaff Island

Spanning 5,641 acres, nearby Lea-Hutaff Island is the perfect retreat for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The untouched creeks double as nursery areas for fish, shrimp, and crab. Birders, in particular, will love to dust off their binoculars to bring to the state’s last remaining uninhabited barrier islands, where they can spy on thousands of feathered friends who claim these skies as their playground.

Salty Turtle Brewery

North Carolina is home to the largest craft beer industry in the South. Salty Turtle Brewery in Surf City was the first brewery to open in Pender County. If you’re into full-bodied, hop-forward beers, you’ll love what this veteran-owned brewery serves in its pet-friendly beer garden and taproom.

The Battleship North Carolina

Wilmington is a town with a rich military history, and it’s also the final resting place of the USS North Carolina. During World War II, this battleship was considered the world’s greatest sea weapon, participating in every major naval offensive in the Pacific. Take a self-guided tour of this vessel, which has been at its current berth since 1961.
