Beachfront vacation rentals in Topsail Island

Grant and Laura’s Coastal Cabana was the best Airbnb for a little getaway for Easter. The place was so cute, clean, and close to the boardwalk and the beach! The kitchen was the perfect size to cook an Easter meal and it will be an Easter for us all to remember. Grant and Laura were super responsive and very accommodating, I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Carolina Beach! Thank you Grant and Laura!

Staying at this Airbnb felt like a true escape. The location couldn't have been better – being mere steps from the beach was such a treat, allowing for spontaneous walks and the calming sound of the waves. It was wonderful to find such a genuinely dog-friendly place; my pups absolutely loved it, which made the stay even more enjoyable for me. The entire atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and I found the off-season to be a particularly lovely time to visit, with beautiful weather and a sense of peacefulness. The property itself had everything I could possibly need, making it easy to settle in and feel comfortable. Amy was fantastic – always communicative and helpful, ensuring a smooth and easy stay. While there were plenty of options for things to do in the area, I also appreciated the opportunity to simply unwind and work remotely in such a serene setting. The upper deck was my favorite spot for getting sun many hours of the day. I’ve stayed in many airbnbs and this is a favorite!

This place was perfect for my wife and our dogs! Beachfront location is amazing! Updated, beautiful & fully stocked kitchen was helpful. Host was extremely responsive, very timely and answered all our questions. We will definitely look into staying here again!

We took our four adult kids to the beach for the weekend, and this place was just right! We used every balcony, got our exercise on the stairs, walked to the beach several times, cooked several meals and relaxed. We loved the views! The beds were comfortable, and everything was truly clean or else my family members with sensitive allergies would have been bothered. The dog next door was always contained, looked sweet, and only barked to say hi when we were coming and going. You may want to reference the tide charts online before taking your beach gear down or planning a walk. Most of the day and night are available for playing, walking, and hanging out on the beautiful beach, but because of erosion there are moments when there is more surf than sand. It's a lovely, comfortable, family-oriented place!

Will visit again! The location can’t get any better if you want to be right on the beach when you open the backdoor.

A true phenomenal first experience with ABnB and Unit D at Surf City. Jeffrey and his team were so great in seeing that we had all we needed or if there was anything they could help with. The unit as mentioned before is on the smaller side, it was perfect for my wife and I and my service dog Lark. The kitchen, while no appliances other than a small refrigerator, microwave and toaster, was very satisfactory. Also, bathroom was quite nice with a large tiled shower. A sound machine was a nice touch and helped with sleep. Location is just steps away from the ocean, with a wonderful pavilion to relax while enjoy the waves of the ocean. We would return without question.

Had a great stay at Sound Living! The house was clean, comfortable, and in a fantastic location - just steps from the beach, yet peaceful and quiet. The host was responsive and made check-in easy. Would definitely recommend and hope to return!

Deborah’s place was absolutely stunning! The best part was the balcony overlooking the ocean. It was so peaceful and cozy. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

This was the perfect weekend stay for our small family! The condo was spacious, clean, and surprisingly toddler-friendly, which we really appreciated with a 2- and 4-year-old in tow. It’s just one block from the public beach access, and there were plenty of fun places to explore within a mile. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot for a relaxing family getaway!

The CONDO was as described and beautiful in every way. The host Payton was very helpful and had great communication hope to visit again soon!

My husband and I just wanted to get away and relax, and it was also his birthday. We were blown away by the view, the sunrises were amazing! It was perfect for just the two of us! We walked to the boardwalk which was 1.7 miles, had lunch and walked down the beach back, but if you just want to hang out on the beach it’s a simple walk and you are there. The best part is the sound of the waves. There is nothing better than going to sleep to the sound of the waves. We spent our last night on the patio playing Yahtzee, (which was there in addition to other games) while we listened to the waves. We had so much fun playing, I hope we didn’t wake the neighbors! It was a very peaceful, relaxing trip.

Great place and fantastic location. End unit on a townhouse with a shared pool and public beach access, but still felt private and you're on the beach in seconds...you couldn't get any closer! The deck with view was absolutely stunning and perfect of you enjoy people watching :) The host was very responsive and helpful; I particularly liked the list of local eats/activities (I would have underlined Shaka Taco if I had a piece of chalk!). Definitely recommend!

The host was extremely responsive. Loved the place. Everything in Surf City is super close. Had a great stay. Would rent again!

Loved staying here. Easy access to beach. Great view! Walking distance to everything.

Beautiful place, excellent location!!!

My friend and I had a great stay in this condo! It's exactly like the pictures and was very peaceful. It's pretty close to the Boardwalk and other restaurants, but not too close to be in all of the congestion and hustle and bustle of CB. Stephen was wonderful and very responsive. I would recommend this place to everyone and would stay here again!

We had a fantastic stay at Erin and Jeremy's place over Easter weekend. Everything was as described and Erin and Jeremy were very responsive when we did have an issue (needed to restart the router for the internet). More over, either they themselves are very honorable or their cleaners are, because less than two hours after we'd left I received a text from Jeremy asking if we had left some valuable jewelry in one of the bathrooms. One of our guests had, and they were able to quickly make arrangements with Jeremy to have them shipped to their house. It shouldn't dissuade you from booking, but it is worth mentioning that the shared deck on the main floor is very much shared. The partition doesn't extend very far out so you'll likely get very familiar with the renters next to you. Not a big deal for us, but something to consider. Beach access is quick and easy. Well-stocked kitchen. Overall, we had an excellent visit and would definitely recommend this place for any Topsail renters!

I felt like I was right at home! I didn’t have to take tons of time to get familiar with things because of the labeling. It might seem simple but made the best experience. Light switches, beach towels, pots and pans. Everything labeled so I could go straight to what I needed. The private beach entrance and easily accessible beach accessories made beach day so much fun. We will definitely be back to Carolina Castaway!

Perfect location in a cute community. Easy walk right out to the beach, got to see gorgeous sunsets daily from one of many decks, and ample space on the interior to not feel like we were on top of each other. Justin is also one of the most responsive hosts, which we were so appreciative of.

A beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Very spacious and comfy for a large group. Steps from the ocean. Jeremiah was very accommodating and responsive.

What a perfect lil find! The condo was just as described. It had literally everything you could want or need for a beach vacation! Clear instructions from the host, steps to beach, and a perfectly organized place. Even the light switches were labeled! It was a great fit for the 4 of us (me, husband and 2 older children). The kids shared the loft space with their own bathroom and beds, and me and husband had our own room. The space is also pet friendly, which just made the trip extra special for us! It was the dogs first trip to the beach! We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to book here again!

Loved this week and Samantha was very responsive to our questions throughout the week. We loved how close to the beach we were and how quiet our surroundings were all week even being in a townhouse with neighbors on both sides. Lots of amenities from beach gear to bathroom hand soap to kitchen needs.

Shoua's place was exactly as described. It has wonderful views of the ocean and sound. The beach access is just a few steps away without having to cross the street. The place was clean and well-appointed. The beds and furniture were comfortable. She really thought of every family member you could possibly have, from infants to seniors. Also, having the elevator made it easy get luggage up and down. Communication with Shoua was easy. She was prompt to respond to my messages. She is a great host! I will definitely be returning.

The place was great for our family of 6. Every person had a bath towel and one wash cloth. The decks were great to sit outside for the sunrise! The kitchen amenities aren’t specifically listed, but they are enough if you want to do a bit of cooking. Bring your own beach towels - 2 are provided. We loved how quiet this place was down on the sound end of the island. It is a clean and cute place! We’d definitely come here again, though we were a bit put off that there are three hosts listed and no one responded to the two messages with questions that we sent before and during our stay.
