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.

2/10 Terrible

Susan S.

We switched properties because of the mold and fly paper in the kitchen
Didn’t stay at this property due to moldy smell in 2 lower stories of the house and the fact that it didn’t meet our minimum requirements for the kind of beach house we needed for a celebration weekend.
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2017

Tracy B.

Not worth the price...
The location is great! Couldn’t be better. That what I will give 2stars for. Other then that it was worth the price. No linens are provided.. who travels with linens? For that price they should be included. The house smelled terrible like mold or mildew. We got used to it eventually. As far as cleanliness goes they need to find new cleaners. The sliding door to the patio was filthy when we got there. Also under the deck is full of garbage& beer cans, there were beer cans stuffed in random places outside ... all that being said this is no where near worth paying their rate a night! So if you’re going to stay here plan to bring or buy lots! Toilet paper, towels, rags, paper towel, etc! There wasn’t even a pizza cutter... the point of renting a house is the conveniences of it. The only convenience here was the location.

Perfect
We had a girls weekend at this house and it was PERFECT! Plenty of room for 10 women and more than enough bathrooms. Oceanfront with an amazing view and plenty of room on the deck for us to hang out. We could not has asked for a better home for our weekend. It was clean and spacious. The team at Access Realty was great! Every time I had a question and trying to meet the needs of 10 ppl they were on top of everything. We try to do a different beach every year but everyone wants to come back to this beach and this house. One of our best vacations.

Perfect Weekend!
I booked this house for a girls weekend, after reading the reviews I was a bit nervous but everyone in the office assured me all the previous items has been handled. They were right! Everyone in the office got right back to me within minutes of my emails. The house was perfect! We didn't have one issue with anything that I had previously read in the reviews. We had a wonderful weekend and the house was so perfect for 10 ladies. Plenty of bathrooms and space for everyone. The view and the area were perfect. We didn't spend much time inside all weekend, we were on the beach or the huge deck from morning until night. We loved this place, our best house for all the trips we take. We try to do different beaches each year but they want to do the same house again, it was so perfect for us.

2/10 Terrible

1 month stay with our 3 little ones
Our experience in this home was very unpleasant. It started with having no heat when we arrived from a 13 hour drive with 3 kids under 3 at 4am...slept in the bitter cold as it was only on the high 20's when we arrived...this was only the beginning...we had mouse poop in the house, had to have traps put in, and one was caught in a LiVe trap that my mother had to listen to all night in her room, who puts in LIVE traps. The cookware was rusty and they delivered new ones but aren't there people that inspect this...crazy. Everything listed in the review before us, was NEVER fixed...went to bake a casserole and the oven took forever to heat up and then did not cool it properly...toaster oven broken..the outdoor furniture was terrible and the deck needs to be restrained. We got so many splitters. It certainly is not maintained. Then at the end of it all, we find out it is the owners home that owns Access Reality..says a lot about a rental company on the island. If you have booked this place, I would definitely reconsider. We traveled with our 12 month old baby, 19 month old and 3 year and 2 dogs...we did not have the time to spend having people come over to constantly work on a home that we were vacationing at..they did not care to do resolve anything after communicating our concerns after the departure. They already got our $$$$...think twice staying here.

New Years family get together
Great location with plenty of room. Great beach access. Unfortunately, there were a number of problems. Neither the dishwasher or the oven worked the entire time. One of the main floor bathtubs/showers barely drained at all. There numerous burned out light bulbs. Linens and towels are not provided. (We weren't told that until after I had given the rental agency my credit card. We were able to rent linens/towels for a bit more than $100 for 3 nights.). We would not select this particular property again.
