Great place to relax!! Not much to do as far as kids are concerned, but that is why we go there. No tourist traps, excellent beach, quiet nights. We have stayed around Myrtle for years, decided to try Topsail for a change-WHAT A DIFFERENCE!. Cheaper rentals, uncrowded beach, nice weather. If you golf, North Shore Country Club is a very... more

I have been to Topsail Island several times and never have I been disappointed! The beach is uncrowded and beautiful,the water is warm and the waves are perfect for boggieboarding! South Topsail is the place to stay in my opinion,although the few hotels are pricey and outdated. I have been to other beach towns where the accomadations,hotels at least, are... more

I have been going here since I was 2, and I absoutely love it. The waves are not as good for surfing but the weather is good all the time pretty much. The houses are clean, furniture is comfy, and the rooms have good views of the ocean. The tradition of ghost crab watching is always fun as well. They... more

We have been going to Topsail Island and renting from "Topsail Realty" for years! It is only 2 hours from Raleigh/Durham and well worth the short drive for even a weekend away! The houses we've rented through Topsail Realty are always clean and well-appointed! ITS AMAZING the savings to rent a "2nd row" house ... it made it possible for... more

Greetings We have visited the Wilmington area looking for a place close to the beach in the future. With the economy as it is we figured there should be some opportunities in the area. We normally went to Writtesville beach and liked it. We always try to go in the off season to see how the economy is supported and... more

I just had to share my very POSITIVE experience of the beautiful rental property located at 100 Ocean View. This without a doubt is one of the premier destinations in NC. The beach is incredible and the views from the top floor were majestic. I spent a week there and really it was one of the most memorable vacations I... more

Well, my family, friends and I have spent the last week organizing our return to Topsail Beach, NC. We could not be more excited! Our trip back in late July 2007 was really amazing. We did rent a beach house from Treasure Realty located in N Topsail on Island Drive in the community of Ocean Ridge. The house itself was... more

I visited the Wilmington area back in July/August this year and we intended to hang out on Wrightsville Beach. Well, on our way in we stopped at Duplin Winery and our host suggested we go instead to Topsail Beach (Tops'l Beach to the locals). It was the best decision of the trip! The beach was WAY less crowded and there... more
