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

It began as a fishing village, so it's one of the few places that isn't overgrown with towering high rises and resorts. There are many houses and condos for rent so that you... more

My extended family and I have been vacationing on Topsail every summer since 1985. We like it because it's not the hectic pace of someplace like Myrtle Beach--more a quiet family oriented island lacking the crowds and loud carryings-on at some resorts. We enjoy swimming, the sun, hunting the beach for fossilized shark teeth, eating fresh seafood and catching up... more

We just came back from an amazing family reunion week on North Topsail Beach. The water is clean, warm and sooo inviting! We had wonderful weather..not scorching hot. Karaoke on Wed night at Rick's was a lot of fun. We ate at Long Island Pizza..very good but Friday nights are crazy! We had a more formal meal at Indigo Marsh... more

We just got home from our families first vacation to the beach and I have to say that I was some what disappointed. I am writing this review to give a more "real" (in my opinion of course) review of TopSail Island. We stayed at St. Regis Resort - in one of the 3BR Point condos. The resort in general... more
