This was our first time in Topsail and couldn't have been more pleased with this beautiful home right on the beach. The hosts took extra care to make the house feel like home, and provided everything you need and more. Hearing the ocean waves and seeing dolphins multiple times a day made this an unforgettable vacation for our family! Both our teenager and two-year-od enjoyed the snack basket, box of toys, games, boogie board, beach chairs, etc. The location made us feel like we had our own private spot on the beach. Topsail has such a quaint, small town feel. Eating lunch at Sears Landing was our favorite (recommended by Lee). We will be back and wouldn't want to stay anywhere else!

Very very beautiful place to stay. Peaceful and quiet as well as a spectacular view of the ocean. Lee the owner is always a text away if needed and I highly recommend staying there for a beautiful beach experience

It was a perfect location for our family. Our two small kids loved the beach and the convinces of being able to walk out the back door to the beach with two littles was perfect. House worked well for our family of 4 and a set of grandparents!

Our 2nd year here and we already can’t wait for next year! Island Time has everything you need and the host is always very responsive to any request, even if it’s minor. It is apparent the owners take great care of their home. Our kids said this is their favorite vacation house and they love being right on the beach! We’ve certainly found our happy place.🏖️❤️😎
