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.

We loved bringing our sweet fur baby for his first beach trip! It was our first time staying literally on the beach! The entire house was beautiful and well stocked! We pretty much sat out on the deck or out on the beach the entire time. For the most part we have the beach to ourselves which was wonderful and the people we did come in contact with were so nice! The stairs were a little bit steep but other than that everything was perfect
Beautiful place. Location is perfect. House is comfortable. Only thing I would mention is that the additional a/c units are very loud, but definitely needed. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook for a family. We really enjoyed our stay.
We were just steps from the shore. Multi level decks to look at the beach. Stayed with our adult children. There was plenty of room for family meals and time - also room to enjoy time apart. Location had plenty to do, close to Surf City. Would love to go back!
Everything was as listed and everyone had a great time. Plenty of space, kitchen very well equipped with everything needed for a large group and you can’t beat the views. Would definitely come back.
Great family getaway. Enjoy your morning coffee on one of two beachfront balconies and listen to the soothing waves crashing just feet from your steps. Home is as pictured with beautiful decor and family amenities. Will certainly be returning to this one!!
We were very impressed with the cleanliness and furnishings in our house. We had everything we needed. The linens provided were great!The one minor comment is about the sliding glass door in the king bedroom. There was no latch, but there was a bar to keep anyone from opening the door. It made my daughter a little apprehensive at first so I slept in the other bedroom on that floor the first couple of nights.The above information indicates we stayed Saturday to Saturday but we actually stayed Sunday to Sunday and really enjoyed it!
We liked this property- it was as clean as can be, with complimentary items like dish soap and hand soap- but no complimentary toilet paper or paper towels like we have gotten at other VRBO properties. The TVs were difficult to work, and the wait to check in at 4pm a little long, but other than that it was a really good experience. This is a location so far from restaurants or grocery stores that I would recommend bringing food instead of eating out
The home itself was very spacious and nicely decorated. Everything we needed but the steps are so narrow. I had to go down the steps sideways to have my whole foot on the step. Not recommend for the elderly with standing issues.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Charged for damage you didn't do
Charged for window handles being damaged. Exaggerated checkout pictures.Left pots out and pictured them after they were put in dishwasher. Sheets and comforters were piled in halfway and pictured as if we left them like that. Great location but a little shameless and classless to do such a thing.
We had a great time. This was the cleanest rental house I've visited. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was very clearly labeled, and there was plenty of space for us to place all our things. As the listing says, you'll want to bring a lot of your own items (soap, toilet paper, etc), but there were sample size items for toiletries in each bathroom too. We took advantage of the beach and appreciated the beach toys and chairs that were at the house. We also loved that there was a supply of children's books, as we weren't able to pack too many.
Our only issue was with the linen rental company, but the property manager was easy to get in touch with and took care of that for us.
A couple safety gates would have been useful, given all the stairs, but we barricaded with furniture as necessary.
I would absolutely recommend Sea Rie-Treat to anyone looking for a place right on the beach. The only exception would be for anyone with difficulty navigating stairs.
