Enter into tranquility in this beautifully decorated beach house in Topsail Island! Enjoy the covered front porch by listening to the ocean and rocking your stress away. 

Once you enter the home into the main living area, you are greeted with island elegance. To the right, the living room provides comfortable furniture and a large flat screen TV for the days that you need to get out of the sun. To your left, the well appointed dining area flows into the updated kitchen.

Down the hallway to your left is the laundry area, complete with a full size washing machine and dryer. On the right is the second bedroom with a queen bed and twin bed, as well as the third bedroom with a queen bed and a shared full bath between. At the end of the hallway, enter into the Master suite where you can curl up with your favorite book in the queen size bed. Your own private ensuite master bathroom awaits for washing off the day.

Beach Therapy also offers an enclosed hot and cold outdoor shower, beach chairs, outdoor games, a beach wagon, and bikes to explore the island! Enjoy a friendly game of cornhole in the large outdoor space below the house too! If you decide to venture out, the location is top notch! Beach Therapy is situated on a quiet, peaceful side street that's perfect for evening strolls along the canals. Take a short drive to the center of Surf City where you will find numerous shops and restaurants. Within walking distance to a convenience store and a few local hotspots as well.

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.
