Things To Do
Topsail Island is a hidden gem along the NC coast, known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and charming coastal towns like Surf City. From sunbathing and swimming to fishing and surfing, there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy on this beautiful island. Explore the local shops and restaurants, take a fishing cruise out with an area fishing guide, or simply relax on the beach and soak up the sun. With so much to see and do on Topsail Island, your vacation will be filled with unforgettable memories and moments of pure relaxation. Topsail Island is a 28-mile-long barrier island made up of marshes, estuaries, dunes, and shorelines. Sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, “Tops’l” as the locals call it, is home to several fishing piers including the Seaview Fishing Pier. 875 feet of planks were used to construct this pier, which is the longest pier on the North Carolina coast. Privately owned shops, restaurants and attractions abound on Topsail, as well as the neighboring mainland towns. Learn the history of Topsail at the Missiles and More Museum and understand how to be a good steward of the sea at the Touch Tank Aquarium in Surf City and the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitation Center for laid back and family friendly things to do on Topsail. Each of these attractions offers its own unique charm and adds to the allure of a vacation on Topsail Island.
We look forward to your visit!

Great mini-birthday getaway

My husband, Jack Russell Terrier Fur daughter, and I stayed here Oct 12-16, 2023 for a long birthday weekend. It's an awesome beach cottage, fully stocked, ample space, the fenced in backyard is awesome, and the proximity to the beach cannot be beat! We lucked out with terrifically warm weather and was able to view the solar eclipse. There's plenty of space to cook, eat, and lounge at night. No occupied neighbors so it was very quiet too, close to shopping and gas for last minute items. There's laundry but it is outside the cottage on the first level, not a huge deal because we travel with a collapsible laundry basket, and it functioned perfectly. Linens were included, nice and clean (wrapped so also hygienic) with plenty of towels. We only had to call PM once and they instantly rectified the issue (digital lock was stuck due to moisture). Overall, we 'd love to go back, thanks for the super memories!

Perfect location

Loved the house, the proximity to the beach was wonderful. The only way it would have been better was to be directly on the beach. Very quiet area - we loved that we could bring our dog and that the beach is so dog friendly. King sized bed was comfortable. You rent the linens and they are in a plastic tub on the porch. We had a small issue with the cable and someone was there almost immediately and corrected the problem. Definitely will rent here again.

Great Location - Bring your cleaning supplies

Great location with easy access to the beach & ocean view. Nice deck & backyard. Living area and kitchen bright & sunny with plenty of space. Bathrooms, especially showers would benefit from better cleaning. Could not use closet in one bedroom due to pet odors.

Not as listed

Lots of work needs to be done to maintain safety. Swing under house leaned back ended up flipping grown adult out onto concrete. Bunk bed screws cam off and toddler felt backwards off of bed-someone cane that day but was not able to repair it; water way TOO hot burn hazard for toddlers. Short in master bedroom-plug in and light did not work; dirty floors on arrival; location-perfect! Less than 50 steps to beautiful sand and sea; beds soft, linens were nice,

Perfect vacation spot

Just steps from the beach and the home is perfect. Feels like home away from home. Very well equipped kitchen was great for family meals. Dogs enjoyed the fenced yard and the family enjoyed the spacious living area. We were all very pleased. Only about 25 to 30 minute drive to Camp Geiger.

Great place

My wife, 3 kids, mother, and two dogs stayed over Thanksgiving. Great house with lots of unusual but welcome amenities. Like good water, which was a very nice benefit and not something any other beach rental house I have visited has ever provided. The doggie door leading to the gated porch with access to the back yard was perfect. The kitchen was nicely appointed for serving a large Thanksgiving dinner. Overall, a great stay.

Awesome Stay at Salty Paws

My husband, 2 Jack Russell Terriers, and I enjoyed a wonderful time at the the Salty Paws cottage (Oct 12-16, 2021). The location is fantastic, just footsteps to beach access, and an overall convenient location to shopping and TI. The cottage was immaculate when we arrived and the linens were fresh and plentiful! The fenced-in backyard was the perfect size for our pups and the cottage is extremely cozy and fully stocked! The main house lock is digital as opposed to a physical key, which by the ocean, is a HUGE bonus: no key to carry around and no lock to get corroded! Everything that could be needed can be found in one of the drawers of the renovated, spacious kitchen. There's an island and a large farmhouse table for plenty of eating. The massive sectional provided tons of room for us all to relax. The high porches allow views to the ocean and ICW as well as afford fresh breezes to enjoy for afternoon coffee. I could definitely see us returning the the Salty Paws! Thanks for hosting us!

Perfect Place

This was the perfect place to stay with my family. The beach was so close, a 1-minute walk, so we would play on the beach and go to the house for food and go back to the beach. I will come back to this house next year for sure!

Beautiful Property right on the water

We loved our stay at this property. It was right on the water (1 min walk to the beach) and the place was super cute. It was fully equipped and we did not need to go anywhere for anything other than our groceries. It was also super quiet. The backyard was great for our pup to run around in. The porch was also excellent for those late relaxing evenings where you can sit and enjoy the ocean breeze. All in all we will be definitely coming back as this is a top choice from all our previous stays on the Carolina coast.
