Perfect location for enjoying Topsail Island!
Looking for that laid back beach vacation where you can bring your boat or jet ski without the hassle of the public boat ramp and no overnight slips? If so, come to Slip Away on Topsail Island! You are sure to find all you need for your perfect beach vacation.

Location:
This recently updated home is located within a small/quiet neighborhood off South Shore Drive/HWY 50 in Surf City, about 3 miles south of the high-rise bridge and just across the street from the ocean.

The location allows vacationers to enjoy walking, running, and biking just steps away from the beach. When staying at Slip Way, you will not have far to go to enjoy a day on the beach; the house is located just 350 feet from the private beach access. If you enjoy fishing or boating, bring your boat (26' limit) or jet ski and launch it using our private neighborhood boat ramp; then dock it for the duration of your stay at our Lucky #7 slip in the nearby canal. Lunch at the picnic table then enjoy sunbathing on the upper deck of the house or read a favorite book sitting in the porch swing in the shade of the lower deck.

Area:
Topsail Island is a family-oriented beach. Visitors enjoy Topsail, returning year after year, because of the many miles of uncrowded sandy beaches. Perfect for swimming, walking, sunbathing, fishing, or simply relaxing. If you have not already experienced it, a sunset stroll along the pedestrian walkway on our beautiful new bridge is spectacular. The peak of the bridge provides panoramic views in all directions. Be sure to bring your camera! But you must be here to experience it. You will fall in love with the island.

Our family has owned vacation homes on the island for over 40 years; so, we know what special memories families can create on Topsail Island. We have designed Slip Away to provide the perfect location for your memories with family and friends.

Great vacation in a wonderful house!
Our week at Slip Away was fantastic! This felt like home and not a rental. The owner has the property well stocked with most anything you would need. Home was in great condition and very clean. Perfect location!! We will definitely be back :)

Best spot in Surf City
This is our second summer staying at Slip Away and it continues to be a perfect spot for us. We bring a boat and love the access to the slip and ICW and the beach access is fantastic. The house is always in great shape and well appointed with everything we need. Finally, we’ve found the community around the house to be welcoming and friendly. This is a truly unique space and if you’re considering it, don’t hesitate. You won’t be disappointed.

Great Place. Comfortable and spacious.
Nice space. Easily accommodated two families, including 2 young kids, a teen and 4 adults. The cleaners were still there when we arrived at 4:00 but they cleaned up well even in a hurry. Host was very accommodating. Short walk to beach. We rented a golf cart to scoot to town. Great trip.
