If you haven't booked your vacation rental yet, our number one suggestion is to BOOK EARLY. Our best rentals get snapped up quickly so now is the time to browse our available rentals, determine the size of your party, figure out your budget, and book it. This is especially true if you have specific requirements (like a rental that is pet-friendly or if you need special accommodations like an elevator).
Once that is done, the rest of your vacation will fall into place. Read on to learn how!

Topsail Island is getting a reputation as a great place to surf and for good reason. Catch some sick waves this summer!
Fishing
Topsail is a fisherman's paradise all year round, with various offerings from the sea depending on the season. You can fish from the shore, from a pier, or from a boat.
Fishing is a family-friendly, cost-effective activity and you can rent fishing equipment locally.
Travel Insurance
It's not fun to talk about but you should make travel insurance part of your vacation plan. It protects you not only in the case of a hurricane or storm, but also in the event of death, sickness, job loss, damage to your vacation home and roadside service!
