Neighbourhood
The southern tip of North Carolina is flanked by the lovely port city of Wilmington and miles of pristine, sandy coastline. Topsail Island is a barrier island that stretches 26 miles along the Atlantic Ocean. It is home to three seaside towns: North Topsail Beach, Surf City, and Topsail Beach. The northernmost community, North Topsail Beach, provides that toes-in-the-sand, small-town vibe you might crave from a beach vacation, far from chain restaurants and crowded bars. Aside from being a hotbed for water sports like surfing and paddleboarding, North Topsail Beach is also widely known for its conservation efforts, including preserving the many loggerhead turtle nesting sites.
Though North Topsail Beach is rarely crowded, you’ll get the best weather in spring (March through May) or fall (September through November). The summer months are pleasant, but certainly more crowded than the rest of the year. Both the water and air temperatures are often warm enough to enjoy the beach and its water sports through late October.
Nearest airport
Just 43 miles south of North Topsail Beach, Wilmington International Airport (ILM) is the closest airport. If you’re flying into North Carolina from overseas, you may arrive via Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), which is 246 miles to the northwest. While Topsail Island has rideshare services and taxi companies, you’ll want to rent a car from either airport to get around North Topsail Beach, which is one of the more remote sections of this area of coastline.
We had a wonderful week at Kimberly's stunning beach home. There were incredible sea views from all the front windows including the spacious living room/kitchen/outside deck. There was so much room for my family to relax, cook, take in the scenery and enjoy the beach and pool. They thought of everything with this house! The beds were comfortable, very nice linens, and lovely bathrooms. Everything was very clean.
Topsail Island is family friendly with uncrowded long, clean beaches and plenty of choices for eating out or taking in. The water temperature (end of August) was heavenly. We loved our daily walks collecting shells and shark teeth fossils.
We had friendly, warm and thorough communication from Kimberly from start to finish.
Thank you for sharing your very special home with us! We would love to return someday. Sophie, Tim and Gabriel
Was a pleasure to meet Tim y Kim upon arrival their home has whatever you would ever need for a lifetime on the beach Was great listening to the ocean every night
They started us off with a beautiful basket of goodies This was their first exchange and we felt blessed to be able to stay here
Very easy to get around on the little island definitely recommend having a car
Looking forward to hosting them in January and hope we get to meet up
Don’t hesitate if you have the opportunity to stay in their beautiful home

Again thanks for being such great hosts

It was a true delight to host Sophie and her family. Coordinating the exchange was a breeze, thanks to Sophie’s prompt and clear communication.
Throughout their stay, Sophie kept in touch and seamlessly integrated into our home. They were the ideal guests, and I genuinely hope to have the opportunity to meet them in person someday!
Sheila and James were the perfect house guests. It was our first exchange and they were very sweet as we didn't have alot of instructions for them (but relax and enjoy the house/area) but they are so easy going it seemed to not be a big deal. We felt like we'd known them forever once we left the house in their care.
Sheila kept us updated on the house and shared some of their daily activities with us!
Highly recommend Sheila and James as house guests. Can't wait until January to enjoy their home in Tulum, MX!
Gracias for the kind words
