Make Waves: 6 Beach Vacation Rentals in Topsail Island
Let’s be real, vacation you is the best you. Windblown hair, sandy feet, and a permanent sun-kissed glow? Yes, please.
And the key to unlocking peak vacation mode? Staying in a rental that’s as laid-back as you feel. Fortunately, that’s easy on Topsail Island. It's all coastal charm, beachfront beauty, and poolside perfection—basically everything you need to hit pause on reality.
Check out these North Topsail beach rentals, then pack your bags because paradise is calling.
A Beach Haven
15 Guests, 6 Bedrooms, 4.5 Bathrooms
Forget alarm clocks. At A Beach Haven, your new wake-up call involves ocean waves and the golden sunrise glow spilling into your six-bedroom palace. This is where families become sandcastle architects and the hot tub becomes your personal zen den (splash fights optional, of course).
The magic? A reverse floor plan that puts those knockout ocean views center stage, whether you're flipping pancakes in your swimsuit or debating whose turn it is to mix the margaritas. Kids get their own bunk bed fortress (translation: Parents get actual alone time), while two master suites boast king-sized beds so comfy you'll never want to leave.
Between private beach access for spontaneous saltwater plunges and a community pool for when you want to swim without Mother Nature's exfoliating sand scrub, every day serves up new ways to play. Pro tip: The deck was made for dolphin-spotting contests, so bring your camera and competitive spirit.
Nice And Nauti
10 Guests, 4 Bedrooms, 4 Bathrooms
Nice and Nauti is your waterfront command center, where every day feels like you’re living in a feel-good summer flick. Tucked away in Surf City’s Hidden Cove, this pet-friendly paradise nails the coastal lifestyle with stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway and serious “is this real life?” energy.
Your four-legged sidekicks will be in sniffing heaven with trails to explore, while the humans get the best of both worlds: quiet sound-side mornings with coffee and ocean-side adventures just steps away, thanks to the private beach walkway. No stair battles here, either. The elevator makes it easy for everyone to glide from floor to floor, luggage and all.
Kids will call dibs on the pyramid bunk beds, teens will turn the deck into their personal photo zone, and the grownups? They’ll pretend cornhole’s just a casual game until someone breaks out a scoreboard. This is the kind of beach escape where memories come easy and nobody has to miss out on the fun.
Seashell Cove 51 Bermuda Landing
8 Guests, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms
Get ready to discover your new happy place at Seashell Cove 51 Bermuda Landing. At this spot, slowing down doesn’t take effort; it just happens. The breeze comes off the water, the sun filters through the porch railings, and suddenly you're super chill and ready to relax.
As far as Topsail house rentals go, this three-bedroom, two-bath townhouse feels like it was made for daydreamers. Mornings start with coffee and the sound of birds skimming the water. Afternoons melt into quiet time on the porch or casual walks to the beach. Even rainy days feel special here, with the soft patter on the windows and the kind of stillness you don’t get back home.
Inside, everything is warm and welcoming. Nothing fussy. Just the kind of place that makes it easy to relax, settle in, and stay a little longer than planned. And when the evening rolls in, you’ll want to be out on the dock, watching the sky change and wondering why you didn’t come here sooner.
Anchor Down
12 Guests, 4 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms
Rule the waves from your own beachside escape at Anchor Down, where the Atlantic feels like it’s showing up just for you. Mornings start with the water sparkling just beyond the deck, and the reverse floorplan makes sure the main living area gets the best view in the house.
Below, three cozy bedrooms open straight onto the lower deck, giving everyone a front-row seat to the sea. There’s also a tucked-away bedroom up on the second floor, offering a little extra privacy while still keeping that ocean view close.
The kitchen is fully stocked for seafood nights, family favorites, or whatever takeout you declare fit for the table. And with two big decks, you’ve got a spot for sunrise coffee and another for sunset cocktails, plus a foot bath so the sand stays where it belongs.
Your private path to the beach leads to a quiet gazebo that somehow makes every hour feel golden. It’s where dolphin sightings, naps, and evening stargazing all feel like part of the plan. And if you ever do decide to leave, Surf City and Snead’s Ferry are just down the road.
Gone Coastal
9 Guests, 4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Bathrooms
Warning: Gone Coastal may cause extreme relaxation, spontaneous beach naps, and a strong desire to stay forever. Just a few blocks from Surf City, this sun-soaked beach house puts you within flip-flop distance of the shore and even closer to full vacation mode.
There’s no stress pulling in, as plenty of parking and a covered carport make arrival easy. And the outdoor shower is a nice touch, perfect for rinsing off after a beach run. Inside, everything feels light, open, and ready for your crew to settle in and relax. The kitchen is ready for anything from pancake stacks to late-night snacks. The living room? Cushy, coastal, and built for couch-flopping.
Three bedrooms promise to host the pre-sunset nap squad on the first floor, each with its own smart TV. Plus, there’s a queen suite upstairs, tucked away with its own bath and private deck access so you can enjoy the ocean breeze with a side of alone time.
Bella Luna
10 Guests, 4 Bedrooms, 2.5 Bathrooms
Welcome to your new favorite place on earth, where "going overboard" isn't possible because you're already living your best canal-front life. That’s right. Bella Luna doesn't mess around when it comes to vacation luxury.
It all starts with five comfy bedrooms spread out so everyone gets their space. The master suite has a king bed and its own canal-view deck for slow, quiet mornings. The others mix in queens and twins, making it easy for all your travel mates to find the perfect comfy spot to crash. And yes, every room has a smart TV, so bedtime battles over the remote? Not happening.
There’s a private hot tub for evening soaks and a screened-in porch that lets you lounge without the bugs. There's even your own boat dock because why not? But perhaps the best part is the crowsnest—your personal sky lounge with scenic views, a wet bar, and seating so comfortable you might never come down.
