Topsail Beach, North Carolina
TOPSAIL TIME is sure to become a favorite get away!! With a PRIME sound front location only blocks away from the quaint village of downtown Topsail Beach on the desirable south end of Topsail Island, you're within an easy stroll of shops and restaurants but away from the hustle & bustle of seasonal traffic. Cottage is nestled in around a well manicured, beautifully landscape lawn. TOPSAIL TIME is tops in location, views and charm!!
TOPSAIL TIME is truly a secret treasure!
Even though beach access is within a couple of blocks, you'll find yourself feeling settled and right at home on the porch swing or rocking chair, perfect for reading, relaxing and sunsets; or on a lounge chair on the dock, perfect for sunning; or sitting in a beach chair just unwinding, all the perfect place to gather friends for a peaceful afternoon socializing while watching boats or dolphins! The dock also provides access for a boat, a cleaning table to clean the day's catch and a large round picnic table to enjoy a meal or evening cocktails. The covered porch setting is hard to beat and offers front row seating to spectacular sunset water views! Although the cottage is located on the sound of Banks Channel it also provides wonderful marsh views that separate us from the easily accessible Intercostal Waterway.
The cottage itself is full of charm and character! There are new hardwood floors in all the living areas and kitchen and dining areas. A knotty pine ceiling invokes that cozy, warm cottage feel while the colorful, comfortable decor provides a welcoming atmosphere to put your feet up and relax! A glass front of wall to wall windows overlooks the waters of Banks Channel that even on a rare rainy day will lift your spirits! Because of this spectacular view the inside still has the feel of the outside!
All of the living area is located on one floor, with a storage room and washer/dryer under the cottage. All of the main living areas have hardwood floors, with new carpet in the bedrooms. The master bath has a new queen size bed with it's own bathroom with shower. Their are two other bedrooms, one with a new queen bed and the other with sturdy twin bunk beds. The hall full bathroom has a tub with shower. There is also a new green foldout sofa (queen) in the back living area. The front living area has two comfy couches and two club chairs with ottomans so lots of seating is available! The dining room table sits 6 and there is a kitchen bar with 4 barstools. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, utensils and cooking items. There is a washer / dryer located in a storage room under the house. An outside shower with hot and cold water provide a perfect addition to your 'I'm at the beach!' experience!
TOPSAIL TIME is a well behaved pet friendly rental... out of necessity there is a PET FEE of $150 per week for one pet and $235 for two pets. Please ask first if you have any questions about this!
Also if your plans change at the last minute and you decide to bring a pet just let us know, or if you decide not to after you've paid the pet fee, again let us know and we will adjust your account accordingly!
*** We ask that pets NOT be on the furniture or beds unless you've brought a large blanket to totally cover any area they will lay on. This is asked out of respect for our home AND respect for your fellow cottage guests.
*** Wet dogs can stay on the enclosed porch to dry, not in the cottage.
*** We ask that you take your pets over to the large pinestraw-ed area to relief themselves, NOT ON THE GRASS. The urine kills the grass and takes weeks to recover. As you'll see we spend a lot of time and money on our landscaping and ask for your respect concerning that.
TOPSAIL TIME is tucked down a gravel path away from the busyness of life and provides a wonderful, welcoming get away! The grounds are beautifully landscaped and well maintained. Owners are often next door and are happy to answer any questions you may have and respond quickly to any unforeseen issues!
*** We start accepting NEW bookings in JANUARY of each year to give folks time to firm up their vacation schedules. Approved repeaters can request dates at any time.
Book early... you don't want to miss out on some TOPSAIL TIME!!
This was our first time staying sound side, and it won’t be our last.
Perfect location, walking distance to shops, playground, beach and direct access for fishing off the private pier. We have stayed here on several trips over the last years and will continue coming back!
Great location to enjoy the sound and beach for first timers to topsail! Great communication and help from the host.
Great Place and Great Location!
This place is absolutely amazing. It’s quaint and gives the laidback local feel. We have stayed many places in topsail, but this one takes the cake. The view is outstanding. The dock is perfect for fishing and docking a boat. We have a 225 Seahunt and had zero issues docking here. The house sits on the ICWW in a no wake zone so you don’t have to worry about waves causing your boat to rock into the dock. It’s also great because you can take your floats and lounge around in the water without being tossed around. I cant say enough great things about this place. I am always weary when reading reviews because everyone has their own opinion, but I can assure you that this is the perfect place to rent. Edna is a doll as well. She is incredibly responsive and looks out for you during your stay. She’s available all the time and gives great recommendations. By far the best host we have encountered. We can’t wait to stay here again. This will be our go to from now on. Thank you Edna for sharing this wonderful piece of paradise and being so great!
This is the perfect get-away. This is the best location on the entire island. It is truly a gem. We loved being able to fish off the pier and take the kayaks out to the sandbar in the sound (a dream come true for me), and to swim in the sound just steps from the cottage. The cottage is on a quiet street but within walking distance to the Gift Basket, Beach Shop and Grill, Putt Putt, Jolly Roger, etc. Edna is wonderful to work with - super nice and accommodating. Sweet, sweet time there!!! Very thankful!!!
Enjoyed every second of our stay, perfect,thank you
I booked the property because my son was getting married and it was in close proximity to the venue. It was also dog friendly. It’s such a beautiful beach cottage. The host was friendly, accommodating and such a pleasure to work with. My only regret was if I wasn’t so busy with the wedding I could have enjoyed staying at the property more. But while I was there amazing deck views. We even saw dolphins. Totally recommend!
Great location. House was perfect!
We had an amazing weekend staying here. The views were gorgeous and the cottage felt like home. We would definitely stay here again
Fun decor
This was the perfect cottage for our family of three. Edna was such an incredible host and made us feel at home. We will definitely be back! The sunset views from the back porch can not be beat, best we’ve ever seen!
Great location & easy walk to shops/restaurants. Pet, family, kid friendly house. Beautiful sound front sunset views. Sandbar nearby. Highly recommend.
Topsail Time cottage is perfect in every way. I have left there feeling refreshed and looking very much forward to my next stay. The house is wonderful and everything you need is there. The views are amazing and morning coffee of the porch with dolphins, birds, and boat watching were so beautiful. Edna is so easy to reach should you have a need. Highly recommend her place!
Being on the sound was perfect for our family. We fished, jumped off the dock, watched the dolphins swim by and searched for shells all right in front of the house. Our 3 year old grandson loved digging in the sand on our own little beach. The beach house had all the accommodations we needed. Edna was immediately responsive when I called with questions. It is a lovely home to spend your vacation in a beautiful location
Topsail Time is positively perfect - darling, comfortable furnishings, gorgeous views, and ideal location! We are in love and hope to return many times in the future! Host is wonderful and we are so grateful to have experienced a magical, relaxing week with our adult kids and dogs tucked away between sea and sound. ?☀️?
We enjoyed this cute gem of a house for Memorial Day. Being a short walk to the beach but on the intercoastal side, it was the best of both worlds. We enjoyed the kayaks and swings and the kids liked playing football on the lawn.
Awesome weekend, thanks Edna! The place was wonderful. We’ll be back!
Excellent weather. Beautiful view of sound … windows across the whole back of the house. And we enjoyed watching the boats go by. We enjoyed local seafood. We also surf fished at North Topsail. Edna was extremely welcoming and accommodating. This is our third stay here. We will come again.
We've been coming to Topsail for years and this spot really checks all the boxes for us. We've grown to prefer the ICW side of the island over the ocean side, and this home had exactly what we were looking for. The wraparound deck is perfect for lounging with the pups and we loved how quiet it was, so many of the homes on the island are located on the main road, and you really feel removed from all of that while still walking distance from the beach, Beach Shop & Grill and the bookstore.
Perfect location!
From the moment we pulled up and saw the back yard on the water, with the dock and kayaks, we knew we were going to have a great time. As soon as we checked in, we went down and caught about 20 good size spot fish and swam. The next day we took kayaks into the channel and caught several good sized Blue fish for dinner. We stay on TI several times a year and always get a different place to experience new things. I am already figuring out when we can go back to Edna’s place. It was the perfect relaxing and refreshing oasis for our weekend.
