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!
r>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 throughout the cottage. 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 kfloors, 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 cottage comfortably sleeps 6 (SIX). 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 large sectional couch, swivel club chair with ottomans and a comfy recliner 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 $175 per week for one pet and $255 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 usually 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!!

    The location is perfect!! The house is centrally located in Topsail Beach. Walking and/or biking distance to everything. We only drove in our car to see what the next towns were like. The house is a little dated, but newer living room furniture makes it cozy. If you are thinking of staying here, remember to bring coffee, tea bags and Kleenex to name a few things. The kayaks were great as we were able to enjoy a quick ride out to sand dunes. Tuck’s sunset cruise was a nice boat ride - although no sun was out to set. Overall, nice place. I would stay here again.

    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!

    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!!!

    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!
