4. Enough Bedrooms & Bathrooms for Everyone

This is probably one of the biggest reasons families opt for a vacation rental. You can choose the size of the rental you need to properly accommodate your family. Having enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone is key to an enjoyable, relaxing vacation. Check out our great selection of rental properties with 1-6 bedrooms. 

5. More Privacy

You and your family get more privacy in a vacation rental because it's all yours during your stay. There aren't others in the same space at the same time, so you can feel good about knowing your family is safe and that your privacy is valued. You can't put a price on that!

6. Proximity to Popular Topsail Island Attractions

No matter where you choose to stay on Topsail Island, you're never too far from the places you want to explore during your vacation. Topsail Island itself is only 26-miles long from end to end, and even when you drive off-island, you are close enough to visit other popular attractions nearby including Wilmington, NC.

7. Amazing Views

When you vacation on a barrier island, you get the double benefit of amazing coastal sunrises and sunsets to enjoy no matter where you are. Atlantic Ocean views abound on one side coupled with stunning soundside views of the Intracoastal Waterway on the other side. It's a win-win.

8. Vacation Rental Kitchens

Don't underestimate the value of having your own kitchen during your Topsail beach vacation. It's one of those little things that makes a big difference, especially if you're sticking to a vacation budget. Parents also know how important it is to be able to enjoy a meal or two in each day so that you don't have wrangle everyone up and get them ready to go out out every time you want to eat. A vacation rental kitchen just makes vacation life so much easier. 

9. Swimming Pools

Swimming pools are often synonymous with summer vacation, so we make it easy to peruse Topsail vacation rentals that include pools. Whether it's a condo complex that offers a community pool or a vacation rental home with a private pool, you're sure to find just what you're looking for during your rental search.  

10. Pets Welcome

Last but certainly not least, many families want to bring their dog along on their Topsail Island beach vacation.
