Kid-friendly vacation rentals in North Topsail Beach

Amazing stay! The place was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described, everything we needed was right there. It felt like a home away from home. We unexpectedly had trouble with our truck not starting, and the host went above and beyond by allowing us to leave it there until it could be towed. She was incredibly responsive, kind, and understanding throughout the whole situation. That kind of hospitality made a huge difference in our trip. We felt completely taken care of. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an stress-free, comfortable place to stay!

Perfect location. Everything was clean and it was well-stocked. Check-out instructions were extremely minimal, it was nice to not feel like we had to spend hours leaving like some other places. It is right next to a public beach access, so there was a lot of foot traffic, but the people moved on quickly and settled further down the beach. I wish there were screens in the windows so that we could have opened them, but the sliding door does have a screen which was nice. The owner was very responsive and friendly. We really enjoyed ourselves!

The beachfront location was amazing. We really enjoyed spending most of our time on the beach and the deck. The house is small, but if you intend to spend most of your time outside, it's perfect. The house shows it's age in a few areas, but this didn't affect our stay. The A/C kept it nice and cool during some hot humid days. The deck was perfect for morning coffee, watching a storm roll in, hanging out in the evenings, and most importantly private beach access! Most of the surf city shops and restaurants were only a 5 minute drive away. Overall, this was a great spot for a relaxing stay at the beach. We would book it again.

My family and I had a great three night stay. We’ve always wanted to stay right on the ocean and it was so worth it. The house is spacious but still cozy. We travelled with our 8 month old and used the high chair and baby gate. We loved watching the sun come up over the ocean each morning. Emily was communicative and friendly. Would definitely return!

We had a great stay. Every thing was as described. John was very quick to respond to any questions.

Loved the location. I wasn't sure about everyone in our group liking being so close to the "hubbub", but that ended up being what something we really liked about the place. Lots of things to do that are walkable. Shops, restaurants, bars, coffee houses, a beautiful walkway along the intracoastal waterway, a kids playground... And the view can't be beat! Well stocked kitchen- like truly everything you could possibly need. Lots of seating on the deck. All the things! Mom was over the moon about her 90th birthday celebration.

Dune it right was AMAZING! My wife and I had a fantastic weekend. House was just footsteps away from the beach! Everything was extremely clean. The host Carrie was awesome and very responsive. Would recommend a stay here to anyone! Thanks Carrie! Can’t wait to come back and stay longer.

We had an excellent time at Alex's house on the Topsail Beach. Just steps from beach access, Alex has outfitted his home with all the beach toys needed for a family with umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards etc. This was so helpful and a nice treat. The home is clean and well kept; having the separate space for our teenage girls was really nice too. We hope to be back!

Great location and vibes, definite recommendation for anyone looking to explore the beach area!

Great location tucked back in an older neighborhood on the water, clean and comfortable sleeping arrangements.

Jo’s place was just beautiful! It was exactly as pictured and more comfortable than one could imagine. The beds were SO comfortable! Her place was VERY clean and tastefully decorated. The condos as a whole were also kept up nicely as well. We had everything we needed and Jo was quick to respond whenever we had a question. We can’t say enough about the location. It was so great to be SO CLOSE to the beach. Sitting out on the deck in the mornings was one of the highlights. Beautiful view and the sounds of the waves…just wow! Walks on the beach in the mornings and evenings made our trip. We are already looking forward to our return!

Such a special, unique experience! Amazing location, easy walk to beach, as well as coffee, food and shops. The space’s aesthetic was great, and the layout very functional.

Sara’s place was amazing, the view of the river and water street from the balcony was incredible, the location can’t be beat for exploring downtown Wilmington, the river walk is only a few steps away from your front door, you have all the best restaurants and coffee shops and bars in downtown Wilmington within a few blocks of you, I took the riverwalk all the way to the concert I went to at live oak and really enjoyed the whole experience. Not to mention the unit itself was very well put together and super nice and my significant other really loved the interior design aspects. It made it tough for us to leave and go out and explore downtown because we wanted to enjoy the unit, so we were torn lol. Everything was great the location is tucked away on the river but still in the heart of the hustle and bustle. The only small issue we had was parking, even with the parking pass we had trouble finding parking all the lots were full both days we were there, so you may end up having to pay for

My husband and I enjoyed spending the weekend here for a wedding! The apartment is beautifully situated over the water with an amazing view. Right near the apartment is a local place to get drinks. The apartment is walking distance to everything, but also far enough where we didn’t hear a lot of noise. Aubrey was very responsive and gave explicit directions. It was helpful to have the parking garage which wasn’t far away at all! We also appreciated the “manual” with recommendations for local favorites including shopping and restaurants! The apartment was nicely decorated and clean. We would definitely stay there again! Thank you!

Place was great! Cute and cozy with everything we could need. All instructions were clear, check in was a breeze. Very close to downtown and all the fun stuff! Home within a few minutes after the concert ended! Highly recommend this space☺️

What a lovely home in beautiful historic Wilmington! The location could not have been better: it is walking distance to the riverwalk, restaurants, shopping, and much more. The balcony was an added pleasure; we enjoyed coffee every morning with a beautiful view and tranquil evenings after dinner. Thank you, Steven. We will be back for sure!

We loved our stay at Daniel’s condo. The location was perfect, couple steps away from the beach and pool access. The condo itself was spacious for our family of 5 with renovated kitchen and bathrooms. Daniel was a great host that was always responsive and even came and brought us extra towels when we needed them which we greatly appreciated. Loved our stay here and would definitely book again when we are back in Surf City!

Everything we needed was there in the condo. Really enjoyed the area and host was easy to work with when we came a day early.

We had a great time at Rachel's condo, the place was amazing and is better than the listing shows.

Jen was fantastic! I had booked last minute and so did another family on a different platform. Jen worked tirelessly to get us a place in the same resort. She made it happen and we had a great time!

This was our 2nd time visiting Topsail Dunes, and Kara and Kim's place did not disappoint. The unit is exactly as pictured, is thoughtfully stocked with most things you need, and is a paradise away from home. There really are beach chairs waiting for you, a beach umbrella and anchor...you don't need to pack all that stuff. There are plenty of dishes, and enough cookware for anything we wanted to whip up. The washer/dryer are a major plus! The view and breeze from this 3rd floor unit are breathtaking. And, you will not ever get tired of the sounds of the waves rolling in. The hosts? Fabulous communication, friendly as can be, really seem to love sharing their place and it shows. I highly recommend this unit and these hosts. Kara and Kim, thank you! We will be back. Also, don't overlook the freedom of scheduling. Some hosts restrict you to Saturday-to-Saturday rentals. We were able to do 8 nights and would do it again! Thanks Kara & Kim!

Perfect family (with children) property. 4 pools (two kiddo pools) right on the beach, great restaurant onsite, and the room was perfectly decorated and accommodating. Arcade game and board games with ample Comfy seating was very nice. We would go back with all the kids without hesitation (and we are picky when it comes to where we stay for what we pay). Thanks for hosting us!

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully prepared to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The unit was spotless, beautifully decorated and full stocked with everything we needed - from kitchen essentials to beach gear. The view was wonderful and sipping coffee on the balcony was excellent! Access to the pool and beach were extremely convenient, just steps from the elevator. Thanks for a great stay!

Loved staying at Bee and Joe’s place! Beautiful home with beautiful ocean views! Close and easy access to the beach. Convenient to go back and grab a snack or anything else when needed. Well stocked with supplies to get you started. They send timely messages with needed information for check in and check out, and are quick to respond when messaged. Perfect beach vacation! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Bee and Joe for a lovely family vacation spot!
