The Topsail communities, honestly.
Every HOA and rental community that matters on Topsail. Where each one sits, what's actually on-property, who it fits, and the things you only figure out after you've stayed.

North Topsail Beach
Villa Capriani
An oceanfront resort condo complex on the quiet north side of the island. Three pools, multiple hot tubs, an on-site restaurant, direct beach access, and one of the most tropical-feeling stays on the entire North Carolina coast.

Topsail Beach
Queens Grant
A gated, water-access community with its own marina, boat ramp, pool, and playground. One of the few Topsail communities where you can bring your own boat.

Surf City
Turtle Cove
A friendly townhome community on the south side of Surf City. Bikeable to town, steps from Kenneth D. Batts Family Park, small community pool, and a rare Topsail thing: neighbors who actually hang out together.

North Topsail Beach
St. Regis Resort
An oceanfront resort with an indoor pool, a heated year-round covered pool, a 7th-floor restaurant with panoramic ocean views, and more amenities than any other resort on the island.

Surf City
Surf Condos
A 180-unit oceanfront complex just north of the Surf City Pier. Walkable, and one of the most convenient stays on the island for anyone who wants to be near everything without dealing with the biggest crowds.

Topsail Beach
Serenity Point
The southernmost point of Topsail Island. Adjacent to a 150-acre permanent nature preserve, with one of the most peaceful stretches of beach and sound on the entire North Carolina coast.
