Topsail Island is a family-oriented beach. We are located near residential communities and, although this is a holiday destination, it's home to many people. As such we ask that you respect their privacy and their right to a peaceful existence! Please keep noise to a minimum late at night and early morning. We have a "no party and no events" rule to keep noise below an intolerable level for our neighbors. North Topsail Beach has the right to enforce local noise ordinance laws if necessary.
This is a smoke-free home, including the outside area decks surrounding the property. No smoking of any substance, including vaping. Extra charge of $500 to the card on file will apply if smoking of any substance is detected in or on the property, porches, decks, carports etc. No ash trays are provided anywhere simply because we do not allow smoking in or on the property period. Illegal substances of any kind are not permitted on our property as well. If these rules are violated and smoking has been detected, cigarette butts, ashes, etc, left anywhere on premises including but not limited to driveway, trash can, etc, this will be grounds for immediate removal from the property, terminating your stay, without any refund of unused nights, and security deposit will be kept.
