Yes, love Topsail Island. We rented a home in North Topsail for a week a few summers in a row. Very relaxed and low key the last week in August. OP - look on VRBO for rentals. We had a huge, beachfront house with a pool for around $3000, so my guess is you'll easily find something to fit your budget!



Thanks PP (and other PPs)! So many places I haven't heard of and never would have considered. I appreciate all your responses - I've got a lot of research to do!
