Hey all you Hot2Travel people! Here is our latest excursion to Topsail Beach, North Carolina. We were invited to stay at the Four Dreamers beach rental during the week of August 14 through August 21, 2010.
Topsail Beach is near the southern end of 26-mile long Topsail Island, off the coast of southeastern North Carolina. Topsail Island is just off US Highway 17, about half-way between Wilmington and Jacksonville, North Carolina.
Our vacation officially started with a 6:30 PM check-in at the Four Dreamers beach rental. Four Dreamers is a beautifully decorated, two story rental home, with plenty of room for eight adults, and is in close proximity to the ocean. There is a storage closet on the ground level and the owners allow pets for an additional fee. The public beach access right across the street makes it easy for visitors who like taking walks on the beach, fishing, searching for shells, riding the waves, or just lounging in a beach chair for hours reading a favorite book or magazine. We took advantage of those activities and much more.
On our first night we decided to sample some of the local food and chose the Home Port Restaurant & Pub. There we enjoyed three large pizzas, salads, and beverages. We had enough left over for lunch the next day! After a trip to several local markets, a full size refrigerator and plenty of cabinets held all of the gathered essentials. With the included wireless internet service we could check our emails in between beach visits, relaxing, and dog walking. We were on our own for breakfast and lunch, but for dinner we took turns making our favorite savory dishes in the ample kitchen. Our days ended with dominoes, card games, or a 750 piece puzzle all while listening to music from the 60's and 70's. On one of our days we walked on the bay side of the island and found even more beautiful sea shells.
The Pineno Travel stay in the Four Dreamers rental at Topsail Beach was completely relaxing and enjoyable. Like most properties, the price is determined by the week chosen. Prime "in season" weeks cost more than "out of season" weeks. What a great getaway for beach lovers... "beach bum" anyone?
