Things To Do 
Topsail Island is a hidden gem along the NC coast, known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and charming coastal towns like Surf City. From sunbathing and swimming to fishing and surfing, there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy on this beautiful island. Explore the local shops and restaurants, take a fishing cruise out with an area fishing guide, or simply relax on the beach and soak up the sun. With so much to see and do on Topsail Island, your vacation will be filled with unforgettable memories and moments of pure relaxation. Topsail Island is a 28-mile-long barrier island made up of marshes, estuaries, dunes, and shorelines. Sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intercoastal Waterway, “Tops’l” as the locals call it, is home to several fishing piers including the Seaview Fishing Pier. 875 feet of planks were used to construct this pier, which is the longest pier on the North Carolina coast. Privately owned shops, restaurants and attractions abound on Topsail, as well as the neighboring mainland towns. Learn the history of Topsail at the Missiles and More Museum and understand how to be a good steward of the sea at the Touch Tank Aquarium in Surf City and the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitation Center for laid back and family friendly things to do on Topsail. Each of these attractions offers its own unique charm and adds to the allure of a vacation on Topsail Island.

Great location, nice house, great stay but needs some fixes

Great location and very easy walk to one of two beach accesses. House is in good condition, decorated well and pretty clean. Enjoyed the little touches and was happy that most things were in great repair. Only issues we had where that the master toilet leaked and would refill every 10 minutes all day and all night. We had to shut off the water value and use another. Also the chandelier light over the kitchen table only had 1 working light out of 5. Upsides... working vent hood with light, new toaster oven, electric pressure cooker, lots of utensils and pots to cook a good meal. No under that house parking due to owner boat stored there but that wasn't a huge deal. Would stay here again happily :)

Better than advertised...keep it a secret!

We have been to many NC & SC beaches over the years and stayed at many properties. Turning the corner to this property, we immediately felt at home. This was the best stay we have ever had! Clean, delightful beach cottage style with plenty of outdoor living (3 areas -- all clean & usable!), much space for us inside, so clean that even the storage room downstairs was clean, swept & orderly with many beach items available for use! The kitchen was so well stocked with cute dishes and helpful utensils that it was a joy to cook in! And the best part... views of the sound and slight views of the ocean from every room. Because of the amount of windows, the whole place felt light and airy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Topsail Beach at Surf City is beautiful with blue-green water and rolling waves. The walk to the beach access and the beach itself is minimal. The neighborhood this house is located in is quaint and quiet but not far from anything. The only reason I want to keep this is a secret is so that it will be available next time we want to rent!!! Highly recommended!!

Nice getaway

We had a wonderful time at Katos Cove. The house is a nice size, close to the beach, and has a lovely sunset off the back porch. We were very pleased with our experience.

Perfect Family Vacation Home

Kato's Cove was absolutely fantastic. The house was more than enough room for our group of 6, perfectly located with a 2 minute walk to the beach, and just an overall great property. Everything was clean, cozy, and it felt like home. We would definitely come back again to stay at Kato's Cove.

Pink Paradise

This well-appointed home was a wonderful setting for a family vacation. The living area was even prettier in person and the rooms were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the outside porch and the beach was a short walk away. The house had a lot of extras in the kitchen and for the beach which helped make this an ideal vacation.

Beautiful, clean, short walk to the beach, ocean views from front porch, well-stocked.

Great 3B/3B house in Surf City with short walk to the beach. The house was clean, well stocked in the kitchen and in the storage room with beach gear. You can see the ocean from the front porch and the sound from the back screened in porch. Smart TV for rainy beach days (we logged into NETFLIX a few times). An outdoor shower to wash off after the beach. Stairs as soon as you open the front door so not suitable for anyone challenged with stairs. Basketball goal in driveway. Fishing poles in storage room. Located at mile marker 6 in Sandy Ridge neighborhood. We will definitely rent again!
