3 Simple Steps to the Ultimate Romantic Getaway



Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, a special occasion like an anniversary or birthday, or just any day where you want a couple’s getaway to the beach, Topsail Island, North Carolina offers everything you need for the ultimate romantic getaway.

We’re giving you the three simple steps to take to make it happen this year. It doesn’t have to be complicated! It is a beautifully romantic gesture to invest in some special time away with the one you love the most. Pair that with sand-swept shorelines, the serenade of the Atlantic Ocean, and breathtaking coastal sunrises and sunsets—and you’ll find this is the perfect setting for love and romance.

Give the gift of a romantic Topsail Island beach escape and start counting down the days until it’s just the two of you making memories that will last a lifetime.

1. Find the right Topsail Island rental.

It all begins here. Setting aside a block of time that works for you and your partner is key. From there you can begin your search for the perfect place to stay. Discuss between the two of you where you want to be and what vacation rental amenities matter most to you during your stay.

We highly recommend choosing an oceanfront or oceanside Topsail Island rental for the ultimate views and best access to the beach. It doesn’t get any better than waking up each and every morning to the beauty of the beach right before your eyes.

Imagine starting your mornings slowly, just the two of you, sipping coffee while watching the morning sunrise and the crashing of the ocean waves. Inhale the salty ocean air and exhale relaxation all from the comfort and privacy of your oceanfront deck. End your days the same way by watching the coastal sunset and finding inspiration from the beauty all around you. This is your time together—drink it all in. Sounds amazing, right? It’s the best and you deserve it!

2. Plan your time as a couple.

How do you want to spend this time away together? Do you want it totally low key or filled with big adventures? Perhaps a little bit of both?

Take the time to do a little advance research and explore your options. Talk about how you want to spend your time together. Make a list or pencil them in to your vacation days, but be sure that you don’t over-plan your time. You want to allow for spontaneous moments to happen, down time together, and the flexibility to change your plans if need be.

Remember, the main focus here is your relationship and celebrating it together. Plan things that center around you and your partner—the other things can wait.
