Easter 2027 at Topsail Island: A Beach House for 22

Easter 2027 is Sunday, March 28, and a Friday-to-Monday stay at a Topsail Island beach house is one of the easiest ways to get the whole family around one table. At Topsail Paradise in North Topsail Beach, up to 22 guests can stay together, the minimum stay in March is 3 nights, and the private pool has free, self-serve heat through May 15.

I'm Dipen, and I host Topsail Paradise. Holidays are when I hear the best stories from guests: grandparents watching cousins in the pool, a big Sunday dinner, a walk on a quiet spring beach. Here is how I'd plan an Easter weekend here.

Why spend Easter at the beach?

Because spring on Topsail Island is calm and the beach is nearly yours. Late March averages highs around 62 degrees and lows around 48, according to Climate-Data.org. The ocean is still cool, about 58 degrees on average, so the heated pool and the hot tubs do the heavy lifting for swimming.

For a lot of families, Easter is also the first chance of the year to get everyone together, and a single big house means nobody is commuting between hotel rooms. For more on spring weather, see Topsail Island weather by month.

Where does everyone sleep?

Topsail Paradise sleeps 22 in 8 bedrooms with 6.5 baths, counting real beds only:

• Two master suites, each with a king, a private bath and an adjoining kids loft with 3 twin beds. Families with little ones love these.
• Two queen rooms with private baths, a natural fit for grandparents. An outside elevator runs from the ground floor to the first and second floors.
• A bunk room, a double room and two more queens that share two full baths in pairs, which teens and college kids usually claim.

See every bed on the layout page, or read our large-group guide for sample room plans.

How do we host Easter dinner for a big family?

The main floor is built for it. There's a full kitchen, a coffee and wine bar nook for the early risers, and a big open family room. The dining table and counter together seat about 10 to 12, so most big families serve buffet style and spread out across the main floor. Two charcoal grills handle a second main dish, and a ground-floor freezer holds the extras.

For groceries, the Food Lion in Sneads Ferry is about 13 minutes from the house. For local seafood, Mitchell Seafood in Sneads Ferry sells local shrimp; call ahead for holiday hours. One kitchen tip from experience: assign one household per meal and the weekend runs itself.

What Easter events happen around Topsail Island?

Local Easter events have been held each spring, but 2027 dates aren't posted yet, so treat these as "typically" and check the official calendars closer to the date:

• Egg hunts. In 2026 the Town of Surf City held an Easter egg hunt at the Earl G. and Inez Batts Recreation Complex on a Saturday morning in late March. Check the Town of Surf City calendar for 2027.
• Sunrise service on the beach. In 2026 Emma Anderson Memorial Chapel in Topsail Beach hosted an Easter sunrise service on the beach, plus an egg hunt and Easter worship, listed on the Greater Topsail Area Chamber calendar.
• Easter brunch out. In 2026 Splash by the Sea in North Topsail Beach advertised an Easter brunch on the same Chamber calendar. If you'd rather not cook Sunday, call well ahead with your headcount.

What else can we do over Easter weekend?

• Hide eggs at the house. With three living floors, there are plenty of hiding spots indoors.
• Walk to the beach. It's about two blocks from the house, and the quiet north end is lovely in spring.
• Visit the sea turtle hospital. The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Surf City offers guided tours by reservation only. See its visit page for dates.
• Fish or paddle. Spring fishing starts to wake up in late March and April. Our fishing guide has the details.
