"To me the sea is a continual miracle; The fishes that swim–the rocks–the motion of the waves–the ships, with men in them, What stranger miracles are there?" -Walt Whitman

Whitman has a way with words that translates into the everyday aspects of life. If you live life with the perspective that everything is a miracle, what a wonder-filled world it would be. Topsail Island has many of these same wonderful things, so feel free to come on over and experience them for yourself. 

“Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.” -Hermann Broch

It's true that beach life becomes a part of you and stays with you. It becomes intertwined with your thoughts, your actions, and your daily perspective. We wouldn't have it any other way! Have you ever considered if living on Topsail Island might be for you? 

"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." -Jacques Yves Cousteau

Who better knows the spell of the sea than Jacques Cousteau? He spent his life pursuing its wonders and sharing what he learned with us all. We think the oceanside is the ideal place to encourage curiosity and exploration. That's probably why kids are always easily entertained while at the beach.

"When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused." -Rainer Maria Rilke

This is why many find peace while at the beach. The ocean's expansive presence brings a sense of perspective along with all its power, wonder, and rhythms. Sometimes you just need to be near something bigger than yourself to adjust your mindset and mood. The ocean is here for you, always.

"Always be like water. Float in the times of pain or dance like waves along the wind which touches its surface." -Santosh Kalwar

Water teaches us many things and offers many life analogies for those who observe it and are mindful of it. Water is a life force that ebbs and flows. It knows when to be strong during storms and quietly inviting during times of peace. What lessons have you learned from the water? 

"The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul." -Robert Wyland

Isn't this why so many people long for a beach vacation? The draw of the ocean is strong and evokes many positive emotions to those who choose to be near it. We absolutely think that the best way to enjoy a beach vacation is when you choose an oceanfront Topsail beach rental that gives you a front and center view of all you came here for. 

"Every time I stand before a beautiful beach, its waves seem to whisper to me: If you choose the simple things and find joy in nature's simple treasures, life and living need not be so hard." - Psyche Roxas-Mendoza

There's a reason why they say "Life is better at the beach." That's because it's true. Life seems simpler, more laid back, and happier because it's easy to see all of that simple, small stuff right before you each and every day. From stunning sunrises and sunsets to seashells and sand bars, these little things make life brighter and more beautiful. The small quiet moments, the simple treasures, and the joys of beach life are all truly a gift.
