Ward Realty

About Ward Realty

Ward Realty is a vacation rental and real estate company on South Topsail Drive in Surf City, one of the longest-operating agencies in the Topsail Island rental market. With a 4-star Google rating from 209 reviews, Ward Realty has served a substantial and sustained volume of guests and property clients over many years, accumulating the kind of institutional knowledge about the island's properties, neighborhoods, and seasonal patterns that only comes from operating in the same market across many seasons. The company runs seven days a week — an extended schedule that gives guests access to the office on weekends and peak-season arrival days when other agencies may be running on reduced hours. Ward Realty works with both renters looking for a beach property to book and owners with island homes they want managed, maintained, or listed for sale. The combined rental and real estate practice means the staff engages with the same properties from multiple angles over the years. South Topsail Drive runs along the southern end of Surf City's commercial strip, near the main Surf City bridge and convenient for guests arriving by car from the Wilmington-area mainland. Surf City is the commercial heart of Topsail Island, anchored by the Ocean Pier and the family beaches that have made this undeveloped barrier island a repeat destination for North Carolina families for generations.
