Top Surf City Beach Hotel Reviews

Sea Vista Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Balcony and Beach View"

Serenity Oceanview + King Suite + Pool + 2 Beaches

8/10 Good

"Beautiful beach, pool, and sound. Quiet, clean, family and dog friendly neighborhood. The home was in a great location, and had alot of great beach gear already available. The owner was very easy to communicate with. My only complaint is that I think it could use an extra deep cleaning more often."

Oceanfront Paradise | Private Beach Access | Topsail Beach | Sleeps 10

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful stay overall and really enjoyed our vacation. The home was comfortable. We also wanted to mention that the dunes in front of the house made it difficult for elderly family members to navigate the walk to the beach; it was fine for younger guests, but our elderly parents had a hard time getting down to the beach. Thank you for sharing your property with us."

Amazing Single-Family Oceanfront Vacation Home

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying here. Very clean upon arrival and check-in was super smooth. Fantastic location and a view you cannot beat! An added bonus was getting to watch a sea turtle nest hatch our last evening there right next to the house!"

Professionally Decorated Ocean Front Oasis

8/10 Good

"Third Day was so spacious, clean, and comfortable. There were plenty of sleeping options for 7 kids and 5 adults. Both living rooms were cozy - great couches. The upper deck was amazing, especially the swing and outdoor sofa. We had a very rainy and windy week, so it was great to still get to be outside on the covered decks. Having the beach chairs and boogie boards were incredible because we didn't have to pack those in our already crowded cars. The location of this house was perfect and the beach was never crowded. It is a wonderful place for families who want to stay put all week and enjoy being on the beach and hanging out together in the house. The only downside is that we like to cook and grill and the grills are charcoal park grills - pretty small and difficult to manage in windy weather. Otherwise, the kitchen/pantry had all we needed."
