Great Stay in Topsail – Perfect for a Relaxing Getaway!

We spent 10 days at this lovely beach rental in Topsail and had a fantastic time. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach each day, which made it easy to come and go without needing to pack up the car.The house itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The large covered deck was a great spot to relax in the mornings or unwind in the evenings. The master bedroom featured a comfortable king-sized bed, and the dining room table gave us plenty of space for meals and board games. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, and utensils, making it easy to cook our own meals, and the fridge looked brand new.We also appreciated the Roku TV, which allowed us to log into our favorite streaming apps during downtime. Kim, the host, was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.The only thing to note is that the home backs up to a fairly busy road, so there can be some traffic noise—especially if you’re a light sleeper. We used a white noise machine at night and had no issues after that.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway in Topsail!

Great Beach House

The house was clean and had everything we needed. The front porch was great for relaxing in between going to the beach. The walk from the house to the beach takes 5 minutes and the access point to the beach has no stairs which allowed us to wheel our kids right out to the beach. The house has beach towels, umbrellas, chairs, sand toys and more. The location is central to topsail and we found it easy to get to the different places we wanted to go. Kim was great at communicating and answered all our questions quickly.

We weathered hurricane Debbie 2024

Location is great to beach and to central surf city! The property manager Kim was excellent to deal w on every level, responsive and accommodating. Plenty of cookware, dishes/glasses Due to the storm (hurricane Debbie) coming through the week we stayed 8/3-8/10/24 we got 1 night walk on the beach, no other beach time due to rain, storm and tremendous high winds. We tried to make the best of of, but after a week of being cooped up together and nothing being open we got a little stir crazy. Some of the area attractions like Karen Beasley sea turtle ctr. and the Missile museum were closed because of the storm for few days. The beds were all super comfy but could use new bed pillows. A lot of the surfaces in the kitchen, light fixtures, floors and the HVAC return vent screen need a deep dusting and cleaning. Also kitchen cabinets and built in in dining room could use a serious wipe down, lots of dirty fingerprints. Some drywall repairs are needed as well in master bath and kitchen. It doesn’t seem like the cleaning people do much, master shower was dirty and sink as well. This morning when we were leaving we got blue skies and sunshine great beach weather, too late for us….i would stay here again because of location and great response from manager.

Second summer stay and we will be back!

This is the perfect family vacation home. Close to the beach, a great layout inside for gathering and dinner and we love spending time on the porch. I was visiting my sons who live in the area and I made dinner for everyone each evening in the well stocked kitchen. We made memories sitting around the large family sized table and then played games on the porch. The beds are comfortable and having linens provided is such a nice extra. Kim is so great to work with and very personable. Can’t wait to go back next summer!

Our home away from home…

We had another great stay at Seablings. After 4 stays it now feels like our home away from home. The house is furnished with everything you could need and the location can’t be beat. We loved the new wider stairs to the deck, and the kids liked the updates to the twin bedroom and the hall bath. We look forward to staying again next year!

Nice home with just a short walk to the beach.

We enjoyed our stay at Seablings over the holiday weekend. The house was clean with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog with us and the fenced area by the carport was nice. The location was good - not too far from town and close to two public beach access points. The owner was responsive and had the house decorated for the holidays. We had a wonderful, relaxing family vacation.

Everything in a vacation stay and more!

Seablings has been my favorite vacation stay out of dozens I have stayed at over the years. Location is perfect. Porch is fantastic. Unit is clean. Beds are super comfortable. One thing you don’t find many places is to have linens included which makes the weekly fee so affordable. Everything you need is there when you arrive. The dog run needs some minor repairs to be able to leave a dog alone inside. My kids and I will be back!!

Kim - We loved your home. Everything we needed was there. Every meal was cooked at the property because everything we needed was there. Very clean home. Very comfortable mattress. We loved the Christmas decor. A little gift was left for the "Siblings" "Seablings", so we hope you see it. It's hanging close to the front door. We highly recommend this property for a fun/family get away anytime during the year.
