The Hi-Sea - Pet Friendly, Oceanfront Gem!
The Hi-Sea is an absolute gem on Topsail Island, with 5-foot high wainscoting and coastal blue walls throughout this nautically inspired oceanfront home with a very magical feel. The Hi-Sea has covered parking for 3-4 cars with more space in the driveway. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house sleeps up to 8.
Main Level: As you walk up to the main level of The Hi-Sea you can continue on the deck, and walk all the way around to the oceanfront side of the home, where you can enjoy views of the Atlantic and catch some ocean breezes before entering The Hi-Sea. The decks are fully gated front and back, creating a safe environment to relax with pets and young children. There are oversized garden-inspired stairs leading you down to the pristine white sand beach and the beautiful Atlantic Ocean below.
Living Area: Once inside you’ll be in the living area. To the left is the living room with a flat-screen TV and DVD player in the large entertainment center. The wireless router is also located in the entertainment center. Looking out to the crystal blue ocean, you'll notice plantation shutters are consistent throughout the home.
Dining Area: To the right of the front door you’ll find the oceanfront dining table. Two squared tables joined to make one large table that seats 6. Beside the dining table are sliding glass doors for easy access to the oceanfront deck. In the cooler months open the doors and have dinner while listening to the waves. The table is a showcase all in itself. Inside the covered tables are sand, shells, and seagrasses creating the majestic feeling of picnicking on the beach!
Kitchen: The kitchen has its own set of sliding glass doors, drop-in sink, removable faucet head, and tan granite countertops. The kitchen has seating for two at the counter. All white appliances accent the wainscoting in this area. Birch and Ash hardwood floors are throughout this elegantly painted and beautifully appointed home.
Walk through the living area and you'll find the first bedroom and a small hallway leading to the additional bedrooms and baths. Bedroom One: The first bedroom is located directly off of the living area. This room has a Queen bed and a light oak dresser. This bedroom has a private bathroom, flat screen TV, and ceiling fan. The bathroom has a black cabinet-based sink and a coordinating shower curtain.
Bedroom Two: The second bedroom has two double beds and is on the street side. This bedroom has the washer and dryer hidden in a bi-fold door closet, flat screen TV, ceiling fan, and the same Birch and Ash floors that are carried throughout the entire house. Bedroom Three: Bedroom three is located on the left/ocean side of The Hi-Sea and has a Queen bed. The Queen bed is next to a matching nightstand, flat-screen TV, and ceiling fan. Storage is not a problem in this room with the antique cream armoire.
Bedrooms two and three share a bath, located between the two rooms. This bathroom has a blue and green plaid shower curtain continuing the color scheme in the beach bedroom. Both bathrooms have brushed nickel finishes and a black cabinet-based sink.
Take advantage of the beauty surrounding your Topsail Island rental home. Topsail Island is a vacationer’s paradise. Enjoy fine or casual dining restaurants. Browse the many gift shops at your leisure. Rent a bicycle for a personal tour of the island. Be adventurous and go parasailing or rent a jet ski and take in the scenery from a pelican’s point of view. Visit a surf shop for all your surfing needs or go fishing on one of the three fishing piers the island has to offer. Try a round of golf at the area's world-class golf course just down the road. It’s all within your reach.

Great location!
Hi-Seas is a wonderful property for a small party located right on the water. The front deck is the best and we spent most of our time outside. The bedrooms are comfortable too although none have ocean views. One concern was the cleanliness of the house, as there was a lot of dog hair on the floors and rugs that I cleaned on arrival. The house also smelled like “dogs” when we arrived and I purchased air fresheners to help with the odor.

Super View and Location
We enjoyed the location as the cottage is literally right on the beach so all you see off your deck is ocean and beach. Nice family room and eating area. Bedrooms were a little tight and baths could use some updating but the view overcame any negatives.

Best oceanfront vacay EVER!!
Our family travels and vacations. ALOT. We always go for a beachfront property. This place was the closest to the ocean, without being in the actual ocean, of any we've stayed at!
It's a perfect blend of private beach area (for sunrise, sunset, moonlit walks and shelling). Locals are friendly and there's plenty to do for a week Spring break with activities, shopping, local fresh seafood markets and restaurants. Also, it's a pet-friendly area.
Everything about the house itself is solid (construction and furnishings) and the views and sounds of the ocean are WOW. JUST. WOW. AMAZING!! It's a cozy well-stocked layout with enough room to gather but spread out still. We will be back!

A perfect stay
First, the location is fabulous. It is literally steps from the water. The sound of the ocean fills the house with sounds of vacation. Every window has shutters that open, and two sliding glass doors, one in kitchen and other by dining table that open to the deck facing the ocean. The water pressure is wonderful for showers. Covered parking for two under the house and room enough for 2-4 extra parking in the driveway. Mounted roku TV in every room with every available app to watch your favorite movies and shows. We were there during the cold season and the heat for the house is in good condition for coffee on the deck in the mornings. The house decor was nicely themed for the perfect beach vaca no matter the season. Enjoy your stay, we certainly did.

Perfect location, reasonable accommodations
We selected this property due to being dog friendly and beachfront with a reasonable rate. Cleaning service could definitely stand some improvement, particularly given dog guests, and more than just superficial cleaning. There were other minor issues (dining chair broken, exhaust fan in bath not working, dust bunnies under the beds, lots of sand sitting under area rugs, knives need sharpened) but nothing too serious to not give an average review.
