I have a couple of life long friends and we try to take a trip together every year or so. Seablings has become a favorite place to stay. Even in October the weather is beautiful. The house is nice and comfortable inside and the outside areas are great also. This is a wonderful place to stay!

Great location, nice beach house.

Nice house, comfortable, could use a deep cleaning, advertised dog run was not really usable due perhaps due to prior renters not cleaning up after their dogs. Overall a good experience and value for the family.

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.

Seablings was perfect!

We had an amazing stay at Seablings over a long weekend for my sister’s wedding. The house is convenient, comfortable, and charming with a well-appointed kitchen. There is plenty of space for family and friends to enjoy one another’s company. The deck has ample furniture where everyone can sit, relax and take in the magnificent Atlantic Ocean. My son has already asked if we could stay there again for a little longer stretch of time! Thanks so much for the use of your beautiful beach house.

Wonderful time at Seablings!

The online photos are an accurate representation of the property. The house was very nice, updated and clean. The ocean is visible from the upper deck. The upper deck has a very nice seating area that is ideal for either coffee in the morning or wine in the evening. Very cheerful. The owner responded quickly to all inquiries. I enjoyed my stay and would stay at Seablings again.

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!!

Great layout and well stocked

This was a great experience overall. The layout of the beach house worked great for us (no going up and down stairs to bedrooms). Everything was one floor. The kitchen was well stocked. Felt more like staying at a friends home and not a rental. Great communications with Kim. Was able to reach out at any time and received quick responses. Loved the location. Easy access to beach, stores and restaurants. Definitely on our list to return in the future! Our friends that came for a couple of nights also enjoyed it.

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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Kim Draper/ Manager

Host profile image
In April 2015 the decision was made to jump in and make owning a home on Topsail Island a reality. For our childhood this was our family vacation, our only family vacation, every year. We all have such vivid memories of our summers here. During those years, our dad dreamed of owning a vacation home on Topsail. That dream was not fulfilled during his lifetime.

As adults, we have all lived in different places thoughout the country and have vacationed all around the world. Years ago, we began coming back to Surf City for family vacations. Just a couple of us at first with our kids, a couple of times a year. But once we all were back here together, it just seemed right and we felt we could make a dream a reality...our dad's dream.

We "found our way back"

Why they chose this property

This house is just the right size. It has so many extras loaded into a modest space. In the 60's and 70's we stayed in a small (and I do mean small) cottage that was less than a block away from the Surf City pier and sat on a dune. No pilings, just cinder-block and sand. That house was the right house then, and this is the right house now.
