Our family has been staying here for many years and we keep coming back because it is perfect for multiple generations. Two living rooms, well equipped kitchen, large enough dining table to seat everyone together, outdoor shower, and the list goes on. The owners are extremely pleasant and quickly respond to inquiries.
This was our second year staying here. The house is in an excellent position to a beach access. The house was clean and had everything we needed to have a nice and relaxing week.
All of us enjoyed our week at this great cottage. Clean and well stocked. Looking forward to coming back the next chance we get.

I'm so glad we were able to accommodate your request to extend your stay after you arrived - definitely a sign of having a good time! And we look forward to having you back. :D
Our family and friends have visited several times already and can't wait to get back. Big space, easy beach access, and everything you need for a large group.
This is our third stay at the seahorse corral, and it accommodates our family perfectly! We love the proximity to the beach, as well as the two places to gather for different age groups and the wonderful decks. Since we always cook, we love the pots and pans and plenty of dishes for all of us. We will be back! Thanks again
This is our 4th time staying at this house and it continues to be our favorite. Everything is perfect for multiple generations, people who like to cook, people who need solitary time, as well as opportunities for all 12 of us to be together for meals and other activities. Also, the owners are so pleasant and easy to work with.
Our family had a great stay at Seahorse Corral. The house was clean and comfortable and helped to provide us one of the best experiences we have had in Topsail. Close walk to the beach and great view from the upper level.
Great location, excellent accommodations for our large family group. We loved the multiple gathering areas so the card players, puzzlers, and gamers all had a space. Would definitely come again.
We absolutely loved this property. The space, decor & location were all perfect for our large family and made our yearly family week extra special. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Scott and Roxane!

So glad our place made your large family's get-together extra special. We look forward to having you back again!
This house was perfect for our family vacation of 8 adults and 6 kids between the ages of 1 and 10. House was very clean and had nice amenities and location is great for a nice quiet week on Topsail Island. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a fun week of relaxation.

Thanks Karina. We are so glad you had a wonderful time at the beach house and would be delighted to have you back
Our trip was great, if we needed anything communication was handled very quickly. We had access to everything we needed at the house & the house provided many items for us that other rentals have not. We throughly enjoyed our stay
This was our first family trip in 15 years. We had the best time. The hose was clean and it a great location. We had great communication with the host. We couldn’t have asked for better place to stay!!!
We have vacationed at south Topsail so many times, but this was the best! The home is well appointed with several gathering places, inside and out. Beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had lots of good quality cookware. Thanks for sharing your lovely beach home with us! We will be back!
This is by far one of the cleanest, nicest and best beach houses we have ever stayed at. It’s so close to the public access, it’s like having an oceanfront house. The views are spectacular from the top deck and the house is perfect for our family needs.
We have stayed here before and will definitely stay again. The house is perfect for large families because it has a large, well equipped kitchen, seating for 12 at the dining table, and two living spaces. It is a very short walk to the beach access, lovely and private outdoor shower under the deck, and two porches that face the beach.

So glad you and your family have enjoyed your stay at our beach house once again. The house is definitely designed for quality time with family and friends!
We had a wonderful time at the beach. The house is just as pictured in the listing. Great space for a big group. You can walk to the beach in minutes. We hope to come back!
Our family has been staying at this house now for a number of years and we will keep continuing to come back! We have a large family and there are plenty of beds to go around. There is also an upstairs flex space that is perfect for games after dinner. The hosts are always proactive to try to answer any questions before they come up. As anticipated, we had zero issues and check in/check out was a breeze. The views of the water from the top porch/deck are fabulous and the swinging chairs are a favorite hangout spot of mine :) highly recommend this property!!
This house perfectly met our needs and we would highly recommend it! With a load of kids, we appreciated the smart TV's, books and games, well stocked kitchenware, and the minute walk to the beach. (We also loved being at the south end of the island, as it's much quieter and less crowded.) We so enjoyed the double decks, the outside shower, and the family-oriented, peaceful feel of the property.

Thanks Kristianna. We've raised our kids on vacation time at the beach, seeing them grow from babies to adults, so we've designed our beach house for family atmosphere! Being located away near the end of the island is simply a wonderful bonus.
This is our second year renting the Seahorse Corral and we love it! The house is perfect for a large group with two levels for different activities and the ocean views are fantastic. The area is right where our family likes to be at Topsail Beach as we have other family members with homes on the south end of the Island and it makes it easy to get together. Thanks for being such fantastic hosts and we look forward to staying again next year!
This was our first time together as a whole family in years. It was so much fun, so relaxing, and we absolutely loved being steps away from the beach. We spent most of our time hunting shark teeth and enjoying the waves, but we also enjoyed getting together at the end of the night to play games in this wonderful home. I highly recommend!
If you like mellow and comfortable, this is your place.
This is one of my favorite houses in 50 years of beach stays.. Comfortable, well-appointed house in layout and furnishings. You’ll love the upper deck, especially in the evening. At quiet end of island. A 5-10 minute drive for some conveniences which leaves this house a peaceful retreat. Close to beach and ICW. Just don’t come on my week.

About the host
Hosted by Scott
We've owned this beach house since 2000 and have wonderful memories of spending quality time with our 3 children there throughout the years. We live in Raleigh, NC, and like to travel. Roxane is a yoga teacher and Scott is happily retired and enjoying golfing more than ever.
Why they chose this property
We love the area! This is one of the most sought after neighborhoods on the island - wide beaches and less crowded, yet just a few blocks from great restaurants, mini-put golf, roller skating rink, pickleball courts, ice cream stores, cafes and gift shops.
