I read the reviews here before I made my reservation, and they were about equally split between "great" and "oh, I won't stay there again". As another reviewer stated, it is not a Hilton. I don't expect a five star hotel when I'm paying a much smaller amount for lodging and people who do expect such are apt to be... more

My husband and I have stayed at this motel for several years, especially in the Fall to do some fishing. We have always found the staff very courteous and helpful. This motel is not a Hilton if that is what you expect. It is a quiet, peaceful setting and just what one needs for a relaxing time away from the... more

I was looking for a small motel where there would be a quiet, uncrowded beach, and I found that here and was very pleased with my room and how close it was to the oceanfront, but the lady who checked me in when I arrived was so rude and unwelcoming that it almost completely ruined my stay. I only had... more

OK, folks, so I just got back, I read all the reviews here (and some are enough to scare off even the strongest of travelers) and let me give you the scoop on our experience.... First, these motel units are indeed individually owned. Sadly, you don't know who owns them, or their status! If you scroll down the reviews here... more

I made reservations because my friends said they loved Sea Vista hotel when they stayed there. My room was old and had a disgusting stain on the box spring which made me so uncomfortable about the rest of the room even though it was clean. My friend's room was cute and renovated and newly decorated with new carpet squares and... more

Best part of the Island, terrible Customer Service! The beach on this part of the island is gorgeous and gets even better the further south you go. The accomodations were nice and clean, but the Front Desk customer service was horrible. We won't come again, be sure you read that any guests you have that aren't staying with you will... more

I only tried to make a reservation - never got any farther. Had I checked here first I would have saved myself days of frustration. They didn't answer their email. Their phone was busy for 2 days. When I spoke to the lady on the phone she was rude and literally hung up on me for no reason. She wouldnt... more

This has been noted as our last resort stay when all others are booked; however, it has reached an all time low. Management hung up on me when I explained I had a guide dog. Evidently she is not up on anti-discrimination practice. She was rude and completely disrespectful. I will not be staying there again. more

Topsail Beach is a wonderful beach. Very secluded and quiet. There is only one hotel in Topsail Beach so if you aren't renting a house, this is your ONLY choice. There are other hotels in Surf City and North Topsail. Of course you'll end up dealing with more people as well. The hotel is clean but run down. It looks... more

Management response from
bollie2, Association Ownership

Indeed, these are individually owned units managed by hired management through the Association. The South Apartment (2 bdrms), provides great privacy and has a beautiful full ocean view, as well as a wonderful large private deck on the front. The guest who wrote the comment was informed they were not able to view this personally, due to the apartment being...

My wife and I stayed in Rm 307 for a week in October 2007. It was a large bright room with a balcony over the beach, and a kitchen on the back wall. We were with another couple in Rm 306 with a dog, and we kept the door open between the two rooms most of the time. The rooms... more
