Quiet and Lowkey Beach Getaway

Check-in was a bit confusing as we did not receive gate code ahead of time and it was an unexpected hurdle. Room was spacious and clean, no complaints and view cannot be beat. Porch/decks are huge, rooms are quiet, as were guests (and dogs). Beds were moderate, only complaint would be one was very noisy when turning over or getting up, and the pillows were pretty flat and only 4 total. Nothng would prevent us from staying here in the future. Fair Warning: Bring your own food supplies as options are beyond slim and delivery 60-75 minutes minimum.

Room was comfortable and clean but it is an older building with older furniture. Still worked out great for us
Irma, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in the HMS which is the penthouse room. The best part was that we had privacy on our balcony as we drank coffee, listened to the waves and watched the dolphins each morning. The beach is not crowded and you can walk around the end of the island to the sound side as well. The room was clean and had a kitchen with everything you need. The bed was comfy. The people were so nice. I dropped a few things on my way out. They called me and mailed them back right away.

Another amazing stay!

This was our second time staying at the Sea Vista motel and it once again did not disappoint! The room was clean, the staff was friendly, the beach was amazing. We love it there so much and so do our dogs. Such a truly amazing and peaceful place.

Outstanding stay at this establishment! If you’re looking for Marriot or Hilton this place isn’t for you. Simple, old school accommodations, but very clean and welcoming and best of all right on the beach with everything you need. Will definitely return!!

Loved it

The hotel was amazing. Good location with less crowd beach. Only complaint is that the beds were noisy.
Rebecca, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were in Topsail recently scouting out spots for a future vacation and found this hidden gem there. Sea Vista is the perfect spot for a beach vacation. Very relaxed, great ocean views for the sunrise. The beach was very clean and quiet, just steps from the hotel. The motel itself was rustic and a great sandy beach vibe. They have outdoor showers as well! A quick ride to Surf City to stock up on supplies. We met some very friendly neighbours and the staff was very welcoming. This is a place we will come back to next time we are in NC. If you like the beach, you will love this area.

This is such a great little place! You can’t get closer to the beach than this- it’s extremely dog-friendly (we were able to bring our own dog, plus get to enjoy lots of others also!)- the room is the perfect size to be comfortable, and has all you would need! •A private beach access is provided (be mindful that there are stairs to access the beach) •The room was clean and had all basics provided (we brought a small electric griddle to cook, but there is a hot plate provided, as well as cookware) •The view from the balcony is AMAZING! •The staff are all very personable and friendly- they make you feel comfy as soon as you get there We definitely recommend a stay here!
