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.

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.

Second summer stay and we will be back!

This is the perfect family vacation home. Close to the beach, a great layout inside for gathering and dinner and we love spending time on the porch. I was visiting my sons who live in the area and I made dinner for everyone each evening in the well stocked kitchen. We made memories sitting around the large family sized table and then played games on the porch. The beds are comfortable and having linens provided is such a nice extra. Kim is so great to work with and very personable. Can’t wait to go back next summer!

Our home away from home…

We had another great stay at Seablings. After 4 stays it now feels like our home away from home. The house is furnished with everything you could need and the location can’t be beat. We loved the new wider stairs to the deck, and the kids liked the updates to the twin bedroom and the hall bath. We look forward to staying again next year!

Nice home with just a short walk to the beach.

We enjoyed our stay at Seablings over the holiday weekend. The house was clean with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog with us and the fenced area by the carport was nice. The location was good - not too far from town and close to two public beach access points. The owner was responsive and had the house decorated for the holidays. We had a wonderful, relaxing family vacation.

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!!

The Seablings house is a fantastic option in Surf City! It's a great space with everything you need..short drive to everything and super short walk to the beach.

Would Love To Go Back

Kim - We loved your home. Everything we needed was there. Every meal was cooked at the property because everything we needed was there. Very clean home. Very comfortable mattress. We loved the Christmas decor. A little gift was left for the "Siblings" "Seablings", so we hope you see it. It's hanging close to the front door. We highly recommend this property for a fun/family get away anytime during the year.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Draper/ Manager

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.
