Relax, Unwind, Make Memories and Enjoy the Amazing Ocean View plus Pool!
About this condo rental
Located in Surf City, this attractive condo for £252 per night is a great option for your next trip. Welcome to the Seahorse; our recently renovated, family friendly, ocean-side beach escape in Surf City on Topsail Island, NC! Come stay with us and enjoy the relaxing beach life while vacationing or working remotely. Free wifi! The VIEW! You’ll love the amazing view from the third story ocean front balcony overlooking both the beach and the ocean. The comfy deck chairs sit up high, commanding an unobstructed view of the ocean over the deck rails. It’s the perfect place to sip your early morning coffee while enjoying the spectacular sunrise or wind down in the evening with a glass of wine after a perfect day on the beach. Beach Time A short walk down the three flights of stairs and around the corner will take you to one of two private boardwalks leading over the dune and onto the beach. Enjoy building sand castles, digging for mole crabs or collecting shells with an assortment of beach toys in our storage closet. A mesh carrying bag makes carrying and cleaning the toys a breeze. Relax and enjoy the surf in one of our beach chairs also provided for your enjoyment. Or enjoy a leisurely walk down to the iconic Surf City Pier and count sea turtle nests along the way. Pool When you’ve had enough of the sand, shower off in one of two outdoor showers and head over to the zero- entry pool (no steps, very gradual decline). Many lounge and beach chairs plus four cabanas offer ample seating as well as shade opportunities for your comfort. The pool is open to guests from April 1 (or whenever it passes inspection) through October 31. Family Time We’ve designed the Seahorse with family time in mind. When not relishing the amazing view from the deck, gather the family around the picnic-styled kitchen table for family game time and enjoy a variety of games for all ages. Bench seating accompanies four chairs so all can eat and play together. Set up a puzzle on the coffee table for everyone’s amusement throughout your relaxing stay. And snuggle up at night on the comfy leather couches while enjoying a favorite movie from your personal accounts on the 55 inch ROKU TV. Kitchen The recently renovated kitchen has been completely made over with new cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to enjoy home cooked meals together, from an electric griddle for pancakes and bacon in the morning to ceramic cookware in every size for any dinner plans desired. Three bar stools at the counter allow for conversation and companionship while in the kitchen. And the clear view of the ocean and beach are a delight to the eyes with every look out the sliding glass door. Upgraded LVP flooring is throughout all 1,000 feet of the condo. 2 Full Baths When it’s time to clean up after a day of fun in the sun the Seahorse offers two fully renovated bathrooms to shower and bathe. The master bathroom has its own shower, vanity and toilet, while the hallway bathroom has a tub/shower, vanity and toilet. Hooks offer a convenient place to hang your swim suits. Beach towels can hang from either the hooks in the shower or from the clothes lines on the deck. Several towel racks offer a spot for everyone’s bath towel.

Beds When it’s finally time to say good night everyone will enjoy sweet dreams on comfy memory foam mattresses and luxury hotel pillows. The master bedroom, with its king sized bed and comforter plus 43 inch ROKU TV, is the perfect little romantic retreat each night for mom and dad. The loft offers a choice of a queen bed and bunk beds, all of which have luxury hotel pillows, comforters and memory foam mattresses.

Outstanding experience in every way, loved the 3rd floor balcony overlooking the beach. Excellent communication with Heather who provided all the details we needed with great timing.

Our family enjoyed our stay at the Seahorse! We were looking for a spot that was close to the beach and had a stylish & updated interior. The Seahorse had both! Not to mention access to the pool, which was great for the kids. Heather was great to communicate with and made sure we were taken care of.

We had an amazing time staying at the Seahorse! The unit was beautiful, clean and the ideal space for our family. And you cannot beat the location - right on the beach and next to the pool. Heather is a super thoughtful and responsive communicator - even offering recommendations on where to get a cake for our son's birthday while there. :) The attention to detail - both in the unit and via the listing and communications - sets this apart from so many other rentals we've considered. Highly recommend the Seahorse and hope to be back again!!

We really loved this condo! Great views from the family room and kitchen. Very clean and well appointed. Loved the decor and the space this condo offered. The upstairs loft was super cute with plenty of sleeping space for a couple and 2 kids or have All the kids upstairs (queen and a bunk bed set) Owner has thought of anything you may need and has made it easy to address any questions you may have. Will definitely stay here again! The laundry is in a separate building but easy to use and the facilities are super clean as well. Download the laundry app and get a $5 credit too! Enjoy shelling, collecting sharks teeth or sun bathing or swimming in the pool. Lots to do for which ever you prefer. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This was our second time staying at the Seahorse and we loved it just as much as the first time. The owner, Heather communicates very well and is always available to answer questions or give recommendations. The property is well equipped, especially the kitchen. They have anything we have ever needed for whatever cooking we do. We are already planning our next visit.

Heather was a great hostess. I appreciated the communication before and throughout our stay. The property was lovely and loved the easy access to the beach. The condo was spacious and allowed for personal space for our entire family. My only concern was that we had to provide a lot of things ourselves such as towels, linens, etc. which made packing more of a chore. Overall a lovely stay and experience.

I have rented a number of units in this property and this, by far, exceeds all the other properties. It is an updated, clean, and well-designed property. I found the kitchen well-stocked, the amenities are superior, and the location is hard to beat. The owner communicated clearly and frequently ensuring we had an excellent stay. They have maximize the space to allow for a more comfortable stay for more people. The owners have taken great care to furnish the unit with higher end furniture including the beds. I highly recommend this location as it is one of the better properties I have stayed in at this location.

Heather is very detailed with her listing, the condo is beautiful and has all the extras you need for a great vacation! The views are breathtaking! We had helpful communication during the weather change with Tropical Storm Warning from Hurricane Ian. We appreciated the care she gave to keep us updated throughout the storm. We hope to visit again in the future!

Heather was an awesome host! So thoughtful and communicative. The property was just as pictured - beautifully decorated and very clean. The ocean views are excellent and the property overall is so conveniently located. The beach and the pool are both right there and it was a wonderful stay overall. We have stayed at surf condos a couple times in the past, but this has been the best stay so far.

Our family of four had the most wonderful vacation at the Seahorse. We have stayed at the Surf Condos for nearly a decade, this was our first time at the Seahorse and it was by far the BEST!!! Everything from cleanliness, to a well stocked kitchen to comfy beds and everything in between was just perfect. The attention to detail was outstanding, having extra hooks for wet bathing suits and a rope on the deck made such a difference!
The communication from Heather was such a comfort, too. Travelling from Massachusetts with children leaves me with lots of questions, and Heather quickly and patiently answered them all.
We would 10/10 recommend the Seahorse!!!

We had the most relaxing family vacation. The everything you ever would need has been thought of especially for a family with little ones, darkening blinds and curtains, fans, beach toys, aloe plant for sunburns, and best of all a stocked kitchen for cooking. All that with an amazing view, comfortable beds…. Can’t say enough. Thanks for the fantastic week!

This property is accurately portrayed in in the photos. It was perfect for our week long stay for my son’s wedding. Heather was responsive, check-in was flawless, and instructions were well laid out. Beds and pillows were comfy. The kitchen was a great alternative to eating out. Beach access is very close to the unit and the pool was also a wonderful place to relax. My favorite part of the place was sitting on the deck in the morning with coffee and watching the sun rise or in the evening relaxing with a glass of wine. We had a wonderful time with our kids and grandbaby and will cherish those memories for a long time!

My husband and I stayed at the condo for a week and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. This is a wonderful, spacious property with amazing ocean views!! Perfect location for enjoying the beach. Coffee on the deck every morning was super relaxing. It has comfortable beds, kitchen is equipped with anything you could possibly need and the condo is in excellent condition. The hosts even provide beach chairs, boogie boards, and fun sand toys if you have children. The condo is spotlessly clean, newly renovated, and beautifully decorated. The host was easy to communicate with and was very responsive to our many questions. Thank you Heather! We will absolutely stay at The Seahorse condo again and highly recommend staying here. You will not be disappointed.
