About the host

Host profile image
Our love for Topsail Island began in 2005, and it quickly became our family’s go-to getaway. Whether it was summer vacations with our very full house of eight kids or quiet off-season retreats with just the two of us, Topsail always felt like home. Over the years, we’ve made countless memories on these shores — from early morning dolphin sightings to enjoying a nice evening out at one of the many fantastic local restaurants in Surf City. Now, we’re excited to share this special place with you.

Why they chose this property

Topsail Island has always been our happy place. It’s our favorite spot to slow down, reconnect, and make memories. So when we dreamed of owning a vacation property, it felt only right to put down roots here.

We pride ourselves on providing a welcoming, family-friendly experience tailored to guests of all ages. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel right at home.

The Seahorse is designed with you in mind. We’ve thoughtfully prepared each space with the comforts, amenities, and personal touches that make a beach vacation truly relaxing. Whether you’re traveling with kids, friends, or just looking for a peaceful retreat, our attention to detail ensures your stay at The Seahorse is one you’ll never forget.

What makes this property unique

The Seahorse was thoughtfully designed to help families make memories together. Start your mornings with coffee and breathtaking ocean sunrises from the private third-floor balcony, then spend the day on the beach or at the pool just steps away. Back inside, gather around the large dining table for family meals, board games, or puzzles, or prepare your favorite recipes in the well-equipped kitchen stocked for everything from pancakes to seafood dinners. Every sleeping space includes its own reading light, shelf, and charging outlet, and the loft's privacy curtains create comfortable spaces for both kids and adults. Younger guests especially love the cozy under-the-stairs reading and sleeping nook—a magical hideaway they'll be talking about long after vacation ends. With two full bathrooms and comfortable accommodations for up to eight guests, The Seahorse combines stunning ocean views with thoughtful details that help everyone relax, reconnect, and enjoy their time together.
