Our family has been staying at this house now for a number of years and we will keep continuing to come back! We have a large family and there are plenty of beds to go around. There is also an upstairs flex space that is perfect for games after dinner. The hosts are always proactive to try to answer any questions before they come up. As anticipated, we had zero issues and check in/check out was a breeze. The views of the water from the top porch/deck are fabulous and the swinging chairs are a favorite hangout spot of mine :) highly recommend this property!!

We were very disappointed that the pool area looks NOTHING like the pics online. The trees and bushes are fully grown and encroach on the already minimal pool deck area. In addition, a large grill takes up half of one of the usable sides. It’s difficult to have more than a handful of people playing in the pool or hanging out. The mosquitos are horrible by the pool probably because of the overgrown plants and debris in the growing areas. Lastly, one of the trees was constantly dropping its pollen pods in the water. We had to skim it every time we even used the pool….which wasn’t often. Wear and tear on the house is evident and maintenance/safety issues need to be addressed. Most of the exterior doors do not close properly and pop open on their own unless dead bolted. There were smaller issues as well. We did not reach out to Leslie about the problems. We were trying not to dwell on the negatives and make the most of our vacation, relax and spend time with family. The view of the marsh was pretty but not being able to use the pool area like we normally would have certainly makes the property not worth the cost. Had we seen the current state of the pool area prior to booking we would not have chosen this property. The other small things were: no extra blankets, no kitchen towels, no mixing bowls, not enough utensils or bowls, missing or broken lamps, broken/non-functioning sink handles. All could have been addressed in real time but we made do with what was available.

Best Place Ever!

We have stayed here before and will definitely stay again. The house is perfect for large families because it has a large, well equipped kitchen, seating for 12 at the dining table, and two living spaces. It is a very short walk to the beach access, lovely and private outdoor shower under the deck, and two porches that face the beach.

Family Vacation

This house perfectly met our needs and we would highly recommend it! With a load of kids, we appreciated the smart TV's, books and games, well stocked kitchenware, and the minute walk to the beach. (We also loved being at the south end of the island, as it's much quieter and less crowded.) We so enjoyed the double decks, the outside shower, and the family-oriented, peaceful feel of the property.

We didn't want to leave!

This was our first time together as a whole family in years. It was so much fun, so relaxing, and we absolutely loved being steps away from the beach. We spent most of our time hunting shark teeth and enjoying the waves, but we also enjoyed getting together at the end of the night to play games in this wonderful home. I highly recommend!

If you like mellow and comfortable, this is your place.

This is one of my favorite houses in 50 years of beach stays.. Comfortable, well-appointed house in layout and furnishings. You’ll love the upper deck, especially in the evening. At quiet end of island. A 5-10 minute drive for some conveniences which leaves this house a peaceful retreat. Close to beach and ICW. Just don’t come on my week.

Another amazing week at Seahorse Corral

This is our 3rd year staying at the Seahorse Corral and we love the house and the location. Great ocean views and the space is plentiful. The kitchen is large and fully stocked to handle cooking for a large amount of people. Making it even better is the fact that Scott and Roxane are fantastic hosts. There was an issue with a broken box spring that we were alerted to by the hosts and a new one was delivered and the old taken away. No inconvenience at all. We look forward to staying again next year and highly recommend this property to anyone thinking of renting - just not on the week that we want it!!

Short Walk To Beach

We had a great stay! The house was beautiful with great views from the upper deck. The public beach access was a very short walk, and it was not far from a few shops and restaurants, as well as a playground. I loved the artwork on the walls. The only thing that would make me rethink staying again when my kids are still small is that there are a lot of fragile sea shells that are on display and difficult to keep my kids from wanting to touch. Also, one thing that wasn't completely ideal for our group is that the TV and family room is on the top floor - not the same floor as the kitchen.

Perfect Recharge

This property was as advertised. We love the quiet end of the island, as we have vacationed on Topsail for many years. The location of this house was perfect, beach access right across the street, spacious kitchen, and plenty of room for all of us. We were two families, 5 adults, a teenager, and a 9 year old. The property was clean and easy to find. Roxane and Scott were great hosts and answered our questions promptly. Being on this end of the island you are farther from restaurants, grocery shopping, etc, but you are also farther from the crowds on the beach, which we preferred. We would absolutely rent this place again. We already looked for the summer but unfortunately, no dates available that match for us. :-( We will definitely keep Sea Horse Corral on our list for vacation rental at Topsail. Thank you so much!

Perfect in every way

This is the third time we’ve stayed here, and every time was perfect in every way. There were three families - 3 first cousins with their spouses and children - a total of 12 people. With 5 bedrooms, 1 with bunk beds for kids, everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. With 2 living spaces, one on each floor, multiple activities took place simultaneously. The kitchen is large and exceptionally well equipped. With a table that seats 8 and 4 seats at the counter, everyone could sit together for meals. It is located only 2 houses away from a handicapped accessible access to the beach. Being at the quiet end of the beach, we had very few people sharing the beach with us. It is a very wide beach, especially at low tide. The owners have always been excellent to work with, responding quickly to questions and making sure everything is in working order. We will definitely be renting from them again,

Awesome beach getaway

This beach house was perfect for our family reunion of 10 people. We had more than enough space for 6 adults and 4 kids. The kitchen was well stocked (only missed a tea kettle and a few more dish towels) and the dining table fit us all. I loved the upstairs deck with the swing chairs and the proximity to the beach. We could send the kids back and forth from the beach to the house without having to escort them. I was apprehensive about the number of showers, but it was never a problem. Location was amazing, so close to the beach and an easy walk to town where there's shopping, restaurants and ice cream, live music, throwback roller skating and an awesome seafood to shack. You have to pay to park in Surf City so we didn't go much. Also be warned that restaurants have long waits in summer. Kayaking and the turtle center were highlights. Totally would recommend this house and Topsail Beach to anyone looking for a family vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Scott

We've owned this beach house since 2000 and have wonderful memories of spending quality time with our 3 children there throughout the years. We live in Raleigh, NC, and like to travel. Roxane is a yoga teacher and Scott is happily retired and enjoying golfing more than ever.

Why they chose this property

We love the area! This is one of the most sought after neighborhoods on the island - wide beaches and less crowded, yet just a few blocks from great restaurants, mini-put golf, roller skating rink, pickleball courts, ice cream stores, cafes and gift shops.
