Your Ultimate Retreat – Steps from Beach with PVT Heated Pool, Slide & Hot Tub!

Top rated VRBO property!

Looking for the perfect location for your next beach vacation? Come to Seaquestered on Topsail Island! This beach retreat provides a superb location, ocean views, thoughtfully appointed rooms, updated technology, a well-stocked kitchen, cleanliness, and a backyard oasis with private pool and hot tub to enjoy after a day of sun on the beach. Seaquestered provides the ideal location and amenities for your next vacation.

Location:

This beautifully renovated home is a second-row home located on South Shore Drive (the beach road) in Surf City, about a mile south of the high-rise bridge and just across the street from the ocean. South Shore Drive, a preferred location on Topsail Island, provides easy access to groceries, restaurants, activities, and shopping found in the central business district, as well as easy access on and off the island via the high-rise bridge. As a secondary road, South Shore Drive maintains a 25-mph speed limit, allowing vacationers to enjoy walking, running, and biking just steps away from the beach. The home provides the best of both worlds on island with the proximity to the central business district while maintaining a secluded beach-feel with the private backyard amenities. When staying at Seaquestered, you will not have far to go to enjoy a day on the beach; the house is located just 300 feet from the beach access, with a beach cart provided. If you enjoy fishing or boating, you can bring your boat to the island. Seaquestered is located less than a 1 mile from the public boat ramp, and our driveway can easily accommodate up to a 30' boat/trailer. If you like to fish in the ocean, the boat ramp is roughly 8 miles via the ICWW from Topsail Inlet. One of Surf City's sound side parks is also just a short walk away with basketball courts, picnic area, playground and walk-out pier. After a day on the beach or on the sound, return to the backyard oasis to enjoy the private pool, hot tub, fire-pit, and Wilmington grill. Then head into Surf City to enjoy the quaint restaurant and shopping district - it's just a short bike ride or drive up South Shore Drive. Our home's location makes it easy to enjoy all Topsail Island has to offer for your vacation.

Great property & host!

Our family stay was great. The host remained in constant contact with us up until check in and was available if we needed anything (not that we would have). The entire property is super clean and they have considered any amenity you may want. Perfectly located in Surf City, short bike ride or walk to the pier and resultants, but far enough to enjoy the quiet “beach life”.

This property was absolutely fantastic! Thanksgiving couldn’t been better.

I highly recommend this property to families. Even though it cool in the evenings, the pool was heated enough to swim in and the hot tub was relaxing. We had lots of fun playing ping pong too. The kitchen is small but big enough for us to prepare our big thanksgiving dinner in.

Happy to be Seaquestered!!

We also got good use out of the first floor ping pong table and the hot tub. The house is a short (<5 min) walk from the beach and the owners provided a wagon (with large wheels to navigate the sand) to bring whatever you need to the beach. The owners also provide beach chairs and paddle boards, which my family was all to happy to make use of.
