Sea Vista Motel

Great place! Beachfront, very reasonable price, good communication about reservation and checking process, friendly staff, perfect!

The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. The view was amazing! We had an amazing oceanfront room. Staff met us when we checked in and brought our keys to us. It was a wonderful stay!

This is a great, low key hotel, close to the inlet on Topsail, so quick to get down to the undeveloped area, that also has tidal pools, etc. Also very close to the sound side parking. We stayed in the North apartment. I mistakenly thought it was oceanside, but it was "ocean view" from the deck. That was my mistake! But the deck was great for hanging wet clothes, and has a picnic table for meals. Kitchen was equipped with the basics, and everything was clean. There was a broom for sweeping out sand! We enjoyed having our own rooms and a separate living area. Next time we will get a true ocean view room, but this was great also!

Bed was very uncomfortable air-conditioning didn't work very good. Loud neighbors kids running around above us till late them early in the morning to. I'll just pay more cash next time and get a better hotel. Only thing I liked was balcony and view of ocean.

This was our first time visiting the Sea Vista motel, but it won’t be our last. I’ve stayed in some motels that have been a little worse for the wear, but Sea Vista was extremely clean and well kept with excellent service. All of the rooms are ocean-facing with balconies, which was so amazing for listening to the ocean at night. You’re also just steps from the beach. We’re from Florida and you could not get this quality of oceanfront room for this price. The room itself was spacious. It even had a close to full sized fridge. The grounds were so clean and it was extremely pet friendly. You can tell they really care for the environment, which is huge for us. Close to several restaurants and shops and a short drive to breweries and Surf City.

Loved seeing the ocean every morning, nice chairs on patio, convenient walk to beach, management prompt to fix sink. Pet friendly place, just hard on knees being on 3rd floor. Room was clean, bathroom needs some work done it was still functional. Will probably go back.

We arrived Wed.4/17 24. Room was clean, good ocean view. Room was a little dated, but fine for us. We enjoyed everything. Had a great time.

This is a wonderful place on the beach. The apartment was comfortable and nicely furnished with unique art decor. My wife had one issue - major to her but not me - which they promptly and gracefully resolved. I’ll be back (but my picky wife probably won’t).

The place is 100% adequate. If you are looking for hilton-like accommodations, go somewhere else. If you want a clean, comfortable, efficient, beachfront room away from the crowds, this is the place for you. We went off season, and there were not many occupied rooms so I cannot say if neighbor noise is a problem. Our requirements for a perfect stay are simple; a short walk to the beach, a comfortable bed, and a clean room. This place delivers all that. We will most definately go back for another visit. Things that may bother some people, but are easily prepared for in advance, and are just part of the experience are: The drive from the bridge to the hotel is all 35/25 mph, pretty long (over 7 miles, I believe), and is enforced. Just remember that you are on beach time. The decor is utilitarian, meaning easy to clean and maintain. There are stairs to all rooms, there is no 1st floor. Eating places and grocery stores are sparse on the island, but more available on the other side of the bridge. Not a criticism at all, but the coffee maker was not equipped with filters, coffee, or creamer/sugar. The one in our room was a 5 cup that uses the small filters. I did not see an ice machine nor any ice cube trays in the fridge, so we made our own.
