*****Question: Why was Seas the Day rented ALL SUMMER while many places were empty half the summer? Could it be how beautiful the place is? That it is right on the beach? Or is it the very reasonable rates? Find out for yourself!*********
This is the most beautiful house on Topsail!
Now wait a minute...I bet you think I'm just saying that. Well look at what some of are guests have said (see the full comment on the link below):
"The website does not do this house justice! It is gorgeous, and the views of the beach and water are amazing from every room. " Bonnie from Va
"Seas the Day is one of the best vacation houses I have stayed in. ... You will not be disappointed if you rent this place" Norma Jean from Ohio
"I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a wonderful beach house that has one of the best vistas in Topsail." Mark from Northern Va
"Loved that house!!!!!! oh my, the walk to the pier was wonderful and so pretty. the house was perfect and held my whole family! it was an awesome vacation! thank you so much! wonderful!" Jessica from Ohio
And it goes on. You will truly love your stay at Seas the Day.
Located just 1 mile south of the Surf City pier, you're close to all the activity, yet just far enough away to enjoy the tranquility that lives here also. As a matter of fact, you may note some of our guests jokingly refer to the "Buddy's walk". Buddy's is a bar/restaurant by the pier, which is a nice 1 mile walk on the beach. Some people, including my brother, myself and our two wives like to walk down to Buddy's at lunch time, watch the surfers by the pier, order oyster shooters, and... possibly a cerveza or two (that's Spanish for beer) and maybe a tequila shooter. Well, the walk back is now quite enjoyable. We often just come back, lay out a towel and catch some rays and a snooze. The Buddy's walk - a perfect way to spend a vacation day.
Do you like to bike or run? There is a bike shoulder on the main road the entire way from the north side of Surf City to the south tip of the island. The island is like 22 miles long, so you can get a good work out.
Recently I rode my bike to the south end, and the smell of Jasmin and ocean air was unbelievable. I stopped on the far south point of the island and walked around the beach on the undeveloped point. I then rode back to Topsail Beach city hall and said hi to the ladies who worked there. (They had kindly sent me an invitation to pay real estate tax in their city even though my house was in Surf City. I graciously declined :-) but they were very pleasant.) I then rode back to Surf City and promptly bought an ice cream cone at DQ just to make sure I hadn't burnt off too many calories.
Believe me, this place is fun.
And I haven't even told you about Giligan's, just before the bridge on the mainland side and it's hilarious karaoke nights, or about Sears Landing and its award winning clam chowder made with sherry, or Indigo Marsh - the best restaurant overlooking the sound that you will ever find. Oh, and how about the fresh fish market (I mean right off the boat) behind the Crab Pot where you can get shrimp, flounder, shark or whatever they have been catching and take it back and grill it at Seas the Day.
You can play 18 holes at Coastal Carolina's only four-star golf course, North Shore Golf and Ocean Club (as per Golf Digest).
Surf shops that make me wish I was 18 again, Andy's and Island Delights that serve 50's style burgers and malts, the Surf City Wine and Cheese Shop (I go in for the weekly wine tastings and just the great smell!), II Bouchaines, and on and on. You won't want to leave.
And I haven't even talked about surf fishing, kayaking, surfing, jet skiing and more (check out the ALL CAPS paragraph below to see my web site for MORE things to do with phone numbers, addresses, etc.)
Seas the Day is BEACH FRONT. It is not a piano lot, a view lot, or across the street from the ocean. It is direct OCEANFRONT property.

My teenage son once walked up the stairs to the living room and said "This place just makes you smile!"
I still think OUR GUESTS SAY IT BEST:
"We loved the outside shower, complete wtih room for dry clothes and towels! Very kid friendly, my 13-month-old niece could wander around and the gates kept her safe. Topsail itself is so peaceful. We went to the sound side a few times to fish, canoe, and take the baby swimming. We golfed, ran, sailed (you have very nice neighbors who invited us!), and fished from the surf (caught sharks, stingrays, and a few fish). Such a great house -- plenty of space, well decorated, and everything you need in the kitchen for eating in!" Bonnie VA
Jim Murray from GA agrees wholeheartedly:
"My sister and I are both recently retired school teachers. For over 25 years we have talked about renting a beach house on the North Carolina coast, big enough to house all of our families. ... This house was everything we had dreamed about. It was RIGHT ON THE WATER,...
"Setting on our porch, we could watch the sun rise each morning. In the evening we could drive to the end of the island and watch the sun sink into the ocean....I bought 5 kites and one day we all spent the day flying them. ... We enjoyed the secluded walks on the beach and the discovery of hundreds of sea shells. We saw dolphins swimming by several times. The only regret we had, was that we couldn't stay for another week."

Homeowner Response:
These guests were wonderful. The washing machine broke down the day before Veterans Day. I couldn't get the appliance guy to come out until the day after - and that was fair, he was a vet who had served us proudly. Then he told me that we should buy a new one, so we did, but that took a day. I'm glad they had a good time. We try to get our maintenance people over there asap if anything breaks down.

Tami Touchstone , Knoxville, TN
Homeowner Response:
Tami was an absolute doll. In fact, we had had the carpet cleaned the day before she arrived, but the carpet people had left all the chairs stacked in the kitchen and on the bed to let the floor dry and they didn't come back to place them down again. I felt so bad for the inconvenience, that I had my maintenance person go over immediately to set them down and I bought Tami and her family dinner on us. We may not always be perfect, but you will get responsive from my wife and I! Thanks Tami for the kind words.
