About this property
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.

Happy to hear the house exceeded your expectations and provided a great location for your vacation.
This was the perfect house for our family vacation
The house was beautiful. The pool was even better. We had 3 adults and 4 children and everyone had a blast. It's a short walk to the beach that wasn't over crowded. Definitely recommend.

Glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. Happy to hear the pool was a hit!
We had the best time at this property!! The location is great and I can’t say enough about the pool and outdoor space! The house is very clean and has all the necessary pots/utensils for cooking. The bedrooms were perfect with comfortable beds and the loft area is a perfect bonus space for kids! The owner was great in communicating and making sure we had what we needed. We look forward to staying in the future!
This is the first time we’ve stayed at Surf City with a Pool. It was a great option for our group to split up the day. The landscaping is great and we loved the breezeway as well. Very Clean and easy check in.
We loved staying here. Young kids and adults, short walk to the beach, close to everything. Amenities can’t be beat, everyone was so comfortable. We will 100% be booking this house again!

So glad to hear you enjoyed your vacation on Topsail Island and at our home, Seaquestered. We look forward to welcoming you back!
This was one of the best VRBOs we’ve ever stayed in! The outdoor space was incredible - completely private and perfect for relaxing or playing. We loved the shaded seating area, table tennis, heated pool, hot tub, and the bikes and grill were such a great bonus. Our kids had the best time swimming and playing with their cousins while the adults enjoyed the beautiful beach views. Inside, the house was spotless and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They even provided games to play. The hosts were friendly, responsive, and made everything easy from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again!
This was one of our best family vacations to Topsail yet. The house is in a great location and has so many things to do right on the property too. The house was also really clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

So happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your time at Seaquestered and on Topsail Island. We appreciate your noticing our efforts to provide a clean and comfortable home for our guests, as we take pride in doing so.. We hope to see you again soon!
This is our second time staying here and the property was, once again, outstanding. Everything was meticulously clean, everything worked as it should, and the owners were extremely responsive and accommodating. We can't wait for our next stay!
This home by far exceeded my expectations. The house was spotless when we arrived. When I stepped into the back yard, it was almost a resort. We loved everything from the pool to the surround sound system. It’s very comfortable sitting in the breezeway. The beds were comfortable and I was pleased to see the same pillow brand I use at home. I would definitely rent this property again.
This is our third time to stay at this place and we absolutely love it. It’s so well furnished and comfortable. They have thought of every detail to make it a great stay at the beach. It’s super clean and Ben and Kim are always prompt with communication. highly recommend.
Our family truly enjoyed our week at Seaquestered. The home is superbly clean and beautiful, the kitchen is well-stocked and the pool was amazing. Ken was super-fast in responding to our question about the pool. We would absolutely stay here again.
Thanks for a great week!
We could not have asked for a better trip. The house was amazing the location was good short walk to beach access. The pool and hot tub were a hit for my crew. We also loved that the entire back of the house was fenced in. The owners were amazing at responding quickly and were very kind.. Such a wonderful trip hated to leave
Seaquestered was perfect in so many ways. We are two families of 4 with kids ages 17-21. The location was convenient to stores, restaurants, and shopping. The house was immaculate, and every detail was thought of. The outdoor set up was perfect. A true backyard oasis. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Ben & Tamina
We’ve watched our sons grow from building sandcastles to surfing the waves & along the way we've established countless friendships with homeowners, business owners, and vacationers. We have observed the amazing growth of the island, while continuing to enjoy its quaint, southern charm. We know and love this island and are sure you will love it, too.
Why they chose this property
We have enjoyed owning our own home on Topsail Island and welcomed the opportunity to provide this property as a place for other families to build memories as well. We picked this property for its superb location on a secondary beach road with a beautiful ocean view. It is located close enough to shopping, restaurants, and tourist attractions (just a short bike ride away) but maintains a quiet, private location to enjoy time with family and friends.
What makes this property unique
Very private backyard with natural live oak maritime forest area, heated pool, hot tub, and gas fire pit. Proximity to beach, restaurants, a public park, and shopping. Cleanliness and attention to details - We take pride in maintaining this home and welcoming families to Topsail Island!
