Big words, but true. My son once walked up the stairs to the top floor and said: This place just makes me smile!

This year, you're going to love your vacation!

This is the most beautiful house on Topsail! And it's right on the beach - not an 'ocean-view' a couple of blocks from the beach or across the street from the beach, or even a piano lot (with only a small strip that extends between the houses to the beach). Seas the Day is right on the beach and the house is gorgeous. <br>
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 comments 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 by the pier 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 Daddy Mac's on-the-beach sea food, Shuckin' Shack with it's oysters, or about Sears Landing and its award winning clam chowder made with sherry, or Bouchaines 211 - 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, 55 Burgers and Shakes, the Daily Grind coffee and wine bar and on and on. The wine bar is called unWINEd. The owner, Jeremy, is a friend of mine. Tell him Steve Morrison sent you. He'll take good care of you. You won't want to leave.

And I haven't even talked about surf fishing, kayaking, surfing, jet skiing and more (check out the Boat Rental picture I included if you want to rent a boat or jet-ski)

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 M 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.'


BEDROOM SETUP: Top floor: QB & Full Bath. (There is also a QSS but it's right in the middle of the living room. I don't recommend it); Middle floor: KB, QB, 2BB (i.e. 4 beds), and BB with 2 Full Baths. There is a deck on both floors and there is an enclosed outdoor shower on the deck of the middle floor. The bottom floor has 2 full car garage, grill, and storage space.

    We had a wonderful stay at Seas the Day with our kids. Wide beach with plenty of space to relax even with high tide. The beds were comfortable and having linens provided is always a plus. The view from the home is amazing (a lot of dolphins during our trip)!Our only feedback is that the kitchen could benefit from updated pots and pans. :)Would definitely return!

    Everything was as good as we expected with this wonderful ocean front house. I was very happy and able to relax since the deck had a gate with an automatic closure and lock so that my small dog could not go on the beach without me taking him. I love Topsail and Surf City beach and it is a wonderful place for family. Steven, the host was great to work with,

    The house was nice and roomy. Nice bathrooms. Great location. You can sit at the kitchen table and watch the dolphins. So easy to go to beach and easy to go back for bathroom breaks. Beach was wonderful. Lots of shells and shark teeth. I would definitely stay there again.

    Great communication from our host. Absolutely loved the open kitchen, dinning area and living room. It was perfect for our family and Thanksgiving dinner. The house was cheerful and the decks were amazing. Loved that the outdoor shower had hot and cold water. It was perfect for warming up after fishing and shark tooth hunting! Location was perfect, close to the shops and close for our Marine to come and go as needed. Loved being on the beach! Will definitely be back!

    Perfect beach vacation! The house is very comfortable. Kitchen supplies sufficient for cooking all meals. Location couldn't be better, convenient to shops in surf city as well as Topsail and North Topsail. We loved our morning coffee with dolphin sightings! We have come once a year for the last few years and certainly best beach front house we have stayed in so far.

    This property was very well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed although we didn’t cook a whole lot. It was located close to lots of places to eat and shop. We had plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space after a few days of too much togetherness haha. The beach was just a few steps away and the outdoor shower with hot water was a godsend with kids. Definitely would stay there again.

    Seas the Day is the best maintained property I've stayed at in the 20 years we've been renting on Topsail Island. Amazing location with the only traffic issues being the always hectic move in Saturday. The view was great, the beach about 30 yards away and the owner texted me hours after our arrival to assure everything was as promised. He even sent someone to check on an issue the previous tenant had reported (and texted me who was coming , why and at what time). Great location and attentive owner made this our best annual family beach trip ever.

    The place was beautiful. It is very spacious and fit our needs to the tee. We have been coming to Topsail Island for 35 years and needed more space. This did the job and then some. Our host Steve Morrison was superb. He was at our beck and call. He answered our texts in an instant. We have booked the place for next year. Can't wait@

    Really enjoyed our stay at Seas the Day! We enjoyed the beach, watched sunrises, played games, ate lots of great food (including at Rick's one evening), did some shopping, got ice cream several times at Sweet alicious, played pickleball, fished & played mini golf.. It was a week full of fellowship and we were blessed to get to spend a week together in such a beautiful place.The house suited our family perfectly! The neighborhood was quiet, the beach was not crowded, and the street traffic was not heavy. Despite our first day (Saturday) being under a tropical storm warning, the weather the rest of the week was wonderful. The host was very easy to reach and addressed a small issue we encountered quickly. We very much hope to stay here again for future summers.

    This was a great location and beautiful place. Had all the amenities that the site said it did. The Kitchen is well stocked with dishes/silverware, pots and pans, etc!!!!!!!The only downside to this, we were not aware that when we arrived, we had to make our own beds. This is not something that I/we have ever had to do in any other VRBO we have stayed at. would have been nice to know this before we got there.

    This house is amazing! As soon as we walked in, we immediately noticed how clean it was. And of course the incredible beach view, right outside the windows! The deck got a lot of use! The location of the house is perfect, it's very quiet, and not a lot of people. Communication with the host was superb. My only issue was that we wish we had known ahead of time that there were no cable channels, as the listing stated (hopefully that is updated). Otherwise, no issues at all, and we would stay here again! Thanks for hosting us! We had a fantastic time!!

    We have stayed at Seas the Day many times and our stay this last time was as wonderful as all the other times. The house is well maintained, clean, plenty of room, and dog friendly which is important for us. Checking in and out is a breeze with Steven and he is very responsive as well. You really can’t beat the location, close to everything you need. We love the view from the deck; it’s a wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail. For us, it’s a slice of Heaven.
