Hotels in Topsail Beach, North Carolina

The southernmost of the three towns on 26-mile-long Topsail Island, Topsail Beach takes its name from bygone merchants who used to look for the top of the sails of pirate ships roaming the area. These pirates, including the notorious Blackbeard, would rob merchant ships and claim the cargo as their own.

Today, the drama of yesteryear has faded, but not the beauty inherent in the island. From North Topsail Beach through Surf City and into Topsail Beach itself, beauty rules with strict restrictions on what can be built and how high. Once the home to an important military facility, the Topsail Beach area now features the only sea turtle hospital in the state.

Sea Vista Motel

With an unimpeded view of the Atlantic Ocean, the stately two-story Sea Vista Motel consists of privately owned and individually decorated rooms that are rented out by their respective owners. Standard motel rooms, efficiency units, honeymoon suites and two-bedroom apartments come with all the amenities of home.

You're just steps from the beach at the Sea Vista Motel, and you can bike your way around the quiet streets of the town. Surfing, swimming, fishing, golfing and even shopping are nearby. Pets are welcome with a pet fee of $40 per pet per visit. Maximum of two pets, weight limit 70 lbs.
