We booked Sea Vista for the first time knowing that it was a refurbished 1950s motel and expected nothing more but we were surprised! The cost was fantastic but the oceanfront view from all of the rooms was the best. Jonathan and all of the staff were so very helpful and there if you needed them - if not, they left you alone to enjoy this peaceful place. There were numerous times that we were the only ones on the beach! Sea Vista has no elevator, no crushed ice machine, no breakfast buffet, no daily room clean and linen restock (unless you request it ) which is just what we needed for a relaxing 4 night stay. If you’re wanting all of the “extras” then you need to move on because that will just leave another space for those of us who love it! Can’t wait to get back to Topsail and Sea Vista!
