I really enjoyed my recent visit to the Sea Vista Motel. My king-sized bed was comfortable, the…read morehardwood floor was clean, and there was lots of space. My beachfront view was phenomenal and made for a relaxing visit. My only complaint is that dogs are allowed but only if their owner remains in the room with them. They are not allowed to remain in the room without a human and this changed some of my plans related to bringing my dog. (I wasn't able to do so.) Otherwise, the visit was nice and I may return if I have a dog sitter on hand.

We've stayed at this motel many times over the past three years and have generally had positive…read moreexperiences. However, our most recent visit was extremely disappointing and unsettling due to an encounter with the manager's husband, Joseph Griffin. Over the years, we've heard stories from others about Joseph being aggressive and hostile toward guests, but we had never experienced it firsthand -- until now. During this stay, I was in the room asleep with my 3-year-old while my husband walked to the nearby Dollar General. A friend of mine, who I didn't even know was stopping by, came up the outdoor stairs with her dog to knock on our door, unaware that pets aren't allowed upstairs. The manager, Nell Griffin, came out and politely let her know that dogs were not allowed on the upper level. My friend apologized and immediately began walking the dog back downstairs. That should have been the end of it -- but then Joseph came out and began yelling at her very aggressively. Her father, who was with her, tried to calm things down, but Joseph continued to escalate the situation. As they left, he took down their license plate number. Soon after, Joseph came up to our room, yelling that we were being evicted and charged a $350 cleaning fee -- despite the fact that no dog ever entered our room, and I was asleep the entire time with my child. My husband wasn't even on the property when it happened. We tried to calmly explain that we didn't know what was going on, but Joseph refused to listen and told us to leave with no refund. When my husband returned, he spoke with Nell, who was much more professional and understanding. After explaining the situation, she allowed us to stay. Still, the experience left me feeling unsafe and uncomfortable, especially being alone with my 3-year-old while my husband was away fishing. I wanted to speak to Nell about how upsetting the situation had been, but I didn't feel safe raising the issue further out of fear Joseph might escalate things again or involve the police. This entire situation was blown way out of proportion by Joseph, after Nell had already handled it respectfully. His behavior was aggressive, unnecessary, and unprofessional -- and it made us seriously question whether we'll return to a place we've stayed at loyally for years. We would appreciate the opportunity to speak with the property owners directly, either by phone or email, to discuss how this situation will be addressed and hopefully rectified.

We were loading up our car to leave, checkout time is 11am, and at 11:02 he told my fiancée that we were gonna be charged because we weren't out by 11am, the charge is ANOTHER WHOLE DAY, there were 2 other party's standing in line at the office, so for a 3 minute delay or less they made over $600.00 off decent hard working people!!!! Well I am not going to accept it, if they charged us for a day we weren't there thats forgery and we will take it from there! And NO ONE ever emphasized this, they did emphasized that the wifi password has a I in it not the number "1"... This was all up to the manager/owner discretion to charge a late check out fee or not and then they have the audacity to forge unapproved / unsigned charges on your credit card!!!! Customers BEWARE!!!!

CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT…read more I so badly wish that I could leave a 5-star review for the Island Inn! We really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect, room was clean, beds comfortable, and coffee maker hot. Unfortunately, after returning home from our great weekend trip I found that my credit card had been overcharged for the balance of the room ...by quite a lot. Thinking it was a simple mistake that could be fixed, I called right away on Monday morning and spoke to someone who took my info and said I would get a call back. She also advised me to email over my original booking receipt that showed my total. I did so. Over the next week I called and left messages two more times, emailed again, and reached out on social media. I got an immediate response on social media that someone would call me back as soon as possible. It has been days, and still nothing. I am absolutely baffled about why no one will talk to me about this overcharge. The real bummer is that we enjoyed our stay so much, we were already talking about returning next year. Now there is no way I would trust this company with my financial info ever again. Scrolling through reviews from the past few weeks, I can see I am not the only person this has happened to.

The hotel itself is beautiful,…read moreand there were so many thoughtful touches that made the experience feel special from start to finish. One of the highlights of the weekend was the Mother's Day flower bar they had set up. Guests could work directly with the florist to create their own bouquets, which was such a unique and fun experience. Molly and Lily were both so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The resort also had several activities going on during the weekend, including live music on Saturday night and yoga on Sunday morning. I'm not sure if they offer events like this every weekend, but there was definitely a nice selection of things to do during my stay. One of my favorite amenities was the beach chair and umbrella service. It made the beach experience so much more relaxing not having to drag chairs and equipment down to the sand yourself. The pool area was fantastic as well. The indoor and outdoor pools are connected side-by-side, so you can easily bounce back and forth between the two depending on what you're in the mood for. There was also a hot tub, although my only complaint is that a resort this size could really benefit from having three hot tubs instead of one. The bar had excellent drinks, and Colleen was an awesome bartender. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the cocktail list and gave great recommendations. I ate at Solstice Kitchen + Cocktails, and the food was very good. The BBQ chicken flatbread was delicious. But honestly, the view from the restaurant may have been the best part. The patio overlooks the ocean and has rocking chairs where you can sit and relax while taking in the scenery. Overall, this was an amazing experience, and I would absolutely stay here again.

Got checked in quickly and our room was nice and clean. Didn't see anything out of the ordinary or concerning in the room. The pillows were a little too soft for my liking but nothing to get upset over, bed was comfortable otherwise. Breakfast was very good; oatmeal, pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, and more. Everything was nice and hot and tasted great very pleased with the breakfast. Staff greeted us each time we entered or exited the lobby. The reason for the 1 star loss: -The elevators smell, I don't know what it is by my wife and I both noticed it every time we got into either elevator, it's not pleasant and we were in a hurry to get out. -When we came back to the hotel on night 2 our toilet was having issues. It wouldn't fully flush, it just very slowly drained down and then kept a really low water level. I called the front desk and told them, I advised them there was nothing in the toilet just water but we needed it looked at as we couldn't use it. They said the guy that could fix it had stepped out and would be back in about an hour. Fast forward 2 hours later and nothing. We call again and are told he didn't come back, the night audit guy could fix it wait for him in a couple hours. The night audit guy never came so I went downstairs. I asked if he was night audit and he said yeah and asked if I was the guy with the toilet issue. I told him yes, he said he had no idea how to fix it but handed me a plunger and said I was welcome to try to fix it myself. Not the best customer service I've had.

The pier is attached to the back of the Seaview Restaurant on the main drag in North Topsail Beach…read more Parking is free, but limited as half of lot is for patrons of the restaurant only. Upon entering the pier shop, one is greeted by a gruff gentleman who has little time for those who do not immediately understand the plethora of rules. We had to deal with his condescending attitude again as we left the pier. When leaving, visitors are to go through a gate that leads to a path around the shop rather than back through the shop. The gate was stuck and could not be opened after numerous tries. We went back through the shop and had to listen to him tell us we had not tried hard enough. The 5th star is withheld due to this gentleman's attitude with the public. The pier is wonderful. It is very well maintained and obviously popular among the local fishermen and fisherwomen. There were many stations to cut, filet and clean one's catch. A plethora of benches line the pier for seating. A ruler is present at the end of the pier to measure fish, and QR codes are posted to order lunch from the attached restaurant. A large observation tower sits at the end of the pier. The pier rules are posted in plain view and there is even a fire extinguisher should a need arise! We really enjoyed seeing what the fishermen and women were catching and all of them were very friendly and willing to share their knowledge. I would definitely recommend taking a walk on the pier when in the area.
