This is such a great little place! You can’t get closer to the beach than this- it’s extremely dog-friendly (we were able to bring our own dog, plus get to enjoy lots of others also!)- the room is the perfect size to be comfortable, and has all you would need! •A private beach access is provided (be mindful that there are stairs to access the beach) •The room was clean and had all basics provided (we brought a small electric griddle to cook, but there is a hot plate provided, as well as cookware) •The view from the balcony is AMAZING! •The staff are all very personable and friendly- they make you feel comfy as soon as you get there We definitely recommend a stay here!

Great place and an amazing stay.

A hidden.gem of a Motel. Clean, had a kitchenette, and beach access in the middle of the hotel. Loved sitting on the balcony and watching the waves. Off the beaten path a bit so it was quiet without any traffic but resteraunts and shopping was a 15 minute drive away. Staff was friendly, very helpful and offered great suggestions about the area. Many other guests i met have been staying at the motel for yearly trips.

Outstanding stay at this establishment! If you’re looking for Marriot or Hilton this place isn’t for you. Simple, old school accommodations, but very clean and welcoming and best of all right on the beach with everything you need. Will definitely return!!

The motel was quiet. Extremely dog friendly. The rooms were very clean, updated, The mattresses in room #316 were very firm. Too firm for me but my husband loved it. Beautiful view of the ocean from the room. Nice balcony with comfy chairs. Good water pressure. Topsail is a beautiful beach. The southern end is quiet. There is a small grocery store down the street, ice cream parlor, outfitters store, restaurant, the Jolly Roger pier is walking distance.
