I truly look forward to hosting and re-hosting you! Now that it's May, the island is ready for summer. Today’s ocean temp. is 74 degrees. Come on out and get in on the good times! My condo is in the perfect location for you to enjoy a wonderful and relaxing beach vacation - it is less than a 1 minute walk to both the beach ramp and the olympic sized pool and is equipped with everything that you need!
Here is a Complete and Full Description of my Condo including all of the information you should know:
My condo, Sea4Urself, is ready to be your home away from home for your beach vacation! The condo was completely renovated from top to bottom when I purchased it in June, 2021. It has just been updated in April, 2025. It is in building #2 in the Surf Condos. You have an unobstructed view of both the ocean and sand dunes from the condo!
I am Rob, your host. I encourage you to read the over 100 reviews that I have earned. The reviews will tell you everything that you need to know about my condo and the hosting services that I provide to my guests. I am very proud to report that my condo is rated 10/10 in all 6 Vrbo rating categories! I strive to give all of my guests a hassle free / stress free wonderful vacation. I am a certified international tour manager and full time year round Topsail Beach resident. Living right down the road makes it easy for me to provide amazing service to my guests. I have travelled through all 50 states and 55 countries. I know what beach vacationers want and need and how to provide it to my guests! Every visitor who stays at my condo receives warm and welcoming hospitality before, during and after their vacation! I truly care that my guests have a wonderful experience when they choose my condo for their vacation.
The condo has 1 bedroom. It has a King sized bed, TV, dressers, nightstands, and a blackout shade. There are twin sized bunk beds in the hallway. Additionally there is a queen sized pullout sofa in the living room. At maximum capacity you can fit 2 in the bedroom, 2 in the bunk beds, and 2 on the pull out sofa. That's why Vrbo lists that a 1 bedroom condo sleeps 6. You can see the ocean, dunes and pool unobstructed from your private balcony and from the living room. Sea4Urself was remodeled top to bottom in June 2021 and now updated again in April 2025 with high end everything. The kitchen has all of the equipment and gadgets that you need. The TV's are large. The couches and recliner comfortable. The wall decorations and pictures are relaxing and inviting. The private deck has high quality chairs and a table where you can see out to the dunes and ocean unobstructed. A great place to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon happy hour.
The condo has an upscale vibe and a beachy feel to it. It is not a luxury property, and is not being advertised as such. Sea4Urself is a super comfortable, professionally and properly cleaned, totally stocked, full kitchen condo with an ocean view. The condo is less than a 1 minute walk to both the beach ramp and the olympic sized pool. So easy & convenient. It has everything you need. I make sure that the condo is fully stocked with all of the essentials including toilet paper, paper towels, sponges, dish soap, and much more. It was remodeled and is updated with all high quality amenities. Going back and forth from the condo to the beach or pool during your days could not be easier! The condo comes with a private reserved covered parking space that fits 2 vehicles right under the condo - you never have to look for a parking spot!
The condo comes with a private equipment shed. In the shed there are brand new high quality beach chairs, both high and low style, for relaxing on the beach in comfort during your stay. In the shed you will also find a full sized shibumi shade, brand new boogie boards, a beach umbrella, pails, shovels, pool noodles, a raft, and more. There is no need to bring your beach equipment from home. Everything you need to enjoy the beach and pool is here waiting for you!
The Surf Condos are located 1 mile north of the Surf City bridge on the ocean side of the street. The town of Surf City is between the condo and the bridge, giving you easy access to everything you need. It is very easy to get to and use the restaurants and shops in Surf City. It is less than a 5 minute drive to anywhere. Walking along the beach is safe and easy both during the daytime and at night. Google maps lists it as a 20 to 25 minute walk along the beach from the condo door to the center of Surf City. Walking the beach to town is a great way to spend time and get in some non-water exercise.
Topsail Island is a 26 mile long coastal barrier island that is very narrow between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intercoastal Waterway. There are no traffic lights, high rises, or national chains on the island. We are a simple, laid-back, easy place to be. Those seeking nightlife, glitz and glamour should look elsewhere. Those who enjoy a beautiful beach in a natural setting that feels the same as it has for decades will be ecstatic with their choice.
If you are looking for a very comfortable, clean, well maintained updated condo with a full kitchen and private deck with an ocean view in a perfect location to enjoy a hassle free beach vacation less than a 1 minute walk to the beach ramp and pool then you have found exactly what you are searching for! I am an owner who truly cares about his guests having a wonderful experience. I am a full time year long Topsail Beach resident. I am right down the road on the island available to you with prompt and excellent communication and service should anything be needed before, during or after your stay.
Rental Rules:
No Smoking Inside the Condo - Smoking is permitted on the deck. No Parties No Pets Renters must comply with the Surf Condo rules.
*Some Other Information that's important to know: Please be sure to read this including the linen and towel policy that is standard on Topsail Island*:
- This is referred to as a "First Floor Unit". Due to the fragile environment of being on a barrier island and the real threats of hurricanes and tropical storms, it is against the law to live on the ground floor anywhere on Topsail Island. It is 14 steps to get into the condo. There is no elevator or ramp available. You must use the stairs. - No grills are allowed on the decks at the Surf Condos. There is a grilling area with charcoal grills available for you to use anytime. - There is a washer / dryer room in the complex, but there is no washer or dryer inside the unit. - The grilling area, laundry room and gym are a 5 minute walk from the condo. - Linens and Towels are not included in your rental. You either have to bring your own linens and towels or I am happy to set up a rental for your stay. I get a full time locals discount. This is due to the history of Topsail Island rentals having been available to rent Saturdays to Saturdays only. Only weekly rentals were allowed prior to covid, and the majority of house and condo rentals on the island are still rented in this manner. Due to this, the entire Island gets turned around on Saturdays between 10:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. The cleaners who work on the island come into the condo and clean it for you. They do a fantastic job. There is simply not enough time to make beds and do laundry services. That's how this long standing policy of bring your own or rent linens and towels came into effect. - The Condo is perfect for a couple and very comfortable for a family of 4. With the pull out sofa it technically sleeps 6 according to Vrbo. - Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions. It is my pleasure to assist you with your beach vacation to Topsail Island, and I look forward to hosting you!

Excellent Stay
My husband and I booked our last minute trip for our honeymoon, and couldn’t have been happier with the entire trip, condo, host, etc. Rob was on top of communication as soon as our reservation was confirmed. His recommendations helped us navigate our stay and was always making sure we had everything we needed. The condo was very clean, well stocked, spacious, and location was very quiet. We’ve decided this will be our go to place from now on. Book this condo… you won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful!
Our trip was short but absolutely wonderful! Rob, the owner, is amazing! His communication was 100% on point and very detailed. The condo is clean & the pool is wonderful. We felt safe and we liked that a code is needed (at the gate) to enter the condo complex. Rob made us feel like we were at home. He even provided Key Lime Pie and chocolate chip cookies for our girls.
Unfortunately, I fell ill with extreme vertigo and had to cut our trip short 😔. This was due to inner ear issues and was at no fault on the owner or condo.
Rob messaged daily, after we arrived home, to check in & see how I was feeling. True kindness is hard to find these days. His thoughtfulness will never be forgotten! Our family can’t wait to return! ❤️🌊☀️

We had great view of the pool so that my kids could come and go independently while I could keep an eye on them. The beach walk is right around the corner. We also brought bikes and could easily ride into town for meals or to walk the pier. Awesome location and host!

There are truly no words to adequately describe the experience we had with Rob. The condo was pristine, the location was perfect, the communication was out of this world.
I wish we could have stayed longer. We have officially found our new favorite host and location. Our kids (5 & 3) LOVED the pool and beach access, and don’t get me started on how much they adored the bunk beds!
My husband and I found Robs suggestions so helpful and led us to many happy memories! We truly couldn’t say anything negative about the entire experience, start to finish! You won’t regret it. Book today!!
