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.
