Our stay was a quick getaway family reunion. Even though it rained throughout the entire weekend, the property had enough space to accommodate six adults. The property itself was more than comfortable. clean, kitchen well stocked, beds were clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, we did not venture out much due to the weather, but the view from the balcony was awesome.

About the host

Hosted by Christy Kitson

Host profile image
Christy is a realtor in the RDU area of North Carolina and we have managed multiple Short Term Rental properties in NC for the last 5 years. Good Better Beach has been part of a rental program for the last 4 years through a local management company, and beginning in 2021, our family will be managing this property for our guests. Since purchasing this home in 2018, we have upgraded all of the furniture, including mattresses, sofas, flooring and lighting fixtures.

Why they chose this property

We have always wanted a house at the beach and looked for a home that we could easily walk to the beach to relax. Good Better Beach is 50 yards from the beach and has amazing views of both the ocean and sound, creating many breathtaking sunrise and sunset views from the decks of the home. With 4 bedrooms and an elevator, Good Better Beach is ideal for any size family looking to get away! Topsail Island is known for its great beaches, being a sea turtle sanctuary, and has many great restaurants within 15 minutes for dining.

What makes this property unique

For peak season rentals (April through October), Sunday Check-In and Check-Out are requested.
