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.

Very clean, and a short walk to the beach. The elevator worked great bringing our gear up. Outdoor shower worked great washing our sand off. We bought groceries and didn't even need to go out to eat there was a fantastic kitchen to cook in.

Perfect Getaway

Our family has been renting good better beach for 4 years now and we absolutely love it. It’s the perfect location with a beautiful view. We spend most of our time out on the porch where you can see the ocean and sound with a constant breeze. The beach is an easy walk. Everything is always clean and Christy is always super helpful. This rental has become a yearly tradition for our family.

So awesome!!!

Our party of 8 came down for a week to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from UNCW. This house worked out perfectly. The elevator made it easy for my 80 year old parents. Kristy was so quick with answering questions and made the house super comfortable. Quick access to the beach, great beach! Had the best time, can’t thank you enough Allison. Would not change a thing.

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.
