Beautiful and Spacious Home

The house was absolutely perfect for my adult family. While we weren’t in the house the majority of our stay, when we were there, our family was more than comfortable. We had space for privacy, beautiful accommodations, and a great living room to watch football together. Highly recommend.

Family Vacation at Good Better Beach

Once again, we enjoyed our time at Good Better beach. The house is perfect for our family, allowing space for different generations. The house has all you could possibly need for cooking at home and enjoying time relaxing. A short walk to the beach and easily accessible to all shopping and local attractions. I highly recommend this home and hope will be back next year for our fifth family vacation at this beautiful home!

Great Spot!

Great house, great location, walking distance to the beach- well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and a ton of space for a family & friends. The layout of the house was perfect & pet friendly 😊 Unfortunately, The weather was not the best so we spent a lot of time hanging out watching the Olympics and tropical storm Debby roll through. The communication with the owner was great. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again! Thanks again!!

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.
