House was so beautifully decorated! Felt just like being at home. Spacious, cozy. Everything was so clean!! We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area. Lisa was so sweet and let us in the house 2 hours early as we made really good time getting there, which was so much appreciated!

My family and I love it, the house is very comfortable and the decor is amazing. We found the tranquility we were looking for.....no noise and nature makes the place very pleasant. Thank you Lisa, we were very happy in the days we spent in Hampstead.

We had a nice stay, the house was comfortable and felt like home. The neighborhood was nice, and we enjoyed walking and playing horse shoes in the yard next to the house. The screened in patio was very nice, we enjoyed sitting and relaxing outside.

My whole family really enjoyed our stay here. The house was spotless and was very comfortable. There was a lot to do around the area, then we really like resting on the enclosed porch in the evenings. We hope to stay here again in the future.

The house was perfect. Spotlessly clean, with cute decor and inviting hosts. Kitchen had all of the basics, and we enjoyed several home cooked meals during our stay.
Great location to explore local beaches (Topsail and Wrightsville) and very close to the Hampstead Kiwanis Park (big hit with our 2 & 6 year olds).

Cute, Clean, and Clearly Treasured
We had a fantastic stay at Better Off. You can tell how much love and care goes into the property. Location right off the highway is great. Close to the beach (but still a little bit of a drive). Easy to get into Surf City or Wilmington. The perfect size for our family of four. Would certainly stay again. Thank you so much!

We enjoyed our stay in this house. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. There was even coffee, cream, sugar, granola bars for our first morning to get going. There were condiments and plenty of spices so we just had to add some groceries to the fridge and we were cooking with gas!! The gas stove was lovely.
The neighborhood is well maintained and safe. Proximity to the beach was very convenient and the were four different major groceries within a few miles.
We sat on the screened porch every morning and had our coffee. It was so relaxing to watch the squirrels in the trees and listen to the birds. We even had some lizards and geckos that seemed to say hello to us each morning, in a friendly way.

We had a fabulous stay at Better Off. We loved staying in a beach house, without the beach price. We were in the area for both work and play - and were able to do both perfectly. The neighborhood is very quiet and the house has everything you need for either a short or a long stay like ours. There are plenty of stores & amenities close by and the beach is less than 20 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the area. Thanks for everything, Lisa!

We booked this house about 72hrs before driving 1000mi cross country, for a last minute Thanksgiving with our oldest son. Our son is a Marine currently stationed at Camp Lejeune & since he couldn't make it home to Chicago we decided to bring Thanksgiving to him. Anyway, Lisa was beyond kind, helpful, & extremely thoughtful from start to finish & beyond. After learning of our last minute situation she & her husband offered to buy us a turkey & had it waiting in the fridge at the house, along with some ones for dessert as well! The house itself is very nicely decorated, clean, & really feels cozy. We'll definitely be back as our son is going to be out here for at least 2 more years

When we got there we didn't realize how wonderful a screened porch would be. The weather was perfect for morning coffee evening beverages on the porch.
The kitchen was so well stocked we were able to bake muffins, cookies and cook most anything.
Comfortable seating and wifi also made for easier access to my work while on vacation needs.
Mostly being able to spend time with my grandchildren in a comfortable environment was amazing!
When I extended the stay our hostess responded immediately and made it so easy.
Our Hampstead vacation was so memorable and relaxing.

This house is wonderful. Myself and five others enjoyed staying four nights with no problems. It is what you would expect from the listing, no unwanted surprises upon arrival. (Which has happened on other trips) I will seek out this house when I return to Hampstead.

The most wonderful vacation
My sister, niece, and myself stayed in Better Off for a week- just left today! We had the most incredibly relaxing and wonderful stay.
The house is VERY clean- absolutely spotless, actually. It was so comforting to stay somewhere that has very obviously been thoroughly cleaned, both due to the pandemic and also because I have personally stayed in some rental properties that were kinda yucky.
The rental had everything we needed and more! Fully stocked kitchen (I joked that they had a better kitchen than I do at home!), comfortable living room, dining room table, beautiful enclosed porch, and the beds were COMFY!
On top of that, they did little things to really make the stay much more pleasant- extra beach towels, board games, an extra beach bag, and jigsaw puzzles! My sister and I might be a little weird but we had SO much fun working on jigsaw puzzles after going to the beach for the day!
The beach is an easy 15-ish minute drive away, and absolutely beautiful. We had some perfect days where the water was a tropical turquoise- something I didn’t know we could get on our east coast beaches!
Overall it was the most relaxing vacation I’ve had in a really long time. The ONLY negative was, if you are a person who likes to DoorDash or Grubhub/etc, there really isn’t anything except a couple fast food restaurants. I love cooking though, so it wasn’t an issue for me.
I hope to stay there again in the future!!

Great central location to Base, Beach & Wilmington
Great 4 day weekend. We were moving my son in to his home. He needed to be a work Friday, but stuff not coming till Tuesday am. We enjoyed the central location, Beach at Surf side and Top Sail. Dinner at Manna in Wilmington. Pizza from Nunzio’s, Sushi from Fancy Sushi & Restaurant. Coffee Bar at the house was great. Very clean and well appointed for our stay. Would definitely rent again for a Beach week.

This is a very nice and roomy house that has everything you will need... Pots, pans, coffee makers, spices, silverware, plates/bowls/glasses, towels. I also enjoyed the beach decor. The owner is quick to respond to questions and offer suggestions.

Great beach house
We loved our stay at Better Off! The house was very clean and had plenty of space for me and my 3 kids to move around. It is located in a great little neighborhood and I enjoyed going for a run thru it in the mornings! The beachy decor was very cute and I loved having my morning coffee on the screened in porch! The coffee bar area with biscotti treats was a sweet surprise which I appreciated! The owner always responded quickly to any issues. We couldn’t figure out how to lock the keyless entry and Lisa was quick to explain how it worked. The air condition switched to eco mode on our 2nd day and it was quite warm on our return from the beach but a text to Lisa and everything was corrected. The house was about 15 min or so from the public beach access on Topsail or Surf City but was an easy drive with plenty of grocery stores nearby. We also drove to Wilmington in about 25-30 min for a nice dinner. We really loved our visit and would definitely come back for our next beach trip!! Wish we could have stayed longer!!
