Excellent escape from life's business.

It was very relaxing with a beautiful view. Phoebe made us feel like we were at a home away from home. Quiet, safe and peaceful getaway.

Relaxing Weekend Getaway

My best friend and I planned a quick weekend trip to the area and had the BEST time staying with Phoebe! Her home is so welcoming and such a beautiful location. Breakfast was excellent as many others have included in their reviews. We also took advantage of the hot tub and kayaks. Phoebe makes you feel like you’re visiting family or a friend. Thank you for the amazing weekend!

Phoebe and Blueberry Pancakes

We planned a short get-a-way to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. Phoebe was there to great us upon arrival and we noted in the ad and our own experience that she actually resides in the home, not separately, and has her own bedroom on the main floor. She used the kitchen to bake but otherwise stayed out of site for the most part to allow guests to use the rest of the home on the main floor- the living room and sun room. She is polite and conscientious to retreat back to her bedroom whenever guests are present. We woke daily to the wonderful smell of breakfast which we enjoyed together each day with the host at the dining table on the main floor. We were asked to remove our shoes upon arrival and whenever in the home, which we accommodated. Phoebe is delightful and her blueberry pancakes are the best I’ve have had! In fact I asked to have them two days in a row. As it was just my wife and I, and our purpose was to enjoy our anniversary, we were not sure how it would work out given the host lives on property. It worked out okay! We enjoyed her company and she was considerate enough not to overly intrude on our privacy, given we were there for a romantic getaway. Thank you for the experience Phoebe and we wish you all the best!

Pretty Place

Phoebe's place is very cozy and even though it is a shared space there is still privacy. She is a wonderful host and makes a nice breakfast! The beautiful scenery adds to the pleasantness of the place. Close to route 17 and access to Wilmington and Topsail Beach

Lovely stay and Lovely host!

We really enjoyed meeting Phoebe and staying at her B&B. We had everything we needed plus a yummy breakfast every morning. We took the kayaks out which was really an added plus. Phoebe was very flexible about our plans and gave us some tips on where to go and see while we were on the coast. She’s a gem!

Week away

By Far the best place to stay in Hamstead. Phoebes breakfasts were so amazing and we were full every time. The house was so clean and the beds were super comfy. Best sleep I’ve gotten in a long time. Also had amazing conversations with Phoebe. I hope we are able to come back soon.

Gorgeous views & a paddlers dream

Phoebe has an amazing gem of a place she shares. The breakfasts & conversation are wonderful and the ability to head out for a paddle and enjoy the hot tub & views are lovely. This was our second visit back & will not be our last, if Phoebe will have us. ❤️

Welcoming, delightful stay

We loved our time at Nana Phoebe's! We stayed for 4 nights and when we left, our 9-year old said, "We left too soon." The rooms are comfortable, the breakfast is delicious, Phoebe's warm hospitality made us feel well cared for, using the kayaks was a blast, and it was an easy drive back and forth to the beach at surf city. Other nearby highlights include the Karen Beasley turtle hospital and the roller skating rink above the post office on Topsail Beach. The sun room has a beautiful view over the water. We would love to go back!

Wonderful stay!

Phoebe made us feel right at home. We really enjoyed the homemade breakfasts she prepared for us each morning and the time we had chatting with her. She had lots of helpful information available for sightseeing and restaurants. We also enjoyed the kayaks. Hope to go back some day.
