When you need a quiet weekend away from the stress of daily life, Hampstead, N.C., is the perfect place to rest and restore. This community has only one accommodation option – a bed and breakfast inn – but it’s a nice one and it’s the perfect place to experience Hampstead. Here, you can enjoy water views, the use of kayaks and canoes, or naps on the sun porch.

Those looking for other options will find accommodations in Topsail Island or Wilmington.
