Great, Quiet Location and Beach Access

We really enjoyed our stay! The location was just great. We were a couple of minutes away from direct beach access via a short walk. The beach was beautiful and peaceful. The house was clean and organized. All amenities were terrific, including beach chairs, beach carts, boogie boards, bikes, a ping pong table, and an air hockey table. We would definitely stay here again! .

Great spot across the street from the beach

Very well maintained house with all the amenities you can need. Game room had everything set up nicely and everything properly done. For our family we could have used an extra bathroom upstairs and a connection between floors, but over all very happy stay. Stones throw from the beach and the kids had a blast!

We can’t say enough good things about our stay, the property and our host. The house was in great condition and had everything we needed to start our vacation as soon as we walked in the door. The property was within a very short walk to the beach access, our favorite pizza shop, farmer’s market and pickleball courts. If all goes as planned…we will definitely be back next year!

Best Beach house!

This house was awesome and made our stay at the beach great. Our kids loved the basement playroom with the ping pong and ice hockey tables. The house was clean and pristine and had everything we needed. There was a TV in every room which our kids loves as well. The host Lori was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly each time I messaged her with questions. Would 100% recommend this place and we plan to stay again next year!

The house was very clean very beautifully decorated. The beds were extra comfortable. The kitchen was a breeze to work in. We didn’t find a single bug anywhere, which is a real plus as many houses that we have stayed in on Oak Island have had. I was in contact with our host Lori , who was so accommodating. We will definitely choose this house again if we do not have a larger group.

Relaxing getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this location. Its close to area shopping, great places to eat a d and a very short walk to the beach. The view from the front desk was nice and relaxing. The house was nicely decorated. All the emenities you could need were there. The downstairs game room was a grrat place to hang out. The only thing that wasnt mentioned before we got there was there are not indoor stairs to access the downstairs bathroom. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay and i would stay here again.

Great Get Away

Great location, very well stocked house- all you would ever need is there. Very clean and well maintained. Close walk to the beach. Only negative was not knowing that the 2nd bathroom and shower was downstairs and only accessible by going outside and down to the basement. That might need to be mentioned in the description of the house. But- would still stay again.

This is a great home with nice decor, comfy beds and an exceptionally well-equipped kitchen. Beach chairs, carts, and sand castle equipment are provided along with a gas grill and bikes. It was a family environment when we were there post-Labor Day, with lots of fishermen and women, and it’s an easy walk to the beach. We saw two baby loggerhead excavations while there, amazing.The upstairs/downstairs levels do not connect, but downstairs is like a clubhouse with ping-pong, darts, air hockey, TV, and games. There are front and back doors to that level just down the stairs. There’s also a queen size bed and second bath on the lower level, along with a big washer and dryer. We loved Oak Island—we went to KoKo Cabana near the pier, collected shells at the Point, and really enjoyed OKI Scoop Shop and Donuts, which is within walking distance. Get your seafood at Haag and Songs. This vacation home is very clean and bright—book it!

Everything was great

The property is as advertised. Very clean, comfortable, extraordinarilly well stocked (the little extras, such as coffee k-cups, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, laundry and dishwasher detergent, etc. -- in quantities more than just "starters" -- are appreciated. And bikes and beach gear are a real bonus). The location is fantastic. We enjoyed two free events at Middleton Park, a 1-minute walk away. Pepperoni Grill, with the best pizza and calzones on the island, is a 30-second walk away. The beach is a one-minute walk, and the grocery, restaurants and shops are minutes away. Lori, the host, is always accessible and genuinely wants her guests to have a great vacation. This is surely among the best places to stay on the island.
