Memories were made
We had such an amazing stay here. To travel as far as we did for a beach vacation with family (roughly 4,700 miles), this house met every expectation and we couldn’t have been happier with it. It was clean, no bugs and the close beach access was the cherry on top.

Great House and Location
Perfect location on Oak Island. Steps to the beach, even good ocean views from the kitchen table for breakfast every morning. Whole house is dog friendly, and was clean. The front porch is fabulous for evenings and is has railings around it so our dog could go off leash while out with us. Expansive rear yard with plenty of "potty room". Great place!

Great for families and dogs!
You can’t beat the location across the street from the ocean! The public beach access is also right across the street. That was perfect for us taking our three children across the road to the beach. And the views were incredible! We loved waking up and seeing the beach out front every morning. At first, we weren’t sure if our sheets were dirty or clean, but we still had hair from the dryer. We decided to do a load of bedsheets the first night and found out they were dirty. They were clean and without hair after putting them through the washer and dryer. The floor may not have been swept or mopped either. Sand and hair covered our feet walking through the first time. Everything else, from the bathrooms to the kitchen and dishes, was spotless. However, we couldn’t help but wonder after having dirty sheets on the beds. The place was very comfy, and the beds were extremely comfortable! We loved the food and water dishes for dogs, the basket of dog toys, and the dog bed. They also have a crate folded under the main bed if you cannot bring one. Overall, it is a great place, and we had a wonderful stay! I feel like the cleanliness issues were more of a fluke, considering how well everything else went. I would recommend this place!
