Perfect little home.

Didn’t really spend much time at the property. But it was perfect for our needs. I have family in Southport so this is close enough and yet gives us the ability to spend a short time on the beach as well for some alone time. Thank you for sharing your home. The May’s

Poorly managed property

1. The whole house had a musty smell which propagated to our clothing. 2. The scatter rugs are a safety hazard as they easily slip and move under your feet. 3. We did not have the property to ourselves as there was a boat on the property which came and went. 4. After emptying the trash cans they were immediately filled up by someone other than us. 5. Two round bowls in the kitchen had discussing stains in them so we were concerned about using them. We have used VRBO twice before and this was the worst experience of them all.

Wonderful stay!

The place was exactly as described. Great location to everything! We had a wonderful stay and will look for available dates when we come back to the area! The host was very informative with everything we may have needed to know. We loved that umbrellas, beach chairs, toys, etc. were available to use!

Cute House

The house was cute. Rooms where a great size. Mattresses is all three beds were awful. Cleanliness was an issue. The "House" instructions including stripping the beds and putting laundry in a basket, but the cleaning company had their own rules that included sweeping all of the floors before you leave. We found 3 LARGE acrylic fingernail around the house that was pretty gross. The beds are not made when you get there. The sheets are in a plastic package to ensure cleanliness, but it also means you had to make the beds. The owner was great about communication, just wish the cleaning company was better.

Excellent week

We had a wonderful week and we highly recommend renting the golf cart as well. We come every summer from WI and normally bring a ton of sand back in our vehicle, this is the cleanest our truck has been because we used the golf cart to go back and forth to the beach. It was perfect. My dog loved the great dane next store - his name is Onyx and is the sweetest dog. Both neighbors were very friendly. Steve responds so quickly and worked with us regarding a slightly earlier check in time, which worked out great from us. We had just spent a week in Wilmington and were coming directly to Oak Island. Thank you again Steve for everything. The photos look just like the property. We loved the location and easy beach access.

Had another great stay at Cescape. It's perfect for us and our two labs. House is well maintained and clean. Great place to get away and relax. Lots of great places nearby to eat. Labs love the fenced-in yard. Steve and Rhonda are wonderful hosts, communicating well and quickly addressing any questions.

Family Get Away/Birthday Celebration

Thank you so much for opening up your home to my children and I and all our fluffy babies! We all had a wonderful trip with family time and a birthday celebration. The ocean and sand is always very relaxing. And we were so thankful you allowed pets so the whole family could come. Hopefully we can return soon!

Cescape is Our Happy Place

This was our second experience staying at Cescape. Steve is an amazing host and very attentive. The house is very comfortable and provides everything you need. The location is close to the beach, tons of restaurants, grocery stores and cute shops. The neighborhood is quiet with stunning houses everywhere. I enjoyed taking long walks in the neighborhood everyday morning especially at the end of the street by the Inner Coastal. The property has the perfect backyard for your fur babies with a fence and also a kennel. We rented Steve’s golf cart again and had a blast with it. My family and 2 dogs had a perfect Spring break once again and plan on returning.

Cute place nice neighbors

We had a great time. Neighbors were pretty cool and their dog was very friendly. Definitely liked the fenced in yard but the big guy can be intimidating if your dog gets spooked easily. Owners were responsive and property was ready when we arrived. Although the cleaning crew didnt do the greatest job thats not on the owner.

Highly recommend Island life

Great location, wonderful hosts, the cleanliness had some issues but I let the hosts know since it is a company they use for the rental. They are addressing the issue, responded fast to my concerns and made it right. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it. Close to shopping and not far from beach.
