From the moment we booked to the sad departure from Oak Island the process with Bryan was enjoyable and efficient. The host did a wonderful job of communicating with us in advance.A really nice getaway trip at a great location. Clean, cute apartment location in a quiet location. With easy (7 minutes max) access to beach and a pleasant neighborhood to enjoy evening walks in (with nearby public dock with bench seating to watch ICW small boat traffic) this is a great location.Highly recommend the hosts and location and would definitely stay again !

FANTASTIC

Bryan and Marti are superb hosts! The home was perfect. Location was amazing. Quiet neighborhood and close to all the beaches. Everything was spotless. The bed was extremely comfortable. They had extra snacks, variety of coffee, appliances to cook anything, beach items to take along for the day, and cold water in the fridge. I would definitely stay here again!!!

Weekend Getaway

Took our 2 boys for end of school weekend trip. Everything mentioned in the listing is completely accurate. The host communicates very well and answers all your questions. The apartment was super clean, small but just what we needed for the 4 of us for a weekend. Just blocks away from the beach. We would definitely go back!!

If ur looking for a nice cozy and quiet spot for just a few people. This is the place to be. The place was in perfect condition when I checked in. Super clean and nice and cool inside the paradox palace (it’s hot in July) communication with the owners was simple and easy. I would definately recommend the paradox to anyone interested in staying in the oak island area. I know it will be my go to spot when I am in the area. Thank you for a beautiful place to stay.
