What a great time we had at this home. We all felt right at home the minute we walked through the door. The house was clean and perfect, with magnificent views of the sound and just a minutes walk at the most to the beach. We love OKI for the clean family beaches and the many choices of how to spend your day. We kayed on the sound, had beach time, went to OKI Golf Course with their friendly staff and could easily drive to Southport to eat if we chose to. The kids had fun spotting crabs off the back dock and on the little beach area next to the house on the sound we saw hundreds of baby crabs together sunning themselves in the afternoons. We had such a good time and will come back here again for sure. We would recommend this home.

What a great house in a spectacular location! The view from the decks were breathtaking during all parts of the day, and the easy walk to the beach was ideal. The house was well-appointed, clean and stocked with all sorts of fun toys that made our stay extra-special. We got a lot of use out of the kayak and the bikes especially. This was our first time to Oak Island, and we found some great restaurants--Thai by the Sea and Shagger Jacks on the island and Fishy Fishy in Southport were all delicious. We were blessed with some exceptional temperatures for March, but there is plenty to do and enjoy at this property regardless of the weather. The rental process could not have been easier and the owner was very accommodating. We can't wait to return to this beautiful beach and special property!

Spectacular weather for mid November! The house was clean, comfortably furnished and had a nice supply of "toys" - kayak, fishing poles, tackle and bikes. The view of the marsh was exceptional. As advertised, it was an easy walk to the beach. The owner was very gracious answering my questions and accommodating my dogs.

House works well for 2 small families. We found the house perfectly equipped and well-stocked for renters. Thoughtfully organized. Very relaxing views and setting. Won't say more because I see the house is already fully booked for summer 2011.

The weather was hot, and at the end of the day a lot of lightning !!! We watched a loggerhead turtle nest hatch and all 115 of the babies ran to the ocean. Most amazing thing ever. This house is great! We wish we were staying longer, all smiles.

Sunny and very windy . We ate a great lunch at Fishy Fishy in Southport, and went to that X-mass store. Played golf and enjoyed time with the family on the beach. We saw sand crabs down at the beach and found great sea shells. We also did cart wheels and 'attempted' to skim board.

Sunny and hot with evening showers. Thanks for the use of your nets, we caught all sorts of crab on srtings with chicken, boiled and ate some of them, We left you a pair of crab crackers in your drawer. Tried the shrimp nets and caught lots of little shrimp. Found at least 12 shark teeth in the streets, and an older shrimper told us they were 60 to 80 millio years old and are on many of the streets on the island because trucks were bringing in sand for the road work on the new sewer lines. We had dinner at Shagger Jacks, beach music, great for kids and us as well. Played putt putt one night, Had a great times. Thanks for allowing us to use your gear and household items, the old bay came in handy, we added a sand dollar to your fish bowl, Thanks smiles.

Wonderful weather, the thunderstorms were spectacular, we never needed any AC. Walked on the beach, used cast nets in the canal, Ate at the Pelican Restaurant, bought beautiful shrimp there. How nice it is to walk to the ocean beach, and then come back to the quiet of the tidal creek and marsh view, beautiful pelicans. There is a bird nesting under your house, and some spring time hornets as big as helicopters, but how much we miss the coast, after living in Charleston and Savannah,,,,, and now Charlotte, NC, the coast is so beautiful. Thank You for the use of the gear, the house was just right for us, we absolutely enjoyed our time.

We got sunburned in March, played 'sand trap' on the beach, played jack pot game, started a mud fight in the tidal canal. Jessie's shoe came off and she stepped on an oyster, needed four stiches in Southport. The doctor said "oyster wounds are notorous for infections" , but that did not happen. Went to Mexican restaurant after stiches and had a fun meal.
