My stay

The community is very nice, and the house was very nice. But I will say there were no sheets on the beds and I was never notified to bring my own. They try to charge 35 for you to use their sheets they have in the closets.

We stayed here for our annual beach trip. House was close to everything in OKI and the beach! Kitchen was well equipped for our week long stay. We enjoyed sitting on the porch for dinner and games at night. Owners were very accommodating and quick to respond when we needed help! Would stay here again!!

Wonderful house in nice location

We had two families ( four adults, two 3 year olds and a baby) in the house and it was a perfect fit. The house is well appointed, had anything kitchen related we could have needed, clean, and in a quiet area of the island. The drive to beach access is short as are restaurants and Food Lion. We would definitely stay again.

Relaxing beach getaway

W have had such a wonderful experience. The hosts were easy to communicate with both before and during our trip. It's a beautiful home, very clean and is just as advertised on the site. It has a huge wraparound porch where we spent a lot of our time and the outdoor fans kept it comfortable even in the heat. Our first time using vrbo and we are very happy we did.

Delightful Stay

Jen’s house on Oak Island is delightful. Wonderful use of the space. Easy quick drive to the 46th street parking and beach access. The beach is full of families and is very dog friendly. The house is also close to a small butterfly garden and access to a he intercostal byway. We had a small electrical problem and Jen responded and took care of it quickly. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Jen & Ken

Host profile image
We are a family of 6 that bought this home to spend more quality time as a family. We love the warm & friendly atmosphere of Oak Island and enjoy spending time at the beach and eating at our favorite beach places like Pirates Deck, Pepperoni Grill, Lazy Turtle, and Oak Island Restaurant. After a fun day at the beach, we love the outdoor shower in the fenced-in back yard. Then we retreat to our screened in porch and listen to music by candlelight. We hope your family enjoys their ISLAND TIME here as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for a quiet get-away with family & friends, Oak Island is the beach for you! Just a 10 minute drive to Southport, Holden Beach, & the Ferry to Bald Head Island. Check out Wilmington for additional activities if you want some excursions as well.

What makes this property unique

You'll especially love the new kitchen upgraded with granite and new cabinets. The kitchen comes fully stocked with all of your spices, crock pot, dishes, pans, and cook ware. Bedrooms have cleaned comforters, extra pillows, and new comfy beds with a smart tv in one of the extra bedrooms. Living Room with new Smart HD TV so you can watch all your favorite shows. Walk to the pier behind the home to watch the sunset or drive down the end of island (the pointe) to look at all the pretty beach homes. Take a day trip to the aquarium or make your way over to Southport where several movies were filmed and enjoy dinner on the pier at Fishy Fishy. Make yourself at home during your vacation get-away!
