Well appointed property in a great location! The hosts were very prompt with all communication, and descriptions were spot on for the house and amenities.The house provided everything you could possibly need. We loved the screened porch, and the ample parking came in handy for our needs of three cars and a golf cart.High recommend!

The house is clean, spacious and comfortable. It is a combination of space to eat and hang out together with spaces to retreat for a little solitude. The outside shower with hot water helps keep the sandy fun outside, too. We had a wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our stay! Everything was as described and really so much better in person! There’s plenty of space for the whole family. The house is clean! I really liked that light switches and the cabinets were labeled there was no guessing! Beds are comfy with nice soft linens. The screened in porch was the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. The hosts were great and very detailed communication so we knew exactly what to expect. The location is great and really easy to get anywhere you need to go. Nice quiet street away from traffic. We will definitely keep this home on our list for our next trip to Oak Island. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family!

This was the best experience I've had renting a home for vacation. The host was super communicative and welcoming. The home was spacious, clean, and included almost everything someone could think of to take to the beach. All amenities were provided. Would definitely rent this again if traveling to Oak Island, NC.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home! The layout was perfect, well appointed kitchen, having sheets and towels provided was so convenient! The upstairs was just what we needed for the kiddos for them to have their own space and to keep them entertained during the rain storm. We made wonderful memories

We celebrated Thanksgiving with our large multigenerational family. We had plenty of room to cook, play and enjoy being together. Our only regret is that it was too cold to enjoy the beautiful screened in back porch!
