About the host

Hosted by Amy Lewis

Host profile image
I am a full time human resource professional working to end hunger! My husband and I live in Raleigh NC and have four children and our adopted dog Boots who is the inspiration for our "Ruff Life" beach cottage.

Why they chose this property

We are North Carolinians and have visited about every beach along the NC, SC, and Georgia coast and it all pales in comparison to Oak Island, NC. It's by far our favorite! Its southward facing and wide beach provide gorgeous views, soft sand and lots of room to spread out. Everyone is so nice here and we find it very family, dog and turtle friendly! We are so blessed and grateful to have the opportunity to own a place at the beach and share it with friends and family. It's our hope that our guests get to enjoy this little slice of heaven and experience a "Ruff Life" you'll never want to leave!

What makes this property unique

Our location is perfect! just across the street from beach access, ocean views from inside and outside. No need to drive to the beach, just walk steps across the street. Lots of local restaurants and great grocery stores nearby. Music in the park! you couldn't ask for more.
