Fantastic stay. The hosts were kind, responsive, and easier to reach than some of my own family members. You can hear the ocean from the front porch, which was an added soothing bonus. Considered sleeping out there with the squirrels. The only down-side was the dryer, which sounded mildly dramatic as it did its job, but it worked and we were appreciative.Would 100% stay again. Already looking forward to it. Don’t overthink this property, people, just book it. You will be glad you did!

Quiet and Wonderful Oasis

A great place to getaway and relax. Far enough away from the popular tourist attractions but easily accessible by golf cart/car. The ride to the beach was super convenient as well. Very clean place and comfortable. The owners are very approachable and willing to help if anything comes up.Truly enjoyed our stay.

The owner was so kind. We loved our stay. The home was comfy and the front porch was great for coffee in the am. We also rented his cart and it was the best way to get around the island. We plan to go back in October for fishing. Highly recommend.

Restful vacation

We enjoyed our week at Lottie’s place! It was a perfect location and lovely home. The available beach supplies in the shed and the outdoor shower to use to get off all the sand were wonderfully helpful! We appreciate the host’s kindness and quick replies as well! Thanks again! We would definitely stay here again :)

Great vacation home

We had a great stay at this property. Location was great, in a quiet area, and a short distance to the beach. We loved the accessibility of groceries/restaurants close by. We had two complaints/things of interest upon arrival but contacted Phil and he was quick to address/help us through it. Overall great stay and enjoyed the area. Would visit Oak Island and stay here again. Thanks!

Lovely stay

We enjoyed our time at Lottie’s Place. The location is ideal and we enjoyed our walks to the beach, the playground and the nature park (on the intercostal). Our dogs loved being included in these activities and we are always appreciative when they can join us on vacation. Phil was excellent at communicating and checking in and out was a breeze. The house has wonderful natural light and a fun, beach vibe.

Perfect vacay stay

Definitely a hidden gem that was well worth the stay. Away from the hustle, but close enough to all. The house was very family friendly. I believe we spent as much time sitting outside as inside, even in the heat of the day. Our girls loved having the bikes to ride. So glad we had the opportunity to stay here!!

Cozy beach bungalow on Oak Island

We had a fantastic vacation at this cozy and quaint beach bungalow very close to the intercoastal waterway on Oak Island. Was able to launch my boat six blocks away. Very convenient access to everything in the area. This old house from the late sixties was very nostalgic and all the updates to the interior was very well done ... comfortable, clean and relaxing. Will definitely go back again.

Vacation for the Walk

We like the location of the home. It is close to everything on the island. The house is nicely decorated and match the pics. It was handy having the high speed internet for work and the tv selections for the family. The owners were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. We loved the island and the beautiful weather.

Perfect getaway

This is a great little cottage for couples or small families. The open floor plan makes it feel spacious and the yard in the back is great for dogs with no worries about the road. The neighbors we met were very friendly. We enjoyed the fire pit as well. The home owners are wonderful to work with. We will return frequently.

My husband and I wanted to get away for the holiday weekend. Lottie’s place was quaint and comfortable. We were close to the nature trail, intracoastal waterway and a few blocks from Publix. We did not need to contact Phil as his instructions were concise and complete. We enjoyed our stay!

June stay

The house is lovely. The front porch is nice. I appreciated the long hose when it came to washing off the dogs. There isn’t space to set things down in the bedrooms and only a tiny bit of drawer. The backyard needs a bit of work.

Comfortable stay!

Tranquil Harbor is a very comfortable cottage on a quiet neighborhood street. Walk 2 houses north for lovely views of the Intracoastal Waterway. The beach is a straight shot south, less than a mile. We walked to dinner the first night, just a half mile down the street. The cottage was clean and comfortable and more than roomy enough for the 2 of us and our dog. Two spacious bedrooms, a large common room, a porch in front and a patio in the rear, and even a washer/dryer. Linens were provided, including lovely thick towels, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The owner was very helpful and provided all the information we needed in a timely manner.

Perfect Beach House!

This was our first time staying at Lottie’s Place but we seriously hope it won’t be our last! The house itself is pretty unique, the sliding doors both in front and back let the sunshine flow through to brighten up every day. The colors used and the decor makes it a perfect beach house. The attention to details in the home accents and the personal touches included make you feel right at home. Accessories for sunny days are provided as well as for rainy days or evenings indoors. With the two bedrooms it is perfect for a small group of friends or family and the pull out couch adds an extra sleeping accommodations if needed. We have been vacationing on Oak Island for 17 years and this is clearly one of our favorite homes. The neighbors are great, very friendly and helpful and were a pleasure. The firepit was a nice touch and the setting very serene. The owners were easy to work with and very accomodating. We look forward to our next trip
