This home is beautiful. It is private, well maintained and the view is absolutely stunning. Our host communicated with us to make sure our stay was everything we wanted. Only criticism is the time went to fast no one wanted to leave. Recommended 10 out of 10

Property is on the quiet, more residential side of Oak Island — perfect for getting away for a few days. Photos give a good idea of what the house looks like but still do not do the house justice for how spacious it is. Feels like a home and not a rental-like stay.Owner is fantastic at communication and clarity — everything you need to know about the home and the area is provided.Definitely on our favorite stay list!

Lisa’s home (it’s a home not a beach cottage) was the perfect fit for our week. The backyard is the star attraction. Beds and couches were comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans… as is garage with bikes and kayaks. Lots of little nooks and spaces to relax/read/work if you have the time. Lovely visit.

This is one of the best homes we have rented. Very well stocked with everything we could want or need! The pictures do not do it justice. Very clean. The host was extremely responsive - even having a new coffee maker delivered early in the morning when there was a glitch with the existing coffee maker. Cannot wait to book again!

Wonderful vacation home

We really enjoyed our recent stay. This is a beautiful home and wonderfully manicured lawn with palms, ferns and more. It’s got a beautiful feeling of being secluded while being close to everything OKI has to offer. The host was wonderful to communicate with. Highly recommend this home.
