Perfect beach house vacation! The dunes are absolutely beautiful and the beach access was one house away making it so simple to enjoy the water, take a walk or just sit and let yourself enjoy the ocean’s tranquil sounds. The house itself is exactly as described in the description and photo’s. It was very clean, well appointed and had everything we could ask for including beach towels! The deck is huge and morning coffee and evening cocktails were just meant to be had out here. It was hot when we were there so we didn’t use it much during the day but early morning and early evening were perfection!

Beautiful view of the dunes and ocean, and the beach is steps away. The house itself was spotless, bright, and tastefully decorated. The house had a well-appointed kitchen and nice extra touches like snacks, coffee pods, and board games. We spent a lot of time watching the waves from the comfortable chairs on the large deck, and loved the views from the primary bedroom and living room as well. We appreciated the outdoor shower. We were too busy watching sea turtle nests to watch TV, but there were at least two. This house could comfortably sleep six or seven. Communication with the host was excellent.

Communication with host was great. First time using VRBO and we got thru it easily. House was a small cottage on the beach which is just what we were looking for. Back deck looking at the ocean was great. Dog had a great time on beach and walking thru local neighborhood

House was nice, beds were comfortable, the view was great, and the close access to the beach was awesome. Only issues were the door to the master bath didn't close and there was only 1 accessible closet (the other 3 closets were locked for owner use only).

We have vacationed in Oak Island for 15 years, this is absolutely the nicest place we have stayed. It is very well maintained, very clean and great amenities. The host was amazing and responded and solved any issues we had immediately.

Pros: great front porch with ocean views, extremely close to a beach access, good space for parking, excellent communication with host.Cons: cooling system simply could not keep up with the heat. We ultimately could not get the front half of the house cooler than 73 degrees and it was uncomfortable at times. The host was very helpful and we even had someone come out and look at the system, but we thought it was resolved a few times only for it to get really hot again.We also wanted to cook in the kitchen a few nights but with it being so hot, we didn’t want to make it hotter. It also wasn’t the best equip kitchen. This varies from house to house, but it was on the lower end of recent stays.Laundry is also down in the very bottom of the house and you have to walk through a bunch of sand to get there. Overall, this is a cute house for a one or two night stay, but for some of the reasons listed above, I don’t know that we’d do an extended stay again. We’d opt for a slightly higher price tag for a bigger kitchen, accessible laundry, and better cooling system.

Cute little house by the sea. We had a great time watching Mother Nature from the front deck. Saw hump back whales jumping full body out of the water. Amazing!!! Many dolphins and more birds than I could count. The cute little anoles on the porch wagging their heads and little red beards was a delight. The house was impeccably clean and had everything we needed. First time ever renting where soaps and toiletries included. It was great. The town is adorable the people are friendly. The kitchen had everything we needed including a k cup brewer. I would definitely rent this house again. The washer and dryer worked great. The host was easy to contact although we had zero problems and did not need her for anything. It was perfect.

We went for a short anniversary weekend. It was just perfect. The location was great. Can’t beat oceanfront views. House was well equipped. Comfortable seating and bedroom sets. This is a cozy home! It’s on the smaller side so it would be best for a small family or just a couple staying in.
