johns crab shack
enjoyed our stay, it was great to able to have pets with us.
the beach is beautiful and not a long walk .
we had some concerns at the beginning but Tim Bush responded quickly and no problems.
Oak Island is a wonderful place to visit , it would be nice if it could remain out of the beach goers eyes.
Great location and great size.
It is in a good location. Quick little 5 minute walk to the beach. The house is a great size too. It had all the kitchen ammenities that we needed. The outdoor shower was very convenient.
Great home for family and pets.
After 30+ years of being homeowners on Oak Island, we sold our house but didn't want to give up our island experience, so we rented John's Crab Shack for our family vacation this year. The house is larger than it appears in the pictures and with a fenced yard and easy walk to the beach, it suited our family's needs well. The cart provided made it convenient to haul everything we needed to and from the beach. Thanks Tim for sharing your home with us so that we could continue to make Oak Island memories with our kids and grandkids!
Walk to the beach!
A great location,,, plenty of room for all
Larger than the pictures
Very pleased will stay here again
Lovely little home, great location!
Stayed last week with friends. First time to Oak island. The home is very nice and well appointed. Beds were a little soft (for our liking) but comfy! Less than four blocks to the beach. Relaxing, comfortable and lovely home. Only complaints: no paper products or trash bags were available. I e mailed the owner to ask if we needed to bring them but he never replied. Luckily we decided to bring our own toilet paper! And the showers were VERY slippery. We just went to Walmart and bought some shower mats!
Lots of great restaurants with excellent seafood nearby! We really had a great time!

Additional information about rental rates
| Cleaning Fee | $105 |
| Pet Fee | $100 |
| Damage Deposit | $200 |
Our pet fee is based on length of stay. The default is set to $100 for weekly rentals. It is $50.00 for two nights, $75.00 for 3-4 nights and $100 for 5 to 7 nights. If more than one week the fee maybe more. Make sure I reset your quote if you are only staying a few nights or more than one week. We love being pet friendly as we our dog lovers and hate to leave our companions behind; especially when we have to pay where they do not want to be. You may bring up to 3 dogs. We do not allow cats because of allergies. The cleaning fee is based from 2-7 nights and maybe more beyond one week. Generally, each additional week will be additional $100 except for monthly rentals which will be quoted pending on the length of time and season.
