This was a very nice little place and very convenient to everything at oak island including the beach. The owners have a place right next door and was super friendly and told me if I had any issues to let him know. We definitely plan on staying here again in the future.
We have always loved Oak Island. The Reef Runner was exactly what we were looking for to take our boat and not break the bank. We were close to the boat ramp and walking distance to the beach. The home had everything we needed. I was thrilled to find a countertop ice maker as I may have a slight addiction to ice lol. The sofa was extremely comfortable. The home was neat and clean. Jana was very responsive and helpful. We are already booked for another trip in July and I am excited to not be packing my ice maker for that trip! :) Thank you, Jana!
We just love the couple that rents this lovely place. So beautifully decorated and beautifully laid out. We are from WV and have rented this place for the 3rd year we will come back again. Thanks for opening your home to us, The Danley Bunch

My family and I had a great vacation time! The weather was perfect and the house is super cute!! Very easy access to the beach!!
We loved it!! Thank you!!
Our stay was one of the best places ever that we have stayed. Our host was super nice and answered any questions I had. The place was really clean and great and we will be coming back. The only thing that sucked is that it rained all Memorial weekend 2023.

Enjoyable girls' weekend at the beach
My family enjoyed our stay at the Reef Runner. It was just as described--within walking distance to beach and close to grocery store. Owner was very responsive to any contact and provided needed information to access the property/amenities. My sister has already asked when we can go back!
The Reef Runner was very clean! A adorable quiet little beach house. The shade of the trees keep our truck cool. The furniture and beds was very comfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked. The beds & towels was ready to use. Hidden Gem! Thank you!
Spacious and clean. There is beach gear, which is a nice option. Not too far from the beach.
Great location if you are wanting to stay in Oak Island or go to Southport.
We were visiting for a workation (we do landscaping). The space was perfect for what we needed. It is close enough to everything and walking to the beach. The kitchen was well equipped and laundry room.
It was a pleasure to meet our host. Super sweet people! We will stay again.

Inside was VERY clean and comfortable. Outside was not very appealing. It was nice that it was a short walk to beach and there were beach chairs in shed that we could use. The trailer was very clean, the bed was very comfortable. Was nice to have the newer washer/dryer to use.
Would recommend a facelift to the outside of trailer and landscape.

Liked: Location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Not what expected
The inside was fine for our brief stay , but never in the listing was it stated that this was a mobile home. That did make a difference. It was drafty and had a smell of cat pee when we opened it. Also , the request we bring our own linen and towels was totally not expected either. If this was a beach stay thing might have been alright. We made it work , but not what we expected or felt we paid for. I think it needs to be very clear in the listing that location is great, but it is an older mobile home.
Comfortable place in quiet neighborhood that is convenient to the beach, shops and restaurants. Beach is less than ten minutes walk. Nicely furnished with comfortable beds. Would recommend. Thanks for the nice stay!
This trip was in memory of my son who loved this place and I've never been and I must say I loved it here your place was so sweet relaxing felt at home. I may be looking for a beach house of my own there just because of your place ty again hope to see u in the future
