We had such a great time at this Oak Island beach house! The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the location couldn’t have been better. Having access to rent the golf cart to cruise around in was such a fun bonus. The owners really thought of everything—even down to extra dog bowls and a crate, which made it so easy for us to bring our pup along and the beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and we’d definitely stay here again!

Family Get Away/Birthday Celebration

Thank you so much for opening up your home to my children and I and all our fluffy babies! We all had a wonderful trip with family time and a birthday celebration. The ocean and sand is always very relaxing. And we were so thankful you allowed pets so the whole family could come. Hopefully we can return soon!

Highly recommend Island life

Great location, wonderful hosts, the cleanliness had some issues but I let the hosts know since it is a company they use for the rental. They are addressing the issue, responded fast to my concerns and made it right. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it. Close to shopping and not far from beach.

Cute place nice neighbors

We had a great time. Neighbors were pretty cool and their dog was very friendly. Definitely liked the fenced in yard but the big guy can be intimidating if your dog gets spooked easily. Owners were responsive and property was ready when we arrived. Although the cleaning crew didnt do the greatest job thats not on the owner.

Short visit to Oak Island and Southport

My husband and I enjoyed our brief visit to the Oak Island and Southport area---even though the weather did not cooperate. However, this cute and cozy beach cottage made up for the bad weather. We found it clean and inviting and well equipped. The fenced back yard was a plus for our 2 fur babies. The owner, Steve, was so helpful when we could not operate the TV---we are untechy---and sent over the manager to get it all set up. Fortunately the weather did clear enough for us to explore a bit. We do want to return and hopefully will be able to stay in this great house again.

Cescape is Our Happy Place

This was our second experience staying at Cescape. Steve is an amazing host and very attentive. The house is very comfortable and provides everything you need. The location is close to the beach, tons of restaurants, grocery stores and cute shops. The neighborhood is quiet with stunning houses everywhere. I enjoyed taking long walks in the neighborhood everyday morning especially at the end of the street by the Inner Coastal. The property has the perfect backyard for your fur babies with a fence and also a kennel. We rented Steve’s golf cart again and had a blast with it. My family and 2 dogs had a perfect Spring break once again and plan on returning.

Excellent week

We had a wonderful week and we highly recommend renting the golf cart as well. We come every summer from WI and normally bring a ton of sand back in our vehicle, this is the cleanest our truck has been because we used the golf cart to go back and forth to the beach. It was perfect. My dog loved the great dane next store - his name is Onyx and is the sweetest dog. Both neighbors were very friendly. Steve responds so quickly and worked with us regarding a slightly earlier check in time, which worked out great from us. We had just spent a week in Wilmington and were coming directly to Oak Island. Thank you again Steve for everything. The photos look just like the property. We loved the location and easy beach access.
