Love this place. We feel like the location is perfect. It is very convenient to get out and about. The beach is practically right around the corner. The Wooden Whale itself is just ideal. Looking forward to coming back another summer.
This beautiful home has set the bar HIGH!! This is the cleanest rental we've ever had! The layout is wonderful and decorated perfectly. We had a great, rainy weekend. The hosts have thought of everything.
Another great stay at the Wooden Whale. The property managers stayed in touch with us regarding tropical weather before our stay. The property is situated near everything OKI has to offer. We will be returning.
We stayed here 4 years ago and absolutely had to get back! The house is great, the backyard is the perfect spot for relaxing in the evening, and the hosts are super responsive. A short walk to the beach makes it the perfect location. Still remains our favorite place is Oak Islans!
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Wooden Whale. The house was just perfect for us. Location was a bonus. Looking forward to next year at Oak Island and staying here if it’s available.

Another great year at OKI and at the Wooden Whale. Location of the Wooden Whale is very convenient to the ocean. House is furnished with all that you need for a week away including games, wifi & tv. We rented our linens to cut down on packing. Looking forward to next year’s trip.
David and Jeff are the best host! Great communication and perfect attention to detail. The house was absolutely amazing! Cutest decor and so inviting. They have thought of everything you will need to make your trip feel like a home away from home. Felt very safe there being there for a girls trip. Love the attention to every little detail, we have definitely found our favorite place on the island!
