You MUST pick up after your dog.
Please note for everyone’s safety, we have installed exterior only cameras at the deck/driveway and door. Linens are provided by a third party and will arrive individually wrapped for sanitary reasons, beds will not be made.
Oak Island has so much to offer! the lighthouse is one of the few in NC, 2 piers, pier fishing, rentals for water activities such as paddle boarding, kayak rentals or kayak tours. If you are here for more than a few days, a trip to Southport is a must! and a trip to Bald Head Island via the ferry is well worth it! You'll love it!

Everything was very clean and the the owners were very helpful when needed! The house was in a great location and not a far walk from the beach at all. We had a phenomenal time staying here!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The inside was nice. There were lots of pots and pans and kitchen stuff in really good condition. The outside was a little unkept and left a lot to be desired.
This home was perfect for our first Oak Island family vacation. Short walk to the beach, nature center, playground, and grocery store. Everyone, including the pups, had a great visit! Thank you, Evelyn, for sharing your home.
We had such a nice experience staying at Tranquil Harbor.
The house is lovely, with plenty of room and beautiful decor! The beds were very comfortable and the street was very quiet. The house and kitchen had everything we needed! We hope to stay again in October this year!
Excellent location, extremely clean and well maintained.Had an enjoyable week of beach fun on Oak Island. With such a close location we were able to walk back mid-day and then return to the beach later. The home is a great space with awesome front deack, screened in porch and large fenced back yard. Ample space for everyone to spread out and just hang out. 5-star property!
First time renting a house on oak island,we loved the idea of close to the beach and affordable. We loved the house.we look forward to doing this again next year
This was a dream house for our family - there was so much space that we never felt like we were on top of each other, but there were plenty of spaces for us to all be together too. The distance from the beach was ideal, and it’s close to everything you need on the island. Check in, check out, and communication throughout were a breeze! This quickly became one of our favorite stays.
After staying last summer, we were so excited to return and feel at home. We noticed a few updates, which were terrific, and we had everything we needed: well-stocked kitchen, awesome location, beach chairs & wagon for the farmer's market. Loved it!
We had a wonderful time. The house is in a great location and is only a short walk to the beach or ice cream. The only downside is the outdoor shower gives no privacy what so ever besides the outdoor shower this is a wonderful home for a large or small family.
Plenty of room to enjoy family but also to have private space. Cute neighborhood and an easy walk to the beach. We enjoyed the screened in porch while it rained, and the big deck in the sunshine. Would recommend to anyone!
The house was clean and appropriately stocked. Communication with the host was prompt. The house was close to the beach and centrally located to local restaurants and activities. It was perfect for us and our family. Loved that we could have our dogs with us. Would highly recommend this home!
This home was perfect for our family to get together to celebrate a late Christmas and bring in the New Year. The fire pit was a hit with our granddaughter. Very convenient to shopping and restaurants.
This was the perfect place for a quick last minute getaway!! The property is exactly as pictured and described. The owner was quick with responses to any and all questions. The house was well stocked with all things needed inside as well as for the beach.
Wonderful home in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to everything needed. The grass could have used a trim, but once inside it was quickly forgotten, because this home is spotless! By far the cleanest I have ever stayed in. I especially enjoyed the screened in porch. Thank you Evelyn!
We couldn't have been happier with our stay. The house was clean and the beds and pillows were comfortable. The owner responded quickly to any questions. The location is great with the beach 3 blocks away and groceries, restaurants, ice cream, etc. all within a short walk. The public park and pier along the intercostal is at the end of the street. Hope to stay here next summer.
We had three families including three generations together for a birthday celebration. What a wonderful place to stay! Our hostess was in touch to ensure we had everything we needed. The house was very clean and in terrific shape. A great location to walk to the sound in one direction and to the beach in the other. I highly recommend this place when you have a lot of people. Large enough for everyone to have their own space but small enough to foster family togetherness.
My family visited Oak Island recently for the first time. I was in town to run the marathon. We had a party of 6, and I couldn’t have picked a better house to stay for the weekend. I also loved that she welcomed pets as we also brought our Golden Retriever Harley. The house was clean, comfortable, convenient, and cost effective. The house is an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, groceries, and to the start/finish of the race.. Evelyn was very responsive to our needs and offered both an early check in and late checkout.
