Family vacation.

We have nothing but good things to say about this home. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfortable. We loved the outdoor swing on the deck. Of course, having the option of the pool area was nice. We loved the location. We hope to be able to stay again some time in the future.

Great Place

Serendipity worked out really well for us. The place was centrally located and easy to get to.It had a really comfortable home like feel that made it easy to just hang out both in the house, on the porches and outdoors.Well furnished and kitchen had pretty much everything in terms of being able to prepare meals.Neighborhood was quiet which was really nice.We had once maintenance issue which was fixed within an hour of when we requested help. We all agreed that we would likely stay there again.

Fabulous Vacation Home

My wife, pooch, and friends had an amazing time at Serendipity. Check in was simple - House was clean - Beds were really comfy - We didn't mind putting the sheets on the beds as we knew they were clean. Location was perfect. Quiet end of road. Access to the beach as easy as can be. Walk the road or the beach to have a drink and some food? Couldn't be better. Oak Island was very dog friendly. A Short ride to Southport and even shorter ride to everything Oak Island has to offer. We will no doubt be back to Serendipity in 2026.

January getaway!

We had a super stay at this Oceanside house. Very spacious with lots of bedrooms, fantastic ocean views and we even had some unseasonably warm weather and were able to sit outside on the two decks on many occasions! Great location. Very clean. Well stocked kitchen. Beautiful swimming pool!

Ocean Front!

This property was great! Access to the beach couldn’t be better and that area of the beach was nice and wide. Views from the house were spectacular and the house was lovely. Lots of stairs so not for someone who has trouble with stairs or worried about children on stairs, but the trade off of the ocean views was worth it! We enjoyed the porches (yes, both of them) tremendously!

Great views!! No toilet paper....

The location is perfect! The amenities were good. The house was lacking. Be prepared to bring all paper goods, soaps, sponges, extra towels and trash bags. The beds were extra comfy and the house was roomy! The home is in slight disrepair (decking is warped and rotted, stairs are missing treads) the pool area needs some upkeep. The fridge leaks water and has rotted the wood floors. Dishwasher is falling apart. Most exterior door knobs are hard to operate. Tv in bedrooms are difficult to operate. We were told the pool was heated - it is NOT!

The house was clean. Beds were comfy. Pool was great. There’s no lighting around or in the pool which eliminated the option of swimming after dark. We didn’t try the hot tub. Bring your bug spray! I’ve never experienced mosquitoes and “no seeums” in numbers like these. Day or night, they would bite. Overall, a great property and I highly recommend it!

Family Vacation

This home was perfect for our family! We had 8 adults and 2 children. The layout and location were perfect!! We loved the private pool and we were pleasantly surprised with the hot tub! With 2 children it was so convenient to just walk right out of the house and be at the beach in a few short steps. We do feel that the walkways need some attention. Loose boards and screws. Some of the handrails were falling off. We just walked carefully and we were fine. We would definitely stay here again! I'm wishing we could go every year!!

Another successful spring break!

This is the second time our friend group stayed at this house for Adult Spring Break! And it was a dream as usual. The views continue to be next-level, the private entrance to the beach is so convenient and we all had plenty of space to spread out. It's our favorite house in all our years of this trip, and we hope to come back for the THIRD time in the future!

Great location - OK trip

House is located in a great area, but the house was not clean. One toilet had the clean band on the seat with toilet paper and urine in it. The house felt like it was just wiped down not cleaned. Many decking and walkway boards need to be repaired or replaced causing tripping hazard for grandparents and kids. The pool heater was broken, and we were informed 2 days before the trip, and this was the #1 reason we booked the house, very poor communication.

Great Location

This property is in a great location. The boardwalk down to the beach is in need of repairs. We were disappointed that there were not any lights in or around pool area. The pool also is not heated. When pool guy came to clean the pool, I asked about the heater. He said it would cost $100 a day to turn he heat on. Hardly any electrical outlets worked in the bathrooms. Other than those few items, it was as described. I would stay there again.

This house was great & as expected for the most part! We were disappointed that there were no umbrellas at the pool — hoping that’s something that can be added for next time as there is an umbrella stand and a table with an umbrella holder already there. Also, the bedrooms are BRIGHT. I’m not sure why beach houses never have quality curtains but sleeping past 6am was a struggle with the light. We did spot 3 roaches in the first 24 hours but it’s a beach house with lots of doors & windows so they’re bound to get in sometimes. The kitchen was pretty well stocked & we appreciated the linen service. The beds were all pretty comfortable which is a huge plus. I will say the cleaning crew didn’t do a *great* job prior to our arrival; our kids had black feet within a few hours of being there. Some of the dishes were also dirty when we went to use them but based on the check-out process, that’s the previous renters’ fault. Check-in was super easy & we liked the minimal check-out process. This house is next to condos & a public beach access so not quite as quiet/private as we expected. Overall, this is certainly somewhere we would stay again for the price! For anyone curious about the layout, the room with 2 queen beds is downstairs next to a full bathroom (they aren’t connected). Upstairs, two of the king rooms have a jack & jill style bathroom while the other two rooms share a bathroom that’s entrance is in the hallway.

Wonderful home but terrible property management company

Beautiful property, great location, nice pool. Be aware you do not get sun rise or sunset over the ocean. Property needed a thorough cleaning. No basics were provided; no tp(ok 1 roll), dishwasher detergent, dish soap, hot pads, kitchen towels and cloths, hand soap. Management company never sent check in instructions. I had to call them and was then sent the wrong unlock code. Our listing said 11:00 check out but cleaning person was knocking at our door at 930 wanting us to leave. Great Property, terrible property management company.

Oak island serendipity

Had the essentials. Loved the easy access to the beach and the pool area was delightful! Did not like having to make our own beds and provide all household products - toilet paper, paper towels, soaps, shower supplies, beach towels ect. But was made well aware to bring these things. The area is lovely and charming.

Marvelous location and fine amenities

We spent a week here, three adult siblings with their spouses and some extended family. Overall the house was great for us, and we truly enjoyed our time there. That being said, there were a couple of things that could have been better. The pool was supposed to be heated; it was not. Perhaps the heater will be repaired in the future, but as of late March 2024, the pool was not heated. Honestly, we got along fine without the pool, but it would have been nice to be able to use it. The house could have been a little cleaner when we arrived, as evidenced by some rodent droppings. We did not freak out about this, knowing that rodents sometimes occupy spaces that are not constantly used. We promptly contacted the property managers and they immediately sent cleaning people and pest control to remedy the situation. No rodents, or evidence thereof, surfaced for the rest of the week. Aside from that incident, the rest of the house was spotless and everything was quite comfortable. The kitchen worked well for our group, and it was quite well-stocked with equipment for people who want to cook, which we did. Plentiful hot water, comfortable beds and furniture, as well as gorgeous views from an absolutely marvelous location had us all talking about returning in the future to this house. It's definitely a strong option for us, because overall we had a terrific time.

Perfect Spring Break

Serendipity was a great stay! We stayed the week of Easter and the house was in the perfect location. House was just as pictured/described. The privacy fenced in pool was perfect for a couple of our windy days. The private beach access was great as well. Made it easy to go back and forth from the beach. All of the beds were very comfortable and the sun rises and sets were beautiful from the back porch. Only thing I would say you need to be aware of is that you will need to provide your own paper towels, dish and hand soap and toilet paper. The management company only provided one roll of TP for all three bathrooms. Also, one thing I would have changed is that the house sleeps 14/15 people but the living room couches only sit 5 comfortably so you can’t have a big movie night unless you pull chairs from the kitchen table. Other than that, it was a great stay and would definitely be interested in staying again.

Wonderful Stay

The house was just as described- terrific! We loved the location for going out on the beach to walk and play or needing to go somewhere on the island. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking our family meals and the large table served us well for playing games and doing jigsaw puzzles! The only negatives were: there was no recycle bin, only a trash bin; and the tv remote batteries were dead. We only got it to work after taking batteries out of one of our grandson’s toys. We didn’t watch tv in any of the bedrooms, so I’m not sure if those remotes work. Minor issues. We loved our stay!
