Everything was good. There just a few things. All of the TV's were smart TV's and we didn't know how to get the normal TV stations. Also, the people before us never took out the trash can so it was very full when we set it out. Another then those little things the place was nice and peaceful

I've been to many places on vacation. I have to say this one by far was the best place I've ever stayed! All of the rooms are decorated so beautifully. Everything is so clean! It is a very quiet neighborhood and just minutes to the beautiful Caswell beach. We stayed for a week and wish we could have made it a month. And our favorite part was we were able to bring our German Shepherd with us. The host Elizabeth was so kind and extremely helpful. If you had any questions. I would recommend anyone whether you're single to a whole family. Definitely stay here. And one of the other many things I love about Oak Island was everything is just miles away from where you are from restaurants to stores etc... We will definitely be back. We also loved the fenced in yard for our dog. Ide give it a 10-star rating and you can't beat the price for such a beautiful home!

We had a great stay! The listing was exactly as described — comfortable, tidy, and well-stocked. The neighborhood was quiet, and communication with the host was prompt and helpful. The kitchen was even better equipped than expected, which made meals really easy to prepare. We didn’t bring pets, but appreciated that the home provided sofa covers and two crates for those who do. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable experience. We’d happily stay here again!

We were honored that you chose to share our happy place and found the quiet refreshing. With a half mile to beach access and only one mile to the pier, a leisurely walk or quick drive provides easy access. Our wonderful neighbors are another plus.
