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!

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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
Best family beach trip ever! The house was perfect for our family of 5 adults and two teens. Tons of indoor and outdoor space to spread out and also to come together for games and meals. The backyard (with fire pit) is fully fenced for pets and thoughtfully gated so pets can be outside and explore. All beds were very comfortable, kitchen perfectly equipped with all you need to prepare any meal. The host also thoughtfully provided dog bowls, dog gates and crates. The house is a short walk to the beach and grocery. Several lunch and breakfast spots are also walkable. We especially appreciated the comfortable beach chairs and cart that were made available for guests. Our family loved sitting on the beach, walking in this quiet neighborhood, shelling at the Point and fishing at the pier. Very importantly and much appreciated, the host was very quick to respond to all of my questions. I'm sure I've forgotten something but I highly recommend this house. Thank you Evelyn!
