Great stay!

The home was very well equipped and the owners were great regarding communication. The beach is right across the street and the house has everything you need- plenty of space for a large group to spread out. We love the covered picnic table area for group dinners.

Great house and owners

What a great house and location! The owners were helpful and provided everything you could want. It has a beautiful beach view in front and a park with ball field, playground, and splash pad for the kids. Although there are two kitchens, our group of thirteen only used the one on the top floor. Would highly recommended this property.

Perfect house and location for 16 family members

We are three generations ranging in age from 5 to 77. We especially enjoyed the beach house decks and the proximity to the beach. There was more than enough room to spread out yet be together for fun times and conversation. Also, the grandchildren loved the elevator.

Perfect home for making memories!

This property was PERFECTLY equipped for making memories; it had everything that we needed to accommodate our children and grandchildren. The location was perfect (across the street from a beach access and a lovely public park directly behind with a mini water park for the little kids). The amenities on the property were great (fully equipped kitchen, grill, games, beach equipment, bicycles, etc.). And the host was easily accessible and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property.

Great Family Vacation

This home was amazing; clean, spacious, beautiful. The views are amazing. We had a wonderful time gathering with a large group, in many areas of the home, inside and out. Each family had their own space. The attention to detail in this home was top notch. The location is terrific for both elderly, who can’t get to the beach daily, and children with the field, park and splash pad steps away. Would definitely recommend this location or stay there again!!

Wonderful vacation!

We had the most wonderful week at Steps Away! It is literally steps away from everything you need. The location couldn’t be more perfect with the beach directly across, Middleton Park directly behind(with playground, splash pad, ball field and Friday night concert)and Publix a block away! It was perfect for our family that ranged in age from 95 to 8 months! The house is also well equipped with everything needed! It truly was a wonderful vacation week. We can’t wait to return!

Week at the beach

Spent a week with my brothers, spouses, parents and our kids (3 generations (teens to 80+). House is exactly as listed. Great location (beautiful ocean views and an access directly across the street), nicely decorated, great shape and extremely well stocked with anything you could ever need and more. Elevator was very helpful for loading / unloading and those who struggle with stairs.

3 generation vacation

Great house with a lot of space for our big family vacation. Only steps from the beach that were made easy with two big beach carts. The beach chairs, umbrellas and toys were in great condition. Double kitchens and washer/dryer were a plus for everyone to have their space. The location was convenient with shopping nearby but out of sight from the home. Had the pleasure of meeting the host and the owners who are wonderful people that are very friendly and responded within minutes to any questions. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a laid back beach vacation.

Stunning Home Away From Home

Pictures do not do this property justice. This was a beautiful, comfy, and spacious property. My family and I met to celebrate Thanksgiving and we couldn’t have asked for more. The property was very clean and stocked with everything needed for a vacation filled with fun. Nancy is amazing, kind, and very personable. She was very easy to reach and immediately responsive to my messages. My family and I had never visited Oak Island prior to this trip, but we most definitely will return and wouldn’t stay in any other place.
