About this property

“The Almost” A dog friendly, beach getaway

“The Almost” is a bright and comfy house with every amenity from the kitchen to the yard. Relax and enjoy the beach, just a six minute walk. Then relax on the screened porch for dinner. The backyard is fully fenced to keep the dogs safe. Everything is here from the grill to the towels. Bring your toothbrush, shampoo, and come enjoy.

There are beach chairs, beach tent, fishing gear, boogie boards, coolers and many other items for your use in the shed. There is a private outdoor shower to get the sand off. There are usually two to five bikes in the shed. There are games, cards, guitar, and TV's in all the bedrooms and living room. All televisions have access to regular channels and streaming services. There is a wire dog kennel and baby gate for your use. There is a propane grill and charcoal grill.

Everything, and I mean everything, is a short walk away in this quiet neighborhood. There are restaurants, bars, grocery store, ice cream, liquor store, fishing pier, boat ramp, and of course THE BEACH.

There is no cleaning, pet, or linen fee. We only ask that barking outside is kept down when the pooches are outside.

Great Oak Island getaway!
We visit Southport just about every year and wanted to stay at Oak Island for once. We certainly were not disappointed. The house is very well appointed which was important for us as we did fly in and packed lightly. It was even nicer in person. Although we did not cook as much as we thought there was certainly everything you could think of in the kitchen. The house was immaculately clean! Their welcome book had a lot of great tips on restaurants and where to go. We appreciated the access to the bikes, and enjoyed taking the bikes out around the island. Although we didn’t use them, there were also beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, fishing poles, and everything you could need for a beach excursion. We really enjoyed the beachfront park and even hopped in on some Open play Pickleball - this was very close to the house . The host was very responsive as well! We would love to bring our family and our dog back to enjoy this great home. We appreciate the hosts of “The Almost” sharing their home. Thank you.

Wish we could have stayed longer!
This property was perfect for us. The home was immaculate, nicely decorated, and wonderfully equipped. The fenced in yard was perfect for our two boxers. Restaurants, the beach, and groceries were all close. The only bad thing about our stay was that we had to leave!

Perfect beach house to bring the pups!
We really loved this property wish we could have stayed longer. The yard was clean and safe to let the dogs run about. Having the bikes to ride was really nice, and a good way to get around the paying to park at the beach, it’s just a short ride up the road. Publix and other shopping very close by. Plenty of games to play when in the house for the evening. We will definitely try and stay here again if we are back in the area, we couldn’t have been happier!
