Great place for a quick getaway

We had everything we needed and the hosts were very responsive. Some extra conveniences would be nice but it's the beach after all! The back porch was a wonderful space and made the house very functional for our whole family. Access to the beach was very easy with a short walk and everything on Oak Island was just a small distance away. We did not use the bikes but they were there and ready and looked like they would have been fun to use. Highly recommended if you like simplicity and don't need a lot of space.

Tranquil stay

Perfect size and clean. Loved the location and amenities. Couch was amazingly comfortable! Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to family/friends looking for a quiet place to stay with unique dining just down the street. Super close to the beach as well for those looking for long walks in the sand or kids who want to play on a quiet safe beach.

About the host

Hosted by Joe Bafia

Host profile image
We live in Raleigh and want a place for us to come and relax at during our free time. We love to travel which has led us to purchasing homes in the mountains, the beach, and even California.

Why they chose this property

This property is in the cozy town of Oak Island and is the perfect place to wind down. Just a short walk to the beach and pier this house is amazing for someone who wants to be close to the water but doesn't need a mansion and wants to avoid condos.
