Wonder beach cottage

The cottage was just right for a relaxing getaway. We loved sipping coffee and enjoying the gentle breeze, while swinging on the porch swing. Short drive to the public beaches and the pier. The owners were super nice and quick to respond to my questions. Definitely plan to stay again.

This house was everything it said it was a more. Very quiet location. Easy walk to the beach. We had a great time relaxing and reflecting. The hosts are amazing and have thought of everything to make the house a home away from home.

Super cute and good location!

The property had been beautifully renovated and very clean. About a 12-15 min walk to the beach, but definitely doable. It’s also close to the downtown, but make sure you make dinner reservations ahead of time if you go out. Nice, kid-friendly place and comfortable beds. Would recommend staying here anytime you’re in Oak Island!

Perfect place to stay on oak island

We came down for our mothers celebration of life, not the happiest reason for a beach trip but Michael made the reservation and check in process trouble free. The cottage is adorable, impeccably clean, beautifully decorated and furnished with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The area is super convenient to local restaurants and except for a good bit of tropical storm delays, we had a very nice stay. Michael was thoughful, compassionate and kind.

Weekend Getaway

We enjoyed staying at this cute house. It was perfect for our family. If I could give 10 stars for communication from the property owners I would. They kept us informed during our stay as a tropical storm was approaching. We appreciate your hospitality and kindness. Thank you for sharing your home.

Great Little Place on Oak Island

We recently stayed with our 2 children (7 and 4). The space was cozy, well decorated, clean, and adequately stocked for what we needed. We loved how quiet the space was and the outdoor shower was an added bonus after those days at the beach! Communication with the owners was easy and quick and we felt very comfortable in the space and well taken care of. We would definitely rent this property again!

Great experience!

We loved this property! It's cozy, clean, cute , comfortable! They had everything we needed for our Father's Day Getaway! I could go on and on about this property but there's not enough space. The host are quick to respond and very helpful about the events on the island! We can't wait to book another stay at their place!
