Great location! Direct beach access right across the street. Very friendly host with excellent communication. Appreciate that the property is dog-friendly. A/C was in good working order and kept us cool during some very hot weather. We will return to this property!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Ott

Host profile image

We're the Otter family - 4 kids and 4 grandkids mean we LOVE family. The Otter Oasis was a dream for us that we wanted to share with you. Our Dad was a veteran of the Vietnam conflict and is living his last glimmers life at our local NC State Veteran's home for his unique care needs. It was always Dad's dream to own a vacation rental and eventually retire there but he didn't get to do that. We're doing it now for him, for us, and for you!

Why they chose this property

The Oasis is just down the road from the famous (and infamous among locals) Trailer Bar. Across the street is a great city park with a playground that leads disabled-friendly public beach access. It has everything you want and nothing you don't want. Sit on the patio enjoying views of the sound while listening to live music from the bar! Close enough to all the great things in Surf City but far enough for peace when it's time to settle-down.

What makes this property unique

Uninterrupted views of the sound. Nestled behind the foray of big commercial-owned houses, but close enough to safely walk to the beach.
