Exactly what I needed

This place was affordable, clean, and within walking distance of the beach. Easy to get into and easy check in/check out. It checked all of my boxes and I had a very relaxing stay.

Amazing family beach house

Chris was a great host! He was very responsive and made sure that we were having a great time at the beach. The house felt very cozy, the rooms were spacious and clean. The kitchen had as many appliances you can imagine. The view from the kitchen/main living room was very nice, we even saw dolphins!!! We enjoyed sitting in one of the balconies and enjoyed the sunset. Kids swam endlessly in the pool :)

Great place to stay

We loved this place. It was clean when we arrived, the kitchen was stocked wel with everything you’d need, the location was great and quiet, and the layout of the house made it feel very spacious. Not really anything bad to say. The beach supplies came in handy for sure, although both umbrellas were broken, but not a big deal. Our 2 small kids loved the twin beds in the bedroom and the bed was very comfy. Would love to stay again in the future.

Excellent inner coastal

All was just great. Peaceful! Will rent again. However, recommend checking with host when landscapers are coming, so you can move your car out of the way!

great house!

We loved staying at this property due to short walk to the beach, outdoor shower, and salt water pool. It was very clean and we had everything we needed, including beach chairs and a cart.

First time to Oak Island

We had a very nice stay at our rental. It was exactly like the pictures. It was nice to have 4 beach chairs and corn hole to use. The house had numerous items to help you with your stay- hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap, tissues, tp, etc. The owner was very accomodating to our needs. The dogs loved the fenced in backyard.

Vacation

Bright, clean, cheerful house. Plenty of room to spread out. Thoughtfully planned supplies like dryer sheets, plenty of toilet paper and soap. Quality sheets, towels and blankets. Good appliances. It’s a well kept house and a great setting for a relaxing family vacation.
