Property was very clean upon arrival and had all of the necessities of home. We appreciated the clean linens/towels sealed in plastic and the thoughtful welcome basket with starter items. A plus was having a fenced in yard for the fur babies. Neighbors were nice and surrounding area was quiet and safe. Super close to all of the restaurants and grocery stores on the island. Also appreciated the communication from the owner. Had a lovely trip for New Years! Thank you!

We had such a great time at this Oak Island beach house! The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the location couldn’t have been better. Having access to rent the golf cart to cruise around in was such a fun bonus. The owners really thought of everything—even down to extra dog bowls and a crate, which made it so easy for us to bring our pup along and the beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and we’d definitely stay here again!
