I can't say enough good things about this property. The home was lovely, fully stocked with anything you might need. Communication with our host was helpful and prompt. Our dog loved the fenced in backyard and being able to hang out with us on the deck. Furniture was very comfortable, as were the beds. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting oak island.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The property is clean, comfortable, nicely maintained and well equipped. Located just a short walk away from the beach. We enjoyed fishing, lots of shelling and even a free concert at the park just a few blocks away. The neighborhood is quiet. The beach was not overly crowded. There are beach access points with pay parking every block or so. Also close by is a skate park, slash pad/ playground, fishing pier, 2 fresh seafood shops, huge candy store w/arcade, several ice cream shops, restaurants/bars with live music, dollar general, grocery store and souvenir shops. Plenty to keep you entertained!

We had a great time with our 3 kids at Oak Island. Gail was very responsive and the house was even nicer in person than in the pictures. It was well stocked in the kitchen with dishes, storage containers, quality cookware and utensils, etc. There are small appliances as well. We didn't use most of it, but it was nice to know it was available. The fenced in yard is huge and the beach was only a few minutes away (a few minutes while lugging beach chairs, tent and toys, with kids 9 yr, 6 yr and 7 mo). We liked being off the main road since our 9 & 6 yr old loved playing in the rock driveway, and we sat on the front porch often (ate most meals on the porch because it was comfortable and functional). We would stay here again if we wanted to go to OKI.

This place was exactly what we were looking for! There was nothing fancy about it, but that didn’t bother us in the slightest. The house was clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals during our stay (including a crockpot). We absolutely loved the outdoor shower, and there were even a few nice beach chairs available for us to use.The walk to the beach was super quick and easy, and our family had an absolute blast.One thing to note is that you’ll need to bring your own sheets and towels. This wasn’t a problem for us—we just didn’t realize it when we first booked. Thankfully, our host reminded us before our trip, which we really appreciated. Just be aware of that when booking.

We loved our stay! The house met all our needs for our fur pup and family of six. Loved the beach decor and everything was very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked and very nice cookware to use. The beds slept wonderfully and the added bathroom on the two queen bedroom was a great addition! The walk to the beach was very short and nights out on the front porch were quiet and relaxing. The street is not busy and my sons and I enjoyed a run down the street every evening. Our dog was lucky to have a large fenced in backyard during our stay! It was such a great added bonus! Beach gear was supplied and even a wagon to help haul things to the beach. The outdoor shower was great with privacy and hot water! The kids loved playing Cornhole and we made s’mores at the charcoal grill. Communication was fantastic and check-in was easy and provided earlier than we expected. Could not ask for better hosts and they answered all our questions quickly and friendly. We would love to stay again. Our first trip to Oak Island was perfect! I personally loved the less crowded beach and family friendly atmosphere. We found many beautiful shells on the beach every day. Oak Island Lighthouse was a great stop.

About the host

Hosted by Gail Meyer

Host profile image
My husband and I live in North Carolina. We discovered Oak Island in 2015 when we came on vacation. It has been a dream of ours to own a beach home to share with our family and friends.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 2018. We chose this property because it is so welcoming. It is located just 1 block from the beach. The street is very quiet. It is a wonderful house to not only enjoy the beach, but ride bikes, take long walks, and play games in the large back yard.

What makes this property unique

Very quiet street, and neighborhood. House is great for families.
