Our complex is in the perfect "vacation location", directly across from the Yaupon Beach Fishing Pier, Koko Cabana bar and restaurant, Ruby's coffee shop, and the Lazy Turtle Bar and Grille just a block away. Also, less than a mile to the East is Oak Island Golf Club and their new Duffer's Pub and Grille. Enjoy palm trees and ocean views right from your porch. There is also a shared outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. Oak Island Lighthouse is about a three mile walk along the beach to the East. Just off the island is the beautiful and historic town of Southport, NC.

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at Carolina tides. The property was very clean when we arrived, the condo is well stocked with utensils and essentials, and very comfortable. The location across from the pier was outstanding for easy beach access and we really appreciated the included parking. Linens and towels were provided, a nice feature given that not all properties provide them. We were on the beach in less than three minutes. We’ve had some very good vrbo hosts in the past but Eric is one of the best. He immediately responded to our questions before arrival, provided a comprehensive information sheet about the property and guidelines and checked in with us by text during our stay to make sure we were enjoying our visit. The whole process of checking in was so easy with his guidance

Carolina Tides

Carolina Tides is a great place to stay. The accommodations are top notch and the owner is top notch as well. The location is the best part of staying at Carolina tides. You have the beach, restaurants, and the fishing pier just across the street. I for one will be coming back to Oak Island and Carolina Tides will be the 1st place I check for availability.i could go on and on, but I think you get the drift. Get yourself down to the beach and stay at Carolins Tides. You will not regret it. Mike Show quoted text

Holiday at Oak Island

My husband and I were very pleased with the property. The owner is very responsive both prior to our arrival and when we had any questions on site. Clean and modern unit. Loved the covered porch! Only downfall was the close proximity to the dumpsters. We would definitely rent this property again if we are in the area.

Convenient location to the beach, restaurants and pier

Our family (2 adults, 1 toddler) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. It was very convenient to walk back from the beach with our young child. There were 2 restaurants within walking distance and all other amenities were 5 minutes or less away (grocery store, ice machine, other restaurants). The condo itself was well kept and perfect for our family. The owners were on top of the stay and provided timely communication. We will return to the property if available in the future.

Great Little Gem

This end unit two bedroom condo it's a nice little gem. It was clean, well stocked, sealed well (no bugs), quiet, ceiling fans, cold AC, front door next to stairs, and parking directly underneath. Big enough for my full size pickup. Although not right on the beach it was a short couple hundred feet walk with two entrances to the beach on either side of a clean & relatively new fishing Pier. We enjoyed having morning coffee on the pier and quiet evenings sitting on the pier watching the sunset. Pier is open till 10:00 p.m. and is free to walk on and sit on the benches. Coffee shop and restaurant at the pier. Note: Sand washing off hose at the entrance of the Pier. Employees & everyone were very very nice. There is an occupied unit over this condo but the residents were very quiet. From the corner of the outdoor porch you can actually see the ocean and Pier. The hot tub and pool were nice and few people were there. Overall we had a nice, calm stay. Eric the owner was very communicative and attentive to our needs. Thanks so much and we'll be back!

This place was perfect for our family of four! The condo is beautiful, and the entire complex is well maintained. The pool was very clean!

Steps from the sand, miles from stress!

A much-needed escape that exceeded expectations! The rental was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and just steps from the sand and waves. It was the perfect place to relax, recharge, and soak in the beauty of ocean! The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful—available right away for any questions. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!"
Area is safe, quiet. Sitting on the deck you can see and hear the waves for a refreshing start to the morning or end to your evening. Parking safe, convenient/well lit. Walkway/elevator very convenient/easily accessible.
Pic of Yaupon pier. Great fishing and watching beautiful sunsets!

Welcoming in 2025!

We have been coming to OKI for many years now but first time over New Years. We love Eric’s place! Exceptionally clean, easy check in, and a great location! The condo is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Eric is also an excellent host! He makes sure you have what you need! Before we came, I asked him if he had a crock pot and he was sure there was one but if there wasn’t he would have had one sent!! Thank you Eric for sharing your place and we will definitely be back!!

Family Together Time

The great condo and super location made our family get away terrific. The higher end condo has super nice appliances, a superb, furnished kitchen, and comfortable bathrooms. The bottom level with underneath parking made access easy. We enjoyed being able to walk across the street to the Oak Island Pier. It is a nice pier with good fishing, an attached shop and an attached restaurant - the Koko Cabana. We watched the waves and the beach while eating great food at the Koko Cabana! Also, Shagger Jacks restaurant, our favorite, is right around the corner from the complex. A number of other restaurants and other retail facilities are nearby. We look forward to returning soon!
