Awesome location-Perfect porch

Great location for 2-6 people (3 bedrooms/2bath) and dogs with easy access to the beach, grocery stores, and shops. Fantastic deck to greet the morning sun and relax and look at the stars at night. Host included linens and towels which was a big plus. So grateful to find an affordable house that is walking distance to the beach that allows pets.

OKI KYIA is A-Ok!

This charming 3 BR 2BA is perfect for our young grandchildren. The distance to beach was not too far for a wagon ride(which one was available but we took our own). April is perfect time to visit as weather was perfect. Plenty of towels, Kurig was a sweet surprise, and all the necessity appliances worked!

Perfect little getaway!

My sisters and I enjoyed our first trip to Oak Island. The home was beautiful and the view of the ocean from the front deck, while a little limited by the next row of houses was a wonderful! Just a very short walk to the beach.

Great last minute getaway.

My wife and I unexpectedly found ourselves with the same week off and only a month or so to find a rental property. The property owner was very accommodating and friendly. The property itself is located in a quiet area with the Island Way restaurant within walking distance.

The perfect little vacation!

This was a fantastic little house with an ocean view. Minutes to the beach and the house had everything we needed. I found the main bedroom bed was perfect for me and got the best sleep of my life. For the price this house can’t be beat!

Home away from Home

We really enjoyed staying at this house! We had plenty of space for my family to all be comfortable, plus an open area to all sit together in the living room and dining space. Middle of the week we had really bad storms, but the house held strong. It was a short walk to the beach access and the pier. The kiddos rode their bikes throughout the neighborhood and I felt quite safe about letting them do so. Overall, we had a wonderful time. i would defiantly consider renting this house again in the near future!

Long Weekend in Oak Island

We came to Oak Island at the last minute for a funeral and this property was exactly what we needed. We were a short walk from the beach but you can still hear the ocean on the front porch. The beds were very comfortable and the property manager was responsive. There were brand new pots and pans but the appliances need to be repaired/fixed. We would stay here again.

Lacking cleanliness

We really loved the location of this property. The property needs many updates but I could over look that if the house was clean. Hair on the sheets, food and such on the carpets. The vinyl floors were very dirty. The owners response was he would tell the cleaners but no one came to fix the problem.

Great property, will stay again!

This was a great experience, check in was so easy, place was clean! They supplied most if not all of your basic necessities! There was an outdoor shower, beach equipment( chairs, towel, sandboxes, a wagon). For a third row house, you had an ocean view from the dinning table, great for drinking coffee! The location was awesome, so close to the beach access! The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars from me, the primary bedroom is in need of a serious upgrade to the mattress, or maybe a mattress topper! My husband and I woke up sore most of the vacation, other than that no complaints!

Ok

The house some serious upgrades for the price needs new or gently used furniture in den area. Springs are completely shot in couch and cushions on the back are ripped with stuffing coming out. Walls buckled and pieced together. The master bay is very tiny. Needs too much work to be done at that price.

Worn down

The house was ok. Grass kneehigh. Advertised as having fenced in yard, it does not. Outside shower doesn't work. Entire place needs an upgrade. Definitely not worth the rental price.
