Overall we had a great experience and this house worked so well for me and my family. The kids loved the bunk bed room with the paintings on the wall and it was really spacious for us. The walk to the beach was so easy and it was beyond quiet in the evening!

We had a nice stay at this beach property. The home was conveniently located near the beach, and the walk was not very far. The beach supplies were a great bonus—they provided chairs, a beach cart, sand toys, and a Shibumi shade. They also had bikes available, which were especially nice for the kids.The kitchen was adequate and had what we needed for our stay.The main issue we had was with the listing photos and sleeping arrangements. We booked the property believing our son would have his own bedroom based on the photos. However, when we arrived, we found that the room shown with two twin beds was actually set up with bunk beds, and our son ended up sleeping on a daybed/couch that was set up in a hallway. This was disappointing, especially for a larger group, and we felt the photos were misleading about the actual sleeping arrangements.Aside from that issue, we enjoyed the location and appreciated the beach amenities provided by the property.

This property was great! The location was a quick walk to the beach. The house had all the beach items we could have needed-tent, chairs, wagon, boogie boards etc. All of the decks were great to sit outside and enjoy the view and the space inside was perfect for us. We will def stay here again!

Perfect Stay

The house was very nice with a great layout. Checkin and checkout was painless. The upstairs kitchen and living area are great for families looking to eat and gather together. Location to the beach was an easy walk, less than 5 minutes to the access point. I would definitely go back to this house for future stays!

About the host

Hosted by David Mayers

Host profile image

I'm Dave Mayers, and I'm so delighted you're considering or have booked time at our vacation home in Oak Island. I reside mostly at our home in Charlotte, NC, and am married with 3 children ranging in age from a freshman in high school, to a senior in college.

I work for a large consulting company, and I personally specialize in providing software services and consulting for power utilities, gas utilities and water utilities. I've also been an avid real estate investor since 2005, investing mostly in single family rental houses in the Charlotte area.

The recent purchase of this home on Oak Island is a departure for me, both in terms of type of real estate investing, and location. It is perhaps the first step towards retirement, with this house likely becoming a future full time residence for me and my wife. In the interim, it is a place for us to vacation and to pour our heart and soul into shaping and molding. I've always had what I call a "passion for place", and love to take overlooked properties and create something special. I've done this for years in typical residential areas of Charlotte - but having a canvas like this one on Oak Island by the ocean has infused me with a new energy and passion.

I'm genuinely excited to share our home with you, and hope that it gives you the coastal experience you're seeking, perhaps with a unique flair. In fact, one of the things I'm most looking forward to is hearing your feedback after you've had the chance to vacation here - something I didn't get with my residential properties with tenants who lived there for a year or more! Your real time feedback will help me focus my "passion for place" into continuously improving the property in ways I may not have previously considered.

I hope you will find this home as relaxing and enjoyable as I do, and please don't hesitate to reach out to me during your stay if anything is not up to standard in any way. Cheers!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property because of its location on the quieter western side of Oak Island. Also, I felt that this property was unique with its combination of both easy and quick beach access, along with unparalleled views of the Davis Canal from the expansive back deck. Additionally, I was compelled by the fact that this custom built home had never been rented, and was recently updated inside. I personally invested heavily on upgrading the exterior with paint, and with brand new decks to complete the vision of a superior Oak Island vacation home.

What makes this property unique

This house is unique in that it features both fantastic ocean views, and views of the Davis Canal (which are perhaps even more spectacular). Also, the house has been recently modernized and upgraded, and has never previously been rented until this year (2022). While the house is setup to sleep up to 8 people, it could easily host groups of up to 16 for meals and/or family gatherings with its expansive living and dining areas, making it an ideal central location for extended family gatherings who may be renting nearby.
