This was our first trip to Oak Island and the property was perfect for us! The location is ideal with beach access at our fingertips and the view as if we were on the ocean. The amenities were great. Definitely on our list as a return visit.
This was my first trip to Oak Island and Dreamin’ By the Sea did not disappoint! This house was ideal for my family and stocked with everything we needed and more! The location is steps away from the beach, the views from the decks are beautiful, and the pool is amazing! The house was immaculate and the owners were very responsive.
This was our first trip to Oak Island and we could not have asked for a better house. Clean, well organized, close to everything - absolute perfection. We cannot wait to book again and again. Highly recommend.

This property was the most well stocked rental we have ever stayed in. Nancy was very informative and helpful. We would recommend this property to anyone!
Very nice house with lots to offer. Beautiful ocean views and public beach access right across the street. We could not have asked for a better vacation spot! Definitely will be returning!
Our family of 10 adults and a 2 year old enjoyed staying at this property. The spacious layout, fully stocked kitchen, and beautiful pool added to the relaxing atmosphere. We would recommend this to alnyone!
This house is the most beautiful and cleanest house we have stayed in! Perfect location!! We have been to Oak Island for many years perfect for our family! This house has everything you need and more! The lady that manages the property was wonderful too!! I hope we can stay here again we had the best time!💜
This is a wonderful home that is well equipped in a great location. Great indoor & outdoor space with excellent views and a beautiful saltwater pool with all the bells and whistles you could ever want. We will definitely be back! Thanks for sharing “Dreamin by the Sea” with us!

Thank you Patrick for choosing us. Please come visit again soon.
We absolutely loved the home. We did a lot of cooking and this kitchen had everything and was so well organized. Comfortable beds, great living and eating spaces, private pool, beach accessories- this place had it all. Nancy was very helpful and responsive. A quick walk to the beach and great views of the ocean made this a home we’d love to stay at again and again.
Great location and the house included everything we could have asked for a wonderful beach vacation. Organization of house items and beach closet was amazing and included plenty of fun activities for our week stay. Loved the beach and marsh views from multiple decks. Heated salt pool was also a big hit with children.
This house was equipped with everything we needed to enjoy the beach. Lots of beach chairs, a shibumi and a cool cabana, beach wagons, toys, and even beach towels. We only had to bring sunscreen. The kitchen also had everything we needed and then some. Plenty of room for all of us and nice that everyone had their own bathroom. Beautifully decorated, great porches with nice furniture, comfy beds, plenty of closet space and hangers. Cheryl thought of everything!
The is the best home we have ever rented through VRBO. The description was 100% accurate as well as the photos. Check-in was super easy and great communication whenever we had a question. This home literally has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Some of the highlights we loved were the coffee bar, two separate living spaces, outside beach and game closet and so much to choose from and super organized, pool, elevator, and being right across the street from the beach. It did rain on and off while we were there but there were many fun games, puzzles and books to choose from. Everyone in our group enjoyed every minute we spent in this beautiful home. We will definitely stay here again in the future. This one is a keeper.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the beach this week! The home is beautifully decorated, everything is fresh and impeccably clean. The views of the ocean from the deck are amazing. The kids especially loved the salt water pool, with lots of seating for those that don’t want to swim.
The kitchen and appliances will impress a gourmet chef! Every cooking utensil, pot and pan & serving item is carefully chosen. Every drawer and cabinet is so organized and labeled, there was no need to “hunt” for a thing.
The host also provides every beach toy, game, towels and sun shade that you could ask for. The closet where they are kept is wonderfully organized and labeled.
Lots of books, games, and huge tv’s for a rainy day. Because there are two separate family rooms there is tons of space to visit after you get tired of sun and fresh air.
We highly recommend this home for all these reasons and the property manager & owners quick response to our questions.
We go to Oak a couple times a year and have stayed everywhere...this was the best by a mile! You always wonder what to pack and if the house will have it...this house has it...from tents to games to coolers to ice packs for coolers they thought of every.thing. Awesome owner, very very helpful and quick to respond. Will stay here many many times more in the future!
Property was immaculate and there was nothing you could possibly want that this place didn’t have!!! The owners thought of everything when equipping this perfect vacation home!!!
First family trip to OKI, with 6 adults, 3 two year olds, 2 five year olds. This home was by far the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed at!!
This home is absolutely beautifully decorated in every room.. The bedding and linens were very comfortable, and each bedroom and sitting area had large tv for entertainment.
The kitchen, coffee/wine bar was stocked with everything you could ever need to relax, prepare meals and entertain. Inside provided games, puzzles, books, etc for all ages! Outside and inside furnishings on every level are amazing! The outdoor shower, pool and guest closet supplied us with more provisions than we had time to utilize, including beach chairs, tents, carts, games, and toys!
We all agreed that we highly recommend this home to anyone looking for five star accommodations as the owners did not leave out a single amenity and went above and beyond to provide everything you need for a memorable vacation! Thank you !
