Loved this cute house that had everything we needed for a mini beach vacay. Lots of towels, comfy beds, and just a 15 min walk to the beach. Grocery stores are nearby and it’s in a less crowded location. Clean and cozy. Would definitely stay here again!
The house was very charming. Kitchen was kind of small but that was okay. Loved the front porch, always a breeze.
Bedrooms were good. We enjoyed our time there.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Rusty Anchor. About a 10 minute walk to the beach. Very clean upon arrival. Had everything we needed. Our family really enjoyed our trip. Nice backyard for the dogs. We really liked having access to beach chairs, wagon, and beach toys. Saved room for packing. We love Oak Island and hope to be back soon!
The Rusty Anchor was a great little getaway. The house was a little smaller than expected for our group, but overall it worked out wonderfully for us. The property was a quick walk to the beach. The neighborhood was very quiet which allowed us to spend most of our time at the house in the backyard enjoying the weather. The dogs enjoyed the freedom of having a fenced in yard. We would love to come back and stay again sometime.

About the host
Hosted by Scott
We love to travel and stay at awesome places - that's why we've curated a family and pet friendly home equipped with everything you need for your Oak Island Vacation. We love to cook so the kitchen is well stocked. We love a good night's sleep, so the beds are extra plush with blackout curtains. We love unique spaces so we created several places indoors and out for everyone to have their own space.
