Amazing house! Everything was beautiful and spotless. We enjoyed the pool, outdoor shower and especially the screen porch. Cottage style with very well used space. Highly recommend this property!
Tom was an amazing host. He really went above and beyond. We wanted to do a low country boil one night and there wasn’t a big enough pot. He had one delivered right away. The house was clean and well stocked. Everything was as described. Our family had a blast. Thank you for letting us stay with you!
"Our stay in Oak Island was fantastic! Even with 6 people in the house and some less-than-ideal weather, we never felt like we were tripping over one another. The space is incredibly spacious, clean, and functional, but it also has a wonderful personality that makes it feel like a home rather than just a rental.The kitchen was well-equipped for any kind of meal we wanted to prep, which was a huge plus. Most importantly, our host was top-tier—extremely caring and communicative from start to finish. It was exactly what we paid for and a very positive experience overall. We will definitely be staying here again!"
