Very dog friendly

Community was very dog friendly and we loved the privacy fence which allowed for our dog to retrieve every morning without us having to drive to a dog park. The house was comfortable and user friendly We would definitely visit again if ever in the area.

Great cottage with spacious fenced backyard and powerful AC!

We stayed at the Blue Cottage for a long weekend with our pups and absolutely recommend this listing! Spacious, secure yard with lots of room for the pups to run. The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and utensils. Large AC unit kept the house very cool all weekend. Not having a king bed was a minor inconvenience, but we made it work! Great spot for a small family to stay on Oak Island!
