Plenty of space in the common areas allows for everyone to gather together and be part of the conversation. Outside, you can enjoy listening to the waves roll onto the shore in one of the rocking chairs on the covered oceanside porch, lounge out by the fire pit in the back yard catching up on old times, or curl up with a good book in the outdoor swing. This home is near everything you want and need from necessities to fun!

Pastime was clean and just two houses down from the beach entrance. When we arrived there were a few things that needed fixing and someone came within 30 minutes of the call to fix it. My favorite part of the house was the enclosed outdoor shower- perfect for kids to get their shower done without tracking sand in the house!

Everything was good and location to the beach was very convenient. The only issue we had was the sheets did not fit the beds good and they were cheap. Could also use some blankets for the bed. The only other issue we had was that we didn't have enough towels and wash clothes to do for the length of stay.

Oak Island Getaway
Past Time is very convenient to the beach and has ocean views from the front porch. The home is older, and has steps to climb to enter, but decorated very nice and provides everything you need to enjoy the beautiful island. Good for kids as it has two regular tubs. Good parking underneath the home.
