summer vacation
The location was great so close to the beach. The 3 season room came in handy. The downstairs unit was very nice and we liked the room upstairs for gathering everyone together. The upstairs bathroom could use some work. We could have used more kitchen towels. We had a great stay.

Outstanding Getaway Spot
We had an amazing time! Everything was great, from check-in to checkout and everything in between, you couldn't have scripted a better experience. Very well equipped and nicely located home. Great spot to take the family to enjoy some quality time together. Very quiet and relaxing as well. A great value as well.

Craft Cottage was great!
Great property. Very clean and location was as advertised. Owner was prompt in answering questions and taking care of requests. Just wish there was an indoor stairway between upstairs and downstairs unit.

Fantastic time in Oak Island
Our family loved the Craft Cottage. Perfect for two groups traveling together. Lots of space for dinners and activities together while providing many areas to relax quietly by yourself. Super easy access to the beach and the outdoor shower so nice when coming back from the beach. Owner and rental group were very responsive to all questions and quickly resolved any issues. Definitely would stay here again!!
