Amazing Beach House

We absolutely loved our stay at this house. It was beautiful and very clean and had everything you could possibly need for a stay at the beach. Lori was great and very responsive for any questions I had before and during our trip. It's a very quick and easy walk to the beach. We would definitely love to stay again and I would highly recommend this house!

Great spot across the street from the beach

Very well maintained house with all the amenities you can need. Game room had everything set up nicely and everything properly done. For our family we could have used an extra bathroom upstairs and a connection between floors, but over all very happy stay. Stones throw from the beach and the kids had a blast!

Great, Quiet Location and Beach Access

We really enjoyed our stay! The location was just great. We were a couple of minutes away from direct beach access via a short walk. The beach was beautiful and peaceful. The house was clean and organized. All amenities were terrific, including beach chairs, beach carts, boogie boards, bikes, a ping pong table, and an air hockey table. We would definitely stay here again! .

Everything was great

The property is as advertised. Very clean, comfortable, extraordinarilly well stocked (the little extras, such as coffee k-cups, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, laundry and dishwasher detergent, etc. -- in quantities more than just "starters" -- are appreciated. And bikes and beach gear are a real bonus). The location is fantastic. We enjoyed two free events at Middleton Park, a 1-minute walk away. Pepperoni Grill, with the best pizza and calzones on the island, is a 30-second walk away. The beach is a one-minute walk, and the grocery, restaurants and shops are minutes away. Lori, the host, is always accessible and genuinely wants her guests to have a great vacation. This is surely among the best places to stay on the island.

Location can’t be beat!!

An amazing value! Walk to the beach and you’re right next to all the action, but the beach isn’t crowded!! This was our second stay! We brought our dog this time and she loved it. It was great to have the front porch which is gated, so she could hang with us while we have morning coffee. I love how big the kitchen is and the variety of beds arrangements for kids of various ages. This house is so kid friendly! My kids loved the addition of air hockey! They have a lot of baby/kid equipment too. This would be very manageable for families with littles. Be sure to check out the point—maybe rent kayaks! We love the Lazy turtle restaurant and visit almost every ice cream place. In Southport we love the sightseeing cruise (dolphins!), Smokehoise BBQ, Christmas House and ghost tour. Lori is super responsive. Would absolutely rent again!

Sign us up for next year!

We can’t say enough good things about our stay, the property and our host. The house was in great condition and had everything we needed to start our vacation as soon as we walked in the door. The property was within a very short walk to the beach access, our favorite pizza shop, farmer’s market and pickleball courts. If all goes as planned…we will definitely be back next year!

Best Beach house!

This house was awesome and made our stay at the beach great. Our kids loved the basement playroom with the ping pong and ice hockey tables. The house was clean and pristine and had everything we needed. There was a TV in every room which our kids loves as well. The host Lori was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly each time I messaged her with questions. Would 100% recommend this place and we plan to stay again next year!

Perfect location!!

If you have kids this is the perfect rental! Short easy walk to the beach, and so close to stores, the park, and restaurants. You even have some ocean views! We borrowed a golf cart from a friend and it fit perfectly under the deck, and there was a convenient exterior plug. Home is exceptionally clean and very comfortable. Kitchen and bedrooms are very large. Loved the ping pong table and having everything we needed for the beach. Everything worked well when we were there. Things to know—there is a towel and sheet service company so when you arrive you’ll need to make all the beds. Next time I would bring my own cozier sheets. But the beds are very comfortable!! Also, the downstairs area can only be accessed by going outside, there’s no inside stairwell. This location can’t be beat. Big difference not having to cross the one busy thoroughfare on the island to get to the beach and shops. You can walk just about anywhere you need if you want! It was safe and quiet. Only thing I would change is having some shade on the front deck so I could spend more time there! Shady for morning coffee tho!

Great Get Away

Great location, very well stocked house- all you would ever need is there. Very clean and well maintained. Close walk to the beach. Only negative was not knowing that the 2nd bathroom and shower was downstairs and only accessible by going outside and down to the basement. That might need to be mentioned in the description of the house. But- would still stay again.

Beautifully appointed with great layout

The house was very clean very beautifully decorated. The beds were extra comfortable. The kitchen was a breeze to work in. We didn’t find a single bug anywhere, which is a real plus as many houses that we have stayed in on Oak Island have had. I was in contact with our host Lori , who was so accommodating. We will definitely choose this house again if we do not have a larger group.

Extremely Clean, Modern and Pet Friendly

Had everything we could have wanted or imagined. Supplied with the best of items. The owners did not do anything cheap but went above what you would expect. The kitchen was our favorite because we loved to cook and it was great to have multiple people in there at the sane time. Each bedroom including the kitchen has large flat screen TVs, and Downstairs has two. We loved thar the downstairs was seperate so we could play games without waking everyone upstairs. You will not be disappointed. Firsr time visiting Oak Island and I could not have imagined a better place and the owner was on top of everything. I would rate higher than a 5 if possible.

Wonderful location. Great property. Best host ever!!

This get away perfect for our relaxing family getaway! The beach was literally steps away and a beautiful park with a splash pad and play ground was a nice option for red flag days when the surf was too strong for the kids. Don’t miss the farmers market on Mondays. Too bad the fireworks and concert on Friday got rained out. No idea what else the Island has to offer, normally we want to do a lot of sightseeing but we were so comfortable we rarely left the property other than to get food or to walk to across the street to the beach. I’ve never wanted to visit a place again and again but this is definitely on our return visit short list. I wish I could give VRBO a separate rating, they charged me twice for this vacation once to my credit card and once on a cancelled Affirm loan. They’ve been trying to resolve this issue for a month and haven’t figured out how to fix it yet. No fault of Lori’s this is a Vrbo issue a only, she has been an amazing host.
