First Vacay to Oak Island
This property was a perfect location for the two of us. We loved fishing and sitting on the property's private dock in the early morning and evening. We walked (10 Min.) to the beach. If you can take a bike or beach wagon, those items would be helpful in getting you to the beach and back a bit faster. There are pay to park areas throughout the island.
It's DEFINITELY worth the 6 mile drive to THE POINT on the west end of the island. Go early for parking and pay electronically.
The property was CLEAN and had everything we needed. Communication with owner was quick and helpful. Easy check in!! Nice, quiet neighborhood. We hope to return again.

Great spot
Love this place, we had a very relaxing trip to Oak Island and enjoyed this spot. Spent a lot of time out on the dock doing some fishing & crabbing.
