This is one of the best homes we have rented. Very well stocked with everything we could want or need! The pictures do not do it justice. Very clean. The host was extremely responsive - even having a new coffee maker delivered early in the morning when there was a glitch with the existing coffee maker. Cannot wait to book again!

I am getting ready to book for the same two weeks next year. The pictures do not do this properly justice. Loved the dock, the patio and screened in area were so peaceful and beautifully furnished. Landscaping was incredible. We have stayed in many VRBO houses and this is by far the best. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

The moment we stepped into this home, our breath was taken away. It is so spacious! We felt right at home. The home was furnished with lots of kitchen supplies, which helped with our family meals. There were kayaks, bikes, a paddle board, a ping pong table and board games. We spent most of our time out on the wonderful dock fishing and throwing the cast net. We didn't catch anything major but had fun catching some smaller shrimp, crabs and fish. My 3 year old grandson loved it! The host, Lisa, was extremely accommodating to adjusting our check in and out schedule, and answering any questions. We loved the screened in porch very much! It was the perfect setting for serving our low country boil. I highly recommend this home for an Oak Island stay. Thank you, Lisa!

A slice of heaven

Everything was immaculate! Such a cozy, homey, spacious home with a view of the ICW from all of the rooms! We used the fishing dock..caught one fish, but just the peacefulness of sitting and watching so many birds, an occasional boat and we even got treated to a dolphin sighting while enjoying coffee! Maybe just bring your own knives, like we did, and some measuring cups and measuring spoons if you decide to cook. Otherwise, you really just need to bring yourself, friends or family and prepare to relax!!!

Amazing Family Thanksgiving Holiday!

This property was the perfect, cozy home to spend our family Thanksgiving. We had never been to North Carolina before and we fell in love with Oak Island. The home was perfect in terms of location, space for everyone, amenities, lots of extra items provided for recreation and there was even a beautiful Christmas tree inside to greet us once we arrived! You could sense the love and warmth in this family home. The beach was easy to get to and we loved watching the boats pass by in the early mornings and evenings from the porch. We even caught a few fish of our own from the pier. The owner is very friendly and easy to communicate with all through the process, even before making the booking, as we had a few questions about our son bringing his dog. She even checked on us upon our arrival to make sure we were finding everything okay. We would highly recommend this beautiful home for anyone looking for a memorable vacation - we are definitely hoping to return! Thank you - we will cherish the family memories we made during this vacation!

Very Relaxing Vacation Property

We had a very enjoyable stay at the property. Very well maintained and furnished. Stocked with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We loved the screened in back porch overlooking the inland waterway and beautiful back yard. The neighborhood was the perfect place for riding bikes along the waterway. Met several of the locals in the neighborhood while walking the dog. Everyone was so friendly. A five minute drive to public beach access. Close to all the wonderful restaurants on the island. (Our favorites - Salt64, Castucci's, Kai Joe's) Our host was great and sent messages to make sure we arrived ok and had everything we needed. Highly recommend this property.

Just perfect!

We stayed in mid-August for a long weekend of fishing at lounging at the beach. The home fit our extended family of 7 beautifully. The neighborhood was quiet and well-maintained. The home itself was so inviting, with a well-stocked kitchen (bring your own knives), comfortable congregating areas, and beautiful views. Lisa was so helpful and communicative! It was fun fishing off the dock and catching a few blue crabs! 10/10 recommend.
