4 generations beach trip

It was a great place to stay very clean and was a good size for my family, only I thought we would be able to sit on back deck and see the beach but the deck was not high enough to see over sand dunes, we had a 81 yr old who would have loved to be able to see our 6 yr old playing on the beach but she was not able to walk on beach. Also I have never stayed where the linen was not provided when I book I didn’t think it would make a difference but now I think I will always stay where linen is provided.

We had a great first time on Oak Island! Thank you to Louann for sharing her beautiful home with us. The view is gorgeous. The home has anything and everything you could possibly need. It was extremely clean! It was very comfortable/cozy for the 5 of us. We loved the downstairs area, outdoor shower and that it was just a few steps from the beach! We stayed during Tropical Storm Debby and Louann was so helpful and responsive the whole time we were there. Thank you again and we look forward to coming back!

Family beach vacay ages 7m - adult

Very nice clean home oceanfront with beach access. Great for family of 6. Newly renovated home and very clean on arrival. Newer appliance but I will caution the oven does not work the best. The oven says preheated very quickly and it’s not heated to the correct temp so give it time. All the appliances/cooking pans, pots, utensils you could need are provided. Even children plates and utensils. Great place for children with kids table, seats, etc. the master bed and 1 other queen bed are very high off the ground so caution with elderly or disabled. Doorway not walker accessible except through master bedroom to bathroom. Overall wonderful spot!!

Perfect Getaway

I can't say enough good things about the "Atlantic Dream". The layout is nice. A very short walk to the beach. There is a shower and patio under the house. A good place to clean up before heading upstairs. We were pleasantly surprised to find children's books, toys, and even a small table and chairs for the kids. Everyone had a great time.

Anniversary get away

The house was perfect. It’s positioned right on the beach with easy access. It’s close to all things Oak Island. My wife and I hadn’t been back to Oak Island in many years. We were married there 19 years ago. We decided to finally take the opportunity to get back to the beach and more importantly, get back to quality time together, even if just for a long weekend. This house was perfect for our special weekend. It was clean and well laid out, The host was very thoughtful in ensuring that every necessity was provided. Communication was excellent. I would highly recommend this property. If you’re looking for a home that is close to everything, easy beach access, and very comfy, this is definitely it. Thank you for letting us use your home.
