Clean, updated home in a perfect location! Just a short walk to the pier, coffee shop, and restaurants!

The bedrooms were spacious and tidy with plenty of storage for suitcases and unpacking. We loved the sunroom and all the natural light this house provided. We travelled with 3 adults and a 9 month old baby, and had plenty of room (and quiet!) to accommodate everyone. Walking distance to beach access was an incredible perk. 10/10 would recommend! ##### Katie M.

The house is in a quiet neighborhood just a block away from the ocean. Lots of activities within a 15 minute drive. The house was set up great for our family. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms nice. Lots of places to spread out. Kitchen was perfect for our meals. The yard and sun room were perfect for relaxing. We will be back. ##### Susan B.

The owner is incredibly gracious and easy to work with and the house was one of the best and thoughtfully stocked rentals we’ve ever experienced. Coffee, tea, sugar, spices, extra towels, TP and all paper products. The home is older but extremely well cared for and clean. We loved the back enclosed porch and fire pit. Thank you Wes for your hospitality! extremely clean and well cared for. ##### Mary W.

This home is perfect for me, my husband and two older children (not yet teenagers). The outdoor shower was my absolute favorite! Very quick walk to public beach access. And the backyard setup was perfect! We would hang out in the back around the fire pit (without a fire because it was hot outside) and the scenery and sounds were very relaxing! Definitely going back. ##### Ashley W.

This was the perfect place for our girls weekend at the beach! The house is beautiful, clean, spacious, and so close to the beach and fun beach bars. We appreciated all the beach chairs and beach cart provided, the well stocked kitchen with all the essentials, and the outdoor shower to rinse off after returning from the beach. Oak Island is a gem among the NC beaches and this neighborhood was wonderful. Would absolutely book this place again! ##### Jen E.

It was so nice to be just a couple min walk to the beach and the home had two outdoor showers which was so nice! The fire pit was one of our kids' favorite parts of the home, they loved making smores. We loved the proximity to restaurants and ice cream shops. Will be staying at this property again! ##### William J.

The kids loved the bunk beds and outdoor shower. Lots of beach supplies including chairs, toys and carts were provided. The kitchen is quite small (tight for 2 adults to be in there at the same time) but we managed. We would love to return sometime soon. ##### Lindsay S.

Wow, where do I even begin by saying that this home is absolutely amazing! The design and decor is HGTV worthy in every aspect. We spent so much of our time on the enclosed back porch with the windows open while listening to the sound of the waves in the distance. The beach is only a 2 minute walk down the quiet street. In the evenings we sat around the stone fire pit underneath the most amazing trees on the property. Bring your firewood, because you’re really going to enjoy this one!! I could have slept out there every night. In the mornings, we thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary coffee and tea bar that was stocked fully when we checked in. A 5 star experience is what we definitely got when we stayed here. Wes and Amanda were the most gracious hosts, and made sure that we were completely taken care of. I work in the travel industry, and this is by far one of the best rentals that I have stayed in. Book this property. I promise that you will not be disappointed! Many Thanks to Wes and Amanda! You’re fantastic! ##### Charles K.

Oak Island alone is fantastic, but having our own space to just relax in was icing on the cake. We would stay here again, overall an excellent experience. ##### Hope H.
