There are houses at the beach and then there are beach houses. They seem the same but the beach house has a soul which this property has. It was simple, clean and comfortable. I'm sure it's been the center of many a great vacation. I'm sure I will be back.

Great weekend!

We were in Oak Island to watch our son run the marathon and his fiancée run the 5k. It was a great weekend.The only thing I could say was a slight negative to the house were the stairs going into the house. There was only a partial handrail on one side. They should add the rest of the handrail. Other than that it was great! I wish it had been warmer to be on the beach. It’s a nice cozy place. Thank you!

Prefect for small family with kids

One Grand parent with two daughters and their children (7,5,& a 7month old baby) and a son in law. Was just the right size for that combination. Loved the easy access to the beach and the deck. The gazebo was the selling point for granddad. Only criticism is the lights and outlet for parking wasn’t working. And our key code stopped working on Friday, but I don’t know if one of the children did something wrong to cause that. Would also suggest lighting for the outside shower area as well. Love an outside shower! The water spigot at the back porch was awesome and so convenient! Bravo on that.

A Treasure on the Dunes

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation here, made all the more magnificent by this delightful “home base.” The house—while exceptionally well appointed with new appliances, a large washer and dryer, and everything one would need for cooking and serving—effortlessly manages to be both functional and cozy. The seating is ample, the beds are comfortable and supportive, and the layout is practical, with bedrooms and restrooms to the roadside while the open design of the living/dining areas allows a comfortable flow through the house and an unobstructed view of the ocean. Outside, having the covered swing is marvelous, giving a beautiful view of the ocean and a cathartic breath of sea air. It rained all day for 2 days of our trip, but the covered swing remained gloriously restful. The only item that could use some improvement is the deck, as there are a few nail heads rising from the older wood; however, repairs have already begun with deck screws and new treated lumber. Lastly, the homeowner goes out of their way to assure a pleasant stay. The homeowner was immediately responsive to any questions we had, and worked closely with us so that our stay was memorable. We always felt that if we had any questions or concerns, that an answer would be arriving momentarily. I cannot say enough about the wonderful time we had in this house and how attentive the homeowner was, and I would unreservedly recommend this beach rental to anyone.

Disappointment

Property location is awesome, property and facilities however were disappointing. I texted contact person with why along with photos and no response to date from back on Tuesday, 3 days ago. When booked, I went off the 4.8 star rating I saw but did not read actual prior reviews, if I had the one from 2021 still holds for today. My guess, based on my experience is that property owners don't take reviews seriously as I found the state of this property as she described, but with 2 years more of physical deterioration. Luckily we were not planning a lot of time indoors and the weather helped make that a reality, otherwise what turned out to be an ok trip would have been rather unenjoyable. My advice, renter beware.

Making final memories

My sister and I brought my mom here for a short stay! She has stage IV ovarian cancer and is very week but it was perfect for her to get to the swing and see and hear the ocean! It was warm/stuffy when we got there, text the owner and they turned the ac on…next day wasn’t as warm and I text because mom was cold and they turned the heat back on! It was wonderful!

Nice for a short stay

My family stayed here for 5 nights. Housekeeping was great, the house was clean and well appointed. Renee arranged for kayaks to be dropped off, which was great as the ocean was very calm during our stay so we used the kayaks on the ocean. The deck was very weather-worn (e.g., splinters on the railing as well as on the flooring), which limited the time we spent enjoying the deck. Also, the City must have made the dune higher since the photos were taken because we couldn't see the beach or the waves crashing from the porch...but you can certainly hear the sounds of the ocean, which were so calming. We loved being able to walk to the playground and to several ice cream shops after dinner -- a great location!
