We have a WONDERFUL time during our stay!! This vacation was absolutely amazing and the most peaceful one ever. From driving on the beach to seeing the wild horses in the back yard, we loved every single moment. The hosts were amazing, very friendly and helpful. Wished we could have stayed longer but we will definitely be back next year.

This was our first time renting a house on the beach anywhere. It was very secluded. There were a few issues, but I suspect any place like that has a few issues. So I guess you get what you paid for.

Overall best experience to date I’ve had at OBX. Raw and untamed, what I envisioned the island to be before heavy tourism and development. Wild horse encounters were more than you can count on two hands! Trent and Stephanie were helpful,prompt,and courteous.private and secluded .

It’s the 1st vacation we’ve taken in years! Didn’t know what I was doing when booking , but it turned out to be amazing!!! Myself my kids and my mom all stayed. The owner was very helpful and made it a great vacation! Very helpful with everything. The house was great!!! It was exactly like described on Vrbo!!! I would definitely recommend! When it says “secluded “ they mean it!! Great vacation was had by all!!!

We visited for over July 4th with another family and had a toddler, a 5 year old, and 2 teenagers. There was plenty of space for everyone. The house was clean and really nice. The hosts were very communicative and responsive. They reached out and gave us good advice for getting there and some things to consider before leaving the paved road, and were flexible about check in so we could drive on the beach at low tide. We enjoyed the hot tub and got to see horses wandering through in the evenings. It was amazing to be able to pack up all our stuff for the beach and drive right to where we wanted to go. Overall, great trip and we’ll probably be back!

The home was in tip top condition. New everything, including hot tub, appliances, all beds and pillows (high end excellent quality). It truly makes for a better experience having peace, quiet, clean and comfy bedding.
The owners were truly a blessing, living nearby. They were the definition of true southern hospitality. They went above and beyond making our stay as comfortable as possible. I could not have asked for a better host from maintaining the hot tub, answering numerous questions about the area, explaining the safest ways to enjoy the 4x4 beach, and much more.
Octopus Oasis exceeded my expectations!!! I have owned a shore home, and have traveled the states extensively and highly recommend this experience!!

Beautiful place to stay, owners were very helpful. Absolutely loved the location within minutes of beach but yet private and secluded. Great home for multifamily groups, extremely clean w/all the kitchen accessories needed which is very difficult in vacation rentals when you're cooking all your BBQ meals and so on, Definitely RECCOMMEND, plus seeing all the wild horse right out your back door - Amazing.

Last minute getaway for us after a very long drought of down time. We really wanted to be left alone...as in, alone alone. Lol
And this place fit the bill perfectly. I booked it. We drove there. We enjoyed. It's that easy. The privacy of the 4x4 location is what makes it. What an adventure. See ya next year.
Thanks again.

Great house. Great location. Friendly, helpful owners.
