Perfect Getaway

We gathered with family for Thanksgiving and the house was just perfect. The host worked with us for our arrival, which was seamless, and the house easily fit our family and dogs. The house was well stocked with everything needed and had the perfect spot to view sunrises and sunsets over the ocean. We are already talking about when we can return.

Clean, pet friendly property, located across the street from beach access. All on one floor which was great for our geriatric dog. Beautiful deck overlooking water and another in back for when it was really windy (and to see sunrise).

Great place at the beach!

This house is directly across from the Ocean Crest fishing pier and beach access. We loved the deck and the great views of the ocean. The beach access right across the street was so convenient. House very nice and up to date. Beds super comfortable and liked the set up with two bedrooms plus bathroom on either side of main living area. Would love to come back here again!

Weekend with friends

Great location across from the beach access with ocean views. Pier across the street has a dive bar and is also scenic overlook if you pay to walk out. Restaurant attached to the pier also looked very nice. House had ample seating and tvs in every room. We had a lovely time for a last minute trip to oak island

There were 5 adults and 1 dog, that came down for Pledge the Pink Breast Cancer Fundraiser walk. We were 5 minutes from Middleton Park, the ocean was right across the street. The house was perfect for us. We enjoyed our stay. They even allowed a pet. Harris even did the walk, 26 miles.

Perfect 4th Holiday

We stayed for the week of the 4th of July and had a great time. The beach was a short walk, which is crucial with a toddler. We could even leave our beach Shibumi shade up all day and see it from the house when our baby had to nap. The area was fun to explore on a golf cart. None of the outlets seemed to work downstairs for charging which the only problem, but we ran the cord upstairs.

BACK TO THE BEACH

After 7 years we finally made it back to Oak Island. The house was great. Loved the gates and fenced area for Wendy my grandpup. Outside shower was also a great help when coming back from the beach. The view was perfect for being 2nd row. Very well stocked kitchen. The beach towels at the house also a great perk. Only thing I would suggest is a clock in the living room and more tea towels in the kitchen. Will definetely book again.

Fabulous

We had a great time as a family enjoying a beach trip. It was hard to find a place to accommodate what we needed as a family, but the owners were willing to work with us. We could not be happy with our trip and hope to come back soon.:)The remotes were hard to work and internet kept going out. But overall the stay was amazing, especially with the view on the porch. I think that was our favorite part in the mornings, having coffee and listening to the ocean.

Great service! Great location!

We had very good time there. The location of the house is great! You can see the ocean from the balcony. The pier is right there. We caught a lot of fishes. The house is very clean and has lots of supplies in the kitchen. The bed is very comfortable to sleep in. Owner is very responsive with any questions. One of our teens forgot to pack his jersey shirt and a pair of pants when we left. The jersey shirt means a lot to him as it is a birthday gift. Our friend is so surprised when he got the clothes shipped back on the second day when we backed home! Thank you so much! We enjoyed the stay and so did our dogs. :-)
