The detached building, Zen Den, has a bedroom set up and an office for those who need a remote workplace for a longer stay! The main house has two bedrooms and the two bathrooms. One room is set up as a kids room with two sets of twin bunk beds while the other is the primary bedroom that has a King size bed. The detached building is the Zen Den! It has a Queen sized bed, TV, and an office for those who need some extra space or a place to work while visiting! The home is set up with keypad locks that are synced up so that you can have quick access back and forth from the detached room and main house and be secure. The backyard is fenced in and has access to the shed. In the shed you will find bikes, beach chairs, ladder golf, bocci ball and a buggy for getting all the gear to the beach! A pump and some hardware for the bikes is in there as well just in case. Pet Fee: The pet fee covers up to 2 pets! Please make sure your reservation is updated properly.

We happened to end up being in the "1000 yr flood"! The host contacted us immediately that morning to check on things and our situation, and we're glad that things weren't as bad as they could have been. Thank you for that!! The island got hit hard, but Zen Den turned out to be the safest place to be. . Wonderful beach access and tourist needs. Also wonderful for our old pup and great amenities. Hopefully, we'll get to see the Den again! Thank you so much for a great anniversary trip!! Also clean Thankco #8. ##### Heather A. Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### rene r.

This house was great for us and our dog. The back yard is big and fully fenced. There are plenty of chairs, a picknick table and charcoal grill for outdoor chilling. The owners also provide use of lawn games, bikes, beach chairs, and beach cart. The exterior bedroom/building was perfect for my husband to use as an office. The main home has 2 well appointed bedrooms, 2 nice bathrooms, and cute decor. The home was very well stocked to make any stay great! There were books, games, and a well stocked kitchen (plenty of dinner and cookware). The area is walkable to the beach although we prefer a quick drive. We love being close to Southport, and an hr to Wilmington. There's so much to do! Great restaurants and lot's of local music. Be sure to get some peel and eat shrimp and crab cakes! Would definitely reccomend this home and would stay again! ##### rene r. Stayed 29 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie H.

The neighborhood is so quiet and cozy and also a short distance to the beach. Maxwell is a great host and the amenities are excellent. All kinds of beach stuff there already so you don't have to struggle on the beach. All items are listed on the website. The intracoastal is right behind you and a great place for dogs and friends. I always suggest golf carts on Oak Island for convenience and cheap parking. The house is in the perfect place for shopping and beach access.

Having the beach cart, boogie boards, chairs was excellent, and saved us space for packing. The house is minutes from the beach, but I would recommend driving and not walking due to the amount of stuff you bring with you. The outdoor shower is nice, but could use some irrigation. Kitchen was decently stocked, but bring your own condiments (ketchup, mustard). Overall, we had a great stay. ##### Jeff R. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martha S.

Bring toiletries and any condiments for cooking such as salt, pepper, etc. Only coffee option is a nice Keurig machine. ##### David P. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valerie F. Oct 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house was perfect for our family. Set up as pictured. Clean, comfy and cozy. The backyard is a bonus with the lights and the fire pit. The dogs enjoyed the fenced in yard almost as much as we did. We even were able to walk to the beach from the house. Close to the shops and restaurants. Will plan to come back here! Thanks for the memories! ##### Valerie F. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard B.
