Our family beach vacation was in Oak Island and we stayed at "Tough Choices." It is a beautiful, well equipped house, in an excellent location. The ocean views are wonderful and beach access is right behind the house. There was plenty of space for our children and grandchildren. Everyone enjoyed the pool and deck areas on all levels. The elevator is wonderful for getting luggage and groceries upstairs. We look forward to returning! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### KEVIN H.
