Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean, comfortable and convenient Outstanding, very well maintained. Negatives, doors squeak and master bath door does not lock. Major problem, man an wife across street, several times daily bring dogs over to do business in bushes right next to screened in porch! ##### mark c. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin C. Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our stay at this gorgeous Oak Island, NC, beach home was phenomenal. The owners were exceptional, offering prompt, friendly communication from booking to departure, making the process seamless. The home’s prime location, a short walk from the beach, gave us easy access to sun, surf, and local spots. It’s perfectly situated to enjoy Oak Island’s charm, with restaurants and shops nearby.The house itself is a masterpiece—spotless, stylish, and welcoming. Its coastal decor and bright, airy spaces felt like a true home. The kitchen was fully equipped for family meals, and the cozy living areas were ideal for relaxing. Amenities were top-notch: high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, plush bedding, and an expansive screened porch with overhead fans were perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks listening to the ocean. Beach chairs, towels, and shibumi were thoughtful touches that enhanced our stay.Every detail, from the comfortable furniture to the pristine condition, showed care and quality. Our family made unforgettable memories, from beach days to game nights. This was one of our best vacation rentals ever, blending luxury and convenience. We’re already planning to return and highly recommend this gem to anyone seeking a perfect Oak Island getaway. Thank you to the owners for sharing this slice of paradise! We will be back SOON! ##### Kevin C. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew B. Jun 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I was surprised by the roominess of the house. I like that the master bedroom is away from the other rooms in the house for a little extra space from the kids. It's also very convenient to the beach, grocery store, shops, and restaurants. Would recommend and definitely would stay here again! ##### Andrew B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard L.

Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Time We had a great time. Weather was great. We had one evening of rain. Days were sunny and hot but the ocean breezes were wonderful. The property couldn't have been better. Hope to visit again in the near future. ##### James H.
