Relaxing beach getaway

W have had such a wonderful experience. The hosts were easy to communicate with both before and during our trip. It's a beautiful home, very clean and is just as advertised on the site. It has a huge wraparound porch where we spent a lot of our time and the outdoor fans kept it comfortable even in the heat. Our first time using vrbo and we are very happy we did.

The Perfect House

I usually feel like I make a few sacrifices to stay at the beach. In this case there were none (unless you just need to be closer to the beach). The rooms were spacious and nicely appointed. The kitchen is amazing if you like to cook. The real gem of this house is the wrap around screened in porch. It was such a pleasure to stay in such a nice house with great space and great walkable views of the sound.

Family Vacation

We absolutely loved our stay at Oak Island. Jen was a fantastic host. She was helpful from day one of booking all the way up until our checkout. I had told her about how excited my two little boys were about going to the beach. Upon our arrival, we found toys laid out for our boys on the dining room table and a sweet message on vrbo from her about the beach toys! Our favorite thing about the house was definitely the porch. My husband and I both loved having our morning coffee and quiet time out there. Our boys always chose to eat out there any chance they could get. We had almost all of our meals out there! The house was clean, organized, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was a dream to cook in! I also really enjoyed using the gas grill on the back deck. The house was well stocked on pans, utensils, cups, plates, towels, and more. Jen provided sheets for us which was a blessing! Having a house with so many things provided helped make the stay that much better. It was the perfect house for our family vacation! Our family would definitely love to stay there again in the future.

We loved our stay here. The kitchen was wonderful and fully stocked with everything needed. Beds were very comfortable. We loved the screen in porch and it was only a 5 minute drive to the beach and shops. Parking is available at the beach for 5 an hour. The host was very quick to respond with any questions. Great place, would definitely recommend and are hoping to come back next year!

Wonderful house in nice location

We had two families ( four adults, two 3 year olds and a baby) in the house and it was a perfect fit. The house is well appointed, had anything kitchen related we could have needed, clean, and in a quiet area of the island. The drive to beach access is short as are restaurants and Food Lion. We would definitely stay again.

My stay

The community is very nice, and the house was very nice. But I will say there were no sheets on the beds and I was never notified to bring my own. They try to charge 35 for you to use their sheets they have in the closets.
