The property was clean and well kept and had lots of things for the kids to do while we were there. We enjoyed the location it was private but not to far from the beach. Overall great vacation home.
This place was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway with friends. The space was clean and comfortable. The location was also ideal I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking to spend time on Oak Island!
This was a perfect place for my family for our weekend getaway. The host was very responsive and made our trip very easy. The home was clean and newly renovated inside. Will definitely be back!
We enjoyed our stay on Oak Island. The cottage is clean with good amenities. We loved spending time on the screened porches. Excellent communication with the hosts.
We absolutely loved staying in this house for the quick few days we had at the beach! The communication with the owners was quick and they were so friendly. Everything was as advertised and clean. Would highly recommend to friends and family!
We stayed the weekend for the Run Oak Island race that Saturday.
Owners initiated information before I could ask and if I did have a question they responded quickly and were very accommodating!
House was clean, beds were comfortable and the location worked great! Will stay again for future races!
My friends and I enjoyed our stay at this Cottage. The home was very clean and the remodeling looked very well. The A/C worked great on such a hot week. Plenty of room to sit and enjoy while relaxing from the beach. The communication was great from the owners and I plan to stay at this home again in the near future. Thank you!!!
This property was perfect for our family's long weekend to Oak Island. The kids loved the bunk bed and took turns between that and the queen bed in the other room. The property was very clean upon arrival and there was a nice little "goodie" basket with some snacks, water, etc. The kitchen/dining/living area was nice and open. The walk to the beach was easy, and we walked each day. But if you're not inclined to walk, there is daily public parking for $20. Since this was a short trip we just cooked in each night, but there are many great places to eat nearby.
The property site is accurate in photos. The distance to walk to beach was longer than I expected. However, we simply drove to the beach and easily found paid parking ($20/daily). Beds were comfy. Recommend a blender for the property (we did not bring). I like good water pressure and this property was 👍. Stayed three days. Beach is very nice for walking! Owner communicated very timely in booking and during stay.
This home was peferct for my family of 4 (children ages 5 and 11). Eveything was exactly as advertised. The home was clean and well kept and the host was responsive. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and just a few minutes drive from the beach. A nice place and a great value!
My sun and my daughter wanted to add a few more days to our trip so we could get some fishing in. So we found this place to extend our stay for just us. It was perfect for us.
Great accommodations! It was nice because they had a pack n play for my infant already there, so it was one less thing we had to pack. Super close to the beach, just a short drive!
