Wonderful Vacation Home

The house was wonderful for our stay and the fenced in yard was perfect for our pups! The house was clean and stocked for our needs and the AC worked great. The renovated showers were excellent after a day of soaking in the sun at the beach. Beach access was an ease and the rocking chairs made the sunrises and sunsets very enjoyable. Mike and Chris were very responsive - we look forward to our next stay!

Family get away

This was a perfect location for a family get away. We had easy access to the beach, a beautiful view and plenty of room for everyone to relax. My favorite moments were coffee at sunrise on the porch, even in December.

A great trip

We very much enjoyed this cozy beach house! We are two couples, so it was wonderful to give each couple their own bed/bath area. The location is perfect! We found plenty of restaurants, beaches, and fun at this house. We also spent many hours just sitting on the porch watching the waves. Thank you for the full-size w/d! That’s a huge bonus!

Perfect Getaway

We loved every minute. The house was beautiful! We enjoyed the proximity of the shops and places to eat. The views from the bedrooms and living room were amazing. Luckily, the weather was nice, so we enjoyed eating at the picnic table, rocking on the porch, walking the beach, and relaxing in the hammocks. Our hosts were quick to respond & always very friendly. It was our first visit to Oak Island, and we loved it!

Beautiful View!!

This stay was everything we wanted and more! Right on the ocean, the view was fantastic! Walking on the beach everyday was just what we wanted to do, very calming. The Boy of Summer house was exactly as described and pictured, you will not be disappointed. The town was beautiful to drive around and while (in January) a lot of restaurants were closed for off season, the places we went to were great. You can be confident of getting exactly what you want booking this house!
