Perfect extended family home

We rented this beautiful home for our family to stay in during our son’s wedding. It was a wonderful experience being able to have parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins under the same roof. We had a lovely visit. It was large enough to accommodate us very comfortably with room to spare. Incredibly responsive hosts! Would highly recommend!

Oak Island Runcation

We brought down a group of runners and their families for the BAM Oak Island Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, and 1 mile. This was the PERFECT house to accommodate our group. Very clean and pretty. The hot tub was a huge hit! The kitchen and dining spaces were great for preparing and serving large meals. The bedrooms and living spaces were very comfortable! The owners were great and quick to respond. Will definitely stay at the Sandcastle house again!

We had our entire bridal party stay here and it was simply perfect! Everyone had their own space. We enjoyed hanging out in the hot tub, watching basketball in the living room, and even playing some of the games they provided! The hosts were so nice and always responded quickly.

Large family vacation stay

Our large family had an amazing week staying at this beautiful house! It is roomy, very clean and well-situated between the beach and main road. We loved that we could walk to the beach easily, then come back and hang in the pool. If we needed anything from Larry, he was very quick to respond and gracious. I would highly recommend this property for a large family gathering. It was perfect for our week in Oak Island!

Great Family Weekend

The property was just as described. It was very clean. Elevator was super useful in carrying in luggage and groceries. Beach is just a short walk away. We loved our stay. The only thing we could have possibly wanted that we didn’t have were a few extra towels and washcloths.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Krynski

Host profile image
Rose and I are local to Oak Island, and happy to address any questions or concerns that may arise during your stay.

Why they chose this property

We moved to the area nearly 20 years ago, and we love Oak Island. We have been watching this home for a while as we already had two additional rentals on the Island (Wine and Roses- 6 bedrooms and Rhapsody in Blue - 7 bedrooms). We saw this beautiful property was available and couldn't pass it up.

What makes this property unique

As this home typically accommodates larger groups, we are happy to offer you role playing kits, upon request. This includes murder mysteries for the adults and other mysteries to solve for the younger group.
