Last week of july

Arrived at the property with a seamless check-in and a cool (nice withe the July heat), clean house. As a coupe the house was a good size and would be good for a small family also. Thoroughly enjoyed or visit.

Fabulous Rental!

My family and I absolutely loved our stay here. The house is clean, well stocked and oh so adorable. The new covered front porch is a beautiful and functional addition. The neighborhood is quiet and close to shops and restaurants. I can not say enough wonderful things about this house!

Cozy House

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay at this house. Our daughters loved that they each had their own bed and bedroom! Our host was very responsive with a couple minor issues. Super short drive to the beach!

Stellar Experience

We loved everything about this house! Cozy yet plenty of room for everyone and everything. Was exceptionally clean, never saw a single bug inside. The screened in back porch was perfect for having morning coffee. It was so convenient being so close to town and the beach. The hosts were easy to communicate with and let us know about fun happenings in the area. Can’t wait to stay again!

First timers to oak island

The inkwell was adorable, perfect for first timers to oak island! Small walk to the beach- we typically had someone from our group drop us off at the beach entrance with our gear and have others walk. would have rented a golf cart if staying awhile. The home was cute, perfect amount of space! Wonderful outdoor shower! Had all the kitchen gadgets needed and plenty of board games :) we had a great time! Destiny was wonderful to communicate with.

Our stay at the Inkwell

We checked in on June 12 to spend a week with our daughter before she moves to Japan for two years. We enjoyed our time. The Inkwell is a nice place in a good spot BUT it was not clean. The floors had dead palmetto bugs and a toenail in the right bedroom. Not ideal to start a vacation. I realize that owners rely on cleaning companies to clean for them but it is the most important thing with the rental.
