Spring Break

Great location , quiet and clean accommodations and the pool out back was perfect and such a nice addition to the property. Great place to kick back and relax for a week with kids and close enough to town for anything you need. Golf cart was awesome to get to and from the beach. Awesome hosts that were quick to respond to needs and small issues. Highly recommend

Would definitely stay again

The house was clean and nicely decorated for Christmas. Kids loved the bunk beds and the golf cart was nice for exploring. We go to OKI every Christmas and we would definitely stay again. The location was perfect for us as we had family close by so it was nice to hop on the golf cart and go visit.Best rental we have found so far.

Great place

Our family had a wonderful time at Ruff Tide. The pool was so refreshing and we spent a lot of our time there. The property manager was very accommodating. The six seater golf cart was not going to be available so he found us another one to rent and then reimbursed us. This was definitely a great place.

Great stay!

Our family enjoyed our stay! The house is located in a quiet area of the island. We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the home. The addition of a golf cart helps with transportation around the island, especially to the beach. We plan to stay again soon, maybe in the warmer weather so we can use the pool!

Home Away From Home!!!

Starting with the check in process it was a breeze! The property manager answered the phone on the 2nd ring I think I was more in SHOCK than anything!! He was pleasant and answered any questions I had. James was a LIFE-SAVER!!! After 15 hours on the road we just wanted to relax. The house was AS DESCRIBED (NICE LAYOUT) we were pleasantly surprised with a greetings bag full of things. The stores weren't too far and the beach was RIGHT down the road! After you get past the stairs you will be good. The areas to sit outside were all BEAUTIFUL! THANKS FOR HOSTING MY CREW & I!

Great Stay! Would book again!

My family and I enjoyed this home it had all the amenities needed and then some. The pool was awesome and our family really enjoyed it. The 6 person golf cart was an added bonus and made our trips to the beach easy and convenient. The set up with the outdoor television and seating was also nice. The management was very responsive to any questions or needs. We would gladly rebook again the next time we are in Oak Island.

Beautiful vacation home

Our vacation home was beautiful. It was nice and clean. We loved the pool. It was so refreshing at the end of the day. The outside porch overlooking the pool was the best. I sat out there in the evenings. We watched the squirrels jumping from tree to tree. Also lots of woodpeckers it was at a perfect location. We took the golf cart to the beach. Also to a lot of the shops and ice cream shops. It was so easy to get around, instead of driving our van everywhere. This was our first time at oak island. We will most likely come back again. Thank you for allowing us to spend our family vacation in your beautiful beach house

Perfect for a family

Booking and check-in was smooth and our first impression was a thrill! The house was new, clean, and modern. It had everything we needed, and the Publix is only a few miles down the main road. There were a few minor things not exactly as expected, but it was a quiet and perfect spot for a Thanksgiving family retreat.
