Quick weekend

We loved the location, it is kind of tucked away off the main road & quiet. The canal was great for bird watching & sunset watching. We did use the firepit because the weather was cold!! The layout of the house was perfect….we will stay here again!

Amazing property and host!!!

David & Darla were great host. We had an issue with checking in due to a death in the family and they did everything to help us. The house is absolutely gorgeous. The bedrooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable and the showers are hot with great water pressure!! Being able to walk out to the dock and hangout by the water is nice. We sat on the swing and just enjoyed the morning sun. The wives loved the screened in porch; they enjoyed being able to just relax and read their books. The choice of restaurants around Oak Island are exceptional. We highly recommend The Break for breakfast. We will definitely be staying here again!!!

Excellent vacation home

My family and I really had a great vacation. The house was clean and met our expectations. The property owner contacted me even before I could ask any questions from the check in to combination to unlock storage bin loaded with tons of beach fun activities. We really enjoyed the canal dock where we caught some really nice fish. We catch and release so we had tons of fun. Thank you for the hospitality and looking forward to booking again. Thanks from The Britt family

Birthday weekend getaway

Beautiful home very modern, very nice pirepit with a grill grate on top for cooking, we had a great time by the firepit roasting marshmallows and the tvs are actually decent sized in all rooms but the "kids" it doesnt have one. We could have used more towels that and no light on the dock are my only flaws for the place but they are adding lights and more according to the owner. So I'm excited to see it finished completely

Weekend Getaway

We live in Wilmington, just one hour north and we were looking for a quick weekend getaway. Fell in love with the photos online and even more in love with the property once we arrived! Absolutely gorgeous landscape with a fire pit to die for and close proximity to the river! We had fantastic weather and enjoyed walking to the beach, enjoyed quiet morning coffee on the porch and swing. 10/10 recommend for your stay in OKI!

Great rental!

This is one of the best houses I’ve rented in Oak Island. The host was amazing….very communicative and quick to respond to my questions. House was very clean and comfortable. The dock was great for fishing and crabbing. It’s a short drive (under 15 min) to the beach and close to everything. We would definitely rent this house again. Thank you Darla for your hospitality!

Perfect location for a break from the beach

This was by far the best beach rental we’ve stayed in. We chose it because of the dock and access to the canal. We like to take a break from the beach but the fact that we could still be on the water while doing it was perfect for us. We brought our paddle boards and had an absolutely beautiful afternoon on the canal. The house is stunning, the large dining room table was perfect for our family to enjoy food and games. We relaxed with our coffee every morning on the porch overlooking the canal—just beautiful! There was plenty of space for everyone, much bigger than it appears in photos. They don’t do it justice! We will absolutely be back!

Great Stay for Those Who Love the Beach and to Fish

The property was extremely well kept and clean. We had access to bicycles for a family ride. My husband and daughter especially loved the dock on Davis Canal to fish on. My daughter caught 14 fish. We also caught some blue crabs and a few American Eels. We also loved the tankless hot water heater, so none of us ran out of hot water after our days at the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by David & Darla Bermeo

Host profile image
We are David and Darla Bermeo, a Mortgage broker and Microbiologist, respectively, residing here in North Carolina.
We have 4 beautiful children, all grown, except for our little Oscar (10yr). When we’re not running around with family chores, we love to go to Oak Island Beach (OKI). Here you find us fishing and kayaking on the canal or eating at one of the awesome restaurants in and around OKI. As a couple, David and I are quite the “Salsa-Duo” (David is native Colombian) who love to visit every Salsa club we can find!

We have a motto, “It’s all apart of the journey “.

We hope to make this part of your journey a memorable tranquil experience you’ll want to revisit again and again….

Why they chose this property

Oak Island is a very unique and relaxing area. Less touristy and tranquil. There is a good mix of activities and restaurants to keep you busy on the Island. Why I chose this property and area is due to the view from the back porch. On the deck it just screams a "Nicholas Sparks" novel.

What makes this property unique

Casa Sea Esta offers you comfort and style within 12 minutes walk to the beach or 3 min short ride. The views of Davis Canal on your private dock will take your breath away. Custom fire pit and beach bicycles for your enjoyment. Peace and tranquility at its best, at nights chill on the upper level porch and hear the ocean breeze or simply enjoy nature.
