Great vacation house

Amazing GraySEA was better than the pictures show. It was the perfect house for our family, we had 6 adults and 2 young children and had plenty of space for everyone to spread out without feeling like we were on top of each other. Also really appreciated that each bedroom had their own toilet and sink with just a shared shower! It was so nice that we didn’t have to bring any beach supplies with us and the kids loved playing with the tricycle and other toys, the storage room is fully stocked with anything you could need for the beach or driveway/yard play. My dad who has some minor mobility issues had a bit of a hard time navigating the sand trail from the stairs to the beach, that would be a problem anywhere, we just didn’t realize how long the trail was. But that didn’t stop him and we all enjoyed beautiful fall weather on the beach. Overall we had a great trip and would definitely consider staying again.

Great house, great location!

We had a wonderful time at the Gray Sea. The location was great! Beach wasn’t crowded at all and we got to see tons of sea turtle nests and even talk to the Sea Turtle Watch group one night. The house was well stocked with games and anything you might need for the beach. The layout of the house is great with each bedroom having its own toilet and vanity attached to the Jack and Jill shower. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful house, beautiful view

This house was wonderful, kitchen appliances and utensils were plentiful. It was a great house for kids. My son was 18 months during our stay and there were no unsecured nick knacks for him to break. Plenty of open space for him to run around. The kitchen even had plates, sippy cups, and kid utensils if we had forgotten them.

Amazing GraySEA

This home was more than we could have expected from a rental! Every need and detail was completely anticipated all the way down to the canine visitors. We didn’t have our pets with us but they would have been just as cared for as our children! Two moms and 3 daughters (8,8,9). The home is very well cared for and maintained as well as impeccably decorated! LOTS of open space so even though it’s a classical beach house layout, it’s very open with plenty of space for everyone to find their own corner to relax. Beautifully located on the private end of the island with water views from every window. We can’t wait to go back! The owner was very kind and completely accessible, altho we didn’t need a thing! The house is in great shape!

Could Not Have Been a Better Week

My mom wanted to get away with just her 3 daughters and her grandchildren (which meant no loud and crazy Son-in-Laws allowed). We so looked forward to relaxing days on the beach and quiet evenings playing games and reading at night...and it was just that...and perfect. This was the first vacation without my Dad who passed away two years ago. I also celebrated my 1-yr. cancer-free anniversary while we were there by taking a long walk on the beach. The week could not have been more wonderful. The house was perfect, so well equipped and organized. The quiet street and community allowed the peacefulness we sought. Nancy was great with communicating before/during/and after the trip. We definitely hope to be back...without the husbands again!

Beautiful views, quiet, very clean

I have been vacationing in Oak Island for 40 years and this was one of my favorite stays. Caswell Beach is just 5-10 min from East Beach Oak Island and much more private. Ocean front is always nice to have but to have waterway views from the back of the house is even better! The lighthouse was a short walk (8 houses down), very private beach (even on Memorial weekend), and the house was super clean. We brought a lot of kitchen items but did not need any of them. Paper plates, power towels, aluminum foil, etc was provided. Super spacious living area with extra seating/chairs between the dining area and main area with large TV. Nice outdoor space on the front of the house with table and furniture, and back of the house with chairs/furniture. I am sure that we will be staying here again!

Spring Break with Grandkids

It was an amazing experience from the moment we booked the home. Location was perfect and quiet. Bonus was having the Beach as our backyard! The layout of the home was also perfect for our family. Having all the bedrooms on one floor worked out nicely with our 3 grandchildren. We didn’t need for anything. Nancy our host made sure we were comfortable and she was always available and quick to answer any questions. She also made our stay stress free so we could all relax and have a wonderful time. I would recommend this home 100% to anyone traveling to Caswell Beach. We will definitely stay again!

Exceeded Expectations!

We have stayed at countless rentals over the years and this is definitely one of the best. Excellent location, virtually a private beach, well stocked, beach games, plenty of chairs,umbrellas, and bikes available. Will definitely return! If you want a commercialized area, then this is not for you. If you want a fairly secluded area, with direct access to a nice beach, with limited public access then this is for you. Exceeded our expectations!

One of the best NC has to offer!

We have been renting homes throughout NC several times per year for well over a decade and this may just be the best one yet -- from the wonderful communication from the host to the amenities and cleanliness to the spectacular location. Nancy worked with us last minute when our other rental had a heating issue and couldn't be used. She was very understanding and always responded quickly. This home has everything you need for a beach visit - a room filed with beach goodies (chairs, games, toys, bikes), plenty of towels, an outdoor shower, a walkway directly to the beach, well-appointed kitchen with high quality appliances, comfortable beds, and plenty of common space inside and out. The house is located on a dead end road on Caswell Beach near the Oak Island lighthouse which makes it very quiet (both on the street and on the beach). Don't hesitate - book it while you can!

Fall escape

My wife and I have rented many properties at Caswell Beach over the past 35 years and none better than AmazingGraySEA. The home was very clean, comfortable, well furnished and stocked, organized, and beautifully decorated. Our family was not able to join us this year but I hope they get the opportunity in the future to enjoy this wonderful home with us.
