Family beach getaway

The Time in a Bottle home was a perfect spot for our family beach vacation. The view from the well-stocked kitchen is amazing, cozy living room, comfy beds, all the beach toys and chairs you need all made our time memorable! The owner was kind and very responsive. We will certainly keep this house in mind when looking to book our next beach getaway.

Great location

The location and views were perfect, along with plenty of places to sit on the porch. Check-in could have been better - they were having trouble with a lockbox, which, to their credit was fixed during our stay. All the furniture we used was very wien and uncomfortable, which was a bummer. Oberall, really good, just not great.

Great Location

This was our 2nd time staying at Time in a Bottle. This house has incredible views and is in a great location. We enjoyed walking the short distance to The Point, wading through the tide pools and watching the sunset. The house is clean, well organized and well stocked with basic supplies. The owner kept us well informed and responded promptly to our questions. We look forward to visiting again!

. Waking up to a view of the ocean from the panoramic windows is nothing short of amazing. 3 bedrooms and a pullout couch are perfect to accommodate your family or group. The house has all the amenities. Amy is great and receptive. Look forward to staying here again

Quiet ocean views

This house is beautiful, and right on the beach with no neighbors on either side! Only complaint is that the dishwasher is tiny, so we had to run it twice a day. Very comfortable beds and tasteful furnishings. We’ll be back!

Best Birthday Celebration, EVER!!

Our family, ranging in ages 3 to 70, came to stay for a birthday celebration. The house, the location & the hostess could not have been more perfect. The house is spotless, beautifully & comfortably decorated, and so many thoughtful additions from games, the TV options, comfortable beds, nice linens & towels, everything was thought through for a memorable stay. The view is beautiful & so many vantage points!! If you are thinking about this location, you won’t be disappointed

Fantastic Beach House

This was the best beach house we’ve stayed at. Great location if you like shelling, which was our main activity or just to enjoy the beach. The views from all rooms was fantastic. We saw dolphins swim by everyday. I was able to ride one of the beach cruisers to The Point for a couple of hours to shell. This house has everything you will need for a wonderful beach vacation. Nancy was wonderful and responded very quickly. We will definitely be back.

I stayed here for a week with my husband and 3 kids for spring break. Nancy was a great host. She communicated well and made sure we had everything we needed. We all loved the house. The decor was beautiful, had just enough privacy, and amazing views from everywhere in the house. This place would be hard to beat and was the perfect place for us to spend a week on the beach!

Awesome View

We stayed at Time in a Bottle for our first vacation on Oak Island and are so glad that we chose this property! The ocean views from the house are so amazing that even the children were impressed. The house was very clean and comfortable with lots of amenities. We enjoyed the easy access to the beach, especially with small children. Nancy, the property manager, was easily reached and quite helpful. This house has spoiled us so much that we would not want to stay anywhere else on Oak Island!

An Amazing Vacation

Our week in Oak Island was amazing! “Time in a Bottle” is such a charming house in a perfect location on a quiet stretch of beach near the point. The house looks professionally decorated and it is extremely clean. Tons of windows offer the best views. Nancy was easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. So much is provided with the house (chairs, bikes, beach games, laundry detergent, beach towels, and SO much more) that packing was a breeze. We can’t wait to return!!
