A slice of heaven

Everything was immaculate! Such a cozy, homey, spacious home with a view of the ICW from all of the rooms! We used the fishing dock..caught one fish, but just the peacefulness of sitting and watching so many birds, an occasional boat and we even got treated to a dolphin sighting while enjoying coffee! Maybe just bring your own knives, like we did, and some measuring cups and measuring spoons if you decide to cook. Otherwise, you really just need to bring yourself, friends or family and prepare to relax!!!

Very relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

Communication with owner was superb. Our family loved the location and layout of the house was exceptional. Not to forget about the private dock. My son and grandson had their bellies full of fishing. My wife commented this was one of the most beautiful properties we’ve stayed at during our family vacations ( that speaks for itself).

Completely impressed!

Our visit was awesome! So many activities for everyone: Paddle boards, fishing, biking and ping pong or just some lazy hammock porch relaxing with a good book. Beautiful outdoor scenery! The large living area and open kitchen allowed our family to all be together, cook our favorite foods and share our lives from this past year. Truly memorable. Special thanks to our wonderful host, Lisa!

Just perfect!

We stayed in mid-August for a long weekend of fishing at lounging at the beach. The home fit our extended family of 7 beautifully. The neighborhood was quiet and well-maintained. The home itself was so inviting, with a well-stocked kitchen (bring your own knives), comfortable congregating areas, and beautiful views. Lisa was so helpful and communicative! It was fun fishing off the dock and catching a few blue crabs! 10/10 recommend.

The location was great, not too close but not too far from the beach. The house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed! The outdoor living was where we spent the most time, relaxing in the screened room, fishing off the dock and we saw dolphins more than once! Owner communication was great, she initiated contact and was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again!!

Very Relaxing Vacation Property

We had a very enjoyable stay at the property. Very well maintained and furnished. Stocked with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We loved the screened in back porch overlooking the inland waterway and beautiful back yard. The neighborhood was the perfect place for riding bikes along the waterway. Met several of the locals in the neighborhood while walking the dog. Everyone was so friendly. A five minute drive to public beach access. Close to all the wonderful restaurants on the island. (Our favorites - Salt64, Castucci's, Kai Joe's) Our host was great and sent messages to make sure we arrived ok and had everything we needed. Highly recommend this property.

Amazing Family Thanksgiving Holiday!

This property was the perfect, cozy home to spend our family Thanksgiving. We had never been to North Carolina before and we fell in love with Oak Island. The home was perfect in terms of location, space for everyone, amenities, lots of extra items provided for recreation and there was even a beautiful Christmas tree inside to greet us once we arrived! You could sense the love and warmth in this family home. The beach was easy to get to and we loved watching the boats pass by in the early mornings and evenings from the porch. We even caught a few fish of our own from the pier. The owner is very friendly and easy to communicate with all through the process, even before making the booking, as we had a few questions about our son bringing his dog. She even checked on us upon our arrival to make sure we were finding everything okay. We would highly recommend this beautiful home for anyone looking for a memorable vacation - we are definitely hoping to return! Thank you - we will cherish the family memories we made during this vacation!

Quiet and relaxing waterway home

It was the perfect spacious place for us. Everybody in family except husband loves to fish. Pier made easy access for that. We saw an eagle twice, caught a few fish, and several large blue crabs. Linens were all very fresh and clean, as well as blankets and pillows. I sure hope we can revisit in future!

Peaceful place

Our week long stay was very quiet and peaceful and exactly what we needed. It’s in a lower traffic area, family neighborhoods, and friendly folks everywhere. The home is full of charm and character. We spent as much time weather permitting on the pier and dock ( not just trying but actually catching fish), such a treat. We cook in mostly and had anything you could need in the kitchen. Our host was quick to respond, professional and gracious. Check in and out was a breeze. I hope to be back in spring to make more memories there. Thank you for sharing your home.

What a great rental!!

We had the best time staying here as soon as we entered the house to the minute we left. It felt like home yet so elegant and comfortable. Everything you could want or need was provided for us. The dock and the pier were fantastic! We never caught such a variety of fish and caught enough for two meals! We saw dolphins, endless boats going by and watching the pelicans dive over and over again was very entertaining. It was quiet and relaxing staying here. Check in and check out was so easy. Lisa is a super host and I would highly recommend renting her place. You won't be disappointed!! Thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful treasure. It was one of the best vacations we have taken yet! The Dunn family
