The Ruff Seas was originally built as a fisherman’s cottage after hurricane Hazel. The house is on the woodland side of the island and a quick 7 minute walk to beach. This lot has an extra relaxed feel, as a neighboring lot is undeveloped. The cottage sits back from the street. Behind a picket fence is the porch and it is truly wonderful with floor to ceiling screening and unobstructed views of the flora and fauna. coming in off the porch you enter a very comfortable and open living area that flows into a huge dining table and kitchen beyond. There are so many extras..... A Carport to bring the groceries in when it rains or to put new wax on your surfboard. Outdoor shower to rinse off you and the seashells. Gas grill to prepare that fresh caught flounder. Please come enjoy the pleasures of quiet relaxed island living!

Very homey. I felt as if i was in my own home. The cleanliness, amenities, location was amazing. The property was well maintained and had everything you need.
We srived just before the huricqin made landfall and had to spend a few days more in the house then planed but this house had everything you could think of needing stocked, games/books, cooking items all amazing.
My frequents and family enjoyed our stay at Craigs house! He was super responsive when we had any questions. The houses amenities were great and it was in perfect walking distance to ice cream, playgrounds and restaurants! Will definitely be staying again!
This rental was over the top! All the extras made this rental totally fabulous . Of all the rentals we have stayed in for the past few years, this one was exceptionally well equipped to the point we didn’t even have to unpack some of the items we travel with. The unit was clean, listing was spot on. Communication with owner was great. Location was excellent. . I would definitely go back again and again. Thanks so much for making our mini vacation, not only memorable, but stress free.
So many extras, no need to overpack for a small group
My group had three adults and we loved this house! Close to the beach and the public beach access, kitchen was stocked with essentials, and the screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee and late night hanging out. The cherry on top was the beachsupplies
Absolutely loved staying here. The owner was kind and communicative, and had everything we needed there. The house is in a good location as well and was just beautiful. If you're thinking of staying at Oak Island definitely consider staying here!
Very comfortable place to stay. The amenities are thoughtful - every time I thought we needed something there it was - vacuum, washer, extension cords and outlets where you need them. Even kid books and toys for my young son. Communication was easy to revise our booking and check in and check out was a breeze. We would stay here again!
Peaceful location. The house was very clean and charming. It was well equipped as if you lived there yourself. Close enough to the beach if you decided to walk. Good location to get to shops/stores for any of your needs.
The house was perfect for what we were looking for! Relaxing, quiet, close enough to the beach. The place was thoughtfully filled with anything you might need while staying.
It was very pleasant! We enjoyed how close it was to everything which made it convenient to get to everything! The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean.
