Cozy Comfort

We enjoyed our stay—the house was comfortable and worked for our needs. My parents needed a one-level property and we needed a pet friendly option. The kitchen was well equipped and there were extra touches like a basket of suntan lotion to share. The screened in porch was a nice space to relax in as well. Thanks!

Shark Shack didn't Bite

This property is perfect for long or short term stays. Extremely clean and the beds were comfortable. Very nicely updated appliances and other kitchen equipment. The screened in porch and the grill area were used everyday. Close to the beach and other amenities of Oak Island. Owner is very responsive and though we had no major issues, when we asked a question got a prompt response. It was our first time to Oak Island and we will be back and chose this delightful home to stay. Our 2 Westies had enough room to romp and they enjoyed the stay as well.
