Perfect location, comfortable vacation home, gorgeous views!

We stayed at Twin Buoys for 3 nights and had the BEST experience there. The home was very clean and comfortable and it had everything we needed. We enjoyed breakfast and dessert each day on the amazing porch, overlooking the gorgeous marsh area. There was a lovely breeze the whole time, so it wasn't buggy at all. Communication with the owner was prompt and she was very friendly and accommodating. My 2 kids especially loved exploring above the marsh area, looking for little crabs...they're now begging for fishing nets for our next visit. I'm a long time Oak Island vacationer, and this is the sweetest house we've ever rented. We can't wait to return to Twin Buoys!

The place was the perfect size for us, getting in was a breeze, my husband loved being able to fish on the canal and I loved the proximity to the beach and Kings in case you need any last minute beach accessories 😁 Laurie was very responsive and a great host!! Would 5/5 recommend and stay here again!!

Absolutely Perfect!

My husband & I took our 21 & 17 year old sons (+ their friends) to stay here for the week. We liked it because of the location & because we wanted to bring our two SMALL dogs for their first vacation. Place was very clean. Walking distance to beach, restaurant, & park. Fishing in the back yard! The young folks enjoyed the social area under the house in the evenings. The large porch provided excellent space for morning coffee & evening meals. The sunset on the canal was gorgeous! Laurie, our host, had so many additional touches that made us feel welcome & dogs too! She has honestly thought of everything to help make your stay more enjoyable. We are thinking of making this our annual place! Just a perfect place.

We loved the house and the location ! Steps from the beach and enjoyed sitting on the back deck. It’s decorated beautifully and the master bath has gorgeous blue tile . We will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie

Host profile image
My family and I live a few hours away and love coming here when it's not rented. We relax at the beach and fish off the backyard! We hope you feel welcome and "at home" yourself here.

Why they chose this property

There is nothing quite like being on the front deck, looking at the ocean view, and being able to hear the waves from the house! Unless you walk to the back deck and get to see a sunset over the canal. It is absolutely beautiful.

What makes this property unique

I feel like we found a perfect location. The beach is just steps away with ocean views and we are backed up to a canal. Neither view will ever be obstructed. Over time, we plan on building a dock so guests can kayak off the back...
