incredible Views & Gorgeous Interior
This place was so thoughtfully designed from the lovely interior design down to the small baskets of amenities and beach towels in the closet. The house was incredibly clean, fresh and well stocked. The guide had all the information we needed and I loved the simplicity of QR codes for all the tech instructions one might need. The large windows provided great light and views. I honestly think the photos on the site don’t do justice to the reality of the place - its so nicely done! My only suggestion is to add Celtic Creamery to the list of great ice cream places suggested. ;) I highly recommend this house and would go there again in a heartbeat. Also, the hosts were super nice and responsive.

Wonderful getaway!
We really enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. Lots of little extras in the welcome baskets in the kitchen and bathrooms. We cooked fresh seafood on the Blackstone grill for a relaxing night in. Really enjoyed hanging on the deck with a bar with stools facing the ocean. We had some issues with weather but we adapted and still had a wonderful time. Ayla is an excellent host and quick to respond to questions. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Amazing NC coastal property!
The house is exactly as described, newly renovated & clean. Secure. Beautiful views. The private boardwalk to the beach along with the outside showers make beach-going convenient and easy. Beach supplies, towels & more were provided. Hosts were super communicative. Would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful accommodations!
We were really impressed with how fresh and new everything was. Our host had left us so many amenities, about all we had needed to pack was our swimsuits. There are nice beach chairs and towels there for use. There's enough kitchenware and utensils to fix breakfast and most meals. There's was even a really nice grill if you prefer to grill out. The only "problem" we had was the place looks very recently renovated and I think they haven't gotten around to installing clothes hanger rods in the closets, but it was no big deal. The small bedroom could also use a little dresser or some other clothing storage unit. We really loved this place and its views and beach access. Our host was great and kept in touch making sure we were OK. I highly recommend it unless someone in your group has mobility issues as there are a lot of steps to negotiate.

About the host

Hosted by Ayla Vulgamott

Host profile image
We acquired Oyster Inlet in 2023 with the vision of creating a family-friendly escape. What began as a simple renovation quickly evolved into a complete rebuild. This adventure in construction and design was paralleled by our journey into parenthood with the birth of our twins.

Despite the challenges, we are proud to offer a place where guests can create lasting memories, and we hope Oyster Inlet brings as much joy to your family as it does to ours. Visit us soon and follow our journey on Instagram or Facebook @OysterInlet!

Why they chose this property

The home is beachfront, and has a private boardwalk out to the sand. You can't beat the views and convenience of the location for a beach vacation.

What makes this property unique

As DIY renovators we put the upmost thought into design elements that our guests will value. This property was designed with your vacation in mind. Rather than outsourcing management of the property out to a management company we stay involved in the day to day operations to ensure our guests have a memorable experience.
