Very nice

We had a great week. House is lovely and well-equipped. Our only minor complaints were the lack of space in the downstairs bedroom (a Queen bed would fit better) and having to duck under the boardwalk to get to the beach. (I hit it with my face on the last day!) We also had some trouble controlling the downstairs thermostat but we made it work. But the short distance to the beach was fantastic. The large upper and lower decks were wonderful. Would definitely rent again.

A Nice Relaxing stay

We absolutely loved staying here. Mr.Whicker was extremely welcoming. Vance was so helpful with recommending places to visit and places to eat! Also, recommending the best fresh Seafood market Haag's. We visited and purchased from twice and had a wonderful feast. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. The best we've slept in a long time. Oak island is a peaceful area and not fast paced. Very Relaxing and friendly. We loved our stay and highly recommended it. Especially recommending you stay at this location ! feast.

Great Property

We loved our week stay at Work Will Wait. It was very clean and well equipped. The starter kit of toilet paper, paper towels, soaps, laundry and dishwasher packets were so helpful. The beds were comfortable. Jackie was easy to work with and responded to my questions in a timely manner.

Pure Relaxation

Communication with the owner was exceptional! Upon entering the house, there was a small welcome package containing cleaning supplies. Also, each bathroom had liquid hand soap. This might be a small thing, but it just shows the courtesy of the owners. Simple, but welcoming! The house was exactly as pictured. We had two infants (one 4 months and one 15 months) so we had two pack and plays. One was very easily set up in the master bedroom. The other one was a bit tighter in another bedroom, but we were able to make it work (and no fault of the property since the second infant was a surprise after our reservations were made). The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We loved that everyone could sit at one table for eating. The decks on this house are unbelievable. When we weren't sitting on the beach or in the water, we were sitting on the decks. The outside shower was great for washing on the sand. This kept everyone from tracking sand into the house. What a great addition! We would definitely stay here again!

Just what was needed

A fabulous property overlooking the ocean, Work Will Wait provided us exactly what we needed! We could enjoy the beautiful, well-stocked kitchen for a meal at home or visit any one of several fabulous restaurants within a 20 - 25 min drive. The views from the house were spectacular. Our visit here was truly nourishing for the soul!

This was our second vacation at Work Can Wait. The home is very well kept, and furnished.

The home sits right on the beach with huge decks for relaxing, enjoying the nice ocean breeze, and watching the sunrises and sunsets. The beach is just a few steps away so you can just go for a short stroll or make day of it. The owners go out of their way to make sure you have a pleasant stay. You won't be disappointed.

Great stay!

This was our second time at Oak Island and first at the property. The house is right on the beach making it super convenient for families with young kids. The house was well stocked with items we needed during our stay and we really enjoyed the outdoor decks. We had a couple small issues during our stay but the owner was incredibly responsive, kind and helpful. We would stay here again.

Wonderful beach house and owners

We have been visiting Oak Island for several years and this has been our favorite house! Interaction with the owners very easy. The house was very clean and in excellent condition; stocked with whatever we needed. Beach was just steps away and easy to access from the walkway. The décor was very tasteful and simple. Hurricane Dorian made us leave early which was a big disappointment but we hope to stay here again next year! Thanks to the owners for their hospitality.
