We had the absolute best family vacation! Kids loved the pool, beach and games. Adults loved the wonderful ocean view and breeze. It was close to everything, but we rarely left because the house was so well stocked. Hope to stay again!
Just a perfect beach home. Magnificently clean well stocked home. Loved the way each kitchen had every gadget from a cocktail Muddler to a countertop ice maker.Loved the pool area and all the fun games.Will stay again. Thank you for making our trip extra special!!!
The home was very well equipped and the owners were great regarding communication. The beach is right across the street and the house has everything you need- plenty of space for a large group to spread out. We love the covered picnic table area for group dinners.
This place is beautiful and equipped with everything you need in the kitchen and for the beach! The owners are fabulous and the house is in a perfect location. Highly recommend staying here, you definitely get what you pay for :)

This property was amazing! Beautiful, well stocked in all aspects - kitchen, beach items, games, bikes - this place had it all. Nancy was great. We had 3 generations of our family staying and all enjoyed it immensely. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

John...we agree, Steps Away Get Away is a GREAT place to stay. Thank you for sharing your experience! It does have a very convenient location with restaurants, shopping and the beach just "Steps Away"...not to mention that Middleton Park is just across the street. We hope you will stay with us again soon!
What a great house and location! The owners were helpful and provided everything you could want. It has a beautiful beach view in front and a park with ball field, playground, and splash pad for the kids. Although there are two kitchens, our group of thirteen only used the one on the top floor. Would highly recommended this property.
House was in beautiful location steps from the water. Kids loved the pool. Tons of room and everything you needed to enjoy your stay. I had never stayed in a house that really had everything we needed and more. Could have packed much lighter!

Love this home. Clean, well laid out, great location for beach access and walkable shopping (groceries)! Didn’t use our car for a week. The park behind us was great for the kids also. We will be back again for sure!

Kevin...we are so happy your family booked Steps Away Get Away for a second time! We do think our location is convenient and not having to use your car for a week is definitely a bonus. Cleanliness is definitely a priority of ours and we thank you for noting that in your review. We look forward to your next visit!
A perfect house for a large family with lots of kids. A great location very close to the beach and right across the street from the park and splash pad. We love Oak Island and this house has it all! We can’t wait to see you in 2024.
We are three generations ranging in age from 5 to 77. We especially enjoyed the beach house decks and the proximity to the beach. There was more than enough room to spread out yet be together for fun times and conversation. Also, the grandchildren loved the elevator.

Peg, we are so glad you enjoyed your time "At Steps Away Get Away"...we agree that the house is perfect for a guest of any age...with the park and splash pad behind the house and the beach in front, with views and sounds of the waves, there is something for everyone! We hope you stay with us again!
Had a total of 12 in our party. This property was great for all of us. Plenty of room to spread out but also great spaces for all to gather. Nicely decorated, great location. Thoroughly enjoyed out stay. Property Manager Nancy is top notch; Very friendly, responsive and professional. One of our best rentals in the many years we have visited OKI. Highly recommend.
This property was PERFECTLY equipped for making memories; it had everything that we needed to accommodate our children and grandchildren. The location was perfect (across the street from a beach access and a lovely public park directly behind with a mini water park for the little kids). The amenities on the property were great (fully equipped kitchen, grill, games, beach equipment, bicycles, etc.). And the host was easily accessible and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property.

Carla...thank you for your 5-star review! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and found all the amenities useful. The mini-water park is definitely a hit with our guests! We hope you will stay with us again very soon!
This home was amazing; clean, spacious, beautiful. The views are amazing. We had a wonderful time gathering with a large group, in many areas of the home, inside and out. Each family had their own space. The attention to detail in this home was top notch. The location is terrific for both elderly, who can’t get to the beach daily, and children with the field, park and splash pad steps away. Would definitely recommend this location or stay there again!!

We had the most wonderful week at Steps Away! It is literally steps away from everything you need. The location couldn’t be more perfect with the beach directly across, Middleton Park directly behind(with playground, splash pad, ball field and Friday night concert)and Publix a block away! It was perfect for our family that ranged in age from 95 to 8 months! The house is also well equipped with everything needed! It truly was a wonderful vacation week. We can’t wait to return!

Holly, we hope you and your family will stay with us again soon! Thank you for taking the time to review your stay and all your compliments. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and that you took advantage of all the activities at Middleton Park. The location is hard to beat!
Spent a week with my brothers, spouses, parents and our kids (3 generations (teens to 80+). House is exactly as listed. Great location (beautiful ocean views and an access directly across the street), nicely decorated, great shape and extremely well stocked with anything you could ever need and more. Elevator was very helpful for loading / unloading and those who struggle with stairs.

Steve, thank you for reviewing your stay. It is great to know that the extras we provide are found to be useful. You are welcome back and we hope to host you again!
Great house with a lot of space for our big family vacation. Only steps from the beach that were made easy with two big beach carts. The beach chairs, umbrellas and toys were in great condition. Double kitchens and washer/dryer were a plus for everyone to have their space. The location was convenient with shopping nearby but out of sight from the home. Had the pleasure of meeting the host and the owners who are wonderful people that are very friendly and responded within minutes to any questions. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a laid back beach vacation.

Kevin, I am so glad the opportunity arose for all of us to meet...you have such a nice family! Thank you for taking the time to review our property and for all the compliments. The two separate units definitely give guests the option for additional privacy. We are glad the beach amenities came in handy. We hope your family will stay with us again!
Pictures do not do this property justice. This was a beautiful, comfy, and spacious property. My family and I met to celebrate Thanksgiving and we couldn’t have asked for more. The property was very clean and stocked with everything needed for a vacation filled with fun. Nancy is amazing, kind, and very personable. She was very easy to reach and immediately responsive to my messages. My family and I had never visited Oak Island prior to this trip, but we most definitely will return and wouldn’t stay in any other place.
