Family Time at the Coast

Beautifully updated property with charming accents throughout the home. Remodeled and modernized throughout but many original details like exposed beams and (ornamental) fireplace. Baths tastefully remodeled. Not stark but also not cluttered. Dog friendly flooring/furnishings. Clean. Convenient location. Darling courtyard, secluded. Owners thought of everything needed. Quiet area. Nice walkable area, quick drive or bike ride to the beach.

Great place to stay

We loved this place. It was clean when we arrived, the kitchen was stocked wel with everything you’d need, the location was great and quiet, and the layout of the house made it feel very spacious. Not really anything bad to say. The beach supplies came in handy for sure, although both umbrellas were broken, but not a big deal. Our 2 small kids loved the twin beds in the bedroom and the bed was very comfy. Would love to stay again in the future.

Perfect vacay!

The property was perfect for our family and 2 dogs. House was clean and stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of space and the fenced in lot was perfect for our dogs. Not far from the beach at all. We drove and paid for a week of parking. Close to grocery stores etc. The wagon and beach chairs really came in handy each day! We would definitely stay here again☺️

Redfin review

I really enjoyed staying at Redfin. The house was clean and there were plenty of throws to put on furniture to protect it from my dogs. The kitchen was stocked. The location is close to the beach but you will have ride or drive a bit to find a path to the sand. It is an easy bike ride to the beach. It was great to have access to bikes and beach stuff. But if you are taking your dogs to the beach with you, you will have to get in the car to get to the beach. The only thing that isn’t easy to see in the pictures is that the fully fenced yard is not attached to the house. So, if you’re traveling with dogs, you can’t just let them out unattended to go out. But there is a fully fenced enclosure where your dogs can stay. Overall it was a great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Hardwick

Our family loves the town of Oak Island and of course the beach! We have dogs that are family members too, so having them travel with us is a must. We wanted to share this experience with others and thats why we rent the home.

Why they chose this property

This property was previously owned by an elderly artist. We wanted to give the home the updates that would bring it 'back' but retain the character of its history. We enjoy the open floor plan and hand made stained glass art. Our family grew up in a rural town in New England, so the spacious lot with the grand oaks in the yard---we love! We hope the to create spaces outside to gather when you're not at the beach!

What makes this property unique

The benefits of being here off the beach front is the peaceful walks and ride bikes in the neighborhood. The fenced yard for your dogs. A quiet dead end road without much traffic. When the weather is not great at the beach, it may be different here at the house!
