I love this house! We’ve stayed here multiple times and it’s always very clean and I love the neighborhood. It’s so quiet and my pups love the walks we go on every night. The house is in a great location. It’s far enough away from the crowds and noise, but it’s close enough that everything you need is right there.

Beautiful home, clean, and cozy! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals during our stay. We had an issue with the crate we had brought with us for our puppy so having one available on-site was a huge plus that saved us from buying a new one while on vacation. We would definitely stay here again:)

Place was nice and clean. A couple of bikes need repair but 2 were in good shape. Yard needs some maintenence but overall the house was very nice and we really enjoyed our stay. Would book again. Love the sun room and furnishings were very comfortable. Plenty of room for everyone. A little ways from the beach but bike rides and walking area was great. Host communicated quickly and precise.

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☺️

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.

Cozy, clean house at Oak Island

Came here for a family vacation. The house is clean and cozy and we felt comfortable in the space. The house is close to the beach, close enough for a bike ride. There were beach chairs available too. The kitchen is big and functional. Bathrooms were clean and everything worked. When we choose to come back to Oak Island we have no reason to look at any other property, for us this was perfect.

Oak Island Week

All smooth with rental, check-in, and communications with owner. One minor glitch with bedding. But quickly handled by owner. Loved that it is all on one floor. Well appointed place and kitchen and beach stuff that were provided were fine. All in all a very good stay. Oak Island has become our favorite NC beach town and beach.

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.

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.

We had a wonderful time! The house was fabulous. Location was nice and quiet but still able to have access to most places on the island via golf cart (beach is within 10 min). We enjoyed coffee on the front porch in the morning and ate dinner as a family in the sun room. Having access to beach equipment was very nice and the bicycles were a lot of fun! The house is well maintained.Pros: location, cleanliness of the house, access to beach equipment and bicycles, the cocoa chai! Washer and dryer, space in the house for 4 people (could easily fit more), ability to find the house upon arrival to the island, guide left by the homeowners with information about the island, and i'm sure there are more that I am missing.Cons: location of the living room TV was awkward

The property was located in a nice neighborhood of Oak Island. It was wonderful to have a couple of bikes and beach stuff as we traveled by airplane and couldn’t bring all of our toys. There were a few games in the house as well to keep us busy.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Hardwick

Host profile image
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 artist. We renovated the home retaining the character of the stained glass art! We enjoy the open floor plan and extra spaces to enjoy. 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 and the peaceful yard plus walled garden to enjoy. 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!
