Fun in the Sun!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home on the Davis Canal in Oak Island. One of the highlights was the easy access to the canal via the private dock—perfect for fishing, launching kayaks, and enjoying the peaceful setting. Our whole crew had a blast paddling along the waterway and spotting a variety of local wildlife—it was such a unique and memorable way to experience the area.The house itself was spotless and very well-maintained, which made settling in so easy and comfortable. Everything was clean, thoughtfully arranged, and we had enough space to suit our needs. The outdoor fire pit provided ample smores and memories. A big shoutout to our host, David, who provided outstanding customer service throughout—from quick communication to helpful tips about the area. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-cared-for getaway on the canal!

Quick weekend

We loved the location, it is kind of tucked away off the main road & quiet. The canal was great for bird watching & sunset watching. We did use the firepit because the weather was cold!! The layout of the house was perfect….we will stay here again!

About the host

Host profile image
We are David and Darla Bermeo, a Mortgage broker and Microbiologist, respectively, residing here in North Carolina.
We have 4 beautiful children, all grown, except for our little Oscar (10yr). When we’re not running around with family chores, we love to go to Oak Island Beach (OKI). Here you find us fishing and kayaking on the canal or eating at one of the awesome restaurants in and around OKI. As a couple, David and I are quite the “Salsa-Duo” (David is native Colombian) who love to visit every Salsa club we can find!

We have a motto, “It’s all apart of the journey “.

We hope to make this part of your journey a memorable tranquil experience you’ll want to revisit again and again….

Why they chose this property

Oak Island is a very unique and relaxing area. Less touristy and tranquil. There is a good mix of activities and restaurants to keep you busy on the Island. Why I chose this property and area is due to the view from the back porch. On the deck it just screams a "Nicholas Sparks" novel.

What makes this property unique

Casa Sea Esta offers you comfort and style within 12 minutes walk to the beach or 3 min short ride. The views of Davis Canal on your private dock will take your breath away. Custom fire pit and beach bicycles for your enjoyment. Peace and tranquility at its best, at nights chill on the upper level porch and hear the ocean breeze or simply enjoy nature.
