This property was great! The location was a quick walk to the beach. The house had all the beach items we could have needed-tent, chairs, wagon, boogie boards etc. All of the decks were great to sit outside and enjoy the view and the space inside was perfect for us. We will def stay here again!

Perfect Stay

The house was very nice with a great layout. Checkin and checkout was painless. The upstairs kitchen and living area are great for families looking to eat and gather together. Location to the beach was an easy walk, less than 5 minutes to the access point. I would definitely go back to this house for future stays!

Everthing was perfect. House was very clean and had everything we needed. We also rented a golf cart for the week and proved to be very useful even with being so close to the beach access. We will definitely be back next year. Main bedroom needs a king bed. Currently there is a queen but room.has plenty of room for a king. That was the only negative thing i could find to say.

Great OKI Vacation Home!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Oak Island Vacation home. Great location with amazing views of both the ocean and the Intracoastal waterway. Short walk to two different public beach access points. The back porch was a favorite spot for our family to relax and hang out. Kitchen, living and dining areas are very spacious with plenty of seating. The entire home was very welcoming, clean and well appointed. Also plenty of beach equipment, chairs, umbrellas, bikes, etc. Instructions from and communication with the owner was very prompt and courteous which is always a plus.
Back porch was a favorite spot for our crew.
Beautiful views

Fabulous place!

We had a great time here for Easter weekend. The house was spotless, with plenty of living space for us all to spread out and for the kids to play. It’s a short walk to the beach access, but the wagon there made it easy to get all the kids there with minimal whining. The kitchen is stocked with all the basics and there were plenty of towels and extra blankets!

Vay-K before new gig

My wife, 4 kids and I stayed at David’s place in Oak Island. It was PERFECT. We wanted to be close to the beach, the walk was short and easily manageable. If we needed anything it was really easy to make a quick trip and be back in the sun. The house was very clean and comfortable. David was VERY responsive. Would definitely recommend and want to come back!

Wonderful beach stay!

A beautiful house in a more relaxed area of OKI! We love coming to Oak Island and were so happy to find this gem on a quieter part of the island The house was very clean, spacious, beautifully decorated, and has great views of both the marsh and ocean! We spent time relaxing on the decks, and it was a short walk to the beach. Dave was responsive and quick to any questions. They were super thoughtful with extra amenities. The wagon was especially helpful when we were taking things to the beach. They have a great selection of games and there is a lot of space for people to hang out. Thanks for providing us a great house for my family to enjoy our vacation! We hope to come again for our next one!

Oak Island Magic

Excellent property location and amenities! Beautiful, spacious and comfortable home close to the beach. Lots of beach equipment supplied for guests. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking and dining in. Gorgeous views from front and rear decks. Enjoyed our stay immensely. Excellent communication with owner. Beach is being replenished so I recommend surf shoes for swim time. Lovely walks on the beach for delightful ocean breezes and shell collecting. Great restaurants and grocery stores are nearby. I highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by David Mayers

Host profile image
I'm Dave Mayers, and I'm so delighted you're considering or have booked time at our vacation home in Oak Island. I reside mostly at our home in Charlotte, NC, and am married with 3 children ranging in age from a freshman in high school, to a senior in college.

I work for a large consulting company, and I personally specialize in providing software services and consulting for power utilities, gas utilities and water utilities. I've also been an avid real estate investor since 2005, investing mostly in single family rental houses in the Charlotte area.

The recent purchase of this home on Oak Island is a departure for me, both in terms of type of real estate investing, and location. It is perhaps the first step towards retirement, with this house likely becoming a future full time residence for me and my wife. In the interim, it is a place for us to vacation and to pour our heart and soul into shaping and molding. I've always had what I call a "passion for place", and love to take overlooked properties and create something special. I've done this for years in typical residential areas of Charlotte - but having a canvas like this one on Oak Island by the ocean has infused me with a new energy and passion.

I'm genuinely excited to share our home with you, and hope that it gives you the coastal experience you're seeking, perhaps with a unique flair. In fact, one of the things I'm most looking forward to is hearing your feedback after you've had the chance to vacation here - something I didn't get with my residential properties with tenants who lived there for a year or more! Your real time feedback will help me focus my "passion for place" into continuously improving the property in ways I may not have previously considered.

I hope you will find this home as relaxing and enjoyable as I do, and please don't hesitate to reach out to me during your stay if anything is not up to standard in any way. Cheers!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property because of its location on the quieter western side of Oak Island. Also, I felt that this property was unique with its combination of both easy and quick beach access, along with unparalleled views of the Davis Canal from the expansive back deck. Additionally, I was compelled by the fact that this custom built home had never been rented, and was recently updated inside. I personally invested heavily on upgrading the exterior with paint, and with brand new decks to complete the vision of a superior Oak Island vacation home.

What makes this property unique

This house is unique in that it features both fantastic ocean views, and views of the Davis Canal (which are perhaps even more spectacular). Also, the house has been recently modernized and upgraded, and has never previously been rented until this year (2022). While the house is setup to sleep up to 8 people, it could easily host groups of up to 16 for meals and/or family gatherings with its expansive living and dining areas, making it an ideal central location for extended family gatherings who may be renting nearby.
