Birthday Getaway

Went down to Oak Island for my hubby’s 60th birthday and had a great time. This property is in a perfect location and we walked to the beach in just a matter of minutes. It was well maintained and suited our needs perfectly! Communication with Naomi was effortless and she responded right away when we had a question. Highly recommend this place!

Great place to stay on OKI

Clean and comfortable beach house within walking distance to the beach. Great for families or friend groups. Didn’t run into any issues and the owner is very responsive. I love how the house is easy to spot with the string lights.

Cute house, great beach access

We stayed for a week and while the weather wasn't the best, we had a nice time with beach strolls and just relaxing. Property was quiet and peaceful and a short 2 to 3 minute walk to the beach. We encountered no issues with the property but host was very responsive so I'm sure anything would have been handled promptly. We stayed with one dog and there were food and water bowls available and extra dog bags. We enjoyed our time and it's definitely a town to visit in the on season too!

I chose this property because of the flexibility of days a reservation was allowed and location. It

We enjoyed our vacation in part because we really needed a break but mostly because A Shore Thing was perfect for this trip. The owner was very nice and always responded to my messages.

This is a newly updated, beautiful home. It is light, airy, and very clean. The beds were comfortable, it had everything we needed in the kitchen, and you couldn’t beat the sounds and sight of the ocean just a block away. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Nice Get Away

Enjoyed sipping coffee on the front deck each morning. Street is quite busy due to exploding popularity of OKI & the construction. Easy 5 minute (or less) walk to beach. Very comfortable beach house with everything you need.

About the host

Hosted by Naomi Abel

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Naomi and I'm a realtor! I live on Lake Norman and love being by the water. It calms me and brings me back to my center. I have two kiddos who are my everything. I bought this beach home for them so we can make as many amazing memories as possible, and my hope is one day, it's paid for and they can begin to bring their kids to the beach!

Why they chose this property

I was on the hunt for a beach property! I wanted something cozy and a couple rows back from the ocean. When I found this home, it was a gut job! I'm a realtor though so saw the vision and value in the proximity to the ocean and went for it! I put a lot of love into this home and I hope you enjoy it as much as my girls and I do!

What makes this property unique

I love the proximity to the ocean. It's a 1 minute walk to the beach access so you don't have to have any sand in your car, can come and go from the beach for food and restroom breaks, easily!! I wanted the home to be cozy and comfortable, which I hope you feel when you arrive!
