Loved Simple Plessures
The perfect beach house for two. Steps from the ocean offering the sounds of the waves as a lullaby. Well equipped with comfortable bed and tidy kitchen. The only thing we would add would be comfortable chairs/chaise lounges for the porch. And potholders!!!

This house was wonderful! Came with everything we needed, and was an absolutely dreamy location. We traveled with our two small children- it was wonderful to be able to play with our kiddo on the beach and have a monitor surveilling our infant just inside. Just enough space for our little crew.

Wonderful week
We truly enjoyed our stay! The home was perfect for our family of 4. Everything we needed was provided! We especially appreciated the outdoor shower to help us clean up the kiddos after a fun day on the beach!

This little beach house has a well stocked kitchen and is a great location. All paper goods, towels, sheets and blankets perfect. Awesome covered porch for every meal, and the bench seats on the deck were great too. It is clear that there is a lot of care for their guests. I do want to point out that the place is very small around 520 square feet. Not a lot of room in bedrooms for luggage or anything. Could use more hooks. Also in NC real estate 1.5 bath is typically 1 full and one toilet and sink. There is a full bathroom inside and shower outside. So not two toilets. We called after booking and we're a bit disappointed about that. They should make that more clear in listing. Otherwise all was great.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Small Pleasures met your expectations and that you enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen and awesome covered porch. It’s clear you made the most of the great location. We appreciate your feedback regarding the bedroom space and the bathroom description, we have an integrated system and sometimes third parties will read an outdoor shower as a half bath. We will ensure this information is clearer in our listing. Thank you for pointing out the care taken for our guests, and we’d love to welcome you back for another delightful visit!
Everything we needed was there. Short trip but thoroughly enjoyed it. Was chilly but was great sitting in the sun on the deck and walking the beach for shells. Very easy access.

Thank you for the review! We are so glad you enjoyed your trip! Even short trips are much needed!
Small space, but effectively used. Liked having the books and DVDs around. The beach view was just the best. I loved being able to see, hear and smell the ocean just by stepping out onto the porch

My husband and I just returned from a very nice week at Oak Island . Small Pleasures is a fantastic little house that was perfect for the two of us. The home is comfortable with incredible views and beach access. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need during your stay. I highly recommend this property and we look forward to our next stay ! Thank you!

The view is amazing and the clean beach just steps away.The kitchen is very well equipped. Very little elbow room in the bathroom shower and the beds do not accommodate a tall person.

Thank you for the review! We are glad you enjoyed the kitchen and the beach being so close.
Loved this little home and its location! Owner was very communicative and helpful, especially with restaurant recommendations and things to do! Our only complaint is the not so comfortable beds and tiny shower. However, nonetheless, we really enjoyed our stay!

Thank you, for your lovely review of Small Pleasures! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home and its great location. Your kind words about our responsiveness, especially regarding restaurant and activity recommendations, are much appreciated. We apologize for the comfort issues with the beds and shower, and we are actively working on improvements. We look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy beach house. The first thing we noticed when we walked in was how clean it smelled—always a great first impression! The home is on the smaller side, but the listing accurately reflects the size, so there were no surprises.The highlight is definitely the location. The views are beautiful, and being directly on the beach made our trip so relaxing. It’s the perfect spot if you want to slow down and enjoy the ocean.Oak Island is a quieter destination with fewer restaurants and activities compared to places like Wilmington or the Outer Banks, but it’s ideal if you’re looking for a peaceful, laid-back getaway.Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a simple beach escape!

Idyllic
Small Pleasures is nothing short of a peaceful oasis with idyllic views and a porch you will not want to leave. Everything was incredibly clean and the home fully stocked with anything you will need for the most comfortable stay. Leaving was the only difficult part.

We are delighted that you found Small Pleasures to be a peaceful oasis, Lindsey. Thank you for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us. Leaving can indeed be tough! We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
What a perfect escape! We had the greatest stay in Oak Island. The host was very responsive. The home was impeccably appointed, and the location was perfect for us! It is a nice, quiet street with perfect access to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed waking up every morning to the beautiful sunrise with our coffee on the porch! We couldn't have asked for a better stay.
