This beach house was as described and was the perfect staging point for a great week at the beach. From plenty of sleeping space, well-appointed kitchen, outdoor shower, and convenient fenced in yard for our 2 dogs… it had all of the amenities we needed. House was and smelled clean on arrival. Just a short 3 min drive to beach by golf cart. Shannon was a fantastic host and even made it easy for us to extend our stay an extra night. Thank you for our family’s 2026 beach memories!

Putting it lightly... we were DEVASTATED to have to leave Oak Island. We had probably one of the BEST vacations we ever had the week we visited Shannon was an excellent host and easy to talk to...her little house was absolutely PERFECT for my husband and I, our two kids, and our little pug. We LOVED it so much. It was clean, comfortable, and very functional...which is so important to me!! It was an easy ride to the beach and beach access is right down the road from the street the house is on. We enjoyed our stay immensely and cannot wait to come back!! I'd stay at this property over and over! Thank you for such wonderful memories at our new favorite beach!!
