Thank you for your wonderful review! I’m so happy to hear you returned for a second year and enjoyed your stay again. It means a lot to have guests come back, and I’d be thrilled to welcome you back for many more visits!
Lovely home with stunning views to wake up to and waves to fall asleep to every day. Worth every penny. We went during the off season and it was 10 steps to the beach, with bonfires each night. If this house is available next year we would love to come back.

We had a great stay with our family. View from the 3rd level is beautiful. Kids really enjoyed the pool and slide. Great stay for family. And the elevator was very helpful for our grandparents.

This is a wonderful house. It is right across the street from the beach. A beautiful view from the front porch. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything that we needed. We loved the pool area. It was very easy to check in on our arrival day. Would visit again!

House was great! Need to replace all light bulbs underneath the house (parking area) for night time use. Very dark and difficult to unload. House was in good shape overall and well stocked kitchen!

Hi Trevor, I'm delighted to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay! It's wonderful that the location and amenities met your needs. I look forward to welcoming you back!
We had a terrible storm the first night we were there. 20+ inches of rain, but the property was high enough to keep us and our cars safe while all around us was flooding.
The house is very comfortable with great views and a fantastic pool. i would recommend this house to everyone.

Hi Ed, I'm glad you stayed safe during the storm and enjoyed the comfortable house, views, and pool. I appreciate your recommendation! Hope to host you again!
This home is beautiful and spacious with amazing ocean views - you get both sunrise and sunset views from this location! The kitchen is well stocked with many small appliances and enough dishes, bowls, cups, utensils, etc. for a large group. Beds are comfortable which is a plus. Beach access is directly across the street. Grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping are all very close (many within walking distance). Pool was fabulous! We asked that it be heated for our stay and it was perfect for the cooler temps we had. We would definitely choose this home for our next stay in Oak Island.

* Not too big, not too small - just right for a small group!* Great location which affords one of the best beach and water views on the island* Good mix of covered and uncovered outdoor spaces with a private pool area that is resort grade* Kitchen is well stocked and had the essentials needed for cooking* Nice little touches like hand soap in every bathroom and basic shower supplies, pool towels, beach toys, etcAll of this at reasonable, competitive rates compared to other properties in OI! Sea la Vie indeed.

Property had lots of issues that were reported to our contact. Broken ceiling fan, no lights by pool, leak from overhead stove vent, light not working over dining room table, ice maker not working. Rick, technician, was great with taking care of what he could. Wouldn't stay at this property again but the location is awesome.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear Rick was able to take care of some of the issues during your stay, though I’m truly sorry for the items that couldn’t be resolved in time. I’m happy you still enjoyed the great location, and I appreciate you giving us the chance to improve.
Our stay at this Oak Island, North Carolina beach house was nothing short of fantastic. The property offered breathtaking ocean views, with both sunrise and sunset creating stunning backdrops each day. It was well-equipped with everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen perfect for cooking to TVs in every room for winding down in the evenings. The elevator was a game-changer, making access to all levels effortless.Though it was just the two of us, the home had more than enough space to accommodate up to 10 people comfortably. The location was ideal—just a short distance from great restaurants and bars, adding to the convenience. Whether we were cooking, lounging on the deck, or taking in the beautiful scenery, every moment felt effortless and enjoyable. We would absolutely return for another stay!

Hi Kevin, thank you! I'm thrilled you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the ocean views, amenities, and location. I'd love to welcome you back to Oak Island!
This is a fantastic home - great location, convenient to shops, grocery, and dining. Even though it's technically 2nd Row, it has incredibly easy beach access. The walkway to the beach is right across the street - and, it couldn't be more than 150' long. The pool is wonderful, but could use a bit more shaded areas - 1 umbrella isn't enough. The elevator works flawlessly and is a huge help especially when loading & unloading. The view from the upper level deck is amazing! Small item - wonderful gas range/oven, but not your typical intuitive to use appliance. I would suggest asking for instructions ahead of time - particularly if you plan on using the oven. That's a small item though - I would highly, highly recommend this home! Our group consisted of a wide variety in ages, and we all had a wonderful, fun time!

Hi Scott, I'm glad you loved the home, location, beach access, and views! I appreciate your feedback about the pool shade and oven instructions. I'd love to host your group again!
Beautiful home with great ocean view. Just cross the road and over the dune and you are on the beach. They had beach chairs, sand toys and wagon in garage we used. The pool was great as well. We paid to have it heated. Does have an elevator put wasn’t working on day we got there so it was a struggle going up the stairs with all the luggage and supplies we brought. Was repaired a few days later so leaving made it easier to use. Kitchen well supplied with cooking pots and pans, plates , glasses, silverware ect.. We only had one problem on entry day , we were not supplied with enough towels and wash clothes for amount of people staying. James had been very easy to work and communicate with and problem got solved. It’s a very nice place and would recommend staying.
The facilities and proximity to the beach were great, as was the support from the hosts. Because we arrived at the tail end of a 40 storm event, there was a need for some impromptu maintenance. This was handled quickly and professionally.
