Had a wonderful stay. Twin Buoys had so many well thought out extra touches that made things easy to be away from home. Laurie was an excellent, responsive host. Location was fantastic! Great first trip to Oak Island, would stay again.

Our family fell in love with Oak Island and will definitely book again at Laurie’s property next year! We were so close to everything. The convenience of how close the beach is, the actual neighborhood itself, the sound at the back of the property, the wrap around upper deck and much more make this property stand out above the rest! I also cannot tell you enough about Laurie’s stellar accommodations and consistent communication! Such great owners and people!

This house was perfect for our family getaway from start to finish. We all enjoyed the short walks to the beach, time spent outside with the ocean breeze while soaking in the sun on the deck overlooking the canal as well as the shade and comfortable seating in the lower covered area, fishing and birdwatching, walking to Middleton Park for a concert, and the close proximity to local grocery stores and restaurants (including walking distance to Pepperoni Grill at the Beach). The host thought of every possible detail, was always quick to respond, and made the check-in process incredibly smooth. It was the perfect, stress-free escape, and we look forward to booking again.

We loved the house and the location ! Steps from the beach and enjoyed sitting on the back deck. It’s decorated beautifully and the master bath has gorgeous blue tile . We will definitely stay here again.

House is located in the perfect ideal location! You get both an abundance of the marsh and a view of the ocean. Tons of natural light making it a great house to rent yr round. Besides the wrap around porch there is a covered area under house with comfy big couch lawn games and string lights so you can still enjoy the view in the rain or at night. IG worthy sunsets. The owner was great to deal with and adds those extra little details that embody true southern hospitality.

Family beach vacay

Family of 4, kids age 14 and 4. We had a wonderful stay at Two Buoys in OKI! The place was the perfect size for us, getting in was a breeze, my husband loved being able to fish on the canal and I loved the proximity to the beach and Kings in case you need any last minute beach accessories 😁 Laurie was very responsive and a great host!! Would 5/5 recommend and stay here again!!

This property was just lovely. Steps from the beach with a marvelous deck overlooking the canal and a covered patio below. Inside, the house was clean and well stocked with linens, dishes and starter items. But the nicest thing about our stay was the hosts. Communication was rapid and responsive without being intrusive. They are some of the best hosts I have ever had the pleasure of staying with. I definitely look forward to another visit.

Perfect location, comfortable vacation home, gorgeous views!

We stayed at Twin Buoys for 3 nights and had the BEST experience there. The home was very clean and comfortable and it had everything we needed. We enjoyed breakfast and dessert each day on the amazing porch, overlooking the gorgeous marsh area. There was a lovely breeze the whole time, so it wasn't buggy at all. Communication with the owner was prompt and she was very friendly and accommodating. My 2 kids especially loved exploring above the marsh area, looking for little crabs...they're now begging for fishing nets for our next visit. I'm a long time Oak Island vacationer, and this is the sweetest house we've ever rented. We can't wait to return to Twin Buoys!

Wonderful & Well Stocked!

Laurie & Matt's home was truly just a short walk from the beach and very well stocked with everything we needed! So many homes sleep 6 people, but do not have the seating for them. We were extremely grateful for the sectional seating both indoor & outdoor to accommodate our two families! The home is well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen, and having a good supply of cozy blankets was an added bonus. The beach wagon was also a lifesaver for trucking to the beach with chairs, a tent, and toddler in tow. She was also prompt in her communication with us throughout our stay, and even let us add an additional day when we realized we would be available to check-in a day early. Can't recommend enough!

Absolutely Perfect!

My husband & I took our 21 & 17 year old sons (+ their friends) to stay here for the week. We liked it because of the location & because we wanted to bring our two SMALL dogs for their first vacation. Place was very clean. Walking distance to beach, restaurant, & park. Fishing in the back yard! The young folks enjoyed the social area under the house in the evenings. The large porch provided excellent space for morning coffee & evening meals. The sunset on the canal was gorgeous! Laurie, our host, had so many additional touches that made us feel welcome & dogs too! She has honestly thought of everything to help make your stay more enjoyable. We are thinking of making this our annual place! Just a perfect place.

The house was perfect. It fit our family of 5 plus my parents and 2 dogs very comfortably. It really is steps away from the beach. The sunsets on the back porch are story book worthy. We can’t wait to visit again.
