The house felt like home. We had everything we needed. The beach and view from the house is beautiful.. It was so nice having the house right on the beach especially with having small children. Thank you
We had a wonderful stay! The house was so comfortable and had everything you could possibly need. The beach access is incredible. We will definitely be wanting to stay again! Lots of things nearby and if you’re looking for pizza, the pepperoni Grill is soooo good! Thank you to Erin for everything and answering my billions of questions before we got there!

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Our family uses this home too, so we keep it stocked with everything we need and once our guests. to feel like they have everything they need too. And absolutely agree about the pepperoni grill.
Location is amazing, one house over from beach access. Layout was very good, beds comfortable, house was clean. The bad, the air conditioner needs to be upgraded as the house would get very hot at night. If you are looking for a single story , clean, comfortable house in an excellent location , this is the place, just bring fans to help keep cooler in evenings and nights.

We’re so glad you enjoyed the location and the single story layout. We did follow up with HVAC, and while the air conditioner was working properly during your stay, they said they got a lot of calls during that week because temperatures were up over 100. I hope you were able to find the fans in the closets.
Beautiful house, beautiful area. We had a great time here. We had a very minor issue right when we arrived but the host responded immediately and helped us get it figured out. If we take another trip to the beach, we will likely book here again.

We’re glad you liked the house. Having a clean place is very important to us, and I love your comment about it being cute. Thank you for noticing that we respond quickly.
Our second time at Atlantic Dream - everything was wonderful! Great option for anyone looking for easy beach access and view but not wanting to book a larger 5 bedroom property.
The property was perfect. We had all we needed. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. Great views of the ocean and easy access to the beach.I would love to stay there again!
Great, clean place with everything you could possibly need and plenty of activities for kids. Owner was great to deal with and made the process very simple. Would definitely stay here again!

Thanks for the review. We are glad you and your family enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again.
We enjoyed our stay and the home was very clean! We came in the winter and it's still a great time to visit the beach. The town of OKI was decorated for Christmas and we enjoyed that everything was a close drive.

We are so glad you enjoyed your time in the house and on Christmas-time OKI. And thanks for being a great guest.
Our stay at Atlantic Dream was great. The location is amazing, and the house was clean and comfortable. Near great restaurants AND fully equipped to cook at home. Just right for our weekend away at the beach!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This was one of the cleanest rentals we’ve stayed in. We loved the ocean views and being steps from the beach. The host was wonderful to work with and kept us updated the entire time. Don’t hesitate to book a stay!

About the host
Hosted by Erin Pushman
Oak Island has been an important part of our lives since my husband and I met twenty years ago. We’ve always loved introducing people to this special island. Now, we have four growing children who love OKI for the beach and the coastal ecosystem, especially the sea turtles who nest here every year. This house is our family’s special place. Hosting makes beach house ownership sustainable and gives us the chance to share our love for the island with all of you.
As our guests, we want you to feel as comfortable here as we do. We work to keep the house exceptionally clean and very cozy.
As nature lovers, we pick up trash on the beach and ICW to keep it from being eaten by turtles or other marine life. We also spend time walking the scenic trails along the marsh and over Davis Canal and enjoying OKIs many parks.
Why they chose this property
This beach house is our dream come true. We wanted to be on the beach and have unobstructed views of the ocean. After completely renovating this property we are now ready to enjoy it with our family and friends. This island offers quiet, clean, safe and friendly beach and community. Great place to enjoy retirement in the off season. OKI has wonderful restaurants, fresh seafood and plenty of activities for everyone. If you like to bicycle this is the place. Ten miles of flat terrain, beautiful Ocean and Intercostal scenery. You won't be disappointed!
What makes this property unique
This family oriented beach has everything you will need to relax and enjoy your vacation. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck and watch the sunrise while taking in the ocean breeze or enjoy your evening with a drink on the deck watching the breathtaking sunset. Stroll on the white sandy beach picking shells and enjoying each others company. Children will enjoy playing in the backyard while parents sit on the deck relaxing. Great restaurants with FRESH SEAFOOD, Food Lion, Publix sand Lowes grocery store on/around island, public library, coffee shop, Dairy Queen, pizza and sandwich shops all within 1-4 miles of this beachfront house. Tennis, golf, kayaking, skateboarding, fishing all close by. We allow monthly renters in the off season November - March which is very relaxing and perfect weather. Come stay at Atlantic Dream and you will see what we are talking about!!
