Perfect location for a relaxing beach weekend

The property was very clean and had everything we needed. I loved the ease of access to the beach, easy parking and relaxing decor and layout of the beach condo. Easy walk to restaurants, but peaceful location.

Great Place “Beware of Rats”

My stay at this property was incredibly disappointing, to say the least. While the pictures match the front part of the house (like the kitchen and living room), the back part (specifically the bathrooms and laundry area) was not nearly as put together or beautiful as advertised. The most alarming issue was the rats. We woke up to find rats had chewed through our unpacked bags in both the living room and kitchen areas. They had gnawed through the bags and scattered pieces of the bags around the house in their search for food. When I reached out to the owner, she was responsive but suggested that we go to the grocery store, purchase traps and peanut butter, and set the traps ourselves. Initially, I considered doing so, but after thinking it over and considering the safety of my small children, I decided against it. I did not want to risk my kids being traumatized by seeing a rat in a trap. The owner explained a recent flood had caused rats to get in. She made it seem like this was a one-time issue. However, after further investigation it became clear that this was a recurring problem with rodents at the property. To make matters worse, this happened during my daughter’s birthday. we had to cut our trip short, leaving in the middle of the night after consulting with VRBO, who advised we leave due to the health and sanitary issues. Also, take a look at the cleaning expectations and’s cleaning fees…. THEY DON’T MATCH! You shouldn’t have to pay AND clean?!

Beautiful condo and view

We very much enjoyed this beautiful condo with a stunning view because of its end location! The deck was a little smaller than we expected, but room enough for four to enjoy a drink, but not dine outside. It is very close to the beach access- just a short walk-which was nice getting all of our beach supplies set up! The host was very prompt responding to any question or need that we had. There were only a couple of minor kitchen items we would’ve used that were not available, but overall, very well-appointed. We rented two condos for all of our kids and grandkids to vacation together which worked out great! The pool was never crowded and was easy to go back and forth from the beach. The beach itself was beautiful sand and plenty of space for fun activities. We would definitely come back!

Sea La Vie - great location, great vacation!

The Sea La Vie is clean, well stocked, well maintained, comfortable, and located in a great spot at Oak Island. There are other nice condos in the same complex for family and friends to rent (we had 3 condos), clean covered parking, walkable restaurants, stores, ice cream, coffee shops. Very handy big storage locker for chairs and beach toys. The pool is small but clean. We like spending time on the beach without a wild pool complex enticing the children all day! It’s quiet at night and we enjoyed looking at the stars. There is a nice rec center about half a mile away, with a splash park, playground, pickleball, and walking path. I walk all around the area by myself every day, it feels safe and people are friendly. I was able to charge my EV at the rec center, and I think it was free. Nice.

Sea La Vie - nice unit and location

We had a great week at Sea La Vie. There was some construction going on in our parking stall area during our stay so there was some noise during the week but the unit was clean and roomy with a great view of the beach and ocean. The host did let us know in advance of the construction work.

Oak Island Get Away

This property was a little gem with walk out access to the beach and a wonderful dune front view. It was modern and clean in the kitchen and common spaces. Since it is an end unit, it was pretty quiet and easy to access.

Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. The beach was wonderful, the pool was never overcrowded, and the evenings were quiet. The accommodations were great with everything we needed, which is a must because if you travel to Oak Island in the summer you better be prepared to eat at home because restaurants are limited. Also the second bedroom was plenty big - much roomier than the pictures let on. If we come back to Oak Island we would definitely stay here again!

Location, location, location

The view from the condo and the minute long walk to the beach cannot be beat. We had a great stay at Sea la Vie and would definitely consider returning. Everything was accurately described, and the unit was stocked with everything we needed. The only thing I was disappointed by (and the owners have no control over this) is that the pool closes at 8pm. At other places we’ve stayed, we really enjoyed evening swims but we couldn’t do that here. Overall it is a very nice condo in a perfect location.

Sea la Vie - sweet life on the beach!

After many years of vacationing at a large high-rise resort in Myrtle Beach, our family gathered at Oak Island/Long Beach Memorial Day weekend, in three 3BR units at Southern Shore Villas. The lovely ocean views and no upstairs neighbors made Sea la Vie our favorite of the three condos, but all three were very comfortable. Highest compliments to the owners, this condo is incredibly well stocked, with everything a family could want or need for a relaxing week at the beach. Comfortable beds, good coffee maker, books, games, and a great outdoor locking storage room with chairs and beach gear, and covered parking. An extra bonus was two grocery stores within walking distance and many restaurants and shops, but it's still quiet and dark on the beach at night. A sea turtle laid eggs near the condo, and the little ones in our group got to see the tracks in the sand where she came out of the water and went back in. I watched the International Space Station fly over from the beach one night because it's dark enough to see the night sky, amazing. There is a nice community park, playground, and water play area less than a mile away. Sea la Vie is just a really comfortable, quiet, well-appointed beach rental, looks exactly like the photos. Highly recommend.

Perfect 'Just cuz' get away

My sister and cousins (also sisters), enjoyed the perfect just because cousins (Just cuz) getaway! Our stay at Sea la Vie was perfect, decor was lovely, and a wonderful view. We particularly appreciated the well secured hooks in the bathrooms. Such a small thing, but it allows us to hang our cosmetic bags off the counter and away, but still easy access. Thanks! Just cuz!

About the host

Hosted by Tracy and Dan Cyr

We moved to NC from northern Maine in 1996. We fell in love with NC and knew it was a perfect place to raise our family. After searching the NC beaches for a vacation home, we fell in love with the peace and tranquility of Oak Island and it’s neighboring town of Southport (whose small-town feel reminded us of our childhood home). We hope you enjoy our home!

Why they chose this property

When searching for a second home, we immediately felt 'at home' at Sea la Vie. Needless to say, the views are unbeatable!

What makes this property unique

- Best view in the complex as the condo is closest to the ocean! End unit offers lots of light and ocean views.
- First floor elevated. No condos above Sea la Vie so no noisy stomping above you!
- Full renovation in 2021
