Oak Island holiday house

We were very pleased with our stay at the house and on the island. This was our first visit to Oak Island. The house was clean, attractive and comfortable. The upstairs bedroom was extra peaceful. The yard was beautiful, relaxing and private. It was very accommodating for our dogs. The walk to the beach was fast, easy and pleasant. Cycling in the neighborhood was very nice. We enjoyed exploring and sightseeing in the whole area. The island was laid back and family friendly. We did not dislike anything about the island or home. The owners provided accurate information. We would recommend this vacation to our friends, and hopefully we will return for our next vacation.

I spent a delicious week on Oak Island with my sister and our dogs--it was my first trip to the Carolina coast and it did not disappoint! The house was very clean, cool (central air), a short walk to the beach and the intracoastal waterway. It had all the amenities of home--I was even able to find internet access on a local wireless network. And big bonus, there is a huge fenced in yard. Not sure who was happier--us or the dogs!

Oak Island is a sleepy little resort town with some undiscovered gems (fabulous coffee shop and a couple of great restaurants). It's close enough to bicycle to Southport (which we did) or drive to Willmington. I highly recommend it and I'll definitely return, probably in the off-season.

We have been coming to Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Oak Island for many years and have always stayed in hotels. This time we chose to stay in a home and that will be our plan in the future. The rental on this property was less than what we have paid in rooms and condominiums previously, with a great deal more room. The house was large enough for five adults, one child and an old chocolate lab. The layout was spacious, simply decorated with pleasing colors. The back yard was completely fenced with a back porch, patio and hammock and was very comfortable for long talks into the evening. The living area downstairs was spacious with an open floor plan for living room and dining room, a well stocked kitchen and full bath and a nice sized bedroom. Upstairs was an open bedroom that was truly huge and a bathroom with shower. Thirty-eighth street had quiet neighbors with little traffic and, although sewer construction was occurring on the main street through town, there was no noise at the house. The beach was an easy drive away. We enjoyed eating at Fishy Fishy in Southport and the Dry Street Pub and Pizza, about a ten minute drive from the house. Otherwise, we ate at the house. The full sized washer and dryer were used constantly. We enjoyed our stay very much and intend to rent this property again. It is available by the week or by the month. And the owners? Completely lovely people with whom to do business - very amiable, cordial, courteous, and informative. I would highly recommend this property for those looking for an open floor plan, quiet neighborhood and a relaxed atmosphere.
