Excellent stay!

Check in was a breeze! When we arrived, everyone was clean and neat, and there were plenty of towels (both bathroom and beach/pool). The pool was perfect temperature and clean, and Kathryn was quick in responding when we had questions! Would highly recommend staying here!

The best rental we have ever stayed at!!!

When I found this home it sounded too good to be true but I was more than satisfied. The backyard is a vacation in itself with the pool and hot tub and lovely landscaping. The screened in porch was used daily and is perfect to sit and relax. When Katie says this place is stocked she means it is stopped with everything you could possibly need for a vacation at the beach, wonderful pots and pans towels, laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, toilet paper, and just about every space you could think of for the kitchen, I was completely amazed, and that’s not to mention the beach chairs that was made available for us I cannot express how wonderful and attentive the hostess was for our entire trip. Did I mention dog friendly?? Cute little touches let you know that your fur babies are welcomed to the bin of dog toys on the porch to the waste pickup bags and can. Our babies enjoyed their time as much as we did ours. Just blocks away from the beach too. On a side note Oak Island has very accessible beaches for the handicapped. We cannot say thank you enough and look forward to staying again!!!
