We loved our stay here. The kitchen was wonderful and fully stocked with everything needed. Beds were very comfortable. We loved the screen in porch and it was only a 5 minute drive to the beach and shops. Parking is available at the beach for 5 an hour. The host was very quick to respond with any questions. Great place, would definitely recommend and are hoping to come back next year!

My stay

The community is very nice, and the house was very nice. But I will say there were no sheets on the beds and I was never notified to bring my own. They try to charge 35 for you to use their sheets they have in the closets.

We stayed here for our annual beach trip. House was close to everything in OKI and the beach! Kitchen was well equipped for our week long stay. We enjoyed sitting on the porch for dinner and games at night. Owners were very accommodating and quick to respond when we needed help! Would stay here again!!

The Perfect House

I usually feel like I make a few sacrifices to stay at the beach. In this case there were none (unless you just need to be closer to the beach). The rooms were spacious and nicely appointed. The kitchen is amazing if you like to cook. The real gem of this house is the wrap around screened in porch. It was such a pleasure to stay in such a nice house with great space and great walkable views of the sound.

Relaxing beach getaway

W have had such a wonderful experience. The hosts were easy to communicate with both before and during our trip. It's a beautiful home, very clean and is just as advertised on the site. It has a huge wraparound porch where we spent a lot of our time and the outdoor fans kept it comfortable even in the heat. Our first time using vrbo and we are very happy we did.

Perfect family vacation

This property was great! We had 4 adults and 3 kids in our group and we all felt like we had plenty of space. We loved the wrap around screened in porch, the outdoor shower for after the beach, and the well stocked kitchen. The house is a quick drive to the beach, and is close to grocery stores, souvenir shops, ice cream, and many restaurants. The house was very comfortable and we enjoyed the time we were inside!

Delightful Stay

Jen’s house on Oak Island is delightful. Wonderful use of the space. Easy quick drive to the 46th street parking and beach access. The beach is full of families and is very dog friendly. The house is also close to a small butterfly garden and access to a he intercostal byway. We had a small electrical problem and Jen responded and took care of it quickly. Highly recommend!

Great Vacation Retreat

We had a wonderful week on Oak Island at this very comfortable and spacious house. The owners were gracious to let us use their beach bikes and we really enjoyed exploring the neighborhoods. We relaxed on the screened porch in the evening listening to the chorus of roosting birds before sunset and enjoyed coffee in the mornings. The short drive to the beach was only five minutes away as it was too far to walk with all the beach things needed. Not to miss is the farmer's market in the town square on Monday where we went prior to relaxing on the beach for the day. We also went to the Friday evening local concert there but if going make sure to take your cold beverage in a cooler and chairs or a blanket and get there early. I must also say that I have never seen such a fully stocked kitchen at any rental property. We didn't even need to bring condiments or spices! Thanks for making our vacation a memorable one.

Family Vacation

We absolutely loved our stay at Oak Island. Jen was a fantastic host. She was helpful from day one of booking all the way up until our checkout. I had told her about how excited my two little boys were about going to the beach. Upon our arrival, we found toys laid out for our boys on the dining room table and a sweet message on vrbo from her about the beach toys! Our favorite thing about the house was definitely the porch. My husband and I both loved having our morning coffee and quiet time out there. Our boys always chose to eat out there any chance they could get. We had almost all of our meals out there! The house was clean, organized, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was a dream to cook in! I also really enjoyed using the gas grill on the back deck. The house was well stocked on pans, utensils, cups, plates, towels, and more. Jen provided sheets for us which was a blessing! Having a house with so many things provided helped make the stay that much better. It was the perfect house for our family vacation! Our family would definitely love to stay there again in the future.

Small town paradise

Stayed week of 7/9/2022. An absolutely cute town to be in. Beaches, grocery stores, restaurants, within 5 mins of the house. The house itself has everything you need. Decorated with a nautical theme, full kitchen. Unfortunately we only had two days of sun. If I return back to NC I will be staying here again.

Wonderful!

This home is great! Nicely decorated and the location is perfect. Close to stores, ice cream and a few blocks from the beach! The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, small appliances and enough dinnerware for over 12 people! (We had family over for dinner). Bedrooms are nice, only complaint is the twin bed is creaky. Master bathroom has a walk-in shower, which was great for my elderly mom. Jen allowed us the use of their bikes too. She texted me some info about Oak Island and things to do. I messaged her once during our stay and she got back to me within a few minutes. Our favorite place was the enclosed porch, we used that for family games, dinner, conversations, coffee, and just hanging out.
