Great place right in the beach!

The place was great, and we had a great stay. It was a little windy while we were there, so having the deck was really nice. Had some great local seafood too. Would stay there again!

This was a most relaxing vacation home to stay in. Easy walk to the beach. This time of the year was very peaceful, not crowded at all. Wonderful restaurants in the area. If I’m back in the area again will definitely check on availability!Terri

Good Ol’ Time Americana

The house was a charming vestige of times gone by that are still very much with us. While unassuming, it offers anything and everything you seek for to spend some lovely time at the best beach in the world. Everything that you need — a place to keep good company and the beach — is right here. If you are particular about cooking, I’d suggest you bring your own cooking utensils. But the Japanese dishes will make your dishes shine. Wonderful location and a very comfortable home. Thank you for sharing your hospitality!

Great mothers day getaway

The house was great. We found everything we needed in the kitchen too which is rare. We loved the porch and so did the dogs. Great views and clean and cozy house. Great surf fishing too. Check in and check out were smooth. We will be back for sure.

Great for beach front, family and dogs

Nice place, comfy beds and furniture. Loved the dogs wash and the porch with a gate. Nice supplied kitchen. Loved having beach chairs to use instead of bringing from home. We will definitely keep on our list of places to stay in Oak Island.

perfect vacation for family with fur babies

this is the perfect beach house with amazing views. It is in a good location to some outstanding restaurants. The view is worth it on the porch overlooking the ocean. Just a few steps to the beach and fur baby friendly. James was great with communication. The home is updated and very clean. We hope to return again soon!

Looking to relax...

Loved the house, the location. Unfortunately for us neighbors in a 3 story next to us were trying to relive their college years with loud, drunken parties that ran to the legal limit of 11 pm. The property management was top notch and very responsive to requests. We're strongly considering putting this rental in our beachfront seasonal rotation.

Relaxing week

The property is located on the beach and offers a deck and porch which makes enjoying the view wonderful. All the beach chairs there are old and rusted. The dog washing station is a nice touch, but the knob is broken off the hose. The grill is charcoal only. The house needs renovation. We had a wonderful time despite these unfortunate concerns

Great House for a small group

We love the house. We were concerned when it was sold and moved to a different realty company, but James has been super responsive when any issues have come up, no matter how small. And they continue to make improvements to the property. We don't take a large extended family to the beach (and don't want to), it is usually just me and my wife and dog, so we are thankful to have such a nice house this size since we could not afford one of the giant houses that are being built these days.

Beautiful views from the wonderful porch. Dogs enjoyed their washing tub!

Lovely beach cottage with updated kitchen, nicely stocked. We loved the porch and porch furniture for some of the most beautiful and relaxing views of the beach! It also had a gate so the dogs good relax there with us. Inside, some of the furniture good be updated but just a few pieces. Dining room table was nice and large for meals and games. We couldn't get 2 of the bedroom TV's to work but we didn't go to the beach to watch TV so not a big deal for us. So happy to find a place where the dogs could come with us! Perfect week!

Great Location

Very nice stay with awesome views of the Beach. The house is located right beyond the sand dunes. If you look up and over the dunes, you will see the rolling of the waves. The house is only about a 7 minute drive to restaurants on OKI or a 15 minute drive to Southport. House comes with an outdoor shower and a foot cleaning station so you can easily clean off before going into the house. The deck was beautiful to watch the sunsets in the evenings. My only complaint was that the house was very dusty and everytime we opened or closed the blinds we got a face full of dust. Even the fridge and wall decorations had a layer of dust. None of the windows or doors had screens so it was hard to open any door or window for a breeze or listen to the ocean. Black flies would always fly in if we had the door open for a minute. Instead we kept the doors and windows closed and use the AC.

Needs attention….

The location was perfect. Beach access easy and as described. Property mgrs were great providing window units when the a/c went out. The house had been cleaned but it needs a deep cleaning. Lots of marks and smudges, dirty oven and some pans not usable, broken and worn blinds. It has so much potential. This could be a real gem!! Like the pics!!

The Best Place to Be!

We loved staying at Somewhere on the Beach! The floor plan and updated features of the home made our visit enjoyable and relaxing for both two and four legged family members! The outdoor space has wonderful high top seating so you could enjoy the ocean views. We really appreciated the folding beach chairs to get even closer to the surf! The kitchen was well equipped for having casual seafood boils at home and we loved the neighborhood seafood markets and restaurants.
