This is the perfect little cottage on the beach. Easy access to the oceanfront. Very clean with all amenities you need. Jeanette was so responsive and helpful. She made the stay even more enjoyable. Only suggestion is to add some towel racks in the main bathroom. I did wish there was a roof over the porch since it rained and I wanted to sit outside and read but we can’t have it all. I would stay here again a million times. It made me fall further in love with Oak Island!

The house was so clean! The house is pet friendly and it had no smell at all. The rooms were clean and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans. View was great and loved being oceanfront. Host was AMAZING! Response time was unlike any other we have rented from. We would definitely stay here again!

Cute older cottage directly on the beach! The Dunes are about eye level but you can still see the water from the house and deck. A/C works great and both showers had great water pressure.

Cozy cottage on the water

I loved the location of this vintage 60's beach house. The house is cozy. Having that first cup of coffee in the morning looking at the waves from the porch was just heaven! The house is in such a good location, everything like grocery stores and restaurants are just minutes away. My family enjoyed our vacation very much.

Location 10! Great host

If you’re looking for a great beach view location, then this place is perfect! It is right on the beach! Couple little things could make it a bit better. Light outside would be helpful. Maybe a small patch of grass for the furry children and a little updated furniture and possibly a covered area on the porch. It was cozy with all necessities. Jeanette was a great host. Loved the entry/exit system keypad access. Highly recommend

Great place! As close to the beach as you can be. I would say that this place is just what it is like in the photos. We weren't able to bring our dog but could see how they would have loved it.

Perfect getaway with our furbabies!

Oceanfront, just over the dunes to the beach! Quiet spot with the cross over to the beach directly in front of the house, which was awesome! The porch was nice with 2 new Adirondack rockers and a tall Adirondack chair set for ocean viewing.We were so glad we were able to take our 2 small dogs with us! The hostess even had a blanket furnished for covering the couch so they could sit with us, and a bin of “doggie necessities” in case we forgot anything! Oak island is very dog friendly. The cottage was just as described. It was quaint and reminded me of my childhood where we spent summers on the island. The cottage was clean and easy to maneuver with front stairs to the front door as well as back stairs to go down for beach access. Everything was in working order and we had no issues. The kitchen is small, but perfect for a beach cottage. The kitchen area was well stocked with everything you need for preparation, cooking, and dining.Communication with the hostess was great and she responded quickly to our questions.We will certainly return to this cottage in the future!

Still love it!

This was my second trip to this wonderful beach house. I loved it as much this time as last. It is my idea of a perfect beach house. My only concern is that by me “singing its praises” to everyone I see, it will be booked up all the time and I won’t be able to rent it again! I definitely want to return!

The house could use some love. The heater would make a loud noise every time it turned on, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

Wonderful vacation!!!

The house was perfect for me and my three friends. It was very clean and best of all had a great porch for us to relax and look at the ocean. It was only a few steps to a beautiful beach. It was quiet, peaceful, and also felt safe for all of us. The property manager was wonderful and I feel certain had we had any problems or concerns, she would have addressed them. As it turned out, though, everything was great just as it was. I loved the house and I love Oak Island!
