    Fantastic – that’s the one word to describe our first visit to Oak Island. Time in a Bottle is the perfect house for a beach getaway. We’ve never stayed at a beach where we had this much privacy and room on the sand. With at least 50 yards of open beach on both sides of our setup, it truly felt like we had our own private stretch of coastline. The house itself is beautifully decorated, with super comfortable beds and every amenity you could possibly need, including a grill – which was a game changer for us. We loved being able to cook fresh seafood without having to go out to eat every night. The location is ideal, just a short walk to the point, and we enjoyed morning walks collecting shells and taking in the peaceful views. Amy was easy to contact, and her home is so well organized, with everything clearly labeled, making our stay effortless. What more could a guest ask for? We’re already looking forward to returning to Oak Island and staying at Time in a Bottle again.

    Perfect beach house....amazing views of the ocean from the moment you walk in the door! I believe this is the best stocked beach house we've ever rented. Can't think of anything that was missing. Comfortable beds, linens, towels galore, beach towels, beach chairs, and well stocked kitchen!

    The location and views were perfect, along with plenty of places to sit on the porch. Check-in could have been better - they were having trouble with a lockbox, which, to their credit was fixed during our stay. All the furniture we used was very wien and uncomfortable, which was a bummer. Oberall, really good, just not great.

    This was our 2nd time staying at Time in a Bottle. This house has incredible views and is in a great location. We enjoyed walking the short distance to The Point, wading through the tide pools and watching the sunset. The house is clean, well organized and well stocked with basic supplies. The owner kept us well informed and responded promptly to our questions. We look forward to visiting again!

    The Time in a Bottle home was a perfect spot for our family beach vacation. The view from the well-stocked kitchen is amazing, cozy living room, comfy beds, all the beach toys and chairs you need all made our time memorable! The owner was kind and very responsive. We will certainly keep this house in mind when looking to book our next beach getaway.

    Our family, ranging in ages 3 to 70, came to stay for a birthday celebration. The house, the location & the hostess could not have been more perfect. The house is spotless, beautifully & comfortably decorated, and so many thoughtful additions from games, the TV options, comfortable beds, nice linens & towels, everything was thought through for a memorable stay. The view is beautiful & so many vantage points!! If you are thinking about this location, you won’t be disappointed
