Quiet beach house steps away from the ocean with private pier to view the marsh.

We loved the property especially the deck overlooking the Marsh.Well stocked, loved how well the tvs worked(easy to figure out)

The house was very convenient ,very short walk to the beach .all updates to the home were very cozy .just needs a bit more grass for dogs to do there pottyin!overall great house ! we have an old English puppy almost a year old he loved the Beach !

The beds were comfortable and there were lots of pillows and blankets. There were exactly 5 plastic hangers provided for a house that sleeps 8, which isn't practical. The rough rocks on the driveway are very hard on a dog's paws and this is listed as a pet friendly rental. The air conditioning was cold, which was great. The indoor shower is also nice. In general, the house is run down and needs repairs/maintenance--the deck and the stairs especially. The beach chairs that were provided were all broken or so rusty that they wouldn't open. The only beach shovel was missing 1/2 of the shovel. The 1 boogie board was ok, but the house sleeps 8. The vacuum cleaner smelled really bad and barely worked at all.

We left our 2 week rental after 4 days. When we arrived on the correct date and time another group was occupying the property. i tried to contact the host through vrbo without success. The only contact number I had was for the cleaner for the property.She was as helpful as she could be but it was an extended amount of time before the host responded. The host said it was a mix-up. Obviously the other party used the same door code that we were given. The lack of security prompted us to vacate the property. As a side note-I inquired about the grill that was listed as an amenity but not present, eventually the host said they had a recent guest break in, the grill must have be stolen. I did suggest to the host that a property manager might be in order if she is not accessible to her guests.

Here’s a short, balanced review that highlights both the positives and the areas for improvement:---We really enjoyed our stay! The house was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and it was just a quick walk to the beach. The quiet street, dog-friendly policy, and private dock overlooking the marsh were big highlights. The sunsets each evening were breath-taking. As bird enthusiasts loved watching wildlife from the marsh dock. The host was responsive and helped quickly with an internet issue. A few things could be improved—there was no grill even though it was listed, and we had to move some trash and wet insulation off to the side under the house. Still, overall a great spot and we'd stay again if minor issues addressed.

The house was good for us. We did find a couple of bugs, but nothing unreasonable. Overall the experience was a good one. The bathroom was adequate and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed having the sundeck in the front and the street was quiet. All things considered, it was a pleasant stay. The television could stand to have an antenna added, because the streaming can be a little confusing for tech idiots like me.

It was nice

Over all charming a few hiccups that were addressed immediately. Was not impressed with the amount of ant motels around kitchen countertops. The front deck was a bit rough.

Perfect location on Oak Island! Situated on the marsh, enjoy the view from the kitchen window or walk out onto the dock to observe wildlife with the changing tides. This was our favorite spot for coffee each morning. Enjoy the sounds of the ocean from the deck on the opposite side of the house or take the 2 minute walk to the ocean. House is small, but was clean, comfortable -just right for a relaxing long weekend for our family of four. Being able to bring our dog was an added bonus!

This home is lovely! Everything listed met expectations. Will definitely stay here again!

Well stocked kitchen, good decor. Plenty of seating. Loved the pier out to the marsh and only a short walk to the ocean. The owner was super friendly and responsive to any questions. Great check-in process. I would stay here again!

This was a perfect stay for us. I was so appreciative of the hosts letting us in a bit early, which was super helpful with two little ones and our dog! The space was great, well stocked, very short walk to the beach. The private dock was amazing and we enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets there. I’d suggest the fan blades being cleaned more regularly and having a laundry basket. It did get very hot in the unit in the afternoon, which was posted as an FYI. Overall a wonderful stay!

We were so happy with this sweet little house on the marsh and steps away from the beach! It was like home away from home, we will be back!!

This place was a great location and a short walk to the beach. We loved the private boardwalk! The description said there was a pull out couch but there wasn’t. The air conditioning unit doesn’t really work and it got hot! There’s a sign that says they hope to get it fixed in the future but maybe a few more window units would help. All in all it was a cute place but could use some updates like the air conditioning, maybe string lights on the patio, and weed whack some over growth on the boardwalk. Upon arrival it looked like personal items from previous guests were left behind, making us question the thoroughness of the cleaning.

Great house, quiet location but just a short walk to beach. Deck is perfect for morning coffee and late afternoon gatherings for the family. Beds were great although the bunk bed mattresses were very thin. But who cares - we were at the beach! The water doesn’t come in enough to fish off the dock but it is a great place to hang out and watch nature. If I had any suggestions to offer, it would be to have at least one cabinet where guests could store food. But I have never seen a kitchen so well-equipped. We will definitely be back!
