Not Accurate
The listing did not show outside pictures, and when we arrived we realized it was actually a mobile home in the middle of the neighborhood. The place was updated inside somewhat, but the outside looked rough and the doors and windows and everything were in bad shape. the porch furniture just needs to be trashed, and the beds were very uncomfortable.

Awesome Stay at Oak Island!
My friends and I enjoyed our stay at this Cottage. The home was very clean and the remodeling looked very well. The A/C worked great on such a hot week. Plenty of room to sit and enjoy while relaxing from the beach. The communication was great from the owners and I plan to stay at this home again in the near future. Thank you!!!

The property site is accurate in photos. The distance to walk to beach was longer than I expected. However, we simply drove to the beach and easily found paid parking ($20/daily). Beds were comfy. Recommend a blender for the property (we did not bring). I like good water pressure and this property was 👍. Stayed three days. Beach is very nice for walking! Owner communicated very timely in booking and during stay.

Much needed getaway. Property was located exactly as was stated in listing, however construction on the 9th street access to the beach was under construction so walked a mile to the beach.

We stayed the weekend for the Run Oak Island race that Saturday. Owners initiated information before I could ask and if I did have a question they responded quickly and were very accommodating! House was clean, beds were comfortable and the location worked great! Will stay again for future races!

Nice Litte House
This property was perfect for our family's long weekend to Oak Island. The kids loved the bunk bed and took turns between that and the queen bed in the other room. The property was very clean upon arrival and there was a nice little "goodie" basket with some snacks, water, etc. The kitchen/dining/living area was nice and open. The walk to the beach was easy, and we walked each day. But if you're not inclined to walk, there is daily public parking for $20. Since this was a short trip we just cooked in each night, but there are many great places to eat nearby.

Easy and comfortable!
This is a great little house and Brian and Lindsay were good hosts. They sent all the info we needed ahead of time and then let us be to enjoy our vacation. The property was clean, neat, and had everything we needed. We did walk to the beach once but ended up driving to the beach access other times so we could more easily carry gear like an umbrella, chairs, and coolers - but the beach was very close and it was easy to get there. We appreciated the restaurant recommendations and other info. Overall we had a great, relaxing time!

Weekend get away
We enjoyed staying at the cottage. It was perfect for a nice long weekend. The only suggestion we have would be adding a blind to the door to the back porch from the bedroom for privacy.

Super sweet house
Everything we needed. You have the ability to purchase sheets, and once you do they will have the beds made up for you when you arrive. It is a very nice house with lots of room. Has all you need to cook, clean, and be as close to home as you can be at the beach. Close to the beach and all the other things on the east side of the island. They were great. I would for sure stay again!
