We had a wonderful time. The house is in a great location and is only a short walk to the beach or ice cream. The only downside is the outdoor shower gives no privacy what so ever besides the outdoor shower this is a wonderful home for a large or small family.

After staying last summer, we were so excited to return and feel at home. We noticed a few updates, which were terrific, and we had everything we needed: well-stocked kitchen, awesome location, beach chairs & wagon for the farmer's market. Loved it!

Wonderful home in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to everything needed. The grass could have used a trim, but once inside it was quickly forgotten, because this home is spotless! By far the cleanest I have ever stayed in. I especially enjoyed the screened in porch. Thank you Evelyn!

Great location, great house, great host!
Location: walk to beach, restaurants, grocery and more. Get rental bicycles delivered if you want, or walk to a place that rents golf carts. Quiet street in nice neighborhood.
House: Comfortable indoor and outdoor gathering places, roomy bedrooms, 3 full baths, nice kitchen with eating area plus dining room, screened porch. Pleasant, comfortable, homey.
Host: Evelyn is great! Outstanding communication and really cares about her property and her guests. We had two minor issues during the week and she responded instantly -- I mean right away! -- with solutions.
Highly recommend this property.

We couldn't have been happier with our stay. The house was clean and the beds and pillows were comfortable. The owner responded quickly to any questions. The location is great with the beach 3 blocks away and groceries, restaurants, ice cream, etc. all within a short walk. The public park and pier along the intercostal is at the end of the street. Hope to stay here next summer.

We had such a nice experience staying at Tranquil Harbor.
The house is lovely, with plenty of room and beautiful decor! The beds were very comfortable and the street was very quiet. The house and kitchen had everything we needed! We hope to stay again in October this year!

This home was perfect for our first Oak Island family vacation. Short walk to the beach, nature center, playground, and grocery store. Everyone, including the pups, had a great visit! Thank you, Evelyn, for sharing your home.

Plenty of room to enjoy family but also to have private space. Cute neighborhood and an easy walk to the beach. We enjoyed the screened in porch while it rained, and the big deck in the sunshine. Would recommend to anyone!

We had three families including three generations together for a birthday celebration. What a wonderful place to stay! Our hostess was in touch to ensure we had everything we needed. The house was very clean and in terrific shape. A great location to walk to the sound in one direction and to the beach in the other. I highly recommend this place when you have a lot of people. Large enough for everyone to have their own space but small enough to foster family togetherness.

My family visited Oak Island recently for the first time. I was in town to run the marathon. We had a party of 6, and I couldn’t have picked a better house to stay for the weekend. I also loved that she welcomed pets as we also brought our Golden Retriever Harley. The house was clean, comfortable, convenient, and cost effective. The house is an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, groceries, and to the start/finish of the race.. Evelyn was very responsive to our needs and offered both an early check in and late checkout.

This home was perfect for our family to get together to celebrate a late Christmas and bring in the New Year. The fire pit was a hit with our granddaughter. Very convenient to shopping and restaurants.

This home was a great stay for us while vacationing on Oak Island. The home has had various updates and looks great. It has newer A/C units and they both work very well. Nicely decorated outdoor fire pit area, great location, and the host even let us use their beach gear! Perfect! It really only took us about 2 minutes to walk to the beach, plus you walk right by the pond where Ollie the REAL alligator lives on the way to the beach, so you can stop and say hi! Host is AMAZING and we will surely be back!!

Inner Child Gone Wild was a perfect house for our family vacation with 2 adult kids and a teen, along with 2 dogs. Plenty of space indoors, lovely deck and screened porch, and a quiet street that was somehow near everything we needed: easy beach access, groceries, restaurants, donut & ice cream shop, even a farmer's market. We would love to visit again!

Great family beach vacation
Great location, great house, you can walk to almost anything including the free nature center and educational center.
I had some concerns when we first arrived. The owner went above and beyond to resolve our concerns and we would gladly stay at one of her properties again.

Always a fantastic time
This was our second stay on this property. The house is very spacious and clean. Walking (short) distance to the beach. Tons of restaurants, ice cream shops, coffee shops, and grocery stores around. The property manager is super responsive and fantastic to work with. We always have a great time when we stay here.

Excellent, relaxing stay!
This was a dream house for our family - there was so much space that we never felt like we were on top of each other, but there were plenty of spaces for us to all be together too. The distance from the beach was ideal, and it’s close to everything you need on the island. Check in, check out, and communication throughout were a breeze! This quickly became one of our favorite stays.

Sweet Rental
What a lovely home! We traveled from Ohio for our first trip to the Oak Island and thankfully was able to rent the perfect beach home! The bedroom combinations were perfect for the 5 younger adults traveling with us. I was able to work a few mornings using the desk in the upstairs alcove. The sun porch and front deck areas were well utilized by everyone. The kitchen was well appointed, though hardly used as we ate out so often! The walk to the beach, ice cream and donuts, Strands, Publix, etc. was very short and easy. All in all this was a great vacation home for everyone who joined us this week. Thanks for being such a great host!

Quiet
We enjoyed our stay. The property itself was spacious and comfortable. Beach chairs and wagon are provided. There were some appliance issues but they were minor annoyances. We had trouble finding prepared food, it seems the island restaurants are overwhelmed. Crosswalks are needed getting across the street to the beach.

Fantastic vacation spot
This is a beautiful 4 bedroom vacation house. Plenty of room for the whole extended family and 2 gentle dogs. Everything we needed was provided. Even had a cart and beach chairs that we could take on our short walk to the sand and water. Publix grocery is within easy walking distance. Great fresh fish market is a 3 minute drive. Carolina National Golf Course only 20 minutes away. Spent a lot of time on the beach. Family board games rounded out several evenings. Evelyn is a terrific host! She went out of her way to make us comfortable. A really great vacation place! Thank you!!

Family Trip
We loved the proximity to the beach and grocery store. We rented a golf cart and that was convenient to go to the beach and explore the neighborhood. There’s a cute park on the sound at the end of the street. Pier and nature trail. My children loved that. The house was lovely for a big family. The guest rooms were spacious.
