Incredible host!!! Great communication and willingness to satisfy his guest. This is our second stay with Pete and hopefully there will be many more in the years to come. Great peaceful location and the feel of a cottage--don't feel as if you can't touch anything or it might break--very cozy! I just can't express how much we enjoyed staying with Pete. God bless!

This place was big enough to hold our family comfortably, great view of the ocean and beach. Quick access to store for groceries. Property owner was quick to respond and extremely helpful during our stay! We would love to come back in the future!

We had a beach family vacation including 11 people with a combination of adults and teenagers (our 3rd year to OKI, 1st at this house). The layout of the place was good for us. The teenagers enjoyed the bunk room and everyone felt comfortable sleeping. We also had space to eat together and hangout in the kitchen/living room. The location of the property was great in a quiet neighborhood and the beach was not crowded. You can't beat oceanfront! We enjoyed the front porch in the mornings/evenings and the beach access. As others have said, the place needs some attention. When we arrived, the house was very dirty and hadn't been cleaned. We found trash behind beds when we were putting sheets on, and the floors had not been mopped. There was dust/sand on all surfaces. The house had not been deep cleaned in a long time and we found cockroaches. We spent the first 3 hours of our vacation cleaning, which is something I have never had to do at Vrbo. I was pretty upset because all of the reviews had depicted the property as "rustic" but clean, which is what I was expecting. The owner was responsive at first and explained the difficulty with getting reliable cleaning service, which is understandable. He also said he wanted to make it right, but in the end, he did not. Once we cleaned the place (2 of us for 3 hours solid) we had a great time with family and enjoyed the beach.

The location of this property was amazing. The beach access made it a very easy to come and go to the beach. I loved sitting on the back porch with a great ocean view!

The home was very nice. It wasn't brand-new and that's what we expected, a home that has been lived in and comfortable, a place where, though being respectful, you didn't feel like you had to walk on pins and needles to mess anything up. It is right on the ocean. The morning was a favorite of mine when the sun was first coming up...it seems like my coffee tasted better then. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and the grill was a favorite of mine since I used it practically every night. Looking forward to booking it again.

The location can't be beat, and the property owner is very responsive. We've stayed here before and will definitely stay here again.

My sisters and 2 friends spent a week here in April 2024. Although the cottage could use a little "sprucing up", we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly rent it again. Found a great place for breakfast at the Old Bridge Diner! And a wonderful dinner at The Island Way restaurant.

The beach house was very relaxing. It had an old rustic look, but the best thing is you can hear the waves crashing against the beach all night. Spent most our time sitting on the deck looking and listening to the water.

A fantastic place to stay! Super clean and comfortable. Host was awesome. Amenities were perfect. Couldn’t ask for a better home on the beach! Will 100% book again and for more days!

We had a wonderful time staying in this beach home listening to the waves and reading books. Truly a warm experience that brought back fond memories of visiting coastal Carolina as a kid. We cooked breakfast and lunch in the house and went out for seafood for dinner at the tasty local restaurants. The host was easy to get along with, extremely accommodating and very communicative making the overall experience second to none - seriously just a top notch down to earth person. We absolutely would stay here again and recommend this home for your next vacation too.

We were four lady golfers here for a golf tournament at the Clubs at St James (about 13 minutes away). The house could hold many more but we enjoyed having our own rooms. The house is charming but could use a few cosmetic repairs. But you can’t beat the view and proximity to the ocean! Thanks, Pete!

Clean, NO BUGS! Old but very nice! This is our second time staying there & will definitely stay there again! Would like a small mirror over the chest of drawers in the master bedroom. The other bedroom (queen only) the ceiling fan was very dusty. The other ones were not. Also could sure use some better pots & pans. The baking pans should be discarded. The ones in oven drawer. Love the location!!

This ocean front home is such a great place to stay. This was our second time there and will not be our last. It is conveniently located to several places that we love on Oak Island. The owner is very nice and easy to work with to make our trip a great experience. We absolutely love sitting out on the beautiful deck and enjoying the beach and ocean.

We had a fine stay here. Only two of us so we didnt take advantage of the multiple beds. We had some nice coffees on the beach facing porch after the big storm had come through in August. Thanks.

I traveled with my 5 grandchildren and daughter and daughter in law. We had the best experience at Oak Island. We had never visited the island before and found it to be amazing.
We enjoyed our stay in your delightful cottage. The view of the ocean was superb and the distance to the beach was perfect for the young and the old (me, ha). Your well stocked cottage was filled with good quality items such as mattresses, pillows, blankets, kitchen ware. There was nothing you did not have that we needed. My grandchildren also enjoyed being able to stay together in the bunk rooms. The layout of the house added to our comfort.
I did want to let you know that there were a couple of issues on the porches. The corner board on the landing was loose on the front, screen was on front door and some of the soffit was missing on the back. I know it could have been due to a storm but should be fixed.
Otherwise, thanks for letting us use your charming beach house.

Love this place! Perfect for our family to stay! Very comfortable beds and lots of room for our gang to gather around the table, or the den for a movie or the deck to hang out. Beach access is perfect!

What a cute old fashion beach house. We absolutely loved the back porch and the views it offered every morning. Oh, and the great beach access! Overall this was a great house and I would recommend staying there. It offers all the necessities and a little more. Our only complaint would be regarding the ac. The queen bedroom stayed considerably warmer than the rest of the house. Just make sure you keep a fan running.

Great location, easy to find, spacious, comfy furniture and beds, with exception of Queen Bed. Needs new Box Spring. Easy access to beach. Well stocked in Kitchen, lots of beach accessories. Our family definitely made memories.
Home was not cleaned well upon arrival. Car got stuck due to, too much sand on the driveway and could see where the concrete ended. Driveway needs to be cleared of sand better.
All drains in house were clogged or slow drain. Luckily son is a plumber and unclogged drains.
Home seemed over priced for how outdated it was. Also, suggest owner hire new Maintance and cleaning company! Dealing with owner was great!

Very quaint and comfy home with everything we needed to relax and enjoy a family vacation. We loved that it was a community of homes and not high rises or businesses, although stores are nearby for shopping. The beach was clean and not crowded and we had a great time shell hunting and even found a couple of shark teeth. We'll definitely be back!

It was NOT fancy or even very modern, but it had everything needed, and the location was absolutely perfect! The beds were comfortable with quality mattresses. Having linens and towels provided was an extra bonus. The family enjoyed the large kitchen table, and the deck off the back was superb. What we got for the price we paid was very reasonable. I had stayed previously on the east side of Beach Drive; I enjoyed the stay on the west side much better. I don't know how you could go wrong with the location, 4 bedrooms, and a very helpful host. Our stay was delightful. I heartily endorse the rental property and will most likely return for another stay there.

We loved this property, though the cleaning staff needs work.
The view of the ocean was amazing, so much so that we chose to get married right out on the beach!
If you come you will love it,... make sure to bring bug spray for the"no see em gnats" on the deck!

We came to this house with our 3 young-adult children and our teenager. I have to admit, I was a little concerned that the house would be a little too small for us from the pictures. We were pleasantly surprised at how roomy it was. While the house is not super large, all the spaces are used very well, and the high ceilings gave it a very open feel. The bedrooms were nice sized and beds very comfortable. It is a beautiful rustic kind of house and is sort of like a blast from the past in a nice way. It does need a little TLC, but that didn’t bother us and it accommodated our family very well. The porch facing the ocean was a super hit for us. We spent quite a lot of time relaxing on the porch, watching dolphins, and local creatures/birds. We even got to see jellyfish washed up on the shore. The beach is calm, quiet, and beautiful, unless there is a storm and theres lots of shells. We really enjoyed the new Thai and vine restaurant in town and we got amazing doughnuts almost every morning from I believe OKI doughnut shop. It was a wonderful experience and we would certainly rent this house again. Thank you for letting us use your house!! Blessings!

Property as described. Cozy older beach home. Definitely needs some TLC, but we will be back for sure. The beds are so comfy and the view of the beach is priceless. Would recommend to other families!
