Pool, breezy porch, w/ beach access

NatalieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
First off. She is one of the sweetest host you will talk to. She offered early check in. The House looked just like photos and more. Loved that she had gates on deck for safety with little kids. The pool was great and loved the short walk to the beach. Very peaceful neighborhood. She had tons of beach chairs and pool floats. We will be back. This was one of our favorite places

Family Beach Escape 2nd Row Pool Elevator & Views

DanaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Chris was an amazing host! Check in was a breeze and Chris was extremely communicative. This house is beautiful and it is HUGE. The layout is great. The proximity to the beach is amazing. The pool is stunning. Being able to open the doors to the many decks that surround the house and feel the ocean breeze while also listening to the waves crash on the shore is the ultimate beach experience in my opinion. The kitchen was well stocked. The furniture was high quality and comfortable. The house was spotless. Every single amenity you could possibly need, is available in this house. The hosts have literally thought of EVERYTHING. The beach gear was an awesome perk also. We had the perfect getaway and will rent again for our next family vacation.

Gather at the Beach! | Ocean Views | Elevator

MeganRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We absolutely loved our stay at POSH! Location is incredible and the easiest quick walk to the beach (just across the street is the beach access). House is exactly as described and perfect for family gatherings - multiple fridges and dishwashers. The home was clean and well equipped. The private pool was great as well. Kerry was so responsive and kind. We will absolutely be rebooking this property again!

5 o’clock Always

JamieRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Great place for a family of eight! We had one toddler and one infant with six adults. We had plenty of space! The kids enjoyed the pool and golf cart (purchased golf cart separately). Our adult kids also enjoyed the golf cart. The host was responsive to all questions and keeps a very nice place. The pool shed had a small wagon to take to the beach which was an added bonus we weren’t expecting. We also found a playpen for the infant which saved us from having to unpack ours. The outside shower was also fantastic after a day at the beach to keep from taking sand inside (if you have kids, you know what a task this can be). Also, when I left, I immediately added the sheets that were on the King bed to my Amazon list. So comfortable! We were within two blocks of the beach, coffee shops, and good food. Our favorite for breakfast was Fixins!

KateRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Brook and Reds house was wonderful, we had a great stay and our entire family enjoyed the house. There were many options with the bedroom setups, and with our large group that was extremely convenient. The fenced-in yard was spectacular; the kids and dog loved playing in a safe and fun space. The fire pit was a great feature that we all enjoyed. Everything about the house was great, and the close proximity to the beach and activities made for a pretty magical week.

Beautiful property with direct access to the beach. Spotless interior with a well appointed kitchen and incredibly comfortable beds. We've stayed at dozens of Air BnBs and this one is fantastic! Communication with host was excellent. Highly recommend this property.

150 steps to the beach, Two Seasters Duplex C1

JanetRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Melinda‘s place had everything I needed, plus a few extras. These hosts are so friendly and welcoming, from comfortable beds and couches, a well equipped kitchen, to even providing a box of fresh donuts, and a bottle of wine! Great communicators, too. I loved how close we were to the beach. You can see the dunes from the end of the driveway and it just takes a couple of minutes to walk there. It was so close I walked barefoot so I didn’t have to deal with leaving my shoes in the sand. It is a beautiful beach and the pier is very close. We were walking distance from a cute little breakfast place and several restaurants that suited us perfectly.

Lil Salty

AndyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our family has gone to Oak Island every year around Memorial Day for the last 6 years and we've always been looking for a spot that we can return to every year. Nothing has been quite right. Until we stayed here. This spot has everything we love. Right on the beach with easy access. Great layout with big beautiful windows. Something fun for the boys to play (air hockey). Really comfy beds. Very clean. Walking distance to all our favorite restaurants. It was great. We will definitely be back!

Adam And EvaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Couldn’t ask for a better location. Gorgeous views of the ocean, easy access to the beach, walk to grocery stores and restaurants. The bottom of the house is basically a big sandbox that our 4 year old and dog could play in all day. Peaceful and relaxing vacation. We’d stay here again!

Ready Reserve Beach Family Bliss

AlyssaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a wonderful stay at Sandy’s place. The house was clean, didn’t have a bad smell, and without stains. The kitchen was stocked with utensils and cooking items we needed throughout our stay. We were steps away from the beach, which was great and the views were amazing. The house is located in a perfect spot. A couple miles from the point to view sunsets and 8 miles to restaurants and shops. The house is also located in between 2 public beach access points so the beach area behind the house was never busy with other beach goers. We appreciated the baby and kid items at the house for our family. Our only complaints were that the wifi wasn’t very fast, and the walk path to the beach was a little weedy. Overall this was the perfect house and beach spot for our family vacation. Check in and checkout instructions were simple and Sandy was very helpful when we had questions and easy to communicate with. We have already recommended this house to others and would love to go back.

One of my favorite AirBNB stays. The house is on the third row from the ocean and is an easy walk to the beach, even with kids and a dog. The house was generously stocked with everything we needed for 5 days. We loved the beach supplies and the comfy porch. We would love to stay here again.

Marguerite's place is on a quiet street very accessible to both beach and Yacht Dr., on the waterway, which is our favorite beach cycling choice. The water was very warm for June 1...I stayed in all day one day. She made everything easy and perfect for us. Wonderful front porch! Beautifully landscaped! Thanks Marguerite!

Beautiful Beach Vacation House

LetitiaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We enjoyed our stay, and everything was very accessible from this home. We walked to Publix for convenient groceries and grabbed pizza at Dominos. We had a seafood boil take out at Outer Banks Boil Company where we steamed up fresh seafood and ingredients in the convenience of the beach home. The beach is only 2 blocks away and it is an easy walkable pathway to get there. All in all I would recommend this beach home due to its prime location!
