We had a great time at "The Tree House". Kitchen was well equipped to feed a family of four for a few days. Clean and Bright! Comfortable mattresses. Just what we needed for a late summer beach getaway without paying oceanfront prices. Beautiful beach is just a couple minutes away.

Penny's place was so clean and organized. Just a short drive to the beach and the intercoastal waterway at the end of the road. Awesome place and hope to return soon.

Very clean and quiet. Nice location.

Easy on the pocket book. Great location. Just what we wanted.

Nice little efficiency within walking distance. The host was great and willing to provide little extras to help with the stay. Oak Island is wonderful and cant wait to go back

Belle expérience! L'emplacement était idéal pour des vacances au calme, un accès très facile à la plage, dix minutes en voiture de toute la salle que vous pourriez souhaiter. L'espace était privé, parfaitement équipée avec les bases, et parfait pour deux. J'ai apporté mon chien et il se sentait comme à la maison. Merci pour la grande expérience!

The place was great. I loved the location. I have absolutely no complaints. The price was AWESOME!! It hard to afford getting a way on a fixed retiree income. So, I really appreciated Davis for making it economical. The beds were comfortable, the shower was great and No water issues. Davis was an awesome host. I really appreciated the room manual. He answered all my questions ASAP and helped us out by letting us check in early because our check out time was 10:00 am at the previous AIRBNB. And to top that off, he let us use the beach chairs, out door shower and car port until we wanted because he didn't have another guest coming. It made the beach day great.

This was just what we needed for a quick couple of days at the beach. The room is exactly as described. It was clean and convenient. As an adult with two teenage girls on a budget, we felt safe and cozy. We would easily return.

La chambre de Davis était Airbnb parfait pour un petit week-end avec notre chiot! Il avait tout ce que nous avions besoin et la proximité de la plage était merveilleux - je pense que ce serait un endroit agréable pour séjourner en été, car il n'y a pas une quantité ridicule de maisons à proximité, donc vous avez une plage plus privée. Davis était fantastique à communiquer et fait en sorte que nous avions tout ce que nous pourrions avoir besoin. La seule * légère * (et je ne veux légères) inconvénients étaient que nous ne pouvions pas régler le courant alternatif (et ce ne fut que dans les années 70 alors que nous étions là-bas et nous avons eu un peu chaud) et le fait qu'il est l'étage inférieur, donc vous pouvez entendre les étapes occasionnelles en tête (mais ils étaient calmes tout au long de la nuit, il ne nous dérangeait pas, à l'exception de notre chiot étant en état d'alerte quand elle a entendu les pas ci-dessus). Dans l'ensemble, je recommande l'inscription de Davis. L'emplacement est merveilleux et le prix est vraiment imbattable pour un endroit sûr et confortable pour rester!

Had a wonderful time. This apartment was exactly as expected. Added bonus of television and cable also so I could watch the news in the evenings and mornings. Less than a block from the beach and my dogs loved running on the beach (no leash required during this visit time of year). Owner was very nice, very helpful, and friendly. I would definitely stay here again. Price is great too. Recommendations: 1 - On the island souvenir shopping - Eagles is open most times so remember that when you want to pick up souvenirs and/or gifts for yourself and friends. Eagles has very nice tee shirts and two for $18. 2 - On the island for morning coffee, I would recommend the Flying Pig Coffeehouse. 3 - On the island watering holes: Chaser's Sports Bar & Grill and Lazy Turtle Bar & Grill located directly on the beach. 4 - On the island, The Flying Fish Cafe and Mahi Mahi fish tacos, shrimp quesadilla, or grilled cheese with bacon, brie, pears, and caramelized onions on sourdough. . 5 - Southport hot breakfast - Taylor Cuisine Cafe on N. Howe St. 6 - Southport restaurants - Yacht Basin Provision Company, Frying Pan, and Old American Fish Company waterfront bar when they are open for the season. For fine dining, Mr. P's Bistro. The food and service are perfection! Reservations may be required so plan accordingly and enjoy! 7 - Another great shopping place in Southport is Ocean Outfitters. I always make a special trip there. 8 - Take the time visit the Waterfront Park in Southport. There are many park benches and swings to sit and enjoy the waterfront view and chat with friends and family. Next time I visit I want to plan a meal at Turtle Island Restaurant on the island. I heard the fried seafood is very good there.

This place was perfect for a couples getaway, a few minute walk to the beach, would highly recommend.

The house is great. So very clean!! Had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Close to restaurants and beach access.

This was a fantastic find. We absolutely love Oak Island and this was the perfect place for our getaway. Check in and check our were simple, the house was clean and nicely decorated, and the location was fantastic. It's convenient to town and right by our favorite breakfast spot. Very happy with our stay!

Clean, updated home 4 minute drive to the beach. Hosts communicated well! Would definitely return!

This was our first trip to Oak Island and this will be our vacation spot for years to come. The area was beautiful, plenty of restaurants and little shops. You have everything you need within a mile. The home was VERY clean, beautiful decorated and had everything we needed. I love sitting on the screened in porch at night. So peaceful and relaxing. Check in and check out was a breeze. The owner is very quick to respond, even late at night. Stop looking and just book this house, you won't regret it!!

This home is very inviting, neat and clean and located in a quiet neighborhood close to shops and the beach. We would love to stay there again.

Perfect!

Owner went way above and beyond to work with me and accommodate my quirky schedule. The reservation and check in process was very smooth. Home was in a great location; was well equipped, clean and comfortable! Will definitely stay there again!

Thanks for a great place to stay. The house was very clean and well represented by the pictures. We appreciated having a washer and dryer to get our clothes clean before going home.

A beautiful and updated place by the beach, exceptionally comfortable beds and a beautiful deck overlooking a live oak. Would definitely stay again!

This home was recently updated and is comfortably furnished. There is a porch with a gate at the top of the stairs to keep children from tumbling down. The beach is a short walk away and the neighborhood is family friendly.

Leigh's place is beautiful and well decorated! We loved the nice quiet neighborhood and comfortable accommodations. Our only issue during stay was the cleaning could've been better prior to our arrival. Thank you Leigh for sharing your home!

Great house having one bathroom was kind of hard but other than that it was amazing!

Leigh's place was fantastic. It was in a great location, clean, spacious, and just a real lovely place. We loved that it was pet friendly, in a quite area and close to the beach. I would recommend her place to anyone looking for a great value and great host. would definitely stay again!

So glad I stumbled upon Two Salty Dogs. The house was very clean, well equipped, and has all of the amenities that you need for an awesome beach vacation. Everything in the home is brand new and modern. The neighborhood is very quiet and located within walking distance to the beach. We loved spending time on the deck and enjoying the beach breeze. We really liked the notebook that had menus from a variety of local restaurants as well as activities in the area. Check-in was easy and Leigh was incredibly helpful and answered any questions that we had quickly. I am already planning a trip to come back!

So pleased we found Two Salty Dogs during our vacation search on Oak Island, Nc. The house was beautiful and very modern, with the perfect mix of comfort and class. The owners were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. They made every effort to make our stay enjoyable and worry free. The house had ample parking and was within walking distance to both the beach and the Intercostal waterway. It was also located close to the new Oak Island bridge which made it a quick drive to Lowes foods, Surf cinema, and Southport. Look forward to staying here for future vacations on beautiful Oak Island, NC!

Great location. Close enough to bike to the beach. Recommend driving down the island to the south and enjoying the calmer waters. Accessing restaurants and stores made the stay a breeze. Neighbors are friendly and offer great recommendations to the island.

The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

AMAZING accommodations and an equally amazing hostess. Beautiful spacious home that's only minutes from the beach- easy and scenic walk to the ocean. Plenty to do in the area, and Traci has lots of wonderful suggestions for restaurants and activities. Traci's warm hospitality and lovely home made for a perfect beach getaway weekend, and we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Traci, THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT OF YOUR HOME! It made our trip that much more special <3

This is a wonderful place to stay. 7 minutes to the beach and you come back to a great house with a very fine host who just wants you to enjoy your stay. The house is immaculate and well located. I look forward to returning to stay here again.

Traci's location is great in that it's close enough to the ocean that you can easily walk to the beach, yet removed from the crowd so that evenings are relaxing. The walk to the beach is quick, maybe 10-15 minutes, and it takes you along a lovely wooden walkway that crosses a canal where you can observe snowy egrets and fiddler crabs. You can also drive quickly to the many beach access points, as there are plenty of parking spaces. Also walkable from Traci's place is a public park along the Intercoastal Waterway where you can observe boats gliding by from a shady gazebo. The room is thoughtfully equipped, the bed is very comfortable, and the bathroom is large and eclectically furnished (vessel sink, sunflower shower head in the shower stall). There's even an outdoor shower in her backyard! Traci is very welcoming and informative about the local scene. She makes everything about your stay easy. Her two cats are delightful! A perfect retreat!

Great cottage, cute kitties and wonderful friendly host. She spent more time than I had hoped for telling us about Oak Island and the surrounding area. Such a nice place with an equally nice host!

Outstanding accommodations! Traci's lovely house will make your vacation the best it can be. Sparking clean, modern, ranch style house, quiet neighborhood, great location, and a gracious host. What more can you ask for? If we're ever down that way again, we'll definitely stay with Traci. 5 stars in every category.

Perfekter kleiner Fleck, um der Hektik des Alltags zu entfliehen. Günstig gelegen in der Nähe von Hauptstraßen für Radtouren. Schöner Strand trifft Landgefühl. Paulas Auge für alle Spritzer der Farbe waren perfekt für die Hütte!

Paula is a great communicator. Her place is cutesy fruitsy, clean with everything we needed. It was the perfect size for me and my hubby. Great place to walk. Beach isn't far by car and there are lots of public access areas. Thanks, Paula! We had a blast!

Adorable little home close to everything you could possibly want to do or see. Paula was a wonderful and attentive host. Can't wait to come back.

우리 가족 - 유아, 엄마와 조부모 -이 매력적으로 장식, 편안하고, 편리 집에서 조용한 몇 일을 즐겼다. 편안한 침대, 갑판, 기분 좋게 하루 동안 켜집니다. 필요에 따라 호스트는 우리의 숙박 예약에서와 전반에 걸쳐 매우 도움이되었다. 우리는 반환 할 수 있도록 노력하겠습니다.

Pauls Haus ist alles auf der App und mehr - süß, sauber und einladend. Sie ging darüber hinaus, um sicherzustellen, dass unsere Erwartungen erfüllt wurden und war mehr als zuvorkommend für den gesamten Aufenthalt. Die Lage war für uns ideal. Die Nachbarschaft war schön und ruhig und nur eine kurze, zehn Minuten zu Fuß vom Strand entfernt. Ein Lebensmittelgeschäft, mehrere Strandläden, Restaurants und Tankstellen waren alle innerhalb einer kurzen Fahrt von fünf Minuten oder weniger. Wir geben diese Erfahrung 10/10 und werden auf jeden Fall so schnell wie möglich zurückkehren.

Dieses Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und wie beworben. Die bunten Berührungen, die Stranddekorationen und die Lage waren perfekt. Die Nachbarschaft ist ruhig und das Haus ist nur wenige Minuten (mit dem Auto) zum fabelhaften Strand. Paula war sehr schnell auf irgendwelche Fragen zu antworten, die ich hatte und die eingezäunten Hinterhof machte es einfach für die Kinder zu gehen und spielen. Vielen Dank für das Teilen eines wunderbaren Hauses.

Great house in a great little town. Paula was very response and communicative before and during our trip. Not far from the beach (a walk or very short drive - we usually drove) and other activities on the island!

We loved the place! A quiet cottage in a quiet neighborhood near the ocean was perfect for us.

This is our second time staying at catchlight and I would come back again and again. Gray is a wonderful host and the house is perfect. So clean. Walk to the beach. Shower outside. Eat seafood. What more could you want?

From the moment we walked through the door, we felt like we were home. Gray put so much thought into all the little details - water bowls for the pups, soft rugs beside the bed, keyless locks, linen service, Netflix - that all we had to worry about was how to have fun, and Gray even had a guide for that! We will definitely be back for our next beach escape!

Catchlight is a restful, comfortable cottage with great indoor and outdoor space for the beach! The owners have created such a welcoming interior space, with color and artistic flair. The outdoor shower is great! We like to buy fresh seafood, and Gray recommended a nearby seafood market. Good kitchen set up for cooking and grilling! It's an easy, direct walk to the beach, but you have to cross a very busy street to get there, not ideal when carrying your stuff. Overall, this is a wonderful cottage to rent. Gray made sure that everything was perfect!

Catchlight Cottage was awesome! Gray's home was beautiful and very inviting! You can't go wrong renting this place!

Catchlight Cottage was the perfect home for our beach vacation. It is just a few blocks from the beach but we chose to drive because we had small children. There are numerous beach access points with free parking! The house itself was nicely decorated and very clean. It was stocked with paper products, soaps, ziplock bags, pretty much everything you'd need. The screened in porch was great for relaxing evenings. The shed had beach chairs and bikes. We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Oak Island! Some of our favorite restaurants were Flying Dish, Shagger Jacks, and Fish House. We discovered that some parts of the beach were very rocky. The access points at the end of 52nd street had no rocks and was not very busy so that's where we usually went. Gray was easy to get in touch with and made accommodations for us and our little children! I have nothing but great things to say about Catchlight Cottage!

This was a great space for a family close to the beach and shops. We had 6 in our party and where comfortable. The house was well stocked with most every thing you would need. Cost was reasonable I would highly recommend Catchlight Cottage and would stay there again.

This house was perfect! Gray thought of everything! Truly this house has everything, it is comfortable, gorgeous, close to the beach and there is nothing that you could want or need that Gray hasn't thought through. We have been to many rentals and this is a 10++

Catchlight was perfect for our family! We enjoyed every minute! Everything is exactly as it is advertised. Very clean and beautifully decorated. The outdoor shower is great after a long day at the beach. The IKEA beds were super comfortable. And the linen service is awesome. I've always had to wash the sheets and towels before leaving rental houses. Just leaving them in the bag was great! And the best part ... you're like 2 minutes from the beach! Highly recommend this house!!

Wonderful cottage. Peaceful escape. A must try for sure!

Unsere Zeit im "Perfect Little Beach Cottage" war nach den erlebnisreichen Tagen in NYC und Washington D.C. einfach nur ein Traum. Das Cottage war genauso wie es zuvor von Jude beschrieben wurde. Wir hatten vor unserer Ankunft noch Kontakt via E-Mail und haben somit die genaue Beschreibung sowie noch ausreichend Zusatzinformationen zur Umgebung erhalten. Die Nachbarschaft war sehr ruhig und es waren 4 Tage in unserer eigenen kleinen Oase. Der Strand ist nicht weit entfernt und ist der perfekte Ort zum relaxen. Das Cottage war sauber und unser Aufenthalt hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Vielen Dank für die schönen Tage!

Jude war sehr hilfsbereit und hat tolle Informationen für uns über das Haus und die Insel. Obwohl unser Aufenthalt war kurz, wir haben es genossen immens. Das Haus war sehr sauber und ordentlich. Wir hatten kein Problem, es zu finden und die Nachbarschaft war sehr ruhig. Wir ruhten uns jede Nacht gut. Es war eine einfache schnelle Ausflug an den Strand und Restaurants.

It was a beautiful place and Jude and Stefan where more than accommodating. I highly recommend staying at Judes and Stefans perfect little beach cottage.

Dies ist wirklich die "Perfect Little Beach Cottage"! Wir waren für ein langes Wochenende und wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit. Die Hütte hatte alles, was wir brauchten. Es ist eine kurze Fahrt zum Strand und nach Southport, obwohl es gibt viele Mutter-und Pop Art Restaurants und Geschäfte auf der Insel. Wir werden dieses Haus im Auge für zukünftige Ausflüge zum Strand zu halten! Auf jeden Fall empfehlen!

Perfect is an apt description of this lovely cottage. On the second day of our stay, my partner tried to convince me to beg it off our hosts because we enjoyed it so much. If you are willing to take a long hike, you can walk to the beach (we did), but it's better if you bring your bicycle. This side of Oak Island was a lot less busy and noisy than the other side of the island, which made the cottage very peaceful and relaxing at night. Jude provided plenty of information about the area with both a welcome email for area highlights and a full binder of information available at the cottage itself. There were also a couple baskets full of books on local topics if you're inclined, as we were, to try and identify local birds or wildlife. Wilmington and Southport are easy drives. The Fort Fisher-Southport ferry is also worth taking at least once during your stay, if only to view the lighthouses. You can easily get to the Oak Island Lighthouse, but if you want a tour you need to call ahead two weeks in advance. There is plenty of beach parking, although it may be advisable during high season to bicycle from the cottage to the beach rather than try to seek out public beach access parking.

Excellent stay...loved the back screened in porch in the mornings!

The cottage is clean, nicely furnished, and quite a comfortable home. Arrangements with Jude were easily made. We highly recommend it. Note that the TV channel lineup is very basic, and there is only one TV (in the living room).

Bottoms up is a great salty beach cottage full of character. It is in a great location, close to the beach. The deck is great to hang out on, you can hear the ocean, but you can't see it. The outdoor shower and hose downstairs is convenient for washing off after a beach day. The house has everything you need to have a great time.

We had a great week at Bottom's Up!

We had a nice stay at the American Dream Cottage, cute neighborhood, near to the Food Lion and the beach, with a short 10 min walk to the beach across the wooden causeway.

We had a great time at Hope's cottage! The house was completely what you'd expect from the listing - comfy, convenient, no-frills but with all the necessities. My favorite part of the house was the outdoor shower. It was super spacious and refreshing after a long day at the beach.

We really enjoyed our stay in Hope's cottage. It was very cozy, clean, and quiet. We loved the relaxed atmosphere of Oak Island and the 10 min. walk to the beach was nice and not too difficult. It had everything we needed for our short stay such as the grill and outdoor showers. Would definitely recommend!

We had such a great weekend away from Raleigh here. Thank you so much Hope!

We had a wonderful stay. I lived that everything we needed was there and I didn't have to pack chairs and sand toys. It was a 5 minutes walk to the beach with made access super easy. The house was clean and user friendly. The outdoor shower was a bonus. I would definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the American Dream Cottage. Hope was a great host and made sure that we had a great experience. My kids didn't want to leave!

The house is about a 10 minute walk from the beach. It was very nice that there were boogie board, beach toys, beach chairs and a wagon for transporting stuff to the beach. We also appreciated that she provided coffee filters, dishwasher detergent and sheets/towels. The beds were comfortable. We had a great stay.

We had a great getaway weekend at Hope's American Dream Cottage! All was as described and Hope was available for any questions, easy key handoff. Clean and in walking distance to the beach.

Plage Joy était un grand chalet! L'emplacement et le prix sont fantastiques, et bien situé à proximité d'une épicerie et quelques petits restaurants! Bien qu'il existe encore quelques petits défauts à travailler comme il est une liste plus récente, nous avons vraiment apprécié notre séjour et nous reviendrons revenir!

We had a great stay, good location to walk everywhere, walking distance to local coffee shop, grocery store and the beach. Love the outdoor shower.

Great little place in Oak Island. It's about 1-3 miles from everywhere we needed and wanted to go to. Our two kids loved the décor. We would definitely stay here again next time we're in Oak Island. Joy was very helpful and pleasant.

Joy's home was fantastic! The perfect beach cottage with plenty of room and so close to restaurants and the beach. We will definitely stay here again!

A very nice smaller, but adequate beach bungalow

Cet endroit est très bien situé dans un quartier calme, pourtant, la distance magasin et magasins d'épicerie et de restaurants à pied, et à environ 15 minutes à pied de la belle plage. Nous avons adoré la douche extérieure pour descendre tout le sable! La maison est très mignon et est une grande valeur pour l'emplacement.

I had a great time at Joy's beach house. This place is a short distance to the beach and my daughters and I enjoyed biking the neighborhood daily. The house seems modest from the outside, but it is perfectly equipped and comfortable inside. It was perfect for a lovely, last minute get away. The sun room in the front gets a little warm during the day, so keep the door shut until the sun goes down. By bedtime it was cool enough to sleep. I would definitely rent this place again. I had a problem getting the hot water heater to turn on at first (it ended up being user error: my fault) but Joy had someone come check on it almost immediately. She was a very attentive host.

Joy is very kind. She is very responsive.

The house was beautiful and Tammy was an excellent host! She provided us everything we would need in the home and we enjoyed all of the local recommendations she gave us. The house is an easy walk to the beach and Tammy provided a beach cart, an umbrella and chairs which made our walks to the beach even better! I would highly recommend staying in this home!

Great weekend getaway! We will be back :)

Fantastic stay for our first family vacation with our 9 month old! Tammy was nice enough to provide an umbrella, beach chairs, and even a stroller for the beach! She was a terrific host and very responsive which was especially helpful when we (stupidly) locked ourselves out of the house. The place is very spacious and provided plenty of room for our little one to roam around. We drove to the beach every day, which has free parking. The beach is also a walkable distance if you don't have a lot of things to carry. She even let us check in early as it worked out better for us! Would consider returning in the future!

I can say without a doubt that this was the best airbnb we have stayed at. Hands down. From the Excellent communication of the host to the cleanliness of the cozy home. It was fully stocked for the beach with umbrellas, coolers, chairs and towels. There was even basic foods in the cupboards and fridge. It was close to the beach and Tammy is so friendly and easy to work with! We will be back!

This was my first Airbnb experience and Tammy was a terrific host and was always responsive and available for questions before and during the rental dates. The house was tremendous. It was spotless and was exactly how it was described.

Tammy is a great host! Anytime we had a question about something to do she was very quick with a response. Definitely recommend this airbnb for a nice getaway. Just a walk away from the beach, which was fantastic!!

Tammy's place was great. Very clean and had everything I needed. The beach was a comfortable walk away, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants just a short drive down the street.

Charming, quiet neighborhood just minutes from the beach! The bungalow was cute, clean and provided and great place to stay while visiting the area with our small family. Everything you need for a home away from home. Liz was super quick in getting back to us before our reservation and we will definitely return if we are ever in the area again!

Nous avons passé un merveilleux moment à l'île bungalow de liz! Mon fiancé et moi allons nous marier dans deux semaines et ont été très stressé ... nous voulions sortir à la plage pour un week-end avec notre chiot! Ce fut l'endroit idéal. Nous avons facilement allés à la plage juste comme décrit, nous avons fini par marcher 8 miles sur la belle plage avec notre chiot. île Oak sur tout était très gentil chien, tout comme cette maison. Arrivée était impeccable et Liz était très réactif avant et pendant notre séjour. Il y a une cuisine bien équipée avec toutes sortes de verrerie, etc. Aussi la machine à laver était facile à utiliser.

Liz is a fantastic communicator. She was very generous for an off season guest with an early check in time and access to the studio garden since the studio was unoccupied. The place is basic but a great deal, centrally located with easy access to shops. The street is quiet with friendly neighbors. I enjoyed a great mini holiday with great weather and no crowds.

We had a great stay at Liz's Beach Bugalow. Being pet friendly was awesome. Our dogs loved the Ocean. Liz was super helpful and communication was great.

Liz était super du début throuight il fin de notre séjour .... elle est très repsonsive et répond rapidement; communicaiotsn sont clairs et précis ... nous avons vraiment apprécié le séjour.

Loved the house! It was a great price and size for two people to have a get away together. I would love to stay at this house again.

Great long weekend get away spot for my wife and I. Liz's place is clean and well stocked with daily household necessities. Nice proximity to main areas in Oak Island but located on a quiet residential street. Liz was very responsive when we needed to contact her. Great value - We would definitely stay here again.

Great location, little over a half mile to the beach! Clean property, great full kitchen! Comfortable living space, nice queen size bed and GIANT walk in closet. Onsite laundry was a very nice feature and so was the screened in porch. This is actually two properties in one location but both are extremely private and separate. There is a pet fee for this location but worth every penny to have the pups with us at such a beautiful beach! The "studio" location has a fenced in yard and may consider that location next time if it available but both are great spaces! Will definitely stay again when in town! I ask a lot of questions, I know that most Air BnBs are people's private homes and I always want to be as courteous as possible, Liz was great, very responsive and informative!

If you are thinking about staying anywhere besides Owen and Olive's you are making a huge mistake. Everything about this place is wonderful. Owen and Olive (they are two tiny dogs) are cute, playful, well behaved, and enjoy scratches, but will leave you alone as soon as they are called. Paula is the greatest. Hands down I have never received such extraordinary service and help from any host at any hotel, B&B, Airbnb, or even from my own family. She went out of her way to help us in any way possible. advice on the local area, she had it. Where to eat, where to play, she new the right answer. Her cooking is wonderful and she is so very kind. Paula's blurb on her home page says that her place is a little pricey compared to elsewhere but that just isn't true. She is undercharging for all that she does for her guests. If you are lucky enough to find an opening in her schedule you NEED to book a stay. You will not regret it I'm anyway!

Paula really puts the 2nd B in BnB! Her food and beverage offerings were such an amazing perk. Her culinary knowledge of the local restaurant scene was super accurate and I am certain her gourmet breakfast offerings were better than anything on the island! Her little fur babies are cute and lively house occupants and her small backyard pool was a perfect little oasis. Great stay on Oak Island. Thanks.

Paula is a very kind and generous host, by far the best Airbnb host we have ever had! She went above and beyond with all of the fantastic cooking, cleaning, and making sure we and our two dogs felt welcome. Owen and Olive are very smart, independent dogs who got along great with our dogs. The saltwater pool was refreshing and the house - spotless. We did not have to lift a finger and felt super relaxed the whole time. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, Paula. We loved it!

Phenomenal service. Far exceeded our expectations and will recommend to friends.

I only can say that was a great stay, so far the best I had. Owen and Olive´s it´s a fantastic place to have a relaxing getaway with your fur baby. The location is convenient because is close to the beach which is perfect if you like to walk. The house was spacious and very clean. The price was fair for all the things Paula offers. She is more than friendly and very helpful if you need some tips of things to do on the island. Owen and Olive are just two precious puppies I fell in love with, they were so good with my girl. I would definitely choose this home over all they appear. I must say Paula is a great chef and the breakfast was always a dream. Don´t think more, book Owen and Olive´s you will not regret it at all!! Thanks a lot for everything you did for us Paula!!

Your peaceful studio has truly become my returning haven for Mermaid bliss! I am looking forward to booking a stay in the Autumn, and experiencing the changing seasons on idyllic Oak Island.

Great place and very nice host. We will be back. Beach is great!

We had a great time during our stay!! Liz answered any questions we had promptly!

Studio by the Shore was fantastic for me and my little dogs! The yard and screened porch were amazing, and it was so great to be so close to the beach. The studio itself was cute, cool, clean, perfectly suited for me and all I needed. Liz was super helpful and responsive and I'd love to come back and stay here again next year.

This was a wonderful and cozy place within walking distance to the beach. It was very clean and had everything I needed. I will definitely stay here again for my next visit!

We had a great stay at Liz's place. Very comfortable and convenient to the beach, and everything was exactly as advertised. The screened in porch was especially lovely.

Really enjoyed our stay at Oak Island and the location was perfect. Easy to get to the beach or to other areas as we were close to the bridge to the mainland.

Cute little cottage studio.

This place was perfect for my wife and I to have a short beach getaway before our first child arrives in August! Judy's mother Barb was very welcoming and so hospitable. The beach is very close... Just around the corner. Easy walk even carrying a couple beach chairs and a cooler/beach bag. Right next to the house is a park where there is a farmer's market on Mondays and other Oak Island events. Perfect spot for a relaxing trip to the beach!

We had a great stay here for a couple days. The location is quiet and relaxing. The place was clean, well stocked, and also a short walk to a public access. There is a grocery store 2 minutes down the road! Judy was so helpful when I needed to find a laptop charger last minute for work. She called and recommended places to get one, as well as asked her neighbors. We were so thankful for such a helpful host who went above and beyond to make sure we had a worry-free stay!Thanks for the wonderful stay in Oak Island!

Ich bin so froh, dass wir diese Wahl getroffen. Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt. Es war so schön, um nur einen Block oder so vom Strand entfernt ist. Judys Mutter barb war da, um uns zu treffen und sie ein absoluter Schatz, die sicher, die alles, was wir hatten war gemacht. Sie liehen uns sogar Liegestühle und einen Sonnenschirm. Das Hotel war sauber, nett und hatte alle Voraussetzungen für einen bequemen Aufenthalt. Danke Mike, Judy, Widerhaken und Joe!

Judy was great to work with, quick in communication and went out of her way to accommodate our arrival time. Grandma Barb greeted us and gave a quick tour that included local recommendations for where to buy (and not buy) fresh seafood. The cottage was comfortable and set up for a relaxing stay. Safe and quiet neighborhood, quick walk to the beach!

Cottage was an excellent stay. The unit was clean and wonderfully decorated. Plenty of privacy with quick access to beach and neighboring park. Judy and Mike were always available to communicate by text if problems arose (none did). Check in/out went smoothly.

Judy and Mike's guest cottage allowed for a very relaxing weekend! The house is just a couple of blocks from a nice, quiet beach front and the property itself was very cozy and relaxing. It made for a very nice weekend. For the price, it can't be beat.

The Guest Cottage is a quaint getaway, close to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. If we needed something, Judy was only a "text away" - she and her mom were very welcoming and answered all our questions including directions to local dining spots (you must visit Burney's Bakery in Southport. The croissants are amazing!). If you looking for a less crowded beach, Oak Island is the place for you and the Cottage has everything you need to relax and enjoy your vacation.

15 Years of Wonderful Service - We have been renting Mike & Judy's Beach house for over 15 years and have always had exceptional service and wonderful experiences. Their new guest cottage is absolutely charming and a peaceful getaway perfect for two. Adorned with special romantic touches such as flowers, candles, antiques, etc., provide a very cozy serenity you will not want to end. Perfect location to walk to the beach with all necessities nearby such as restaurants, grocery stores, etc. You will easily fall in love with Oak Island's calming and relaxing atmosphere and not want your stay to end. Very grateful to you Barb, Judy and Mike for sharing your lovely beach cottage with us and providing such a lovely stay for us to enjoy. Bette & Keith Dixon

From the second we arrived, Ramona welcomed us with open arms and made our stay as comfortable as possible. The house and the queen bedroom were beautiful. Oak Island and Southport offered a lot of relaxation and exploring, especially in downtown Southport. Ramona even provided cupcakes to help celebrate my 23rd birthday while at her home. I highly recommend staying here, you will not regret it. We will definitely be going back!

Ramona & Ronnie sind die perfekten Gastgeber! Mein Mann und ich brauchte ein wenig Zeit allein durch das Wasser sehr spontan und wir waren so begeistert @, wo wir bleiben wollte. Wir wurden begrüßt als ob wir ihnen unser ganzes Leben lang gekannt hatte! Großer Gesprächs, schönes Zuhause mit einem fantastischen Blick! Die Bilder tun nicht genug, um Gerechtigkeit für das, was wir von diesem Wochenende erhalten! Sie müssen hier bleiben! Was für eine wunderbare und schöne Ort zu gehen, wenn man nur entkommen müssen, laden oder einfach nur wieder an. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder und hoffentlich bald wieder!

Ramona was a wonderful host. Great communication and so friendly and easy to talk to. Our accommodations were super clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. We hope to come back.

This was our first time using Air BnB, so we had expected a nice room with no amenities like a hotel could offer (thus the cheaper price). Boy were we wrong! Not only was Ramona completely accommodating, the house is decorated and furnished so nicely. Ramona also thought of the little things. There was shampoo and soap in the bathroom as well as our own separate basket for our room specifically. We could choose to have breakfast which was bagels, fruit, and these yummy Danish muffins. Truly the whole experience was great. There are only three rooms so you don't feel crowded with strangers and you can't beat the quick trip to the beach, nor the view the house offers.

Ramona was a great host, very accommondating, plenty of towels, very comfortable bed and beautiful house! The view was (URL HIDDEN) nice to wake up and smell the salt air and watch the waves roll in and glisten right from the front pourch.

Wonderful place to stay, beautiful and comfortable home!

This was our first time using Airbnb and we were a little hesitant but decided to go for it and we are glad we did. The room was set up so nicely and the restaurant suggestions that were left on the desk worked perfectly. We were pleasantly surprised when we received an email in the morning about breakfast treats and drinks that were in the fridge and common area. Everything was thought of to make us feel at home and comfortable! We are counting down the days until we can return and we definitely recommend Ramona's place!

This place was just as advertised. Very clean and accommodating. Host communication was great. The place was stocked with everything we needed. Clean sheets, towels, coffee, snacks, and wifi internet. Close to the beach and great balcony views. House does not have beach access, but it is only a minute walk across street. Very good experience.
