Our stay in Oak Island was wonderful. The location lets you get to the ocean beach in a minute walk. The host has beach chairs and toys to make your beach time relaxing and fun. The house is fantastic, as well. There are four bedrooms and two bathroom/showers that is perfect for the 7 adults and one 15-year-old. Everything in the kitchen helped us cook and spend dinnertime together. We read reviews about the covered and screened in deck. We agree. We spent a lot of time there looking out at the ocean. Although there are places to eat around, we found more options in Southport, which is about a 20-minute drive. This was a 5-star place, and we had a 5 star stay! Usually, we stay a full week at previous VRBO houses, so we almost missed that we needed to bring our own sheets, so pay notice of that. That's on us, as we read the full listing after we booked. We had a great time, and we appreciate our host's communication to help make that happen.
