Tom was an amazing host. He really went above and beyond. We wanted to do a low country boil one night and there wasn’t a big enough pot. He had one delivered right away. The house was clean and well stocked. Everything was as described. Our family had a blast. Thank you for letting us stay with you!

"Our stay in Oak Island was fantastic! Even with 6 people in the house and some less-than-ideal weather, we never felt like we were tripping over one another. The space is incredibly spacious, clean, and functional, but it also has a wonderful personality that makes it feel like a home rather than just a rental.The kitchen was well-equipped for any kind of meal we wanted to prep, which was a huge plus. Most importantly, our host was top-tier—extremely caring and communicative from start to finish. It was exactly what we paid for and a very positive experience overall. We will definitely be staying here again!"
