OKI

The rental was perfect for our week vacation. Spent lots of time out on the deck looking at the Intercoastal waterway. The fenced yard was awesome for our dog. The house had everything we needed.

Nice house, great location on International Water Way. Love Oak Island.

It was good. Never talked with owners but went through Oak Island Accommodations. They were efficient.
