We celebrated Thanksgiving with our large multigenerational family. We had plenty of room to cook, play and enjoy being together. Our only regret is that it was too cold to enjoy the beautiful screened in back porch!

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home! The layout was perfect, well appointed kitchen, having sheets and towels provided was so convenient! The upstairs was just what we needed for the kiddos for them to have their own space and to keep them entertained during the rain storm. We made wonderful memories

This is a very family friendly house. The built in bunks are awesome. We didn’t have any kiddos with us this time. It’s the second time we have stayed in this house and we would definitely stay again. It’s a beautiful house and in a nice location to all of Oak Island. The dining room table fits everyone and the screened in porch is tremendous.
