The Oceanfront location has approximately 1200 square feet, renovated bathrooms with tile showers while the home maintains the original 1960's charm with Hardwood Floors in the bedrooms and Vaulted Beam ceilings throughout the home.

Housekeeping/cleaning fee for all rentals is $125.00 Cancellation insurance available through VRBO. Damage Protection Insurance of $89 may be purchased through VRBO in lieu of $350 refundable deposit
Linen Charge of $125/stay is required during peak season. Linen package can be deleted for stays during Fall, Winter and Spring reservations or for less than 7 days.

In peak season from Memorial Day through Labor Day, the Changeover date is Saturday, booked by the week.

Rustic is alright, but we would prefer cleaner. Location is excellent and we enjoyed the shaded porch and easy beach access.

Great Week of Beach Fun
Incredible host!!! Great communication and willingness to satisfy his guest. This is our second stay with Pete and hopefully there will be many more in the years to come. Great peaceful location and the feel of a cottage--don't feel as if you can't touch anything or it might break--very cozy! I just can't express how much we enjoyed staying with Pete. God bless!

Family beach vacation
We had a beach family vacation including 11 people with a combination of adults and teenagers (our 3rd year to OKI, 1st at this house). The layout of the place was good for us. The teenagers enjoyed the bunk room and everyone felt comfortable sleeping. We also had space to eat together and hangout in the kitchen/living room. The location of the property was great in a quiet neighborhood and the beach was not crowded. You can't beat oceanfront! We enjoyed the front porch in the mornings/evenings and the beach access. As others have said, the place needs some attention. When we arrived, the house was very dirty and hadn't been cleaned. We found trash behind beds when we were putting sheets on, and the floors had not been mopped. There was dust/sand on all surfaces. The house had not been deep cleaned in a long time and we found cockroaches. We spent the first 3 hours of our vacation cleaning, which is something I have never had to do at Vrbo. I was pretty upset because all of the reviews had depicted the property as "rustic" but clean, which is what I was expecting. The owner was responsive at first and explained the difficulty with getting reliable cleaning service, which is understandable. He also said he wanted to make it right, but in the end, he did not. Once we cleaned the place (2 of us for 3 hours solid) we had a great time with family and enjoyed the beach.

Beach Trip 2024
The home was very nice. It wasn't brand-new and that's what we expected, a home that has been lived in and comfortable, a place where, though being respectful, you didn't feel like you had to walk on pins and needles to mess anything up. It is right on the ocean. The morning was a favorite of mine when the sun was first coming up...it seems like my coffee tasted better then. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and the grill was a favorite of mine since I used it practically every night. Looking forward to booking it again.

Quaint Cottage Ocean Front
My sisters and 2 friends spent a week here in April 2024. Although the cottage could use a little "sprucing up", we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly rent it again. Found a great place for breakfast at the Old Bridge Diner! And a wonderful dinner at The Island Way restaurant.

Relaxing
The beach house was very relaxing. It had an old rustic look, but the best thing is you can hear the waves crashing against the beach all night. Spent most our time sitting on the deck looking and listening to the water.

Great Place and Awesome Host
We had a wonderful time staying in this beach home listening to the waves and reading books. Truly a warm experience that brought back fond memories of visiting coastal Carolina as a kid. We cooked breakfast and lunch in the house and went out for seafood for dinner at the tasty local restaurants. The host was easy to get along with, extremely accommodating and very communicative making the overall experience second to none - seriously just a top notch down to earth person. We absolutely would stay here again and recommend this home for your next vacation too.

Great for Our Golf Group!
We were four lady golfers here for a golf tournament at the Clubs at St James (about 13 minutes away). The house could hold many more but we enjoyed having our own rooms. The house is charming but could use a few cosmetic repairs. But you can’t beat the view and proximity to the ocean! Thanks, Pete!

Old but NICE
Clean, NO BUGS! Old but very nice! This is our second time staying there & will definitely stay there again! Would like a small mirror over the chest of drawers in the master bedroom. The other bedroom (queen only) the ceiling fan was very dusty. The other ones were not. Also could sure use some better pots & pans. The baking pans should be discarded. The ones in oven drawer. Love the location!!

This ocean front home is such a great place to stay. This was our second time there and will not be our last. It is conveniently located to several places that we love on Oak Island. The owner is very nice and easy to work with to make our trip a great experience. We absolutely love sitting out on the beautiful deck and enjoying the beach and ocean.
