Great for families and dogs!

You can’t beat the location across the street from the ocean! The public beach access is also right across the street. That was perfect for us taking our three children across the road to the beach. And the views were incredible! We loved waking up and seeing the beach out front every morning. At first, we weren’t sure if our sheets were dirty or clean, but we still had hair from the dryer. We decided to do a load of bedsheets the first night and found out they were dirty. They were clean and without hair after putting them through the washer and dryer. The floor may not have been swept or mopped either. Sand and hair covered our feet walking through the first time. Everything else, from the bathrooms to the kitchen and dishes, was spotless. However, we couldn’t help but wonder after having dirty sheets on the beds. The place was very comfy, and the beds were extremely comfortable! We loved the food and water dishes for dogs, the basket of dog toys, and the dog bed. They also have a crate folded under the main bed if you cannot bring one. Overall, it is a great place, and we had a wonderful stay! I feel like the cleanliness issues were more of a fluke, considering how well everything else went. I would recommend this place!

About the host

Hosted by Amy Lewis

I am a full time human resource professional working to end hunger! My husband and I live in Raleigh NC and have four children and our adopted dog Boots who is the inspiration for our "Ruff Life" beach cottage.

Why they chose this property

We are North Carolinians and have visited about every beach along the NC, SC, and Georgia coast and it all pales in comparison to Oak Island, NC. It's by far our favorite! Its southward facing and wide beach provide gorgeous views, soft sand and lots of room to spread out. Everyone is so nice here and we find it very family, dog and turtle friendly! We are so blessed and grateful to have the opportunity to own a place at the beach and share it with friends and family. It's our hope that our guests get to enjoy this little slice of heaven and experience a "Ruff Life" you'll never want to leave!

What makes this property unique

Our location is perfect! just across the street from beach access, ocean views from inside and outside. No need to drive to the beach, just walk steps across the street. Lots of local restaurants and great grocery stores nearby. Music in the park! you couldn't ask for more.
