Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Oak Island

The 5 of us old high school pals had a stupendous time. Tons of laughter on the deck overlooking the water. Great views! The cottage had everything we needed!

It was our second stay here and we feel right at home there. We love the spacious back porch and large fenced yard for our dogs. It is very walkable to the beach but we were able to get parking by the beach access. The house is well stocked with everything you need and even lots of Tupperware! The owners have been renovating and adding to the appeal since the last time we came five months ago. We can’t wait to come back again.

We had a great stay here at Alison’s beach house! There was a great spacious backyard for our pup and was only about a 15 minute walk to the beach, yet still in a quiet area. We would definitely recommend!

This was the perfect stay for the weekend of my daughter’s wedding! The location seemed to be right in the middle of everything we needed! Though on the other side of the street from ocean front homes, the ocean was still very visible and clear to hear! This will be the first place we look for when returning to the area!

Carrie was an excellent host, she was so kind and very responsive! The ca-sea-ta was just what we were looking for, it was the cutest little paradise! I look forward to going back one day!

This is a perfect spot to go with your pups. Easy access to the totally fenced, level yard with shade. Easy travel to beaches, restaurants and grocery stores. The only thing I thought could be better is the living room furniture, as it was not very comfortable to lounge in on a rainy day.

As a small family of 3 our stay was incredible! Very thoughtful and informative host, immaculate attention to detail that made the stay a breeze! Would recommend to anyone!

This place is AMAZING! Steps away from the beach is not an exaggeration. We basically had the beach to ourselves our entire stay. The host is super responsive and kind!

This is a beautiful condo and perfectly located for a beach vacation! The unit was comfortably furnished, and the bathroom and kitchen were thoughtfully stocked. Jeanette is an excellent host and clearly communicated throughout the process. I will definitely come back soon!

The host was very responsive and the place was great all around. Views are amazing, parking is out front of the unit. This spot is one of the best for the price and worked well for three people for two nights. I will definitely stay here again when I am back in town.

Beautiful, cozy and so homey. I would stay here for months. It will be my go-to place to stay every visit to see my daughter who lives in the area. I loved the view, the walks on the Riverwalk and downtown. I worked from here and it was perfect.

This place was perfect for my stay! The location was great & had easy access to the beach & the local shops!

We rented Steve's place to attend our granddaughters graduation.The location was very convenient with plenty to do within walking distance. Plenty of street parking but also a private spot in the back of the house. We didn't do any cooking but the apartment was well equipped if you wanted to cook small meals. There are 2 air conditioners which made the apartment very comfortable. Plenty of hot water with great pressure for 2 people. My only suggestion is to add a book with suggestions for things to do and places to eat. I'm very familiar with Wilmington but for newcomers, there's a lot to see and do that only locals can recommend. Great breweries, restaurants...even the Harris Teeter has a wine bar with music! Buy a bottle of wine, cheese, italian meats and crackers and enjoy the relaxing porch at sunset!

My family and I enjoyed our weekend at Skipper’s place. It was a nice area in a wonderful friendly neighborhood. The walk to the beach wasn’t very long and the place had all the amenities you could need. Would recommend to a couple staying in the area!

Toni Marie was a wonderful host and space was perfect. I would happily stay here again.

Cute , quiet beachy apartment, 2 blocks from the beach, restaurants and lots of stuff to do. The golf cart was the greatest amenity. Host was friendly, responsive and helpful. VERY WORTH IT ! Would totally stay again.

We stayed the weekend as a little beach getaway for our son’s 1st birthday, and couldn’t have had a better experience! The condo was clean and had beautiful surroundings. Very peaceful and relaxing!

Perfect location! Just a few steps to the beach on a coded private walkway. Within easy walkable distance to the boardwalk for us & our small dog. Britts donuts has always been one of my favorite places! Condo was very clean. The king bed was really comfy. Amanda messaged after we checked in to make sure everything was going good & that we didn't have any issues with anything. I would highly recommend this condo.

We absolutely loved our week at Anne’s condo. It was not only beautifully decorated, but also very cozy and comfortable. Our favorite place to hang out was on the deck overlooking the beach and pool. The kitchen was amazing. Everything we needed was right there. The beds were so comfortable. Anne was extremely helpful in every way. She answered all my questions and provided lots of great helpful hints about where to visit and eat. It was an awesome first visit to Ocean Isle Beach and definitely not our last.

Wonderful little quiet beach vacation get away! Perfect central location that still feels like your own little piece of paradise

We had a fantastic week at John's place with our family for spring break. It is a quiet area of the island. The beach is just a few steps away and the view from the deck is beautiful. It was the perfect place for a family of four. We fell in love with Oak Island and hope to be back very soon!

The Condo was wonderful and extremely convenient for going out to the beach, dinner and to hang out. I had a great time and would recommend to others.

Amy’s place was wonderful. The condominium was spacious and had everything we needed. She’s right, if you’re looking for a spotless clean, this is not your place but for us, it was perfect! We’re not super picky. We loved the guest book and the binder with all the local recommendations. It was an easy walk to the heart of Southport. We would for sure stay here again!

Lovely condo! Perfect size for my husband and I and the amenities provided were perfect. Check-in and check-out were easy and the private pool/beach access was awesome. Tony messaged me when they were unable to message through Airbnb to make sure I had everything I need!!
