Easy walk to the beach. Dog friendly was a plus for us! The downstairs (disconnected from upstairs) had two queen beds with a divider wall, which was perfect for our group. A big thanks to Bill for being communicative and kind! Would stay again.
Spacious, clean quiet and the most relaxing vacation in a long time.
The home is lovely and spacious and everything you need to just sit back and enjoy yourself. The location was a lovely surprise because the back yard is what we described as a wild life sanctuary. What a treat! We loved every minute of the short week we had.
We really enjoyed the house; lots of room and the screened in back porch was awesome! The house is conveniently located near the beach and in a quiet spot. We plan to return next year!
The Pelican House was perfect for our 2 week stay! The walk to the beach was so quick it was easy to go back and forth throughout the day. The view of the marsh was changing all the time and it was fun to watch all the wildlife. Breakfast in the rocking chairs out back was a great way to start the day. We really enjoyed staying here!! No complaints!
Amazing beach house. Very quiet, peaceful location. So relaxing sitting on the screened in porch or on the deck and watching the Egrets visit! Beautiful view of the marsh. Just what we needed, and our dog loved it too!
We finally found a house! It was perfect for our week stay! The marsh in the back gave my boys so much excitement catching fish and crab!! Great and easy walk to the beach! Plenty of room for this family of 5! Itâs taking us 5 summers and this time we found our vacation house! We will be back next year!!! What a spot!!
This is the second year we have rented this home. We enjoy the short walk to the beach, the porches, the waterway behind the house, and overall location on the island. The owner is great to work with and communication is quick and easy. We are hoping to return again next year!
We really liked the location being set back on the marsh in a quiet, peacefully spot away from the traffic with only a 5 minute walk to the beach. Plenty of space to spread out and lots of options to choose from. Front and back decks with a screen porch as well. Nice spot to get away. Highly recommended for a beach get away!
Had to get to the beach one last time before winter. Gorgeous. Ocean was still swimmable. And the place on the marsh was magical (yet only two blocks from the beach). Might have to come back for two weeks next fall.
Sooo enjoyed staying here with my family. House is very nice, neighbors were quiet at night - no partying, loudness. This was 1st time in 10 years I had both my kids with us for a vacation. Granddaughters, 3 & 5 thoroughly playing on beach together & at the house. We played board games & all had a relaxing time. Made wonder memories! Hope to stay here again! đđ đ
We very much enjoyed our stay. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk to the beach. We could hear the ocean from the house. We enjoyed all the songbirds from the back deck that overlooks a small creek.
The house is well stocked, clean and comfortable. We did not use the downstairs that has a separate entrance.
The screened porch along the back of the 2nd floor living space that then leads to the open deck weâre our favorite spots. Private and quiet except for the songbirds- ideal!
The location is great! 2 min walk from the beach and the house backs up to a very pretty and serene marsh. We loved the outdoor space (back deck and screened in porch). The kitchen is very well stocked in terms of pots/pans/utensils/gadgets. The bathrooms could use a renovation but were perfectly servicable. We didn't use the downstairs room at all.
The only information that renters may need to know in advance is that you need to bring your own bath towels, sheets and even dish towels for the kitchen.
Overall, a great stay. Thank you!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, well stocked for cooking (pots/pans/plates/cups,etc) and had two coffee machines, a Keurig and drip. There are two bedrooms at the main house (up one flight of stairs) and one bedroom on lower, street level with its own access. It was barely a 5 min walk to the beach on a quiet street. The marsh view is SO peaceful. You really get the best of both worlds with the house, quiet marsh with beautiful sunsets and two blocks to the beach. We also loved the screened in porch. Short drive to main grocery store, restaurants and cafes/shops.
The owner was communicative and responsive with questions.
Sheets, linens and towels are NOT included, so you need to bring your own, but this didnât pose any issues as we were made aware ahead of time.
We enjoyed our stay on Oak Island, and would love to stay here again!
This is a sweet house in a very choice spot to the beach access. It was quiet and lovely but also nobody was worried about anyone else. The traffic is not bad if you have kids under 18 and I felt comfortable letting mine go all the way to the beach alone, 2 small roads they had to cross and traffic was respectful. The house is adorable and lovely with lots of porches and different areas and lots of fans and a great kitchen with more stocked stuff than I usually see. We had a crab boil with just what they had!!! It is a CANAL so it does change with the tide. But we loved it and Crabbed. Also right down the road is a beautiful new walking and riding bridge across, great for pictures but also for connecting to the big road. We loved it so much!!!
Great location, can fish off the dock (only at very high tide), and still walk two blocks to the beach. Beautiful deck and porch, nice open upstairs. Downstairs bedrooms a bit musty and smelled like dog just FYI in case you have allergies. Also does not connect with the upstairs inside FYI in case you are planning on putting children down there, but great use of space. Host very responsive and great to work with. Thanks for a beautiful weekend!!
The Pelican House was perfect in every way. It has a well stocked kitchen and most comfortable beds. The location is great! We thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks there.
Very easy layout for our family to be comfortable. The house was in a great location, with beautiful views. We loved the screened porch & kayaked in the marsh behind the house. Short 5 minute walk to the beach.
We wouldn't stay anywhere else on Oak Island! House is well-equipped and comfortable. Beautiful views of Davis Canal and its wildlife from the big back deck or screened-in porch and only a two-block walk to the beach. Restaurants and shops just a few minutes away by car. Plus, the owner is responsive and very helpful.
