Very dog friendly

Community was very dog friendly and we loved the privacy fence which allowed for our dog to retrieve every morning without us having to drive to a dog park. The house was comfortable and user friendly We would definitely visit again if ever in the area.

Great home

We have family that lives on Oak Island and this was by far our favorite rental. The house was perfect and very comfortable and clean. It had everything we needed, and the best part…its location, It’s 3 streets away from our family. The backyard was large and so nice for our dogs. Thank you so much to the host! We will return.

Great cottage with spacious fenced backyard and powerful AC!

We stayed at the Blue Cottage for a long weekend with our pups and absolutely recommend this listing! Spacious, secure yard with lots of room for the pups to run. The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and utensils. Large AC unit kept the house very cool all weekend. Not having a king bed was a minor inconvenience, but we made it work! Great spot for a small family to stay on Oak Island!

wonderful property in quiet neighborhood

melinda was great to work with, and the property is just as pictured, clean on arrival and had everything we needed for a relaxing long weekend. we enjoyed the outdoor spaces too(except those durn flies), and it was an easy 10 minute walk to the beach, we rented umbrellas and chairs from quicksand to make it easier. the decor is really cute beach-not overdone and keyless enrty great-once we got the hang of it-. the outdoor shower was nice for a rinse, and not having a dishwasher was no biggy.

Great, Pet Friendly vacation home!

We enjoyed our stay at the blue cottage! So much so that we extended our stay a day. This house was cozy and comfortable. The yard was super pet friendly for our 2 labs. It was shaded enough even in the hottest part of the day for our dogs to get out and stretch their legs. We were convenient to everything. The beds were comfortable, the couch was soft and the kitchen had everything needed for the nights we prepared food. We absolutely would stay here again!!
