Great Stay with kids

The house was clean and well-maintained. Check-in process was easy and the host was communicative. The location was great, just steps onto the beach and right down the street from a great park and some restaurants. We really appreciated the extra touches for little people, including the small table and chairs, small Adirondack chairs, children’s books, kids plates/dishes and step tool. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped! We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Family Beach trip

The house is perfectly equipped for a family with kids. It will probably take you longer to put your bathing suit on than it will to go from door step to beach… Plenty of local places to eat… Barely knew that the neighbors were there…. We had a blast! Also very reasonably priced

Perfect beach side stay

A lovely place to relax by the beach! The house is so cute and super convenient! Aside from being beach front, it's also minutes away from great restaurants, grocery store, and shopping. We visited for a long weekend with family (all adults) and we were very happy with our stay. The house was clean and updated, kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the living room was spacious. The host was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely stay here again!

My family and I really enjoyed the house and the beach at Oak Island last week. The house had everything we needed and was most comfortable and very clean and well kept. Louann, the owner, sent us all the info we needed and was quick to respond if we had a question. We would definitely visit again!!

Perfect Getaway

I can't say enough good things about the "Atlantic Dream". The layout is nice. A very short walk to the beach. There is a shower and patio under the house. A good place to clean up before heading upstairs. We were pleasantly surprised to find children's books, toys, and even a small table and chairs for the kids. Everyone had a great time.

Extremely clean and nice beach house

We enjoyed several nights at Atlantic Dream and that's the exact word that comes to mind for this house.... dream! It is indeed a very comfortable and extremely clean beach house directly on the oceanfront. Just a short distance to the ocean on a very well maintained access right beside the house with a clearly marked sand dune crossing.. The view from the oceanfront porch was spectacular! We will definitely be back! A special thanks to the owners for their quick response with any questions that we had.

Anniversary get away

The house was perfect. It’s positioned right on the beach with easy access. It’s close to all things Oak Island. My wife and I hadn’t been back to Oak Island in many years. We were married there 19 years ago. We decided to finally take the opportunity to get back to the beach and more importantly, get back to quality time together, even if just for a long weekend. This house was perfect for our special weekend. It was clean and well laid out, The host was very thoughtful in ensuring that every necessity was provided. Communication was excellent. I would highly recommend this property. If you’re looking for a home that is close to everything, easy beach access, and very comfy, this is definitely it. Thank you for letting us use your home.

Awesome location & beautiful home!

Everything was perfect about the home and matched up to the description that was posted. My adult sons were even bragging about how beautiful this rental property was and how great the location. We had plenty of room for 5 adults. The only negative was there were tractors parked on the beach directly in front of the home, but that was NOT the owners fault, it appeared that maybe some construction work was being done on the public beach access which was located one home over. We didn't mind looking around them. If you love the sunrise and sunsets then this is the house for you, it sets high enough to capture great pictures (even around any obstacles, like tractors parked on the beach). I'm sure this is a temporary thing and this is something we could NOT hold against the property :) The rental owner, Louann, was easy to deal with and would promptly respond to any email that I sent over to her. She is awesome, made this a great experience and we will definitely be renting from her again. The home décor is beautifully displayed, the kitchen had up to date appliances, the bathrooms were awesome too! The master bed slept much better than most hotels that I ever stayed in. I highly recommend this rental property!!

4 generations beach trip

It was a great place to stay very clean and was a good size for my family, only I thought we would be able to sit on back deck and see the beach but the deck was not high enough to see over sand dunes, we had a 81 yr old who would have loved to be able to see our 6 yr old playing on the beach but she was not able to walk on beach. Also I have never stayed where the linen was not provided when I book I didn’t think it would make a difference but now I think I will always stay where linen is provided.

We had a great first time on Oak Island! Thank you to Louann for sharing her beautiful home with us. The view is gorgeous. The home has anything and everything you could possibly need. It was extremely clean! It was very comfortable/cozy for the 5 of us. We loved the downstairs area, outdoor shower and that it was just a few steps from the beach!

Family beach vacay ages 7m - adult

Very nice clean home oceanfront with beach access. Great for family of 6. Newly renovated home and very clean on arrival. Newer appliance but I will caution the oven does not work the best. The oven says preheated very quickly and it’s not heated to the correct temp so give it time. All the appliances/cooking pans, pots, utensils you could need are provided. Even children plates and utensils. Great place for children with kids table, seats, etc. the master bed and 1 other queen bed are very high off the ground so caution with elderly or disabled. Doorway not walker accessible except through master bedroom to bathroom. Overall wonderful spot!!

Perfect Getaway!

We had an absolutely amazing time at Oak Island! The house was perfect for our family (including our 4 yo and 8 yo). It was stocked with all the amenities and the location couldn’t be better! Steps away from the beach, short drive to grocery stores and restaurants. Louann was excellent with communication and keeping us updated with weather changes (we arrived after a recent hurricane) and made sure we were comfortable and welcomed in her home. I wish we could have stayed longer!!! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!
