Fantastic

Great property. Clean, very well stocked and exactly as described. Beach Access was minutes away. Southport was less than a 30 minute drive. And plenty of games and puzzles were provided for our evening's staying in. Check in was easy and quick responses were given to our questions. Very pleasant stay. Definitely stay again.

Winter February break in North carolina

The property is comfortable and fully equipped for a vacation stay. We only had one issue, the refrigerators ice making unit never functioned for the entire stayOak island is obviously popular with many parts of it subject to construction of new units. The land adjacent to our vacation unit was being stripped in preparation to building work. When on vacation quiet enjoyment is a requirement.

Great Stay at Caraway Cottage

We had a fantastic time at Caraway Cottage. The location is perfect—a short walk to a public dock where we enjoyed some fishing as well as being very close to the beach. It was so convenient to have everything close by. We also took a few trips to Southport, which is just a short drive away, for some great dining and shopping. The cottage itself was cozy and comfortable. It had plenty of room for our family. Large dining and living room. Wonderful place! Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely recommend Caraway Cottage. We're already looking forward to coming back!

This is our second stay with caraway and have enjoyed it. Very close to everything, and was just enough for my little family and pups. Only thing was the Roku and wifi was not working for the tv and my daughters phone. But we was not at the house long enough for that to fully matter. Thank you all for having us

Well stocked, cute cottage!

This rental has everything you need for a relaxing getaway—it’s well-stocked, with good WiFi, a washer/dryer, and a smart TV. It looks recently remodeled and is close to Caswell Beach, Oak Island, and Southport. The fully equipped kitchen and cozy porch make it feel like home. It was perfectly located for a beach vacation! We’ll definitely stay here again.Bonus: There’s a dog crate in the house, which was a lifesaver since we forgot ours. It saved us an expensive trip to a local pet store.Note: Finding the lockbox can be a bit tricky. You’re looking for the one on the wooden stairs on the side of the house—not the lockbox in the back. Once we found the correct one, everything was great. Communication with the host was excellent.

Caraway 2025

Caraway served every purpose we required for our trip to oak island. It was clean and quiet and had everything we needed for our 7 day trip. ( beach chairs, towels, appliances, games, etc.) We had a couple of questions for our host and she answered almost immediately and resolved our one issue promptly. (Irrigation install cut internet line next door. Was resolved within 24hours) Would hughly recommend using this property for your vacation or getaway.

Nice place but checkout list and neighborhood leaves something to be desired.

The stay was nice overall. My wife and I and one of our friends stayed there for 3 nights for a wedding. The rental was clean overall (except for the iron which shot rust all over my wedding shirt) but the checkout list left a lot to be desired. For as long as the list was and how much we needed to clean on our own, it was frustrating that we spent our last morning doing laundry and dishes and were not given the option for a later checkout even though there was not another reservation for the following day.

Home away from home!

The place was very simple; we said it was our home away from home. We like to have a home feeling when we are not home and that’s what we got! The sheets smelled amazing! Very short drive to the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much!
