The beach house offers a perfect escape with stunning ocean views, cozy accommodations, and a serene atmosphere. It was extremely clean and cozy. Ideal for a relaxing getaway by the sea.

I loved everything about this place. Location was perfect and the front sitting area was superb. House was clean and had all necessities needed. The gate on the front porch was perfect so my dog could sit out in the front without me worrying that he would go down the stairs and cross the road. Did I mention being steps away from the beach? Love!

This was a last minute beach trip for me, my wife, and our adult daughter. The home was perfect: clean, nicely decorated, near the ocean, and near (but not too close to) town. Much needed R&R. Our daughter requires a wheelchair for all mobility, so we especially appreciated the elevator and wide hallways. Would absolutely recommend!

House was very clean and well-kept. It is in a great location with easy access to the beach. The elevator is a wonderful feature that made it easy to load and unload the car.

I really like this home! The location, layout of home, and fact that It allows dogs had us come back for a second year! This year though barely any condiments to use in the home, limited household items like hand soap and dish soap. I don’t think everything needs to be totally supplied but the basics would be helpful. (Like salt and pepper)! Could have some extra blankets also. This would not prevent me from renting again. Overall the location for us and layout is great.

Great location and house for 6. Thrilled with the elevator and ability to bring our pup. Beach is short walk and close enough to shopping and restaurants without being in the crowds. The porches are the star of the house with gated deck and fenced in yard. Definitely planning to return. Thanks Holly :)

The property is well situated to a public beach access a few yards away, and close to many amenities....ice cream seeming to be the most important for our week of fun. The elevator was a great help for loading and unloading and the home is very nice. The Owner, Holly, we very quick to respond to any of our questions. It was a great week.

Loved the stay! Location was awesome. Enough room for 8 adults. Had issue with ac and contacted owners they responded right away! It was fixed in a few hours. Great place and glad we got to bring the dogs. Easy instructions to leave. Would suggest basic condiments. We loved It!!

Out of the Blue is a sweet home that is located one block from the beach. Newly renovated, the home is clean and fresh. Holly is quick to respond to requests/issues. My only suggestion is that there needs to be written instructions on how to operate the TV/cable and the washer and dryer. I would stay here again!

I absolutely loved the house and the location. We had the best time with a minute walk to the beach. Everything in the neighborhood was great with not a lot of commotion that you see at the beaches today. Easy driving and access. Felt safe walking. Nice and polite neighborhood. Even the construction crew building nearby were always polite. My daughter and I have already discussed coming back next year. My son and daughter loved the house setup. I would definitely recommend.

Had a wonderful short trip. Everything you need. Not to fancy or new but great! Wonderful VIEW! Outstanding location. Very short walk to the beach. We all slept like babies/beds are good. Outstanding shower in master bed room. Great outside living. Full size washer and dryer. Has a nice elevator!!
The BIGGEST problem is the sofa and chair are worn 1000% out. Not just old but needs to be replaced!

Check in was 3 pm. The house was dirty, beds unmade, food crumbs on floors, hair in bath sinks. Sheets and towels in washer wet. Assume put there by previous quests. I called vrbo. They couldn't contact owner. They gave me alternate number. It was owner's husband. He said that he was in different town. He tried calling but couldn't reach her. He said they live in Ohio! Holly finally called and said cleaners were on the way. They arrived around 6 pm. We went to dinner. When we got back to house, they were gone. My son went to bed around 9pm, and his sheets were wet!

Out of the Blue was simply delightful for our beach vacation. The house was clean and bright and the location was excellent. We could see and hear the ocean and we could walk to the beach in less than a minute. It was amazing. The front deck was awesome for watching shrimp boats and waves, and it had a gate at the top of the stairs so our pet could be out there safely with no worries. The back deck is terrific too and leads to the fenced in yard - again our pet was completely safe. The elevator was really cool and so handy for bringing up luggage and groceries - we loved it. Oak Island has a laid back vibe that was perfect for us. Several groceries stores, gas stations, shops, restaurants etc. are right on the island and easy to get to. And there are no high-rise condos blocking views of this beautiful shore. Our host was quick to respond to questions - we had a small appliance give out the first week and the host had a replacement arrive within a couple of hours of notification - perfect! Our month-long stay went by too quickly but we certainly would consider returning again sometime.

We stayed at this property July-16-23rd.
Excellent beach access for a 2nd row home, literally cross the street and walk down three houses, 2 minutes max.
Great fenced in back yard for our two senior dogs. Mix of sun and shade, which they loved.
A/C and fans were great. Temps were in the mid 90's every day of our visit, but we never had to touch the thermostat. Very comfortable.
Our only observation, not a criticism, is that the floor plan is very unique. Tons of storage space, way too much for a beach house. It seems that there's enough space for a 4th bedroom. I would think that adding a 4th bedroom would help with cash flow. But, just saying....It's not my property.
