Small Pleasures is nothing short of a peaceful oasis with idyllic views and a porch you will not want to leave. Everything was incredibly clean and the home fully stocked with anything you will need for the most comfortable stay. Leaving was the only difficult part.

Small,friendly and quaint. No rushing of any type. Very relaxing and carefree.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Nice beach, not crowded, was able to ger a good spot each day we went. Businesses are limited, if you are like our family and have picky eaters only wanting to eat at national food chain restaurants, there are a few, but not as many as a larger town.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Wonderful, quiet beach that’s perfect for a family getaway.

4/5 - Good

Good for adults; not much to do for kids other than the beach.

5/5 - Excellent

I love Oak Island and have been going here since I was a child in the early 1960's. It is quiet and beautiful and not much ocean front development.
