The overall stay was nice and met our needs. It fit our two families nicely, the children's room is nice and big, they have a smart TV so it was easy to connect to shows/games. The carport was a nice sitting area but you'll definitely want bug spray. It was great having a grill and an outdoor shower. It is a quiet area but close to the busy part of the island. We were able to walk to a local ice cream store on the same side of the big road which was nice. The walk to the beach is no way 5 minutes unless you are a very fast walker and you aren't carrying anything. You have to cross a 4 lane road and the road Ts so you have to go right or left to get to the beach access (took about 15-20 minutes). It was very hot when we came so the walk was hard with the four little kids. Having to put on the sheets yourself is not ideal, make sure you bring a stopper for the bathtub (we had to give our kids showers), and bring extra toilet paper and paper towels (minimal provided), shampoo/conditioner not provided (not that abnormal, I am just used to having those at the other places we rent so had to go buy some), and you are not allowed to use the bath towels for anything else so you need to buy kitchen towels or use a lot of paper towels.

This property was wonderful for 6 teachers looking to rest up for the upcoming school year! The house was beautiful and very clean! It came stocked with a great selection of beach items. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. The property manager was so nice, even allowing an earlier check in. She also left us a sweet gift and note of appreciation. Great stay!

Location was perfect. Wanted somewhere where we could have a short walk to the beach.
Also v grateful for all the beach supplies provided - chairs, body board, buckets/spades, coolbag & ice packs... It really enhanced our stay!
We had a very disappointing surprise on arrival.. exhausted after a 9hr drive with 3 kids to find we had to make our own beds. That should’ve been on the listing -I hope this helps future guests. If I had known ahead I would’ve been mentally prepared, or perhaps even chosen not to book. We had to figure out which beds were queen/double & then all the fun & games of getting sheets on bunks or double beds that are up against walls…
They also ask you to strip beds at the end, and ‘wipe down all the surfaces’. Honestly? This made me nervous. Does that mean they don’t clean surfaces? The guest before me could have used anything at all to clean surfaces :/. So I actually went ahead & spray cleaned them all on arrival myself just to be sure.
Anyway once we got all that done it was fine.
Kitchen was fairly well stocked. As a tea drinker I would have appreciated a kettle. Had to boil water in a saucepan. Not a big deal. Freezer door doesn’t close properly. All our ice cream melted before we realised. It needs a firm second push in. And missed kitchen scissors and/or chopping board for slicing pizza.
None of this was a huge deal and we loved our break. Beautiful well appointed little cottage. Wld’ve been 5* without the niggles.

Oak Island Family Vacation
This property was well maintained and very convenient to stay at. It is a short walk to the beach and with the beach cart this was easy to do. The outside rinse off area was very nice for removing sand from everything. We enjoyed using the grill and just sitting outside and visiting. Marta was always available to answer any questions and was very welcoming.

Don't let the outer appearance of this little cottage fool you. It's cute on the outside with plenty of parking but the inside is beautiful. We had 8 adults with us and were plenty comfortable. Plus it's close to everything!! Marta was a pleasure to work with and even has beach chairs and an umbrella we could use.

Place was very cozy and instantly felt inviting. Located walking distance to the beach and within miles of many restaurants and stores. I will certainly add this location as one of our top vacation spots.

This was an outstanding property. At a first glance you'd be uncertain to rent the property, but once inside you will see it is a well kept, clean home with great amenities. There are family board games to play, a television with streaming services, and a fully equipped modern kitchen. There is a large sitting area where everyone can congregate and socialize easily. The placement of the house is very close to the beach, shopping centers, and restaurants so you will not have to go very far for what you need. This property cannot be recommended highly enough.

Just got back from our one week vacation. The interior of the cottage is clean. The location is good which is just 8minutes walk to the beach. The only thing we didn’t satisfy is, the two doors of the small bedroom can’t lock properly. Hopefully the owner can fix it.

We were very happy with our stay at Tranquil Harbour! The house was clean and inviting. The location was great. We chose to drive to the beach since we had a baby, but the walk was easy too. Having access to beach chairs and a chair cart made packing so much easier. We also enjoyed Oak Island quite a bit. The pier was beautiful and the beach was wide and not too choppy. Couldn’t have had a better trip. Thanks for a great stay!

Although we got off to a rocky start due to AC not working, the owner promptly had a technician out to repair it. Worked fine after that. The house was very clean, nicely equipped and decorated. Only downside for families with kids is being a bit far back from beach and no TV in 2 of the bedrooms, Other than that it was a lovely house!

Great place to get away
Me, my wife and son really enjoyed our stay at Tranquil Harbor, it provided a quick access to the beach and all the restaurants. Beach is definitely walkable but with a 21 month old we only walked once, it was a very short drive the other 2 days. Plenty of room at the house to hang out if the weather isn't great, even had netflix to enjoy during our down time. Will be back one day in the future.

We loved our stay at Marta’s place! House was clean and exactly as advertised. Plenty of room for our family of four (2 adults and 2 teens) and Grammy! Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking dinners at home. Decor was adorable and comfy. Having the beach gear available (5 beach chairs, beach cart, toys, cooler bag, umbrella) was a HUGE bonus!! Don’t forget to pack your own beach towels. Towels and sheets are professionally cleaned and packaged for you on arrival. Our only complaint was that the sheets are super stiff, like the company starched them. Other than that everything was wonderful! Location is great- maybe 5 blocks to the beach, but we drove daily and had no problems finding parking. Marta was great and easy to get in touch with. Solid 5 star spot- hope we get to visit again!!
