As such, early check-ins and late check-outs are suspended indefinitely. Should you arrive early, please plan to go to the beach or find another activity that keeps you away from the house so the cleaning crew can properly disinfect before your stay.

This is our 2nd time staying in this wonderful home. We have rented many beaches in the past and this one by far has every amenity you could want and the kitchen has more supplies than mine at home has! Highly recommend!!

This house was ideal for a multigenerational family vacation. The bedroom layout was perfect and allowed for everyone to have their own space with a view! The location was a 10/10 right on the beach with gorgeous views. Everything about this home was conducive to a wonderful family vacation. The host was very communicative and helpful and answered all of our questions. We hope to stay again in the future!

We had a wonderful time at the property. It had the best stocked kitchen in terms of cooking. With small children, keeping it simple with meals is key.
Also the toys, outdoor equipment and games added to an amazing experience for all ages 1-63 years young.
Communication back and forth with the owners was quick, efficient and so helpful.
I would love to bring my family back to relax, reconnect and create more memories.

Our family Definitely enjoyed this beautiful calming beach house. From the pool/hot tub, and short walk to the ocean, it was all amazing. Plenty of games/activities to enjoy while here and plenty of restaurants and attractions near. Will definitely be back next year

Favorite house on Oak Island. Layout and floor plan are optimal for our group. Oceanfront, pool, and hot tub make life easy. Kitchen has everything we need.

It was gray and raining most of the time but we didn’t care! The house is lovely, well appointed and comfortable! To wake up and sit on the back deck with our coffee, looking out to the ocean was amazing. Our pups enjoyed people watching from the back deck as well. Cocktail hour in the hot tub was magnificent! The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. We didn’t spend much time by the pool but when we return we will enjoy the swinging bed next to it, along with plenty of seating and shade. An outdoor grill where we grilled fish was excellent to have and the outdoor shower we loved too!
The owners clearly put a lot of thought and care into a total comfort package. Highly recommend! We were sad to pull out today but we look forward to returning.

We greatly enjoyed our first trip to Oak Island. The house was a great fit for our family and it was wonderful to be right on the beach. The property manager was great.

“Aquaholic” is well maintained and clean. Patrick (the owner) was communicative and thorough.
The beach is easily accessed over the dunes in just a short distance. No beach wagons required!
The house is very close to the “Point,” the westernmost portion of the island, where we launched kayaks, SUP’s and a lot of bait!
Great time for our group of three generations.

The vacation spot we were looking for. Brilliant views of the ocean from an open concept kitchen/dining/living area. Massive wide covered patio. Immediate access to a private beach. Responsive and available owner (and very nice!). 4 of the bedrooms have their own en suite private bathroom - so each family has their own quiet space. Well laid out. Just exactly what we all wanted. Thank you so much.

First family vacation in years.
Aquaholic was a quiet, clean, spacious and calming place. We loved the beach access and private pool. This was one of the most relaxing vacations we've had in years. We had our entire family and made wonderful memories. It was grandma's first vacation in 34 years, so she was thrilled with the accommodations. The hosts were very easy to get in touch with if any problems arose and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely visit again!

Oak Island Dream
Such a lovely place to spend a week or three! In my mind, this is the quintessential NC beach house: swing on the front porch to watch the sunset over the inland side, rocking chairs on the deep covered back porch to watch the sunrise over the ocean, directly on the beach so that you can step right out first thing in the morning to hunt for shells, and a lovely saltwater swimming pool that has just the right mix of shade and sun. Inside, it has a beautiful open kitchen with everything you need for cooking, plenty of dining space for the whole family, a super-cute vintage kids’ table, and a really cozy vibe. Best of all, it has four separate adult suites, all with their own hallways, closets, and full bathrooms, and the coolest kids’ room with *five* twin beds with trundles low to the ground, perfect for the under-five set. Baby gate and crib are tucked away in a closet too. The hosts were super-nice and thought of everything you could want, and we can’t wait to stay there again next year!

This house is perfect for a large or extended family. We were 8 adults and 4 kids, ages 8 to 83, and the set up was perfect. The owner/manager was extremely responsive to any requests. Kitchen was completely stocked and then some. Location is great and far enough away from everything that it was quiet but still convenient. Pool and hot tub were top notch although nobody came by to treat the tub or pool at any point in the week. Many homes have pools on second level with a view but we were happy to be able to get out of the wind on the first level.
Complaints were beach chairs were rusted and tiny and not enough provided. Manager had more delivered when we asked for them but still only had 6 working chairs for 12 people. There is no outdoor eating area. A sturdy picnic table (heavy duty resin) would have worked perfectly on upper deck. I've seen those things hold still in class 5 hurricanes in the Caribbean. The small table by the pool has 4 chairs.
I didn't realize we would be required to make our own beds (all 8 of them) after what was a long trip for us. No bath mats provided with towels. One dirty mat hanging in upstairs master. I think for the price of the house it would be a small thing for the beds to be made. I also think that beach towels should be provided at a beach house although this was disclosed in the description. We went down to Kings Beachwear and bought beach towels at two for $10. Would be easy enough to provide. I understand that towels can get lost or stolen but it is a small price of doing business. The grill was left dirty from previous tenants.
All in all a very relaxing and enjoyable property and would rent again.

Beautiful House steps from beach
Aquaholic was beautiful and clean. It fit our large family well. The house was well stocked and was just as described and pictured. The beach was very quiet. Patrick checked in with us during our stay and was easy to contact before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this rental.

We had a blast. The owner was super helpful and wanted to ensure we had a great vacation. The house had everything we needed and more - fully stocked kitchen for cooking, toys and board games for the kids.

Patrick was attentive and extremely thoughtful. When we asked if he had any decorations up for Christmas, Patrick replied that they had none, BUT he and his family put up and decorated a beautiful lighted Christmas tree! We loved the kitchen and its amazing inventory of dishes, drinkware, and small appliances. The ice machine was an added bonus. The personal touches in the house made us feel like we were staying at a friend’s house. We loved watching sunrise AND sunset while sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch.

Perfect Winter Get Away!
This was the perfect place to enjoy some family time with our kids while they were home from college on winter break! The house is beautiful! The owners seem to have thought of everything a vacationing family might need, from kitchen appliances (who would have expected an ice cream maker?!) to pool toys to rocking chairs on the covered porch overlooking the ocean. Aquaholics is heaven. We can’t wait to return!

One of the best vacations - this property is perfect. The hosts have thought of everything. This property is the perfect location with every amenity you could want. 2 families with 2 little ones and everyone shared the same exceptional feedback. Wonderful host that provided fantastic recommendations for things to do on the island. I was hesitant about writing such an honest review of this perfect property because it is truly one of a kind and we all wish it was available to stay all summer! :-) cannot say enough about this property and our wonderful stay on Oak Island.

Everything we hoped for multiplied by 1000!
The moment we opened the door to Aquaholic, we were greeted by a spectacular view and the amenities of a five-star hotel, yet the comfort of a home. Our entire family had plenty of room for privacy as well as cooking, dining and gathering together. The games, child-sized table, televisions in each bedroom, pool toys and beach toys were appreciated by our younger family members. But, they loved the private pool most of all. The kitchen was well equipped for meal preparation and service. So many dishes! We were amazed how close the house is to the beach. It was wonderful to sit on both the upper and lower decks and watch the waves, wildlife and swimmers. We fell asleep each night to the sound of waves crashing against the shore. The owners were so kind to make recommendations for special local events and happenings. Oak Island provided us the opportunity to swim, ride the waves, sunbathe, kayak, shop and sample the local cuisine. Something for everyone. The farmers market was also a plus. A special shout out to the cleaning crew - the home was spotless when we arrived! This home, on this beach, was the perfect vacation location for our family. We can’t wait to come back to Aquaholic!

This beach house is absolutely wonderful. The location on the West end of the island is perfect, it’s not crowded and it seems more quiet than the East end. Walking the beach and looking at the other beachfront houses it appears that this property is one of the best-not all of the properties have a pool or hot tub. Our group ranged in age from 2 to 67 and everyone had plenty of space and privacy. We cooked most of our meals in the gourmet kitchen, it has everything you could possibly need. Four bedrooms have their own bathroom which is super nice and the rooms felt very private and quiet. Each room has its own TV as well. The kids room is complete with games, toys and books among other helpful things like a stool and extra blankets. There’s plenty of books, magazines, card and board games, and puzzles to keep everyone entertained. The decor is very tasteful and updated, especially the kitchen and main living area. There’s even a Bose radio in the living room. The owner truly thought of everything, we really had everything we needed. The pool has a very shallow section which is great for younger kids and next to the pool is a ton of toys for either the pool or beach. The hot tub is also amazing with views of the ocean from the top deck. There are rocking chairs on a covered deck which is ideal for shade seekers or those wanting to enjoy a cup of coffee while overlooking the ocean. The beach is not crowded at all and early morning walks on the beach are amazing. There is a swing on the front porch to enjoy the sunrise/sunset over the marsh. There are two refrigerators which is a must with a large group. The small kids table is great for meals. The washer and dryer is also great to be able to use. The outdoor shower was a big hit with both the kids and adults, it even has hot water. The kids were fortunate enough to see sea turtle eggs being moved in the dunes and were provided a mini lesson about them. The Italian Ice cart on the beach was really good. The owner is such a nice person and very helpful and responsive. I cannot say enough great things about this property. I did a lot of research to find the perfect beach house for our group and this property definitely pleased everyone. We cannot wait to visit again.
