If you are traveling with your dogs, look no further. Just pack their favorite food and check into "Down Time". The home has everything you need to make your stay easy. Even if you forget something, chances are, they have spare there for you to borrow. The home is lovely and well appointed. The home is spotlessly clean, and the yard is private and serene. The owners were prompt with communication, and the neighbors friendly. What more could you want in a vacation rental?

The backyard is the perfect spot for our dogs, providing privacy, nicely cut grass, and plenty of seats to relax. The open floor plan inside is perfect for people to truly be together and relax. We will definitely be back!

Loved the place and highly recommend.

What a gem! The property was very clean, nicely decorated, very well appointed - perfect for my family, including our pup! I was a little unsure about how clean this home could actually be, considering it was advertised as being the Mecca for our furry friends, but this concern was completely unfounded! It was cleaner than most vacation rental homes we've stayed in that don't even accept pets! My husband had to work during our stay, and the all-season room in the front of the house was the perfect space for him. The house is close to beach access - about 5 minutes via golf cart (which I highly recommend renting a golf cart during your stay!). My daughters loved the bunk beds. The snacks left on the kitchen table were such a thoughtful touch! We love that our whole entire family found such a great place to stay with our pup! We can't wait to come back! Thanks so much for a great vacation!

Very nice and updated place. Great set up for dogs. Convenient walk to the beach. Owners was very responsive to questions.

We had the best weekend at Down Time. Even with a weekend of rain this house provided us plenty to do inside and on the beautiful screened in porch. Neighbors were lovely, house was immaculately clean, and all the little touches to make our dogs stay more comfortable were so nice!! We already loved OKI this house is just another to add to our list to return to. Hosts were excellent with communication. All around great stay, we can’t wait to come back.

I had a lovely 2 days of peace and relaxation at DownTime. The owners responded quickly to my questions and the house was lovely, spacious and comfortable. Great neighborhood, easy access to the beach and a good vibe on Oak Island. Great coastal community in NC, much more low key and less built up compared to the Outer Banks.

My husband and I and our two doodles stayed here for a long weekend. It was so very nice!!! They had everything we needed and more. We will definitely stay here again. The back yard had a privacy fence, fire pit , and grill. We stayed in one night cooked out steaks and had a fire. We had a relaxing night just staying and hanging out with our dogs around the fire. I loved how the home is a one story ,very updated and organized. Thank you again for being so hospitable. Very friendly neighbors too!

First time to OKI, we always travel with our pets and this was absolutely the best property we have stayed at with them. If we ever go back there I would love to stay here again.

The home was meticulously kept, very comfortable and complete with everything you and your pet would need. Very fortunate to have found this home to spend a relaxing, enjoyable weekend with our pet! Our family will return!

This was a wonderful place and we (and our pup) thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this to all! We were blessed to have been able to stay in this lovely home.

We loved this place. Everything was just as described and more. Clean, quiet, short drive to beach. This was definitely one of our best vacations. We relaxed and enjoyed watching our pets discover a new place. We hope to visit again because for us and our pets it was perfect. We usually go to a hustle and bustle beach (commercialized) but Oak Island reminds me of the true spirit of a beach vacation for people wanting to really get away. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Loved our stay at Down Time. Very clean and pet friendly. Located in a quiet neighborhood just a short drive from the beach. Great backyard with a shower for rinsing ourselves and the dogs after the beach. We will stay here again when we come back to Oak Island!

We really enjoyed our stay. The home is as shown online very clean, had everything we needed as well as great accommodations for the dogs.

Best vaca ever. Spotless, comfortable, hosts thought of everything and so nice to have our pup with us. Thank you.

Accommodations were superb! The home is furnished with everything you and/or your best (furry) friend would need for an enjoyable vacation. Great communication with the Host; very responsive. Our stay was absolutely fabulous. Love, love, love this place. We'll be back for sure!

Just what we needed so that our arthritic dog could vacation with us. Close to the beach but no steep stairs. Property was very nice and just as described. Yard was perfect for the dogs.

We had a lovely stay at Down Time! The home was spacious with lots of amenities that were perfect for families with kids. We spent much of our time in the sunroom. The home is located on a quiet street. The “wash your paws station” and outdoor shower were very useful coming off the beach. Our sweet Cali (dog) enjoyed her stay as much as we did. They have dog crates, beds and cots available for your furry friends. We would definitely stay at Down Time again.

The home was very dog friendly. My dog loved the front porch and being able to watch cars and people go by. The owner was very informative, he answered all questions in a timely manner.

Down Time is an excellent dog friendly rental! It was also perfect for our kids ages 7, 8, & 11. The house is beautiful and so clean! The hosts are so accommodating and they leave some essentials to use that some people may forget to pack which made arriving & unpacking the first day so easy to not have to rush off to the store. We will definitely stay here again next year!

This was by far the best dog-friendly house we’ve ever stayed in!! It was clean, well-stocked with everything we needed, and the hosts were so great and understanding of all of our needs. We will definitely be back.

The listing is so on target! The host both Rachel and Jeremy were so easy to work with and very accommodating! They Love dogs!! Having the two wire kennels already there for us was wonderful. My dogs loved the back yard all fully fenced in!! Inside the house is cozy and comfortable. Very relaxing and so clean. I hope to be back again and again. It was a perfect stay. The drive to the beach is so easy and very close by. The neighborhood was great for walking my dogs and felt very safe as a single lady traveling with my pups! All Stars for this property and the host!

From the moment we walked in we knew we found the perfect house. It was not only impeccably beautiful but dog friendly in every corner. It made a world of difference knowing our pups were having just as much of a vacation as we were. The backyard is perfect for kicking up your feet and relaxing while the pups have a place to play. We loved that the fence gave us privacy. It rained one day while we were away and there were plenty of games to choose from to our delight! Everything is well thought out, we had everything we needed and them some! We can’t wait to book again 🐾🐾🐾

This property was very clean and a nice getaway. The backyard is a great area to relax and great for our Caroline to run around. Unfortunately we couldn't stay longer. Rachel and Jermey were very attentive, and you can see they take pride in their home. It's a great neighborhood! We will be back! Thanks Rachel and Jeremy.

Dogs loved it!!

The property was very clean and very nicely decorated. Lovely screened in porch area (three season.) Lots of amenities, including dog towels, dog beds, etc. We were with our (adult) son and daughter-in-law, as well as our dogs, and felt that everything was very convenient. The back yard was great for the doggos, and we enjoyed having a fire in the firepit in the evening. Communication was good with the hosts. We recommend this place highly, and would definitely stay here again, if it is available.

Dogs loved it!!

Owners were very helpful and answered all of my questions. We would definitely rent it again. Thanks.

I can not say enough about "Down Time!" I highly recommend this beautiful home! My husband and I, along with our 2 fur babies, loved our stay! The house is super clean and well equipped with everything that you would possibly need. We will be back very soon!
