We had a fabulous stay! The home was clean, in a great location and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!!

We loved our stay at this beautiful house. The weather wasn't great for the week but plenty to do with ping pong, cornhole, backgammon and reading on the porch. The kitchen was well stocked.

Having never visited Oak Island before or known anyone who has visited the area, my family and I were unsure of what to expect. We selected the Southerly based on the proximity to the beach/intracostal waterway, the use of a family-size golf cart to get around, and the lovely photos of the residence itself. When we arrived, we were floored at the beauty of the property, the immaculate condition of every room in the home, and the special amenities such as a beautiful screened-in, private back porch w/a TV, a fully stocked kitchen, an outside lower-level w/a ping-pong table, another TV, a garage containing every beach item you could think of, and an awesome private shower to use after a day at the beach. We have rented other properties around the country on previous vacations, but the Southerly was hands-down the nicest property we have ever stayed at and the photos are true representations of the what to expect. We fell in love with Oak Island, its residents, and the Southerly! We will not hesitate to recommend this location and property to anyone interested in visiting the area, and we will for sure be returning to the Southerly sooner than later!

The home was nice and clean and the amenities were excellent. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was nicely stocked. The host was great and we enjoyed our stay, but, the home reeked of smoke and permeated everything we brought with us. When we first arrived, we tried to air it out by opening doors and allowing for a cross breeze through the home, but, in the end, we actually took the smokey smell back home with us in our belongings and even our vehicles smelled of the smoke.
