Carefree by the Sea…. only 3 blocks from the BEACH!

Our host did an excellent job, questions answered immediately and very personable.

Very nice home located near the bay and an easy walk to the beach. Home and kitchen have everything you need for a great stay.

We came to Oak Island for a quick baseball trip and tried to squeeze in as much fun as possible. Shelly’s place was just as described in the photos. After the hiccups of getting in, keypad battery was dead, the interior shared area was gorgeous. Very spacious and welcoming. The beds were comfy and the water pressure in the master shower was amazing. Loved having the baby equipment there already. Lots of beach equipment, although we didn’t use. A few downfalls/recommendations of my particular trip would be, make sure the exterior is maintained. The bushes along the sidewalk to get in were way overgrown and blocking, as well as the chairs were covered with debris. (I swept the chairs and trimmed the debris for our trip.)The key code didn’t work, but Shelly was very responsive and helpful in my call. We never could find the kitchen light or the master bedroom light. Not sure if they were burnt out or we didn’t see the switch. Also, the interior was “clean”, but unsure if deep cleaned. There was an entire bag of trash in the can under the sink, countertops weren’t clean and there were several dead bugs in the open areas. It was also 80 degrees when we arrived inside the house. Two of the bedroom floors felt unstable as entering.

This is our third stay at this wonderful place and I don’t see how we can think of going elsewhere, since it has it all for us, a perfect layout, proximity to the ocean, but in a quiet homelike neighborhood. Thanks!
