We had a wonderful stay at the Carolina Coastal Cottage Retreat! A lovely space made even more comfortable by the small, thoughtful touches everywhere--spare toothbrushes in the bathrooms, ziploc bags in the kitchen drawers, laundry soap and stain remover for your clothes!We made use of the lovely pool, and borrowed the beach chairs and sun shade for our trip to the beach. We were a small group, but there are multiple places for relaxing around the house. I wish we could've stayed longer, and if circumstances take us back to Oak Island we'll definitely stay here again!

Our family had an amazing stay at Coastal Carolina Cottage! The home was super cute and even better than the pictures. It was spotless when we arrived, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable week away. This was the most thoughtfully stocked home that we have ever stayed at!The private pool quickly became everyone's favorite spot, and we loved relaxing on the porches while taking in the peaceful views of the Intracoastal Waterway. The outdoor living space was perfect for grilling, eating together, and winding down after spending the day at the beach.The location couldn't have been better. It was close to the beach, restaurants, and everything Oak Island has to offer, yet it still felt quiet and relaxing. It truly felt like our own little retreat.The host was wonderful to work with and made everything from booking to check-in incredibly easy. Their communication was excellent, and it was obvious they take great pride in their home.We made so many wonderful family memories here and were genuinely sad to leave. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Coastal Carolina Cottage to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing vacation on Oak Island!

Excellent!!! If I could give it a 10 rating, I would! Amy and Marty thought of everything! Besides the home being beautifully decorated, very comfortable, it is well stocked with everything you would need while on vacation, especially in the kitchen. We rented a golf cart from Ocean Hideaway to add to our vacation fun to get us back and forth to the beach, highly recommend. We spent a lot of time in the backyard, enjoying the pool, reading under the deck, playing cornhole and enjoyed the outside shower. Without a doubt, we will be back!
