Reviews

The Big House
5/5 stars
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Big House in Oak Island. The house was clean and we had everything needed for cooking, etc. for 12 people. The location right on the beach had easy access with a few steps to the beach. The sunrise and the sunsets were beautiful from the deck. We will be back.
- Debbie

Thank you, Debbie, for your wonderful feedback! We’re happy to hear that you and your group enjoyed your stay at The Big House and found everything you needed for your time there. The beach access and those sunrises and sunsets truly are special! We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

The Big House
5/5 stars
We traveled from Asheville NC and made it out just before Helene hit to this house. Luckily we already had the reservation here. We were able to get our 87 year old Nana out as well as other family members. We so enjoyed the hike it was lovely and I love the way the bedrooms are set up you couldn’t hear anything in your room and that was awesome. The view of the beach from the porch was magical especially in a time like this we were all able to enjoy our time there. Would love to come back!
- Joel

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Joel! We're so glad to hear that you and your family, especially your Nana, made it safely and were able to enjoy the stay. It’s wonderful that the home provided comfort and that the beach view brought some peace during this time. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Large Home
5/5 stars
The house was plenty large enough for our big family, the kitchen was well equipped and my family loved the ice maker! Few concerns we had with the home and the mgmt company said they would address right away. While we did miss the shade canopy not being there to provide shade during the day as well as no enclosed outdoor shower, the house was still overall great!
- Roberta

Thank you, Roberta, for your feedback! We're glad to hear that the house was spacious and well-equipped for your family, and that the ice maker was a hit! We appreciate you mentioning the concerns, and our Team is working to address those right away. While the missing shade canopy and lack of an enclosed outdoor shower were missed, we're happy the house still met your expectations overall. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Great time with the family
5/5 stars
Our trip to Oak Island was enhanced by the house we stayed in. The open living, dining and kitchen were wonderful for the whole family to gather, laugh and play. There were ample bedrooms and beds for everyone to be comfortable. It was a wonderful vacation and enjoyed by the entire family. Although our trip planning was rocky through another vender, iTrip came to the rescue and really stepped up to make sure the reservation and accommodations were top notch. Thanks to iTrip, everything was great.
- Katie

Great Home!
5/5 stars
Our family of 10 has stayed in many different vacation rentals along the Carolina coast and this was the best one yet. We enjoyed the especially large living area with 3 sofas, the spacious deck and seating and covered area, the ease of getting on the beach, the number of comfortable beds in the home, and numerous other smaller details. I highly recommend the Bar-B-Que House for dinner and taking advantage of the gentle slope of the sand and surf at low tide with the kids! Thank you for hosting our crew.
- Nick

I'm so happy to hear that your family had such a wonderful stay at our home! It's great to know that you enjoyed the spacious living area, deck, and comfortable beds. I'm glad the easy beach access and smaller details added to your experience. We're happy to have hosted your family and look forward to welcoming you back for more great memories! Thank you for choosing our home for your family getaway!

The Big House at Oak Island was awesome. The house was immaculate and the kitchen had everything needed and then some! There was plenty of space for the 12 of us who stayed. The sunsets were beautiful every night. It was convenient for the grocery stores and eating out. We enjoyed our stay and can't wait to do it again!
