Perfect - Beautifully Decorated

The house was perfect for our family in terms of layout. We had our adult children, spouses, and grandchildren with us. The homeowner provided pack-n-plays and a highchair which we appreciated. There were 3 outdoor spaces so we could spread out and be quiet while the babies were sleeping. The house was beautifully decorated too!

A must-stay while visiting Oak Island. Great location, beautifully decorated, quiet location, and always very clean. Also, of high importance, pet friendly. We have spent many vacations in this property and would highly recommend. Thank you, Kathy, for sharing your lovely beach home!

We had a wonderful time staying in OKI. Kathy's Dream was a great place to stay. The location was awesome-just a block from the beach, the beautiful decor was so welcoming and the screened in porch/ front porch was so nice to relax in the morning or afternoon. The kitchen was great. Had everything you needed to cook! The house was also spotless. We loved the fact we were able to have our dog there too. Ty. Oak Island Accommodations was amazing too. We had a few minor issues and they responded immediately. They were awesome, professional and kind. I would recommend both this rental house and property management to all. Thanks for making our 10 days in OKI a great vacation. We will certainly be back next year.

This is by far the cleanest beach house we have ever rented.

We have vacationed at OKI for over 30 years. Since finding Kathy's Dream a few years ago, we have stayed nowhere else. Beautiful home, very comfortable, well-equipped, great location, ALWAYS immaculately clean; of huge importance after traveling 9+ hours. You know exactly what to expect on arrival with no surprises!!

My wife and I along with our Shih Tzu Remie so enjoyed our stay at Kathy's Dream, Oak Island. We so loved sitting on the porch upstairs, feeling the ocean breeze with a drink and relaxing, which was much needed. Remie enjoyed watching the people go by riding their bikes or walking their dogs. So cute to watch. This year was my wife's first Mother's Day without her Mama, who she lost this Jan 30th. Her mother loved the beach as much as my wife does so when I saw this place I knew she would love it and she did!!! We also enjoyed some of the wonderful restaurants close by. Our fav was Island Way, the dinners was awesome especially the crab legs and the crab dip (which we did takeout each night and everything was still hot when we got back). My wife and I hope to return for another weekend getaway at Kathy's Dream and the Oak Island area. Not sure when that will be, but hope it will be again this year. The decorations were so pretty, my wife took pics especially so she can find some like them for when we find our own place near the beach one day, which we hope will be very soon! If you're looking at renting Kathy's Dream don't hesitate, it was a very nice and comfortable place so close to the beach you won't be disappointed. Everything you need is there!!

If you are researching vacation rentals in Oak Island, search no more. This house is by far the best vacation home I have ever rented in North Carolina. The house is close to the ocean, decorated beautifully and is super clean. I really like that this house has no carpeting. So many vacation rental homes have horrific carpeting so the tile and laminate flooring in this house is wonderful. The top level screened in porch is exceptional. Kathy, thank you for sharing your home.
