Clean ~ beautiful setting ~ scenic walk or ride your bikes to the beach

Love Winds is kept fresh by changing out furniture every couple of years. We also change the pillows after each season as well as bedspreads. Sometimes the pictures don't reflect those changes and so making it easy to see that we do as we say.If fresh and clean is important to you then you have found the right place to stay.
In a straight line the house is a half of a mile from beach.
If you want to walk to the beach take the scenic walkway at the end of our street. The nature trail starts out going over a bridge "Little Davies canal", through the woods then a boardwalk over the marsh, you will come to a street and should be able to see the ocean at that point, the walk takes about 15 - 20 minutes.
You can shorten the walk by parking at the recreation center and walking from there, it cuts the walk time by half.
Take a fishing rod and fish off the boardwalk on your way back from the beach for a fresh dinner.
If you have lots to carry then it's a 2 minute drive to the many access points you can park ,some are just yards from the beach next to the houses on the beach.

After a long day at the beach enjoy the shade of the beautiful oak trees surrounding the house and untouched wooded lots next door. Sit in the screened in deck and watch the small wild life frolic in the yard. In the evening sit at the fire pit next to the house.
Take a romantic evening walk to the beach down our street and through the nature trail. Find your inner child and explore the tree house or bring a fishing poll and fish off the boardwalk.Then continue your stroll down to the beach.

There is a large 52' flat screen TV in main living room, master bedroom and one upstairs, DVD players, Roku, CD/ipod player, board games, books, videos, puzzles, deck, screened porch. Washer and dryer in laundry room. We humbly ask that you help us keep the house clean and beautiful.
Pets and Smoking are strictly prohibited.

Nice ahort trip
My family enjoyed staying in oak island before we headed to BHI. This was a simple, clean perfect size for us house. My mothers only complaint was a handrail would be nice om the front patio steps leading to home. Little hard for an 80yr with bad knees. But other than that I highly recommend and would stay here again

Relaxing trip
Our stay was great! Good location. We liked being able to walk to the scenic walkway which was beautiful at sunset. I would recommend puting a hose outside to get the sand off when returning from the beach, but other than that it had everything we needed.

Fun stay at Love Winds
This property was just as described. Very cozy, even on a rainy weekend! The host was very responsive to us during our stay, when we reported that the dishwasher wasn’t working. Would stay here again when in the area.

Quiet and Peaceful Oasis
Love Winds provided the perfect atmosphere for our vacation. It was bitterly cold outside, but warm inside. The couch is positioned perfectly to enjoy the view of trees and wildlife from the floor to ceiling windows. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the bed was comfortable.

Our favorite vacation home ever
We are repeating our stay at Love Winds at Oak Island. From the moment we came I. It felt like being home again. Everything you possibly need is provided. The location is quiet & shady and the perfect screened in porch (& fire pit which we didnt use this time but did last time). The furnishings are so nice & I love cooking in the kitchen! Kevin is a perfect host. You will love his home & how convenient it is to everything...including the turtles at Caswell. Thank for another perfect vacation

We enjoyed our stay. It was a relaxing and cozy place to stay. Internet was a little slow, but I guess that's because we're used to fiber. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

Unforgettable, Book NOW!
10 out of 10! This was by far the best air b&b experience we've ever had. My family and I booked the Love Winds for my birthday weekend celebrations, and it exceeded expectations! This retro chic property is the best for an island getaway. The homey and quaint vibe made it easy for us to get comfortable, and the uniqueness of the architecture of the building lent to the vacation experience we were looking for. COVID, what? The property was spotless; we felt so safe staying here. Highly recommended for all groups! The host was awesome! When we arrived and did a quick walk through, we noticed that one of the amenities (the iron) was missing. We informed the host, and he immediately addressed the problem by reimbursing us for the iron we bought at the nearby store. Definitely will be booking another stay here in the NEAR future!

Rainy weekend stay
Our family of four stayed here for the Holden Beach Half-Marathon. The house was clean and well-maintained. It worked out well for our family and would work well for a family with up to four kids. The loft area has 4 twin beds. It is centrally located in Oak Island, close to restaurants. We especially enjoyed Kai-Joes. We had a great weekend eventhough it rained the entire time! Thank you for sharing your house with us!

Great property! Close to family friendly beaches. Quiet neighborhood. Relaxing vacation which is exactly what we were looking for. Home has a cabin feel on the outside and beach feel on the inside. Great combo for this Colorado family.

This is the start of our family tradition!
My grandsons were soooo excited the moment we drove in the driveway "this is our house, Nana. (We) love it". It is the perfect size for a small family of (like us) 3 to 5-6. Everything you could need was provided (included a wonderful washer & dryer... necessary for 2 boys!) Loved being able to listen to music thru the Google mini dot. Celebrated my boys 9th birthday, too! As soon as possible I am booking for us next yr. Convienent, adoreable & perfect. (Would love to buy it!!) Thank you so much.

Very cute beach house with everything we needed. We were hoping bikes would still be there since it’s quite a walk to the beach for younger kids, but usually would drive to the beach. Otherwise had a great stay!

Charming home within walking distance to beach and waterway. Quiet street not too close to beach crowds but close enough to get to activities. Appreciated having laundry, yard, and loved the loft space upstairs. Loved the feel of Oak Island and would definitely stay at this property again. Had a little challenge with the lockbox (door was initially stuck) but visit was great!
