Wonderful week at the beach
Had another great stay at Cescape. It's perfect for us and our two labs. House is well maintained and clean. Great place to get away and relax. Lots of great places nearby to eat. Labs love the fenced-in yard. Steve and Rhonda are wonderful hosts, communicating well and quickly addressing any questions.

Family Get Away/Birthday Celebration
Thank you so much for opening up your home to my children and I and all our fluffy babies! We all had a wonderful trip with family time and a birthday celebration. The ocean and sand is always very relaxing. And we were so thankful you allowed pets so the whole family could come. Hopefully we can return soon!

Highly recommend Island life
Great location, wonderful hosts, the cleanliness had some issues but I let the hosts know since it is a company they use for the rental. They are addressing the issue, responded fast to my concerns and made it right. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it. Close to shopping and not far from beach.

Cute place nice neighbors
We had a great time. Neighbors were pretty cool and their dog was very friendly. Definitely liked the fenced in yard but the big guy can be intimidating if your dog gets spooked easily. Owners were responsive and property was ready when we arrived. Although the cleaning crew didnt do the greatest job thats not on the owner.

Poorly managed property
1. The whole house had a musty smell which propagated to our clothing. 2. The scatter rugs are a safety hazard as they easily slip and move under your feet. 3. We did not have the property to ourselves as there was a boat on the property which came and went. 4. After emptying the trash cans they were immediately filled up by someone other than us. 5. Two round bowls in the kitchen had discussing stains in them so we were concerned about using them. We have used VRBO twice before and this was the worst experience of them all.

Cescape is Our Happy Place
This was our second experience staying at Cescape. Steve is an amazing host and very attentive. The house is very comfortable and provides everything you need. The location is close to the beach, tons of restaurants, grocery stores and cute shops. The neighborhood is quiet with stunning houses everywhere. I enjoyed taking long walks in the neighborhood everyday morning especially at the end of the street by the Inner Coastal. The property has the perfect backyard for your fur babies with a fence and also a kennel. We rented Steve’s golf cart again and had a blast with it. My family and 2 dogs had a perfect Spring break once again and plan on returning.

Short visit to Oak Island and Southport
My husband and I enjoyed our brief visit to the Oak Island and Southport area---even though the weather did not cooperate. However, this cute and cozy beach cottage made up for the bad weather. We found it clean and inviting and well equipped. The fenced back yard was a plus for our 2 fur babies. The owner, Steve, was so helpful when we could not operate the TV---we are untechy---and sent over the manager to get it all set up. Fortunately the weather did clear enough for us to explore a bit. We do want to return and hopefully will be able to stay in this great house again.

Excellent week
We had a wonderful week and we highly recommend renting the golf cart as well. We come every summer from WI and normally bring a ton of sand back in our vehicle, this is the cleanest our truck has been because we used the golf cart to go back and forth to the beach. It was perfect. My dog loved the great dane next store - his name is Onyx and is the sweetest dog. Both neighbors were very friendly. Steve responds so quickly and worked with us regarding a slightly earlier check in time, which worked out great from us. We had just spent a week in Wilmington and were coming directly to Oak Island. Thank you again Steve for everything. The photos look just like the property. We loved the location and easy beach access.

Fantastic Vacation !!
We just rented Tranquil Harbour for our family vacation and had a wonderful time. The house has been recently renovated and the decorations are beautiful . It did not feel like a rental home - it felt like we were at HOME . The house had EVERYTHING we needed . The kitchen was fully stocked even down to my favorite Pampered Chef large measuring bowl -just like mine at home. The house was clean and it was so nice to have the linens available and not have to clean afterwards . We were also thankful to be able to bring our small dog on our family vacation - it had a nice backyard with shade to walk him in . We can't wait to come back and rent this home again . The owners were available if we had any concerns and were very pleasant to deal with. Thanks again for a Fantastic Vacation !! The Russell Family

Cute House
The house was cute. Rooms where a great size. Mattresses is all three beds were awful. Cleanliness was an issue. The "House" instructions including stripping the beds and putting laundry in a basket, but the cleaning company had their own rules that included sweeping all of the floors before you leave. We found 3 LARGE acrylic fingernail around the house that was pretty gross. The beds are not made when you get there. The sheets are in a plastic package to ensure cleanliness, but it also means you had to make the beds. The owner was great about communication, just wish the cleaning company was better.

Tranquility
This property was lovely. The cottage was clean and bright, very comfortable and well appointed, My wife and I enjoyed our two week stay and we were joined by our adult kids daughter in law for varing periods. We all had a lovely time..getting such unity of opinion is extremely rare for my family. The only issue I had was regarding lthe discription of the distance to the beach. While , yes it is probably a 12 minute walk to the strand, unfortunately that would require an unprotected crossing of a very busy avenue. For safetiy's sake we preferted using our golf carts to travel several blocks to a traffic signal in order t cross. This a very minior issue as long as you have a golf cart at your disposal.
