Wonderful Oak Island home, fantastic host

This is a perfect 3 bedroom, centrally located Oak Island beach home. It is well stocked with beach essentials, and the best feature is the view of Davis Canal/marsh from the back deck. Clean, organized, and the host is a great communicator. Would highly recommend this home on Oak Island!

Most restful week ever!

This was our first visit to Oak Island and it did not disappoint! Quiet, beautiful, while providing just enough to do for teens that were with us! The house was so spacious with plenty of anything you might need! The beach chairs, bikes, and umbrellas were a huge bonus and saved us car space! The deck off the kitchen overlooking the marsh is where we spent a ton of time. The sunsets as we sat there eating dinner were spectacular! Definitely a week to remember and can’t wait to visit again! Thanks for such a wonderful experience!

Fabulous place!

We had a great time here for Easter weekend. The house was spotless, with plenty of living space for us all to spread out and for the kids to play. It’s a short walk to the beach access, but the wagon there made it easy to get all the kids there with minimal whining. The kitchen is stocked with all the basics and there were plenty of towels and extra blankets!

Wonderful beach stay!

A beautiful house in a more relaxed area of OKI! We love coming to Oak Island and were so happy to find this gem on a quieter part of the island The house was very clean, spacious, beautifully decorated, and has great views of both the marsh and ocean! We spent time relaxing on the decks, and it was a short walk to the beach. Dave was responsive and quick to any questions. They were super thoughtful with extra amenities. The wagon was especially helpful when we were taking things to the beach. They have a great selection of games and there is a lot of space for people to hang out. Thanks for providing us a great house for my family to enjoy our vacation! We hope to come again for our next one!

First timers

For many in my group, this was our first time in OKI. This house and Dave made our trip easy and memorable! There were so many things at the house to help us enjoy it and the beach. We loved hanging out on the multiple decks and the giant sectional was the perfect gathering spot our late night conversations.

Vay-K before new gig

My wife, 4 kids and I stayed at David’s place in Oak Island. It was PERFECT. We wanted to be close to the beach, the walk was short and easily manageable. If we needed anything it was really easy to make a quick trip and be back in the sun. The house was very clean and comfortable. David was VERY responsive. Would definitely recommend and want to come back!

Great location, spacious home with fantastic views

Our family of 4 adults/2 grandkids had a great time at the Mayer home. Kids loved the twin bedroom - especially the wall murals and stuffed crab, octopus and turtle. Home met our needs for comfort and space. Wish list - a hammock on the rear deck overlooking the marsh - the breeze there was fantastic with beautiful sunsets/sunrises. Kids liked playing the ring toss game. Access was easy with key code and checkout very simple. Appreciated use of beach wagon, chairs, bikes and boogie boards and short walk to beach. Location is in a quiet neighborhood with close proximity to beach and The Point. Dave responds quickly to any questions. We would rent this property again.

Beauty at the Beach

When our long-awaited beach vacation was threatened by Tropical Storm Debby, we were grateful that the owner allowed us to shift our arrival date by one day so that the worst of the storm could pass. We were delighted to discover that the house was as lovely as it appeared in the photos. The house is well decorated and had everything we needed to make our vacation comfortable. Since we were traveling with a four-year-old and an infant, the easy access to the beach and the availability of a wagon were greatly appreciated. The view of the canal from the back decks was stunning. My son set up his scope to watch birds every day. We like being on the quiet side of Oak Island. The house itself was very quiet - when we were downstairs, we could not hear people talking on the second floor. We would definitely reserve this house if we return to Oak Island. The house is well suited for a multi-generation family trip.

Family Vacation OKI

The Mayers home is absolutely gorgeous and it feels like home. They thought of every thing and supplied it all. We especially enjoyed the family room upstairs. We love to play games and with seven of us we needed the room to spread out. ;) The dining room table fit all of us for our breakfast. We did get to eat breakfast outside one morning when it wasn't raining. The view was spectacular. Dave was always quick to answer any questions I had. His recommendations were on point as well. Our family loves to ride bikes and paddle. The Mayers had it all. Unfortunately, we did not get to paddle, but , next time. Thanks again for sharing your home with our family.

Great stay on Oak Island

Great property on the quiet, west end of the island. Very convenient to beach-- a few minutes walk -- and to the marsh/canal -- a brief walk to the public access at the end of the road-- to kayak or fish or explore. Spacious property, and very clean - just as advertised. Would stay here again.

Terrific House and Terrific Location

We stayed here in July 2022. The property owner was very responsive, polite and quick to answer various questions that we had. The house is excellent. Very clean, bright and newly renovated with a fantastic view of the Sound. It is also a very short walk to the beach. It is further west on Oak Island, and therefore a little less crowded, but still a very short drive for groceries, etc. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking your own meals, and also has a very nice gas grill on the upper porch. There is also a very nice 'sand room' on the bottom floor that allows you to stow beach gear at the end of every day. The house also has a very sophisticated sound system and TVs that allow you to access various subscription channels. I highly recommend this property!

Week Beach trip!

We loved staying at the house for a whole week! The house is beautiful and is exactly as pictured. Everything was clean and amenities were provided for everything you would need at the beach. The home is a very short walk to the beach that was so convenient for our 1 year old. They even provided a beach cart and cooler which was perfect for beach days! Beautiful quiet neighborhood. Will definitely be returning for another stay in the future!

About the host

Hosted by David Mayers

Host profile image
I'm Dave Mayers, and I'm so delighted you're considering or have booked time at our vacation home in Oak Island. I reside mostly at our home in Charlotte, NC, and am married with 3 children ranging in age from a freshman in high school, to a senior in college.

I work for a large consulting company, and I personally specialize in providing software services and consulting for power utilities, gas utilities and water utilities. I've also been an avid real estate investor since 2005, investing mostly in single family rental houses in the Charlotte area.

The recent purchase of this home on Oak Island is a departure for me, both in terms of type of real estate investing, and location. It is perhaps the first step towards retirement, with this house likely becoming a future full time residence for me and my wife. In the interim, it is a place for us to vacation and to pour our heart and soul into shaping and molding. I've always had what I call a "passion for place", and love to take overlooked properties and create something special. I've done this for years in typical residential areas of Charlotte - but having a canvas like this one on Oak Island by the ocean has infused me with a new energy and passion.

I'm genuinely excited to share our home with you, and hope that it gives you the coastal experience you're seeking, perhaps with a unique flair. In fact, one of the things I'm most looking forward to is hearing your feedback after you've had the chance to vacation here - something I didn't get with my residential properties with tenants who lived there for a year or more! Your real time feedback will help me focus my "passion for place" into continuously improving the property in ways I may not have previously considered.

I hope you will find this home as relaxing and enjoyable as I do, and please don't hesitate to reach out to me during your stay if anything is not up to standard in any way. Cheers!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property because of its location on the quieter western side of Oak Island. Also, I felt that this property was unique with its combination of both easy and quick beach access, along with unparalleled views of the Davis Canal from the expansive back deck. Additionally, I was compelled by the fact that this custom built home had never been rented, and was recently updated inside. I personally invested heavily on upgrading the exterior with paint, and with brand new decks to complete the vision of a superior Oak Island vacation home.

What makes this property unique

This house is unique in that it features both fantastic ocean views, and views of the Davis Canal (which are perhaps even more spectacular). Also, the house has been recently modernized and upgraded, and has never previously been rented until this year (2022). While the house is setup to sleep up to 8 people, it could easily host groups of up to 16 for meals and/or family gatherings with its expansive living and dining areas, making it an ideal central location for extended family gatherings who may be renting nearby.
