Loved having the pool. Was refreshing after day on beach. We loved having access to bikes and beach wagon. Very nice not having to bring our own. Beach access is one block in either direction from house so itâs close. Very close to island way restaurant which was so good but make reservation way ahead of time.
Great cozy house super close to the beach!! We enjoyed our stay and loved having a pool and hot tub!!! Penny was an amazing host. She was very responsive to our texts! Would definitely stay again!
Penny is an amazing host. The house was clean and well stocked with amenities. We especially loved the pool and the bikes. We will definitely be staying here again.
The house was perfect for our adult weekend away. Host communicated all check in instructions. House was clean and well stocked. Hot tub was amazing for our February trip.
Nice house. Great pool. House is in the middle of 2 public beach accesses. The one to the left seemed closer. Outside shower was very nice. Quiet neighborhood. No problems or issues during our stay. Penny was great to let us know we could get in the house a little earlier since it was ready. We cooked every day. Enough cookware for a family of 8. Easy check in and out.
We visited for a long weekend over Easter and loved the home, island, and relaxation. Penny was a great host and very responsive. When our teenage daughter left her sandals Penny mailed them to us. The house is so cute and the beds were comfortable. The house is updated and very clean. The pool was the perfect place for our teenage kids to enjoy a swim and sunbathing in the lounge chairs. Unlike other places we have visited during Easter the area was not over-crowded and we were able to relax with out the stress of avoiding crowds. I would definitely recommend visiting!
Enjoyed our stay just before Christmas. Loved the hot tub + location is great - not far from grocery + other shopping but enough to be out of heavier traffic. Note if you like to go in the colder months like we do, the house has no central heat + was a bit cold. There are mini splits in each bedroom + the main area of the house. Also the pool was freezing + we couldnât use it as we had hoped even though it was supposed to be heated - thankful for the hot tub. House is cute + has all your basics. Really like that all towels were provided along with hand soaps + all your necessary kitchen cleaning items.
Perfect beach house for a long weekend! Location is absolutely the best for those of us who want the laid back beach experience. Short walk to the beach access. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our time at OKI. The heated pool and hot tub was an added bonus. Highly recommended Resting Beach Face.
Great stay! Beautiful home, heated pool & hot tub were a big hit. Property manager very attentive to our needs & any questions we had. Would recommend & book again.
The location of this place couldn't be better. A very short walk to the nearest public beach access so we never had to pay for parking, and it's located very near to the restaurants and shops.
Pros:
- Beach gear: chairs, umbrellas, a wagon that made taking it all to the beach a breeze, frisbee, bikes (we didn't use these -- bring a lock with you if you plan to use these as I didn't see one anywhere).
- the hot tub was divine
- the beds and pillows are wonderful.
- Lots of space in the living room, dining room, kitchen and the open floor plan allowed us to all remain together while cooking.
- the kitchen had everything we needed and more.
- the ability to control the temperature independently in each room was wonderful.
Not really cons, just things to know:
- the sheets and pillow cases are washed in something with a STRONG smell. If you are sensitive to smells like that, skip the linens provided by the host and bring your own.
- Everything gets damp. The air was working fine and maintained the temperatures we set, but the entire house was more humid than outdoors. Even things that never got wet were damp after a day of being in the house (hoodies, towels we never used, pillows). I ended up hanging towels and wet bathing suits outside to get them to dry or using the dryer.
- when asking about heating the pool, the host's idea of it being "warm enough" not to heat was definitely not ours. Just know that the advertised "heated pool" may not be heated even if you ask.
Loved the house, pool, property, neighborhood, amenities. Tons of chairs and beach toys provided along with wagon, umbrellas, cooler, pool floats, bikes. Absolutely perfect.
We truly enjoyed our stay here- very close to the beach access, pier, restaurants, you name it. The home was everything we wanted and more! The owner was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely be coming back!
We really enjoyed having our own pool and hot tub and it was only a short walk to the beach. It was nice to have bicycles available that we did not need to rent. We brought our own beach chairs but did not even need to use them since there were some available.
This property was so nice for me & my Wife & Daughter. We had the best time! It was very clean & comfortable. The property did not disappoint in any way. It is maybe 20 yards from beach access & if you rent a golf cart, easy parking... Two thumbs up!!!
My partner and I took our anniversary trip to this beautiful location. The house had great amenities and was right across the street from the beach. The owner is VERY quick to reply. All day sun at the pool :)
We had an overall great stay at Resting Beach Face. The location was great and o it a short walk to the beach. The had everything you need for a great stay. Kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable etc. The pool and hot tub were great! The only room for improvement Is with the advertised extras like beach chairs bikes and floats for the pool. All of these were advertised with the house but most of the beach chairs are rusted or dry rotting and same with the bikes. Several of the pool floats were busted of broken. None of these things would keep us from staying there again but we will rent bikes and bring beach chairs and floats :) Also, some kind of outdoor table for deck or back patio dining would be nice! Overall, I recommend this property for a great Oak Island Vacation!
