One of the better homes we have booked through Airbnb. Had plenty of space for our family and pup. Was a short walk (with an 11m old and 2.5year old) to the beach. The host was spectacular. From his recommendations to local restaurants to making sure my family was comfortable in his home. Amazing place. We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at Otter Oasis. The house was clean, had all the dishware and cooking utensils needed to cook meals, and the bed was comfortable. It is only a short walk from the ocean, and children would love the park right across the street. I highly recommend this house for a nice vacation.

Our stay was great! The location is awesome with restaurants right nearby and a convenience store right across the street. The beach access is very very close and an easy walk! Everything about our trip was great! Chris was a great host and everything was clean and we had everything we needed. This house was awesome!

We loved our stay, the house is beautiful! Perfect location, super easy walk to the beach and so close to surf city shops and restaurants! Chris couldn't have been more helpful and responsive. If I could rate our experience 10 out of 5 I would. Thank you so much! We will be returning!

We loved Otter Oasis for the close proximity to the beach. The front deck offered beautiful ocean views, while the back decks overlooked the Intracoastal Waterway, making it a perfect spot for relaxing and birdwatching. The fenced area for dogs was a great bonus and made it easy to unwind. The house had everything we needed for cooking, every bedroom has a full bathroom and the beds were very comfortable. On two of the evenings, we enjoyed live music on the patio, featuring entertainment from the nearby world-famous Trailer Bar from 8–11 p.m. Overall, everyone had a wonderful time, and we truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for making Otter Oasis available to us to enjoy.

The ocean, a 4-minute walk from Otter Oasis

A quiet, scenic pocket of Surf City — a 4-minute walk to the beach with serene sound views, and live music some evenings from the locally loved Trailer Bar at the end of the street.

We're the Otter family — 4 kids and 4 grandkids mean we LOVE family. Otter Oasis was a dream for us that we wanted to share with you. Our Dad was a veteran of the Vietnam conflict, living his last chapters at our local NC State Veterans Home. It was always Dad's dream to own a vacation rental and eventually retire there. He didn't get to — so we're doing it now, for him, for us, and for you.
