A great week with the whole family
We had a great time staying in the Poovey’s house on Oak Island. A great set up for three generations. There is a large master bedroom on the ground floor with an alarmed door to the pool area. Three bedrooms and a large bath on the second level with a very well setup kitchen and a dining area and family area. Then there is a separate two bedroom cottage. it is perfect for a couple of teenagers. It has a great second row location 4 houses from a beach access point and another 200 feet to the Ocean Crest Pier The best part of the house however particularly for the grandkids is the very good sized salt water pool. The kid spent more time in the pool then in the ocean. The pool and the pool area are very well done. A great family gathering space. The owners are great to work with. They are very responsive and helpful. We had a great week in their house.

Family gathering in Oak Island
The property was great and as described in the listing - we enjoyed the time with the family with the separate living spaces for the group. The pool was great and gave us a break from the beach while still entertaining the younger kids in our group. Communication with the owner was great and very much appreciated!

Great house with easy beach access and a pool
The main house and cottage were perfect for our group of 9. Easy walk to the beach and coming back to the heated pool everyday was wonderful. The house has 2 full refrigerators, one on the main floor and one near the pool area which was really beneficial. The ice makers were also a huge plus! We could hear and see the ocean from the front deck, and enjoyed the covered patio space around the pool during the day under the hot sun. There were so many good options that we could all enjoy. Communication from Patrick was great. We had a great time and highly recommend Flip Out, Flop Down!

Hi! Welcome to our home on Oak Island! We are a fun family of five with three active college kids and a furry friend too! Since we are dog lovers, we welcome your well behaved, non-chewing, house-trained dog, too.

Why they chose this property

One look at the charming 1960's cottage out in the backyard and we were all hooked. The nostalgia will take you right back to the family beach trips during your childhood, or even drum up some memories of summer camp! Flip Out Flop Down may not have the finest finishes, but it is clean, neat and well cared for. The location cannot be beat! Just steps to the Island Way Restaurant and Ocean Crest Pier. Only 11 miles to the charming town of Southport, NC where you can catch a ferry to Fort Fisher where they have a great aquarium for the kids.

What makes this property unique

Charter a deep sea fishing trip, or a jet ski for the day. If you like to take it easy, the west end of the island is a great place to find sand dollars and shells. The Oak Island Nature Center on NE 52th Street is a great place to take the kids as well as the Ocean Conservation Center.
