Fun times!! The house was just as pictured. It was exceptionally clean, and well equipped. The pool was clean and maintained during our stay. They had a problem with the golf cart, but got it corrected, as promised. It was a fantastic trip. I would highly recommend Ruff Tide and itrip rentals.

What a wonderful vacation
5/5 stars
We had such a fine vacation. It was all due to the beautiful vacation home, Ruff Tide. We loved the house, loved the golf cart. We relaxed in the beautiful pool in the evenings. We also loved the screened in porch. It was perfect at night. So quiet. The whole neighborhood was quiet and a road that wasn’t traveled much. We utilized the golf cart for our beach trips, our shopping trips, and most of all, our ice cream trips. This was our first trip to Oak Island and it didn’t disappoint. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your perfect beach home

Great vacay spot
5/5 stars
The location and amenities at this home were great for teenagers and adults alike! We as a family enjoyed our stay. Although it would have been nice to have a heated pool because it was freezing cold water and tons of leaves in the pool! We still had a good family vacation.
