Our Story

Our introduction to Oak Island, NC happened by accident really. Although one of us is a North Carolina native (the other hailing from outside of Atlanta), neither one of us had ever been to OKI until we landed here during the summer of 2015. A planned trip to the Outer Banks fell through when we waited too long to book a rental we’d been eying for some time via Airbnb. Scrambling with a week-long vacation rapidly approaching, we expanded our search and found a charming rental at OKI. The rest is history.

What made us fall madly in love with the island is its simplicity. There’s no rush, no frenzy. “Island time” really is a thing here. We’ve always been drawn to the water and in our work lives, we experience hectic schedules and a barrage of deadlines. Oak Island helps us slow down, enjoy the beauty that is coastal living and remember the important things.
