Great stay at Bee’s Knees!
We loved staying at the Bee’s Knees! The house was perfect for our family of four. They had lots of kids books and games that kept my children occupied when we didn’t go to the beach. The golf cart was definitely a big hit as well which made our trips to the beach so easy. The hosts were extra helpful and responded to me right away with any questions I had. Next time we are in Oak Island we will definitely be staying there!

Restful Weekend
We had never been to Oak Island before so we had no idea of location to stay. We could not have picked a better spot. The proximity to beaches and restaurants and the ability to ride the golf cart pretty much everywhere we wanted to go was so nice. It was nice to have a private backyard space but still be so close to the beach. We brought our two dogs and they seemed to feel very comfortable as well. It is also the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. Couldn’t recommend booking more!

All thumbs up!
Beautifully furnished, well equipped, and ideally situated, The Bee's Knees was a great place to stay. We couldn't have asked for anything more. The private fenced yard was perfect for our furry companion and we enjoyed the easy walk to the beach and proximity to shops and restaurants. A+++

Fantastic Stay!
We had a great time at the Bee’s Knees. The hosts really have it buttoned up. The home was charming, clean, fully stocked and comfy. Our fur babies loved the fenced in back yard. The best part was tooling around the island in their golf cart. Great fun!! Mariah was the co-host and answered our texts promptly and super nice to work with. Thanks for sharing this property with us. We will be coming back.

Great for kids
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. Our kids loved all the games and toys that were there. They also loved riding the golf cart. The golf cart is a must, it makes getting around with kids so much easier. My wife loved the screened in porch. We definitely plan to come back another time.

Comfortable, Clean, and Fun
We really enjoyed staying at the Bee’s Knees. This place is just as the pictures show. The owners have thought of everything which makes your time at the beach so easy. The kitchen is fully stocked with what you need to cook just about anything. We thought the backyard area was beautiful and cozy. Driving the golf cart made Beach parking easy, and we appreciated the instructions and map of the golf cart route. Sometimes I hesitate to rent a dog friendly place sight unseen because they are not always clean. But the Bee’s Knees was nice and clean and did not disappoint! Thank you, Bill and Tawnya!

Our new favorite place!
If I could give this house more than 5 stars, I definitely would! This is absolutely the cutest beach house with plenty of room and it’s better than the pictures! The house was super clean, the beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, the back porch area was our favorite spot to hang out, and it was so easy and so much fun to explore Oak Island on the golf cart! The binder they made was full of instructions for anything and everything we could possibly need while we were there and it was so helpful! Bill and Tawnya literally thought of everything to make this house a home away from home! We can’t wait to come back!
