Great place
Our family had a wonderful time at Ruff Tide. The pool was so refreshing and we spent a lot of our time there. The property manager was very accommodating. The six seater golf cart was not going to be available so he found us another one to rent and then reimbursed us. This was definitely a great place.

Great stay!
Our family enjoyed our stay! The house is located in a quiet area of the island. We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the home. The addition of a golf cart helps with transportation around the island, especially to the beach. We plan to stay again soon, maybe in the warmer weather so we can use the pool!

My family and I truly enjoyed this RuffTide house. It had everything we needed for a family of teens and adults. Def had the space to sleep and get away to relax. The pool was really cold and had a ton of leaves in it but we still had a great time.

Great Stay! Would book again!
My family and I enjoyed this home it had all the amenities needed and then some. The pool was awesome and our family really enjoyed it. The 6 person golf cart was an added bonus and made our trips to the beach easy and convenient. The set up with the outdoor television and seating was also nice. The management was very responsive to any questions or needs. We would gladly rebook again the next time we are in Oak Island.

Beautiful vacation home
Our vacation home was beautiful. It was nice and clean. We loved the pool. It was so refreshing at the end of the day. The outside porch overlooking the pool was the best. I sat out there in the evenings. We watched the squirrels jumping from tree to tree. Also lots of woodpeckers it was at a perfect location. We took the golf cart to the beach. Also to a lot of the shops and ice cream shops. It was so easy to get around, instead of driving our van everywhere. This was our first time at oak island. We will most likely come back again. Thank you for allowing us to spend our family vacation in your beautiful beach house

Home Away From Home!!!
Starting with the check in process it was a breeze! The property manager answered the phone on the 2nd ring I think I was more in SHOCK than anything!! He was pleasant and answered any questions I had. James was a LIFE-SAVER!!! After 15 hours on the road we just wanted to relax. The house was AS DESCRIBED (NICE LAYOUT) we were pleasantly surprised with a greetings bag full of things. The stores weren't too far and the beach was RIGHT down the road! After you get past the stairs you will be good. The areas to sit outside were all BEAUTIFUL! THANKS FOR HOSTING MY CREW & I!

Perfect for a family
Booking and check-in was smooth and our first impression was a thrill! The house was new, clean, and modern. It had everything we needed, and the Publix is only a few miles down the main road. There were a few minor things not exactly as expected, but it was a quiet and perfect spot for a Thanksgiving family retreat.

Clean new home
Home was very clean and new. Property manager was prompt in answering our questions. location was a bit further than we would have liked, but not terrible. It took about 9 minutes via golf cart to get to the beach. kitchen was well stocked, but if you are coming bring your own containers for leftovers. we also brought our own large steam pot for a shrimp boil. closest grocery stores are Lowes and Publix, both are very nice. beach was nice. overall we had a nice stay.

Ruff Tide should be called Inlet Beauty
This house was absolutely beautiful. Upon arriving to the house we were greeted with a welcome gift. The house was the cleanest house we have ever stayed in. The booking was super easy and the property manager was very nice and very easy to get ahold of. Oak Island is a beautiful place with lots to do. We brought two small children with us. Both kids were exited to see a room just for them as well as excited that the owners took the time to stock the house with games and books for us to use during our stay. The golf cart that came with the rental was very new and ran very well. Our whole family of 5 could easily fit and ride comfortably. The outdoor grill and patio was definitely my husband’s favorite. I mean what man doesn’t love to grill while he watches TV. My favorite part of the house was the screened in back porch. At times you could hear the ocean as the waves crashes unto the shore. Definitely worth the stay. Can’t wait to come back.
