The Bessie B

Reviewed on 2024-10-15 by Brenda McCaslin , Hildebran , NC United States

We just returned from our family vacation at The Bessie B. We had a wonderful time & we all loved the BB. It was clean, cozy and well stocked. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t there. We loved having our coffee on the upper deck as we watched the sunrise every morning. The view was spectacular and the beach access was right off the lower deck! We are already planning our 2025 vacation there! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you!!

I’ve been visiting Oak Island my whole life and I finally brought some friends from Canada down to see the area. This home was perfect. Great location, clean, beautiful views, new appliances, everything you hope for. The owners were also incredibly accessible and accommodating in the search and booking process. Absolutely wonderful stay and hope to be back!!

Just returned from our second year in a row at this house! The owners have added even more special touches like brand new decks, panoramic windows, outdoor shower, and more. They really care about the little details! We love the direct beach access and the awesome furniture for lounging on the decks. Amazing views of sunrises and sunsets. Easy to get to shops and restaurants. Highly recommend!

We loved this house and everything it offered.. if I would change anything it would be to have an outdoor enclosed shower and I also think ceiling fans under the deck would be great!

The house was great otherwise. Loved the labels. The decor was very relaxing and soothing. Better lighting on the back stairs would be beneficial.Highly recommend the house and Better Beach Rental.The house is an inverted floor plan. I wasn't aware in making the reservation. My mistake. The description of this house and other houses could be more descriptive and less advertising. Floor plans in the gallery as some houses do, would be great.

Heaven!

We had the pleasure of staying at The Bessie B for over a month this spring.In a word it is heaven.Direct access to the beach mere steps from the house.Wonderful quiet location on the West side…close to Middleton and the bridge.My absolute favorite perks of the house are the large decks…one upper one lower..even a small one off the kitchen.Very nice deck furniture…upper deck is so fun to sit on and people watch/pelican and dolphin watch!The lower deck is perfect for getting out of the sun and read while you feel the breeze and listen to the waves.The owners are very responsive and easy to deal with.Carol Moore

We loved the place. It was the best appointed beach rental we have experienced. Lot's of kitchen gadgets and it was great to have a grill. We noticed afterwards that there was even charcoal there (we brought some and also left it behind for the next guy). Everything was very well thought out. We also loved that the ice maker had ice when we got there. Nothing better than a cold drink after a long drive! We will be back next year for sure.
