We Fell In Love With Oak Island

our story

The Close family fell in love with Oak Island the moment they first crossed the bridge and have been regular visitors for many years. They purchased a home with the goal of someday retiring at the beach and using the home as a vacation oasis for others to enjoy until then. After a short time managing their home from out of state, Rob and Lindsay knew their heart belonged in Oak Island and they developed a strong passion for the area vacation rental market.

Meet The Team

Rob, Lindsay, and their 3 young boys moved to North Carolina to follow their dreams with a goal to provide a level of service that is unmatched in the industry. Through their own management experiences, endless hours of industry (and local OKI) research, discussions with local residents and business owners, and many multiple interactions with industry experts around the US, The Close’s developed a recipe that provides excellence in guest experience while still embracing the charm of Oak Island’s traditional family friendly vacation atmosphere that they fell in love with.
