Where am I staying?

Over half stay on their boats for night. Bring screens for mosquitos, bug spray and improvise. If you are planning on staying in a room at either Totem Resort or Wiley Point Lodge or Oak Island, be sure to reserve early to avoid disappointment. Sunset Lodge on Oak Island has no one-night reservations however you can tent right on the front lawn. Bonnie Brae Resort, just around the corner from Sunset has accommodations.
