Overall Great Vacation

This is our third visit to Oak Island. We love the area and the slow pace. This condo was a great location near The Point, very clean, nicely updated, kitchen had all the supplies, loved the balcony/tall chairs with a view, and an outdoor closet stocked with six beach chairs, an umbrella, and wagon. The beds were comfortable, too. We would have loved it more if there were televisions in the bedrooms for multi family use. We would have liked to have control of the thermostat. It was a digital Google type with remote access and I woke two nights to being overly hot to find the thermostat turned up. There are labels everywhere, some helpful, but many feeling like micro-managing. They have it posted asking it to stay set above 72 and that didn't fit with hot flashing, a four month old, and a daughter with migraines. Having to ask for approval for an additional fur baby, due to a sitter canceling last minute, our pet fee was doubled and we had already paid a damage fee into our bill in addition to pet fees. All total this was the most expensive rental we have had in 20 years of traveling.We left with no damage, all checklist items complete, and I swept multiple times through the week to lessen cleaning needs.

Close and Easy Walk to Beach Access

Lovely condo. The labels on drawers and cabinets made it easier to locate needs. This unit even has light switches and door lock directions labeled which was very helpful! Loved the foldable cart (located in outside closet) to assist with getting items to the beach and for getting belongings to our vehicle to pack up for going home.

Extremely clean.

Probably the cleanest vacation rental we’ve stayed in. My only suggestion might be to get a bigger water heater. We take really quick showers and always ran out of hot water. Small issue with thermostat being locked but owner responded quickly with a fix.
