We visited Oak Island right after Christmas for five days and chose this condo due to it's ocean view. We like this community and have stayed before. This condo was not only facing the beach, but close enough to hear the ocean waves when we opened the sliding door. The condo is a little dated, but clean and decorated nicely. One of the bedroom blinds had broken slats, but it didn't affect sleeping. The "master bathroom" shower is very small, but there's a shower/tub combo in the second bathroom which is great. Plenty of dishes, cookware and utensils for cooking! We would totally book this condo again and recommend it to friends and family. We had a wonderful post-Christmas visit to the island and enjoyed the uncrowded beaches AND condo community. Great time of year to visit!
