Great Location and House- Watch the fees.....

House and location were great; just as described. Crab dock right on the water that we fished from and launched kayaks from every day. Short walk to the beach. House was good, spacious. There were several little things like cabinet doors, fridge doors, shower doors that were too long, backwards, weird lengths and were annoying, but nothing too terrible. Seems like a lot more thought could have been put into that kind of thing, but not a big deal. Fees: be aware this house is owned and operated by Oak Island Accommodations, and they are just using VRBO as a portal. This is not run by an individual homeowner, which is fine. However, all the extra fees are not fine. So just be aware you’re going to end up with the nightly rental, a VRBO fee, and all the OIA fees, so this house was expensive. We would probably stay here again, but there are better options for the money.

It was a beautiful home. Clean and nice to have a crab dock. Ice maker did not work. But they did have ice trays. Beds slept good and had nice quilts on them. Yard was not mowed and could use some blowing off under home. Views were beautiful and a nice shirt walk to beach.
