We come to Oak Island every year for our family vacation. We tend to stay at different places each time for one reason or another. I think we will revisit this lovely house again next year! The house was super-clean and was stocked with all the essentials from toilet paper to paper towels, trash bags to dish detergent, and came with all the linens from sheets to plenty of towels. Wifi worked great and the large tv in the living room area was nice!! The AC kept us cool the entire trip (we've stayed at some homes where this was not the case). Plenty of room and a great deck on the back for dining or just sitting and enjoying the beautiful view. Oh...great communication from the host, too. Super-friendly! Thank your for a great stay in your lovely home!

Great access to beach but home had several issues that needs to be addressed
Location great-private oceanfront access to the beach. However listing is inaccurate. Several issues-should not have been available to rent. It was not recently renovated. Several soft spots in the flooring-not safe. Feels like you will fall thru. AC guys there when we arrived. Even though this was mentioned to us upon booking, it took them until 6:30pm to get done. Seemed they didn’t know what they were doing. Younger guys using foul language. In and out of the home constantly. Had to call what looked like a veteran/season worker to help get the install complete. Told us at arrival it would only be another 2 hours which ended up being over 4. After “completion” guy told us he was setting it on 67. The AC never worked or came on the entire 5 days. House sit at 76 degrees very stuffy/uncomfortable. This work should have been done prior to our arrival and not listed until it was complete. Strong odor in upstairs bedroom where they sprayed something. Upstairs bathroom was extremely dirty and not stocked with tp. Toilet sit broken. The floors throughout was dirty/gritty. Stove/oven dirty. House was not clean. Not enough towels/washcloths. All trash/recycle bins full when we arrived. Left sitting for awhile. We took 3 bins to curb ourselves yet we only had 4-5 bags total. Very dark as carport lights didn’t work. Balcony screen upstairs would not open, stuck. Security fencing broken. Outside shower latch rusted/brkn, would not stay shut. I cleaned everything before departing.

Wonderful beach week
We enjoyed our stay, and the house was great!
The door lock on the first day was our biggest challenge. It didn’t want to unlock, but we figured out what it wanted. It wants to be pulled toward you once the code is entered. After that it was smooth sailing.
We had to contact the host but the reply and correction was done quickly.
The area, people and places, were great. Two grocery stores within a 5 minute drive and some very good seafood restaurants.
The bbq grill was great, we used it twice. I took my crock pot with me, we like make head dinners and weren't sure if there would be one. There was, so no need to bring one from home if you're planning crockpot dinners. The kitchen had everything we needed.
The water pressure in the shower was perfect. The balcony was great to sit and watch the sunset. The online listing is correct, the stairs to the second floor are steep but doable.
We will be booking this again if its available for our annual beach week next year.

Old folks honeymoon
the photos made the house look in better condition than it actually was. I believe the house was built in 1979 so it has a good bit of wear & appeared to be a bit shopworn. The main TV in the front area did not work properly; The first floor toilet ran off & on due to what was probably a leak in the tank & the system automatically refilling the tank when necessary; The gate on the lower deck needed a couple of screws to keep the door locking mechanism secure (It appeared that a couple of screws were missing from a block of wood on the gate;) the screen door on the upper sliding glass doors was stuck, I could not get it to close; The lower sliding glass doors had no curtains, so at night with it dark outside & lights on in the inside it was like you were on display; The house is not for those adverse to stairs, It has the normal exterior stairs however the internal stairs from the bottom floor to the upper floor are steep & somewhat difficult to negotiate for anyone that has a problem climbing stairs, walking/balance issues, knee issues, etc; There were no traction mats for the tub or the shower that would have made it less likely for someone to slip & fall; the floors have some places that kind of sag; the appearance of the gas grill on the lower deck was not conducive to using it; we did use the charcoal grill in the yard; The price may reflect the overall condition, I don’t know. I’m not that familiar with prices on Oak Island. Overall, not bad but a little disappointing.

Disappointed in this rental
I would not rent here again. The owner was unresponsive to emails. The house feels disorganized, neglected, and needs repairs. There is no attention to detail. There is a view of the ocean but not the sand. Watching your people on the beach from the deck is not possible. There is no water hose to rinse off beach equipment or your feet. From the shower you have to cross the sand to reach the deck stairs, rendering the shower you just took useless. There are no blinds on the sliding glass door in the living room making the TV unwatchable during the day. It isn't a well-appointed kitchen lacking sauce pans and knives. There were 2 washcloths. A main floor bedroom had no remote a the other bedroom TV couldn’t be turned up loud enough to hear it. The upstairs balcony bedroom curtains don’t cover the door so you can’t block the morning sun while trying to sleep. The floor has a large soft spot by the chair in the corner and needs repair. The windows in the other bedroom don't seal well and were wet with condensation. The upstairs bath is super small with nowhere to leave your things. Two of the outside lights didn’t work. The towels were still in the dryer being dried when we got there. The game shelf was in disarray with puzzle pieces loose on the shelves. Things were thrown in the closet under the stairs adding to the feel of general disorganization and neglect. The house definitely needs attention as details matter. It felt disorganized, neglected, and in need of repairs.

Cute house, great location
This is a cute house for a small group. The location is nice and having the beach out back is perfect. Some features were starting to wear and could use some updating, as happens from over use from strangers, but nothing worth not staying here. We had a group of 6 and that was just right for not feeling overcrowded for us! I would recommend.

Location, location, location!
If you want to wake up to the most beautiful ocean view and relax with a quiet and close (steps away) beach access - THIS is your place! This was our first visit to Oak Island and we will be back! Finding places ON the beach and affordable that allows dogs is usually very hard. Our dogs LOVE the beach, so going without them isn’t an option for us. My 14 year old gets a spring in her step the moment her paws hit the sand. ♥️ This met every expectation we had for location and we are so glad we stayed. The property was clean and equipped with all linens, kitchen necessities and even chairs for the beach! We sat out on the deck for every meal we had at the beach house and enjoyed the beautiful view. When you don’t want to get dirty or sandy, but still want to feel like you are laying out on the beach, just step outside the sliding glass door and you feel like you’re laying right there on the beach. The outside shower was convenient for washing off and cleaning up the dogs before heading back in for the night. The hosts were very friendly and response times were great through check in.
Thank you for letting us enjoy this wonderful island and ocean view!

Beach Vibes
Lovely house with great beach vibes. I absolutely loved the color of this property both inside and out. I'd love to know the name of the color so I can paint one of my rooms with it. This house had everything you need to spend a week vacation in comfort. My only advise would be if you are older like me don't sleep on the top floor because those steps are steep. My only complaint is the sliding glass door is hard to open and close and the screen keep coming off track. Other than that I have no complaints. It's a very nice place to spend your vacation. Oh also the walk to the beach isn't far at all. Like down the steps, take a few steps to the left, and over the dunes, and you're there. We even caught a few fish and it wasn't crowded at all.

Great get away
We came to the beach for a Thanksgiving family get away. I specifically wanted a place on the beach with direct access to the beach. This place fit that exactly. It was clean, super cute, and has a great view upstairs and on main floor. Since I planned on cooking Thanksgiving meal there I asked in advance if they had specific pans, bowls etc in the kitchen and Jeri was super fast in responding. Needn't have worried, the kitchen is very well stocked with crock pot, blender, platters, 2 casserole dishes, mixing bowls, hand mixer, and the other basics you'd expect. All the furniture was comfortable and best of all we were able to bring our dog with us. He settled in very well too. Considering pets are allowed could not have asked for a cleaner house. I would definitely rent it again! Thank you Jeri, for sharing it with us.
