Perfect spot on the beach

We loved the warm, simple, nostalgic feeling of a Carolina beach house that this rental provided. The kitchen renovation was a nice feature. Bathrooms are small but nice amenities in the master bath. The access to the beach was the best part of our stay. Wish we could have stayed a few days longer and probably will the next time we're in the area. Rental was very well stocked. Only one small suggestion - the length of the code and the nuances of the door key pad made it very difficult to enter the house. The keypad kept malfunctioning. That in combination with the long code made it frustrating. But other than that our stay was wonderful.

Great property, horrible property manager

This property was wonderful, clean, modern kitchen, beachfront. Bathrooms were a bit dated, but no big issues there. The property manager, Vacasa could not have been less helpful. I tried calling a few times, and ended up waiting for 15 minutes before hanging up. Then, the AC went out and I called asking them to fix. It was 6pm, so they said they couldn’t do anything. It quickly became 80 degrees (would have been miserable with 2 young kids) so we cut our vacation short and left that night. There are after hours services to do this. As well, they did not refund anything from forcing us out of the property at 6pm instead of 10 am the following day. I love thé property, but will never use Vacasa again

The best place I ever stayed

I have been coming to Oak Island and Holden Beach for years now, and this is easily the loveliest place I'd stayed at. There were little things here and there that could be fixed, but all in all, the house was great beautiful, right on the beach, close to the grocery stores. Definitely a favorite.

Great Location

Great Location for Oak Island. Right on beach with great views of the ocean. Everything was clean. New sofa, dishes, glasses. Everything you should need for cooking. The grill needs to be cleaned desperately. Full of grease which ignites easily so be careful. Propane was empty for outdoor fire pit. Was told to refill it and was reimbursed. Beds could stand for an upgrade as well as bathrooms but was functional. TVs worked. We had a great time at the beach.
