Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Theresa M. 4 Nov 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Location Three women stayed 10 days at the end of October 2024\. The location was excellent. The beach was just steps away from the house. The house had some updates and was comfortable. It was obvious that the house was heavily used through the summer month and more updates are needed. ##### Theresa M. Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Trisha M., Charlotte, NC 15 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway Lovely house on the beach! Pros: PERFECT location and views, beautiful porch, high ceilings, open concept floor plan, clean house. Cons: bathrooms are outdated, pots and pans are old and no longer nonstick, storage door downstairs was stuck, no hand soap. All in all would recommend and would love to go back! We had an amazing labor day weekend with friends on Oak Island! ##### Trisha M. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen S., Concord, NC 30 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Needs some love.... The location was exactly what we wanted but there were several things needing attention. Bathrooms outdated, beds very uncomfortable and noisy, dirty dishes, issues with stove, internet and fans. The porch needed serious attention with splintering boards and securing boards. Loved location but not worth the amount of money spent for vacation. ##### Karen S. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### C L. 4 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Can't recommend Was less than impressed with the overall up keep of this property. Weeds, run down, it needs a good buff and shine. Beds squeaked, shower upstairs not good, AC issue, kitchen needs to be edited and delete the cheap items. Porch furniture needs attention. Back door has a rather large gap, corrosion and paint looks like the big dog wants OUT scratches. Wouldn't stay here again until a full day of TLC was administered. ##### C L. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### John M. 27 May 2021 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in #### House on beach We arrived at check in time which was 4pm after driving 8 hours. Cleaners were still there had to wait outside for an hour before aloud to go inside. House still was dirty lots dog hair. House was on beach ans rooms where big lots tvs a plus. ##### John M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Dale W. 13 May 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Roach Rodeo The place is full of roaches, the master bedroom floor has a weak/damaged spot. ##### Dale W. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert W. 25 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway Ocean at the back door. Cozy living room/kitchen/dining downstairs. We stayed downstairs using master bed and bath. If it hadn't been during pandemic we would have called more family to stay upstairs in the other rooms (w/ another bathroom). Look on the left angle of the Oak Island pier webcam and that's where you'll be! ##### Robert W. ### 8/10 Good #### Carmen B. 21 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great views, no amenities. Had a great time staying in this house. I can’t say enough about how great the location is. The deck is a dream and the view is awesome. The common spaces were a little cramped with 10 adults, but if you’re willing to pull up a dining room chair to the living room, you’re good. But overall clean and nice. Also, this is definitely run by a rental company and not home owners. I was surprised by additional fees by the rental company that came AFTER I booked through VRBO. Wasn’t a big fan of that. All communication came through the rental company, not VRBO. I knocked off a star because the amenities are scarce. No paper towels, toilet paper, not even hand soap. Don’t count on finding shampoo in the shower or a hair dryer in the cabinet. And there were no extra sheets for the pull out couches. I suppose the rental company would provide sheets, but we didn’t realize it until we were ready to sleep. Overall, the stay was nice, but you’re literally only paying for a place to sleep and a view, nothing more. ##### Carmen B.
