Top Oak Island Hotel Reviews

The Beach House Motel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room everything in good condition and repair"

West End, Oceanfront, Large Pool & Hot Tub, Elevator, Dog OK, Aug 22 to 31 open!

10/10 Excellent

"Bottom line this is a top-tier property in the Oak Island area. The home is beautifully decorated, very well cared for, and has many small details that enhance the stay. Beth is a very good, thorough and responsive host and I enjoyed working with her on this vacation."

4BR 2BA OCEANFRONT COTTAGE- Fish, Fun & Sun! Relax, Recharge, Repeat!- Book Now!

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Beautiful Breeze. The property is in an ideal beachfront location with limited shared beach access (1 house to the left). The kitchen had everything we needed to cook most of our meals. We also appreciated the care with which the owners decorated the interior—just enough of the coastal motif. Would highly recommend!"

Amazing 4 BR Oceanfront Home w Pool. Dog Friendly, Spectacular Views

10/10 Excellent

"Beach location was amazing - quiet residential west end where I could walk to the Point each morning for shelling. Pool is small but still great for the kids to have fun when they can’t be watched at the beach. Loved the covered deck to sit out of the sun and see and hear the beach. Two amenities need improvement: 1) there’s a retractable gate to block off the deck from the walkway, but you have to use bungee cords to hold it in place so it’s not convenient for coming and going and isn’t likely to hold up against a dog or toddler that wants to get out. 2) the beach umbrellas weren’t really usable — lots of wear and tear and they wouldn’t stay up with the winds. Otherwise, the house was as advertised. Check-in and check-out were easy, beds were comfortable."
