Wonderful beach vacation

Out of the Blue was simply delightful for our beach vacation. The house was clean and bright and the location was excellent. We could see and hear the ocean and we could walk to the beach in less than a minute. It was amazing. The front deck was awesome for watching shrimp boats and waves, and it had a gate at the top of the stairs so our pet could be out there safely with no worries. The back deck is terrific too and leads to the fenced in yard - again our pet was completely safe. The elevator was really cool and so handy for bringing up luggage and groceries - we loved it. Oak Island has a laid back vibe that was perfect for us. Several groceries stores, gas stations, shops, restaurants etc. are right on the island and easy to get to. And there are no high-rise condos blocking views of this beautiful shore. Our host was quick to respond to questions - we had a small appliance give out the first week and the host had a replacement arrive within a couple of hours of notification - perfect! Our month-long stay went by too quickly but we certainly would consider returning again sometime.

Just about perfect

This is an excellent dog-friendly home. The elevator was excellent for our geriatric pup whose knees just won't let her go up and down stairs multiple times a day. The elevator was also terrific for hauling our things into the house.The location is minutes away from the beach and we could see the ocean from the front balcony. The front balcony has a gate at the top of the stairs, great for corralling dogs -even small dogs, as well as children. The 3 bedrooms are all good sizes, plenty of room to move around. The beds were comfortable. I liked the bedspreads so much (soft and a good weight) I ordered one for at home. This is an excellent home for a long stay, there is a ton of storage available. It is close to shopping and things to do. There's shopping as close as only 3 minutes away and a grocery about 5-10 minutes away. We found an excellent restaurant (my husband said the best crab cakes, second only to his mom's) and a mediocre pizza place. The kitchen is well supplied with everything we needed, even the right scoop for scooping poached eggs out of the pot. Only two things make this house less than perfect. 1. We don't own it and/or 2. We don't live in it.

Inexcusable

When my son got to the place, he discovered someone else was already staying there. Host had given us contact info for someone to call if we had issues. We promptly called and she informed us it was double booked. She did not seem at all upset and did not offer any suggestions for us. I spent time trying to find an alternate place to stay instead of having fun with my family. I called VRBO help line. They said there was no alternate place to stay. I had just called VRBO helpline this week. I was worried about the booking because my credit card had not been charged. The representative I spoke to said that everything was fine and it showed that booking had been confirmed and credit card was being processed. As a previous short term rental host myself, I find this situation inexcusable. I think I should be reimbursed for the travel insurance I purchased and compensated for my time and frustration-at least half of the booking fee. I will never book any property that this host owns nor will I ever use VRBO again. What’s more I will tell all my friends, neighbors, and family not to book with this host. Since I live here at Oak Island-that is a significant number of people. Very disappointed!!!

Needs updates in living room!

Had a wonderful short trip. Everything you need. Not to fancy or new but great! Wonderful VIEW! Outstanding location. Very short walk to the beach. We all slept like babies/beds are good. Outstanding shower in master bed room. Great outside living. Full size washer and dryer. Has a nice elevator!! The BIGGEST problem is the sofa and chair are worn 1000% out. Not just old but needs to be replaced!
