I will start out by saying that I gave this listing 4 stars but reluctantly…firstly, the house is overpriced by a good 2-3,000 dollars a week. We received code to get in but when we arrived not only was the latch on the pool gate broken and hanging open, the pool was green and full of algae. The doors were also left unlocked. We immediately called Better Beach and the next morning a pool cleaner showed up but we had 5 very disappointed kids who couldn’t swim when we got there.The large couch in the living room needs to be replaced and, although there are 15 sleeping spots, there is only enough seating for 7-8 comfortably.There are tv’s in all the bedrooms but only 2 of them worked.The main floor bathroom to holder was broken.We had to call Better Beach when the air conditioner started leaking into the garage area.Be aware also that there is no elevator in this property.All in all we had a great vacation and made the best. The positives of this house are the location, the pool (once it was cleaned), the beach access, the kitchen, and the 2 wonderful balconies. I would not rent this property again, especially at this price. The owner needs to put some into it to get the price they are asking.

Great location, but house needs updates

We found the location to be great but were disappointed in the condition of the home and its upkeep, particularly for the price point. The house has a great layout (particularly for two families) and great beach views from the two porches. The kitchen has ample space and basic tools for meal prep. The beds were very comfortable, and the TVs were nice and in good working order. But… The stair treads leading to the top floor are warped and pose a fall hazard. The outdoor stairs and boardwalk are splintering. The entire house could use a fresh coat of paint. There were signs of leaking doors on the upper level and the tub was not caulked well, causing a small leak into the ceiling below. Upon arrival, housekeeping had done the bare minimum and the outdoor trashcans were completely full. The pool didn't seem very clean and by mid-week it was green and cloudy. A service person arrived to clear up the water but they didn’t vacuum the pool and the next day there were hundreds of bugs on the bottom. We had to ask someone come out again and this time they vacuumed the pool. The grill had no propane and we were told it was up to us to provide it. This seems odd - particularly for the rental price. Overall, we enjoyed being on Oak Island but would not choose this home again, particularly at this price point.

Michelle, We sincerely apologize for the issues you faced during your stay. Since your departure, the indoor stairs have been replaced and we have work orders in place to address the other issues. We apologize for your experience with the pool company as well. It can be disheartening to learn that you did not have the best experience with them, as we have to put trust in our vendors to execute their jobs correctly so that our guests can have a comfortable and clean stay in their vacation homes. Thank you for taking the time to provide our company feedback so that we may improve our services for future guests. Please reach out to our main office so we can try to further remedy these issues. Thank you, Better Beach Rentals

Great Place for Family Getaway

I'm going to drop a few items that keep this from a full 5 star rating but then want to focus on the many positives. Cons: - Stairs are warped and are a true safety issue. - Some boards on the private walk to beach are getting soft and in danger of splitting. This is not as urgent as the inside stairs, but will need addressing soon. - While listed as a "private master suite", there truly is not one. Both upstairs king ocean front "masters" share a connected bathroom. There is no private bath on the property. - While this is listed in VRBO, this is actually rented through Better Beach Rentals. This made things like pricing and the purchase of trip insurance confusing. Communication with BBR is not very smooth. They do communicate TO you, but getting answers FROM them can take time and patience. Pros: - Clean! This includes inside, the pool, decks, and everything else. - Well equipped kitchen. There is more than enough for foodies like us to enjoy cooking a meal. - Lots of good shared space for a family to gather. While this house is on the smaller side, there are also places to escape if needed. - Quiet and private. Yes, there are houses in view including a neighboring house that is very close, but this provides a quiet escape with just enough privacy for us to play some tunes on the deck or beach without feeling like we were disturbing everyone. - Location. Beach/Ocean from with pool. Also, Oak Island is a quiet place which is what we really wanted and needed. It is a short drive or walk to most everything you need. Unlike bustling beach towns like Panama City, Destin, and even Carolina/Kure Beach, getting around, in and out was very simple with little congestion. In general, the place does need some upgrades and has some outdated furniture and décor (pictures are accurate), but it appears that the owner is making steps in the right direction by updating all of the bathrooms and the kitchen. Fixtures seem to be newer as well. Other than the steps that we feel should be addressed immediately, a few upgrades would help put this house up to par with the price that it is asking. The grill should be replaced (common issue at most beach places), some additional deck furniture (especially on the deck on the walk to the beach), and some prettier landscaping around the pool, and a general clean-up in the parking area would go a long way. Overall, this was a great place and we would recommend it.
