Modern house with beautiful views of the beach. Pool is half under cover, which really came in handy on the days when it rained or when folks wanted to get out of the sun. Groceries and ice cream were within walking distance, which was great. Beach was wonderful and uncrowded. Easy drive to Southport. A couple of issues. Very limited seating provided on both the 3rd floor outdoor deck and the pool deck. There were some hard plastic egg like chairs, which looked neat but were very uncomfortable. Two small refrigerators and an ice maker were not working when we arrived. We let the rental office know and we were told they would keep us updated but we never heard back from them the entire week we were there. With no notification, a pressure washing crew showed up on our last day and cleaned the driveway and walls until 8pm, which was frustrating as we couldn’t pack the cars until after they left and the home wasn’t rented the next day so that would have been a much better day to schedule something like that.

Very Disappointing StayThis was our annual family vacation, and after spending hours researching, we chose Oak Island for our first NC beach trip and SandBox because it appeared to be the perfect home for our 10 adults and 4 children. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing.We paid for early check-in, only to arrive to a home that was 85 degrees inside with no working AC. The mini AC units were completely inadequate for a home this size. HVAC service did not arrive until around 5 p.m., determined there was an electrical issue, and an electrician was then needed. After that, we waited for HVAC to return. By 11 p.m., we still had no AC and ultimately had to sleep in unbearable heat. The HVAC technician finally arrived around 9:30 a.m. the next morning and even commented on how hot the house was. We were then told it would take another four hours to cool.The problems didn't stop there. The outdoor grill was filthy, heavily rusted, clogged with food buildup, and had trash—including beer cans—under and behind it. It was unusable. We also experienced several cleanliness and maintenance issues: sand and sticky floors, dirty tubs, rusty knives, dishes with dried food/coffee residue, a refrigerator that smelled strongly of fish, an extremely dirty oven, partially detached bedroom curtains, and stained pillows/cushions. Several bathrooms had little or no starter toilet paper.The home itself is beautiful and has great potential, but significant improvements are

Response from Sandbox: Modern Home with Pool, Spa, Elevator, Direct Beach Access on 14 October 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry that the home was uncomfortably hot on arrival and that the air-conditioning issue took so long to resolve. We understand how disruptive that was, especially for a family vacation, and apologize that you had to spend the night without working AC. Even though services were successfully restored less than 24 hours after we were alerted to the failure, we know this was a less-than-stellar start to your vacation. We also apologize for the condition of the grill and the cleanliness and maintenance issues you encountered. This is not the experience we want guests to have. We do show that you alerted our staff about the condition of the grill upon arrival and that we sent out a team to clean that up for you the next morning. Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention. We do not show that you reported the other cleanliness concerns to our staff during your stay, but we'll follow up with the team that was assigned to clean the property for your arrival about your report. We always encourage guests to report any issues within 24 hours as we are happy to send a new cleaning team out to rectify any shortcomings. As mentioned in all of our pre-arrival e-mails, while Oak Island Accommodations does provide a welcome bag that includes two rolls of toilet paper, a roll of paper towels and limited sample size cleaning items such as dish soap and laundry detergent, guests are resposible to provide all of their own paper products and toiletries during their stay. We hope that your family still enjoyed their time on the island and that you'll return for a future visit. Please reach out to our guest services department directly when planning your next stay and we are happy to go above and beyond to ensure a smoother experience on your next vacation.

The house was great. Plenty of room for all to hang out and visit. Having a second area on the pool level was great for the kids. The covered outdoor space on the main level was especially nice because it was shaded. Had been a little apprehensive about the length of the boardwalk to the beach but it was not a factor. Having access to a cart to haul stuff out was a bonus! The kids got a kick out of seeing an alligator (named him Kyle) and a deer. Kitchen had all the necessary equipment for a large group. Kids enjoyed the hot tub and the pool when they tired of the beach. Overall, a great week and hope to rent again next year.

Great house- frustrating check in!

The house was *terrific*…clean, new, and modern!!! Grocery store within easy walking distance. We were able to see alligators in the marshland (we were safe on the dock/walkway!) which was a highlight for my boys. However, it look us an hour to get into the house. We received no check in instructions and then called multiple times on an “emergency” line to try and get assistance from someone. Once we finally got someone, they were pleasant and helpful, but getting help was frustrating. Without the checkin headache, a perfect trip!

House was very well stocked and check in was easy. However it was not at all clean when we arrived. Food under the beds, dirty bath mats, area around pool not swept, trash cans outside absolutely full . We had nowhere to put out trash until the Tuesday pick up four days after we arrived. Management sent a cleaning crew over the day after we arrived. Trash was put out for collection 2 days after we arrived but not emptied until pick up day. 3 stars because of above problems. There definitely needs to be better oversight of cleaning etc as it really spoiled our first couple of days having to call re problems. The house itself was so beautiful with a magnificent view, but the state of cleaning etc and was unacceptable.
