Clean home in a great location with a spacious backyard for your pups! Dish soap & sponge, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, paper towels, toilet paper, and trash bags were provided and were able to last my husband and I for the whole week we stayed. Home was cozy and was perfect for the two of us during our stay! Would definitely come back

Great but small

The house is super nice. But it’s small so if you have more than 2 people might not really be a good fit. Bring hand soap, trash bags, dish detergent, washing powder if planning on washing. They don’t provide anything extra.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 August 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us, Brooke. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the charm of the home! We understand that the size and the limited supplies may have been a bit challenging for your group, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your insights help us improve the experience for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and provide an even better stay.

Summer at the beach

We had a great stay at Salty Escape! The house was spacious and looked just like the pictures (new and clean). The location was great and we could walk with our three kids to the playground and splash pad as well as the beach. (Stores and restaurants also within walking distance). The kitchen was well equipped with cooking utensils and dishes so it was easy to cook meals at home and it was nice not to have to do the dishes after each meal (we were 5 people). We would definitely recommend this place and stay here again if on Oak Island.

The property was pretty good and convenient , but the beds were hard and pillows very thin so we didn’t sleep well. The shower was very nice. They want you to wash the dishes but provide no detergent or liquid. There were only large plastic cups, coffee mugs and wine glasses. Some smaller glasses would be good . The place was done well it just feels like corners were cut at the end
