Quiet luxury

The location was perfect! It was almost like we had a private beach. The home was clean and cozy. This is a real hidden gem.

*** Awesome Beach House ***

This home was great and very accommodating to our needs. The kitchen was stocked with the necessities for any large meal desired. The rooms were great and the view was one in a million! You cannot beat this location for peace and serenity. I definitely recommend this vacation home!

Spring Break Getaway

Location, location, location!! The water views from this home are amazing. The bedroom sizes are very spacious and the multiple porches had ample seating. The kitchen is well stocked with lots of glasses, serving dishes, etc. The lack of pantry space in this size home was a challenge and a few of the external doors were tricky to lock. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Rental is actually through a Rental Management company. When reviewing VRBO listing, nowhere is it stated that you will be paying extra for a third party manager. I felt tricked. I sent questions to the VRBO owner that were never answered. I have rented dozens of VRBO houses and this was a first. House is great and so is location, views, and cleanliness. The kitchen is VERY well equipped for cooking.

This property was disappointing. Great layout and space with large rooms and multiple ensuites. The property is on the very end of the inlet, so you get ocean side and then inlet side, with tide pools, sea creatures, etc. Do note, this property faces public parking though, so it does get very busy on the inlet side (with boats as well). While this property is beachfront, path you see in the photos does not lead straight down to the beach. You have to walk a windy shared beach front path to the right of the property in front of another house to make your way down to the beach. You also cannot see your gear on the beach from the house due to the drop off. There was significant wear in this rental (peeling paint, smelly couches, visibly rusting and dirty HVAC returns), the carpet in this house is filthy. There are stains all over it and it feels disgusting under your feet. It is old and clearly filled with smelly mold and mildew. We all left this house feeling sick. Every evening there were numerous roaches scurrying across the floor and across tables. We emailed the rental company with issues when we first arrived. While the issues were addressed, they weren’t actually fixed. The exterior door handle that he “fixed” fell off again two hours after he left. The exterior door handle that he “fixed” fell off again hours after he left. The house also didn’t lock from one bedroom and he simply said “we know the locks don’t work we have a ticket in for that.”

Peaceful, rejuvenating

This home was just what our family needed. Plenty of space for 12 of us to spread out when we needed to to do, but apportioned so that we could gather for games, tv or meals. The porches and balconies topped off the beautiful but cozy indoors. Kitchen had everything we needed. Would stay again.

Beautiful property at a great location!

The property was just as advertised. A beautiful home for our family of 10 and a well-stocked kitchen! The property management company was very responsive to minor after hours inquiries on a holiday weekend. Would definitely recommend and have already booked another trip!

Ocean and bay - Perfect combination

The views from the many porches was exactly what I hoped they would be. Bay views and sunrise from the front porch and ocean and sunset from the back. The house was large and easily handled our group of 13. The back porch was a favorite evening spot to gather. The house is very well stocked with pots, pans, cupcake tins, plastic containers, silverware, dishes and glassware. The icemaker did not work but that was minor, ice is only a short drive away. We loved the ability to walk to the beach and to the bay to kayak/paddle board. The house is across from a public entrance to the bay, but that was not a problem at all and we enjoyed watching all the weekend visitors. I would recommend this property and stay again.

Great house

The house was very clean when we got there. Location was great. Could not get the ice maker to work but we used the ice trays that were there so not a big issue. The charcoal grill could use an upgrade. Didn't use it. No Keurig coffee maker. The driveway is tricky trying to get a big truck under the house. Just pointing these out just in case someone wanted to know. Overall had a great time there and the house was fully stocked about everything you could need. Beautiful home.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

The house is beautifully decorated yet homey and comfortable. It has lots of space to relax in, and a well stocked kitchen. The elevator was a God send for my ill mother and elderly aunt. The outdoor shower was fantastic for the kids to rinse off after the beach. Having a washer and dryer make it so convenient to go home with fewer damp and sandy clothes. We enjoyed playing Uno and putting together a large jigsaw puzzle, but we were bummed when it ended up missing two pieces lol. The beach was great...not crowded at all. Very few problems, and most of them minor; I hesitate to even mention them, because I'm not a nitpicky person, but I assume the owners and/or rental company want to know everything. First, one bath towel, one hand towel and one wash cloth per person is really not enough for a five night stay, but we made do (We brought beach towels). I'm sure I could have called and requested more, but I didn't. We had a small invasion of ants even though we kept the kitchen very clean, and saw some other bugs, too. It may be time for a fumigation. The wifi information was incomplete and incorrect on everything we looked at. The closest to accurate was a note on the dining area wall and we figured it out from there. For checkout, we were supposed to put all the towels and sheets into linen bags, but we were never able to locate the bags. I called the office on Wed. or Thur. and left a message, but no one called me back. The worst problem was not anything related to the house or the rental company. It was some of our neighbors; a large group of people that had a wedding on the beach on Mon. They partied pretty loudly late into the night on Sun., which was bad enough. Then on Mon., two of the women asked my husband to take down our beach canopy; I guess it was going to interfere with their view, or photos? He did it because he's a nice guy, but he didn't appreciate having his relaxation time interfered with. The worst part was Mon. night after the wedding. They had extremely loud karaoke, or a D.J. or something. It was SO loud. I hated to be THAT person, but after researching noise ordinances online, I called the Oak Island police and made a complaint about midnight. I fell asleep soon after (I can sleep through almost anything), but my aunt said they kept going until 2:00am. So I don't know if the police even responded. I'm not sure what, if anything could have prevented that issue, but otherwise it was a lovely, relaxing vacation.
