Came for a bachelorette and the property was everything and more

We came for a long weekend with four families. Kids ranged from 1 to 9 years old and the house accommodated everyone very well. We were nervous about the short walk to the beach but it really is short. One black to the end of the road and two blocks up to the beach. The intersection is right at a beach access. All the kids made it without any problem. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to cook meals.

Great house for multiple families with kids. The kids especially enjoyed having the pool. We were skeptical about the short walk to the beach, but it really was a short walk. The house was clean and the kitchen well stocked. Enjoyed our stay very much.

This home was perfect for our extended family vacation. We had a party of 15 and this layout was great - 8 adults and 7 kids ages 2-16. There were enough bedrooms and baths for all 4 adult couples, the older kids had their own space, and some littles stayed with their parents. Pros: The home itself was very clean. There were plenty of children’s books a few board type games stored in the tv console. Decks in front and back made for great outdoor conversation areas. View of the marsh were beautiful 30 second drive to the beach or 3 min walk, very close but no views Beach was clean and not crowded, soft sand (not rocky) There’s a large grocery store about 15 mins from the house for essentials and groceries Cons: Pool is smaller than we expected. I’m avg height for a woman and could only swim about 3 full stokes before hitting the other end. Max 4-5 small kiddos but 2-3 adults for “hanging out” not so much swimming..the pool cleaning schedule is supposed to be Tues and Thurs but they only came out on Tues. the trash bin was completely full at check in, which wasn’t too bad since we checked in on Mon evening and pick up was on Wed. Recycling was also full at check in and was scheduled for pick up after our check out so it piled up a bit. Oak Island itself doesn’t have much going on...we drove 1hr 15 mins to Mrtyle beach for an arcade and bumper cars on a rainy day. Overall it was a great stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to your home. We were able to spend quality time with our entire family to celebrate Thanksgiving since we live in different parts of the country. The home was thoroughly stocked with all the equipment necessary for cooking and playing to entertain a family of 12. We were able to take long walks to the beach and play games outdoors. We often had to reset the Wi-Fi for some reason as it kept turning off on us. This was not a problem for some of us, but our millennials & X-Gens can't be without their internet access and did find that frustrating. Your home is beautiful and we hope to be able to return for a longer stay next time. Thank you.

Washer didn’t work, and was offered use of their Better Beach commercial laundry. Would have had to spend our own money and lose a day of vacation. Returned with week of dirty laundry for sixteen people! Offered $200 refund, not enough for what we paid! Felt like we got a lot of “lip service”.

We stayed at the house the first week in April. This is the second VRBO we have rented. The house is beautiful and well laid out for a large family. We had a great time, the house was clean and although linen and towels are provided the sheets are scratchy (we washed them a few times and added fabric softener, after we went to the store, which helped a little) and you will need to make the beds yourself. Both HVAC units broke on our 2nd day. We called the rental office and they sent out repair guys same day. Parts had to be ordered so the units could not be fixed. We had AC upstairs only and if we switched back to heat the units would shut off and we could not use them. The HVAC repairman told us not to bother calling if the units shut down because there was nothing else they could do without the parts. The last 2 days were cold and the temperature in the house was 63 degrees which was not very pleasant especially with 2 toddlers. The rental agency does not provide any information up front which was contrary to our experience with other rentals. I had to call to find out the check in procedure as my email inquiry went un-answered. You should be aware that no basic supplies are provided which would have been good to know up front since we traveled from Wisconsin that includes NO toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, hand soap or dishwasher soap. The trash cans had no bags in them so upon arrival an immediate trip to the grocery store was required so we could use the restrooms and trash cans. If you cook you may want to bring a cutting board and sharp knives, the cutting boards are tempered glass and the knives are horribly dull. The WiFi cut out several times during the week requiring us to restart and we never could figure out how to use the sound bar. Overall, the location is beautiful, the house is clean and has beautiful finishes. The rental agency could do a better job communicating up front on what is supplied and check in procedures. Yes, we would rent this house again and in the future we will inquire ahead of time on the particulars.

When we first arrived there were no towels. Pools weren’t cleaned. House is not ocean view despite the information. Air conditiong was not working so we did not have cool air for 3 days. The rental agents said they sent someone but obviously before i left it was not working. Pool was still dirty. Despite all the negative things about the house i enjoyed staying at oak island. Not because the house but because i enjoyed the time spent with my family. And yes i did let them know all of this yet they didn’t care.

Beautiful home. Too nice to share- but we're very glad they did!!! Easy access to the beach & the pool is perfect when the waves are too rough! We will definitely come back.

Excellent brand new property
