Anchors Down: Oceanfront Condo with Seasonal Pool Access

Pool was unusable because water was green. Unit was spacious for a 3 bedroom with plenty of seating. While the condo is oceanfront, there wasn’t a view of the surf from either the unit or the common pavilion.

The internet and TV was out we called three times, finally got limited TV on Saturday night and no internet. Person there to fix it as we were checking out.

Pros: good location, easy to get in and out of and also easy access to the beach. Newly remodeled with new appliances. Spacious and fairly comfortable. Kitchen was pretty well stocked and had most everything we needed. Parking is covered/underneath the condos. Keyless entry, easy check in and out. Cons: older condo units and still need a lot of work. The a/c stopped working one day and resulted in a very hot, sleepless night. It was repaired the next afternoon but no follow up from rental company (Oak Island Accommodations). Overall, the rental company seemed clueless about this property. The communication from them stated a parking pass may be required (it wasn’t) and that a pool pass was required. No pool pass is required, only a code for the gate. The floors are uneven. There is black mold on the air vents and shower curtains. The unit wasn’t very clean, a lot of dust, etc. There are no door mats and it was very hard to keep sand out of the condo. The pool closes at dusk and/or 8:30pm, which was surprising and a little disappointing. The HOA rules in the condo say beach equipment is to be stored outside/downstairs but there is no access to the outside storage (it’s locked and not available to renters), so you have to leave it out at your own risk or lock it in your vehicle.

Enjoyed our stay and location was very accessible to beach. Ceiling exhaust fan in the bathroom must be changed. It makes a terrible sound and lights flicker as well. Will rent this unit again in the future. Thank you!
