I read some of the earlier reviews about the condo smelling musty and the mattress being uncomfortable. I do not know if those two issues had been corrected or if I am just less aware then the earlier guests, but I did not notice either of those two conditions. The condo was quite comfortable and perfect for me. I also liked how it was centrally located with walking paths to golf courses, tennis courts and the marina. I would definitely stay there again.
Nice clean condo. Easy check in process and great location.
This unit is in bad need of an update. The manager was very friendly and the unit was supplied well with some amenities…coffee pods (4), shampoo and conditioner……appliances worked well…plenty of ice. But one of the most important items, the bed, was really pretty bad. The mattress badly needs to be replaced as well as the pillows. There were lots of them but they all were very badly sweat stained and uncomfortable. Invest in 4 or 5 My Pillows and some nice real cotton sheets along with a good mattress and it would have been very much better. There is a lock-out connected and we could hear every word of several phone calls made by the resident.
As a former Vrbo property manager of 3+ years with all 5 star reviews, I’d like to give this place a thorough review for everyone’s benefit. Pros- -St James Plantation is a gorgeous place. Getting in and out of this gated community was a breeze. My kids enjoyed the playground, and the drive to the beach club wasn’t bad at all. The beach club itself was a nice amenity- easy to find, easy to park, and super clean restrooms! -The condo itself was easy to find. Quiet, the person renting the lockout didn’t disturb us at all. The full kitchen and dining space was great for cooking for my family every day. Having a washer and dryer was a huge plus. -The hosts were very helpful and answered my questions in a timely fashion. Chuck made sure we knew how to get into the condo and checked on us via text. Very helpful! Cons- -The management company, Evolve, took weeks to respond to my questions, citing their “busy season” as the reason. I would have preferred to skip this sad excuse and communicate directly with the owner instead. -The kitchen lacked some basics- no sugar provided with the coffee items. No dishwasher detergent provided, nor was it ever said I needed to bring my own. Very few dishes, none of which were kid friendly. The pots and pans were either gigantic or tiny. And the hot pad was about 4 square inches, almost too small to use without getting burnt. Obviously I’m being hyper critical! But these are things that could have been thought of. -The beds. The mattress on the pullout side was so old and worn out, you could feel every spring inside it. The king mattress was only a little better but super bouncy, uneven, and extremely uncomfortable. -The dining chairs were all broken in some manner, making it very challenging to use them. All that being said- it really was a great little condo and a great value. I’d probably rent it again and just bring my own floor mattresses to get some sleep!
Unit was on 3rd floor. Wish I was told this on the description as I have bad knees and was hard to walk up 3 flights. Otherwise all was great.
The condo was perfect for our small family. We enjoyed the nearby beaches and restaurants, and also cooked a few great meals in the condo! Will definitely stay again.
Chuck was very nice but the condo needs professional cleaning and updating very musty odor carpets and furniture need to be cleaned and deodorized. Pillows and linens need to be replaced. Full set of plates should be added. Also listing fails to mention 3rd floor unit with no elevator.
The owner's father helped us check in. It was very easy. Our stay was quite comfortable and everything in the condo worked well. We would definitely recommend it to others wanting to stay in the Oak Island area.
The condo is in a private community with tennis courts, pools, and a very nice park that has a boardwalk leading to the intracoastal waterway. Another benefit of staying there was access to the beach club which has private clean bathrooms and a nice pool right along the beach. The condo was very well stocked-we had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook daily meals. The beach chairs and pool noodles were a great addition. We enjoyed the balcony and the dining table (where we played games nightly). The only thing I would improve is the mattress on the pullout sofa bed. The owner said he has a mattress topper but we didn't receive that, so I'm guessing this is a one off situation. But the sofa mattress was very uncomfortable. Other then that, everything was great! I would love to come and stay again.
