14 Us: Oceanfront Home with Kayaks, Horseshoe Pit and More Close to Pier

Not a great experience. Walked in the house with much excitement about spending Thanksgiving with my family for a few days only to find that used and dirty sheets were still on the bed, dirty clothes left in rooms, and the stench of weed throughout the house. Later, there were cockroaches seen in the stairways, kitchen drawers, microwave, counter tops, walls, and bathroom. I reported this to Oak Island Accommodations and was told that pest control would be scheduled, but let’s just say I’m still waiting for them to show up. Part of our group left because of the house not being up to standards. A weed pipe was found in the garage later which proves the smell that was noted earlier. I’m very disappointed in this stay. Being from a local coastal area myself and was previously employed as a quality housekeeper inspector for many years, I am knowledgeable in what to expect in housekeeping and maintenance expectations. This wasn’t it. The house has its own issues. The house sways when others are walking upstairs, the master bedroom balcony outside door does not lock, the back door has a large gap under that would welcome any rodent in, the back porch walkway is not securely attached, and the sight of multiple bug and mouse traps is not an appealing nor welcoming sight to see. The positive…. The location is awesome, but that is about it.

Everything was fine except, there were only 2 rolls of toilet paper in the home. We had 4 adult men staying for 3 nights, seems there would have been more. Additionally, there was only 1 trash bag in the kitchen for the one garbage can. With 4 grown men staying 3 nights, hardly seemed adequate.

Our stay was overwhelmingly positive. Amazing view from the balcony and porches. Loved being so close to the water. The value of the rental was great considering the location and number of rooms/beds. There were many bonus items available that were greatly appreciated: The kids were happy to have access to beach toys including boogie boards. The adults made use of the many indoor fans, outdoor grill, umbrella anchor, and beach chairs. Also for our babies, there was a high chair, playpen, baby gate and small beach tent. The outdoor shower was very useful. There were a few things indoors that could've been better: We did spot a few roaches, couple of the adults complained of hard beds, the beach view from the living room was somewhat lacking due to furniture arrangement, upstairs shower was slightly clogged, and the outdoor trash can was full when we arrived. I would suggest for owners to provide a small bit of hand soap in the starter kit, as we did not think to bring this at first. The checkout instructions on the fridge were outdated and conflicted with emails we received, so we had to contact the rental company to get clarification on what to do with laundry. (Emails were correct) Could've also used a note about how to get in garage, took us a while to notice the keys. As stated in the beginning, our stay was overwhelmingly positive and we would stay again if given the chance.

Rental Team was very helpful

We really enjoyed our stay, we arrived and the kitchen sink was clogged, but after a call to the property manager they sent someone over to fix the sink. Otherwise, everything was great! We had plenty of space and the location was great, you can walk to two restaurants.

Great place, perfectly located on the beach near restaurants and lots of things to do.

Great access to the beach-wonderful view. This house is in need of a complete remodel.

This is a very cute house on the beach, although it is older and there are several issues that come with that. There were quite a few roaches in the home. However, when we called the rental company, they did get someone out THAT DAY to spray, which was very nice. The walkway to the beach is in need of some repair and while it was fine for younger people, I would feel very nervous having an older adult navigate that. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, just go in knowing that it is an older house that comes with the issues of one.
