Oak Island Beach Abode w/ Deck: Walk to Shore!

Very basic amenities. Only 1 TV in the entire home. No ceiling or tower fans. Mattresses on beds were not adequate. Internal blind in a bedroom door would not fully close. Home is in a good location. Easy check-in.

Overall had a pretty good experience at this stay! The location is great, being right across from the public access and not far from restaurants and Publix (about 10 min). Pleased that towels and sheets were provided but make sure to bring your own comforters and blankets. At check in we had some issues with our codes to get in but that got sorted out fairly quickly. There was plenty of silverware and dishes as well as other small appliances like a toaster and coffee pot. The house was a little hot at night because the thermostat kept going back to a preset temp and there’s no fans in the rooms so if you get hot I would suggest bringing a fan with you but overall this was a great spot for our family of 5!

We had a wonderful time at this property. It was very clean and check in was a breeze. Communication with the host was quick and friendly. They even texted to tell me it was ready early. The AC on very hot days worked great, the WIFI was speedy, and the beds were comfortable. Access to the beach was across the street! One surprise was that there was no dishwasher. (It was not in the listing, I made the mistake of assuming it would be there.) While it was manageable for 4 people, 6-8 might have made keeping up with the dishes more burdensome. The front porch was right in the afternoon sun, so not very appealing in the heat. The place could use a bit of updating, and the interior was sparse, but it was very comfortable. A perfect place for our long weekend.

The house could use a few updates such as darkening curtains in the bedrooms, better pillows (way too flat). Ceiling fans are a must especially in the bedrooms. The location which is right across the street from the beach access is great.

This house was great for us! We had 3 kids ages 4 and under and 4 adults. There was plenty of room. The beach access is right across the street! We loved spending time on the front deck and enjoying the ocean view. The property manager was great to work with. He was able to get us an early check-in and late check-out. AND we thought we had left something behind and he was good enough to double check the house for us. Great customer service!The one thing I would note that I didn't notice in the listing is there is no dishwasher. We would stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The location was exceptional, offering convenient access to the beach, which was a highlight of our trip. The listing and photos accurately represented the property. However, I would suggest some interior updates, as certain elements, such as the blinds, were damaged, and the furniture appeared dated. Additionally, improved sound insulation and a thorough deep clean would enhance the overall experience. For those seeking a comfortable place to stay while spending most of their time at the beach, I would certainly recommend this property.

Beds were so comfy, easy entry into the house and wonderfully setup! Quick access to the beach made this vacation incredible! With small kids we could run back for anything we needed within a minute or two! Communication with the owner was great! Zero complaints! We will 100% be back!

Other than lack of TP and paper towels, I’d totally go back. The house is open and very comfy. The bed I slept in was amazing. Back bedroom, right hand side. What kind of mattress or topper is that?? We had a great time. Great location in reference to the beach.

Myself, 2 sisters and a friend stayed at The Shellington for a few days this week and it was lovely. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. It had a basic open layout of kitchen/dining/living area with a hall running through the middle. There were two bedrooms and a bath on each side. It was perfect for us! We could see the ocean from the deck and the beach access was just across the street to the left. A short walk. We will definitely remember this place and go there again. And Sebastian was a phone call away. The keypad didn't work the first time we tried it, so I called and he reset it. We got right in and he was very accommodating. We had a great time!

The house was great and very close to the beach! It worked well for our family! The only thought is that the kitchen be equipped with more utensils and dishtowels. Thanks!
