The trifecta!

The price, location and vibe (teenagers added that) made for the perfect stay. The proximity to the beach was fantastic! We struggled with the hot water supply a bit, but would absolutely rent again!

Great Beach Cottage

This was a comfortable stay for our family (me, spouse, two teens, and our dog). There was plenty of room, beds were comfortable, yard was spacious, and it was a short walk to the beach. We hope to be staying again soon.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Was greeted by no less than 10 mosquito bites between the car and the house. Had to dodge leaning trees to get up the driveway (careful if you have SUV or truck). Back door was swollen and stuck so I had to body check it to get it open. Greeted by dead palmetto bug in the bedroom. Allegedly there was a cleaner that came day-of but i saw no evidence of this. Cobwebs and fuzz in the walls, grease on the cabinet behind the stove (that you see sitting in the dining room). At night the yard and porch were overrun with palmetto bugs to the point of not being able to go out (they fly!). The 1st night I fell asleep with the baby. The 2nd night my mom had come to surprise us and saw 2 palmetto bugs *alive* in the house. We decided to cancel plans to go to the aquarium the next day and leave instead of staying til Mon. Linens smelled like at least the quilt don't get washed regularly. Check out instructions include taking out garbage, cleaning yard after pets, loading dishwasher, etc despite there, allegedly, being a cleaner coming at 10am (check out time). Emailed host and got "I'm sorry you feel that way" and "I was there last week and cleaned". I asked for a refund (for night 2 and 3 since we would have left night 2 if not for the bugs on the railings that i was afraid would go into our bags) and that has not been addressed.

Great Home to stay at

My family has vacationed on OKI for generations, and this was a first time staying this close to the Old Bridge. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and found it easy to get to the beach as it is just across the street. We would recommend this home to our other family members, friends, and neighbors.

Very easy walk to the beach. The house was like sleeping in a mountain cabin but at the beach. I don’t have small kids, but I was very impressed with the bunk room. One whole wall is a chalkboard.

Overall stay was great! Very clean and loved the yard for the dogs with outside hose to wash off from a day at the beach. The A/C had a little bit of a hard time cooling on the hot day, but overall experience was 5/5 stars.

Great spot in well loved home

So first, we went down to this property right after a megastore had passed through washing out roads and homes in the area. The property owner called us and let us know that the property was fine and gave suggestions for making the most out of our trip down and gave us suggestions for how to get onto the island and enjoy ourselves which was greatly appreciated. When we got down there we had an issue that the property owner quickly helped us through. Overall, we had a short but great time at the property. I would suggest this home to others who want to stay at oak island!

Wonderful!

The house and location were perfect for 2 families which included 4 small kids. The rooms were spacious and the bunk room was perfect for the toddlers. The screened in porch was ideal to play outside without the burden of mosquitos (there were lots!), it also stayed cool on the hot days because of the shade from the trees. We would definitely recommend if you have small kids, we would stay again!
