This condo was one of the worst places I have ever stayed. We have been traveling to Oak Island for years, and have stayed in a multitude of condos within the complex. The photos shared in the listing for this condo are inaccurate and misleading. The host was not helpful in trying to rectify the situation upon our arrival, and also tried to gaslight us into believing that the condo had been cleaned, and that “it’s one of the best condos in oak island”. The only “kudos” I can give to the owner was that they did allow us to check in early, for free, to the condo. However, it was useless as we had to vacate the property for the cleaning crew to come through (we were told again) to actually clean the property. Upon arrival, we found mud/dirty footprints in bathrooms, toothpaste all over the faucets in the bathrooms, dirty toilets & showers, previous tenants used and dirty towels hanging in bedrooms and in bathrooms, trash in the bathrooms, crumbs all over surfaces in the kitchen, dirty kitchen appliances, dirty laundry machines, missing lightbulbs from light fixtures, broken blinds and closet doors, items left in the fridge from previous tenants, as well as a moldy/dirty & stained shower curtain and liner. The linens were so foul and disgusting that we could not use them at all, and asked the cleaning crew to remove them when they came back to clean. The “soft” surfaces/furniture in this condo were so gross that I never even sat on the couch/chairs once. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Good - > Access to the beach was close, less than a 50 yrd walk. > Property area seemed secure. > Condo bed rooms had adequate closet space and a large refrigerator. > Didn't seem like the beach was overly crowded for a holiday week. > Thought the condo complex was quiet. > Front porch area had adequate space to store beach equipment. Close line on back porch area had a retractable clothes line to hang wet swimsuits. > Swimming pool Bad - > Information for check in was lacking. No information was given that I required a parking pass displayed in my car. Someone from the property management office placed a warning notice on our car that it would be towed unless we displayed a parking permit. > The Couch bed was broken at the head making it dip down. Had to prop up with cushions. It did not have proper fitting sheets. Its a full size mattress and had a twin sheet on top. No blanket or comforter. When the property description mentions it will sleep 9 comfortably. We made it work but it was lacking. > No mention that an e-card was needed to access the swimming pool. The parking and pool card information should be in the check in information. > Kitchen only had 1 towel, it needed more when you do a lot of cooking for the week. > There was not enough bath towels left by the service provider who supplied the linens.

Everything was great except for the fact we needed parking passes as the property management company was scoping the lot for cars without them. We received a notice on our cars stating that they were at risk of being towed. I had contacted the host regarding this and never heard back.

The space was perfect for our visit. It was nice to have 2 king size beds & 2 bathrooms. The view was nice and the seating was adequate. The kitchen was small, but we were only having a light breakfast there. I thought it was a good value.

Very comfortable. Is accurate as stated. Owner was gracious enough to allow us a later check out.

We stay at Oak Island several times each year. The view from the condo was fantastic, although we did feel the condo was pretty bare bones. There were no drawers to unpack clothing in the bedrooms only closets to hang items. No selves in the bathroom to put out toiletries. Showers never got hot, stayed lukewarm. With all of that being said we were together as a family and that’s what this trip was about. We didn't need a lot of extras we made it work.

We arrived confused thinking that our property was oceanfront. That was not really the case, we were more in the middle of a parking lot at least facing the ocean. We also thought that our room was very close to the pool but it was about 80 yards away, not really in the path to the beach. This could all be poor research on pictures on our part but this was what we thought based on the pictures and info for the property on VRBO. We went into the villa and it is pretty crammed in the main living/kitchen area having 4 adults and 3 children. There definitely were not enough seats to seat the amount of people the villa would sleep. The bedroom off to the right looked to have had a very recent sheetrock repair in the ceiling leaving "mud" on the floor and throw pillows. We then pulled back the bedding to find it rough and full of sand, enough sand that we unmade the bed and shook the sheets out. We had to purchase our own toilet paper since there wasn't any in the bathrooms to even get our stay started. Past reviewers are right, very dinged up over all. I can understand the past great reviews since the property packet you get via email before your stay will tell you how to earn credit if you leave a 5 star review.

Absolutely perfect location. Super close to the beach which is perfect for the kids. Plenty of space for 7 people staying. Owners were responsive when I had questions or concerns and they got us into the unit earlier than expected, which we appreciated. There are a few areas that need improved which would make this unit better. 1)Beautiful flooring throughout the condo, however, our feet were black the entire stay. We know sand and dirt get tracked in and swept as much as possible. This may need addressed by whomever is responsible for cleaning the floors after each stay. 2)Beds were comfortable in all but the master bedroom. Upon arrival and the first night we found out that there were slats missing/broken as well as the bed frame was bent in the master room which made it very uncomfortable. During our stay a new bed was delivered which makes me believe this was a known issue to which we were never notified about. 3)Also in the master bathroom, the shower door would continuously crept open so whoever was showering would have to close it to ensure water didn’t get out. 4)There are no dressers! I don’t know how you have a rental without dressers but it was complete chaos with 4 adults and 3 kids trying to find clothes and keep them organized. 5)The porch has amazing views however you can’t see them in the short unstable plastic table and short metal chairs. Most of the units have the tall tables and chairs so you can enjoy the views.
