Fantastic!
This was a last minute beach trip for me, my wife, and our adult daughter. The home was perfect: clean, nicely decorated, near the ocean, and near (but not too close to) town. Much needed R&R. Our daughter requires a wheelchair for all mobility, so we especially appreciated the elevator and wide hallways. Would absolutely recommend!

Wonderful beach vacation
Out of the Blue was simply delightful for our beach vacation. The house was clean and bright and the location was excellent. We could see and hear the ocean and we could walk to the beach in less than a minute. It was amazing. The front deck was awesome for watching shrimp boats and waves, and it had a gate at the top of the stairs so our pet could be out there safely with no worries. The back deck is terrific too and leads to the fenced in yard - again our pet was completely safe. The elevator was really cool and so handy for bringing up luggage and groceries - we loved it. Oak Island has a laid back vibe that was perfect for us. Several groceries stores, gas stations, shops, restaurants etc. are right on the island and easy to get to. And there are no high-rise condos blocking views of this beautiful shore. Our host was quick to respond to questions - we had a small appliance give out the first week and the host had a replacement arrive within a couple of hours of notification - perfect! Our month-long stay went by too quickly but we certainly would consider returning again sometime.

Just about perfect
This is an excellent dog-friendly home. The elevator was excellent for our geriatric pup whose knees just won't let her go up and down stairs multiple times a day. The elevator was also terrific for hauling our things into the house.The location is minutes away from the beach and we could see the ocean from the front balcony. The front balcony has a gate at the top of the stairs, great for corralling dogs -even small dogs, as well as children. The 3 bedrooms are all good sizes, plenty of room to move around. The beds were comfortable. I liked the bedspreads so much (soft and a good weight) I ordered one for at home. This is an excellent home for a long stay, there is a ton of storage available. It is close to shopping and things to do. There's shopping as close as only 3 minutes away and a grocery about 5-10 minutes away. We found an excellent restaurant (my husband said the best crab cakes, second only to his mom's) and a mediocre pizza place. The kitchen is well supplied with everything we needed, even the right scoop for scooping poached eggs out of the pot. Only two things make this house less than perfect. 1. We don't own it and/or 2. We don't live in it.

Inexcusable
When my son got to the place, he discovered someone else was already staying there. Host had given us contact info for someone to call if we had issues. We promptly called and she informed us it was double booked. She did not seem at all upset and did not offer any suggestions for us. I spent time trying to find an alternate place to stay instead of having fun with my family. I called VRBO help line. They said there was no alternate place to stay. I had just called VRBO helpline this week. I was worried about the booking because my credit card had not been charged. The representative I spoke to said that everything was fine and it showed that booking had been confirmed and credit card was being processed. As a previous short term rental host myself, I find this situation inexcusable. I think I should be reimbursed for the travel insurance I purchased and compensated for my time and frustration-at least half of the booking fee. I will never book any property that this host owns nor will I ever use VRBO again. What’s more I will tell all my friends, neighbors, and family not to book with this host. Since I live here at Oak Island-that is a significant number of people. Very disappointed!!!

Needs updates in living room!
Had a wonderful short trip. Everything you need. Not to fancy or new but great! Wonderful VIEW! Outstanding location. Very short walk to the beach. We all slept like babies/beds are good. Outstanding shower in master bed room. Great outside living. Full size washer and dryer. Has a nice elevator!! The BIGGEST problem is the sofa and chair are worn 1000% out. Not just old but needs to be replaced!

One Of My Best Vacations
I absolutely loved the house and the location. We had the best time with a minute walk to the beach. Everything in the neighborhood was great with not a lot of commotion that you see at the beaches today. Easy driving and access. Felt safe walking. Nice and polite neighborhood. Even the construction crew building nearby were always polite. My daughter and I have already discussed coming back next year. My son and daughter loved the house setup. I would definitely recommend.

Great Getaway
Great location and house for 6. Thrilled with the elevator and ability to bring our pup. Beach is short walk and close enough to shopping and restaurants without being in the crowds. The porches are the star of the house with gated deck and fenced in yard. Definitely planning to return. Thanks Holly :)

Nice Property.
We stayed at this property July-16-23rd. Excellent beach access for a 2nd row home, literally cross the street and walk down three houses, 2 minutes max. Great fenced in back yard for our two senior dogs. Mix of sun and shade, which they loved. A/C and fans were great. Temps were in the mid 90's every day of our visit, but we never had to touch the thermostat. Very comfortable. Our only observation, not a criticism, is that the floor plan is very unique. Tons of storage space, way too much for a beach house. It seems that there's enough space for a 4th bedroom. I would think that adding a 4th bedroom would help with cash flow. But, just saying....It's not my property.

Great property
We came down to celebrate our friends wedding on the beach. We were all pleased with the ocean view from the front porch and beach access is a 1 minute walk both north and south of the house. The elevator was a huge hit with our older, larger dog. Due to its location, it's a bit inconvenient to restaurants/bars (5-7 minute drive). Overall, a fantastic property and highly recommend it to others.

Oak Island is our favorite beach. First time at this property, but hopefully, not our last. Went on this trip w/ a couple girlfriends & we had a blast! Hope to bring back the family in the future, including grandparents. The elevator is such a plus for unloading/loading luggage and for those w/ issues navigating steps. Highly recommend! Thanks for the experience!

Great property but…
I went with two friends for four nights of R and R. We had a great time. The house is beautiful. The elevator made unloading and loading much easier. The fenced in area was really nice for letting the dog out. All of the mattresses could use replacing. The guest bedrooms have nothing over the windows so there is no privacy or light blockage. The listing for the house said a gas card was included to help with fuel cost but that ended in August when the gas prices went down. As of this writing, the listing still shows a gas card is included. The televisions in the two guest rooms did not work and Spectrum couldn’t come out until the day we checked out. This mattered. Checkout instructions said to strip the beds and start a load of laundry but there was no laundry soap. Also no dish soap, dishwasher soap or kitchen trash bags. We brought these items so it was no big deal. This is purely informational for future guests. The return air filter in the back bedroom was clogged which caused a foul smell. We put the husband in the back bedroom because he didn’t mind the smell, no TV or the lack of window coverings. I didn’t report the smell or packed air filter because, frankly, I gave up complaining. This house could be perfect with only a couple of small changes… 1. Update the mattresses in all three bedrooms. 2. Window treatments in the guest bedrooms for usability and privacy. 3. Have operational TVs in the guest bedrooms. 4. Label the light switches. We couldn’t find a switch upstairs to turn on the lights downstairs so when we took the dog out we had to use a flashlight and turn on the lights after we got downstairs.

We’ve been going to OKI for 15 years, and usually stay for a week. We couldn’t swing that this year with everyone’s schedules and were lucky to find this property for Labor Day weekend. The house is very roomy - loved the layout, and the little office area as my husband and I both had some work to do. Everything was clean, kitchen well stocked for cooking meals. Location was perfect - beach access was just a couple houses down. Highly recommend!
