Great Vacation Rental!
We have been coming to OKI for several years and my family agreed this property was top of the list. Clean, well stocked kitchen, open floor plan with lots of space. The property is close to beach access, what more could you ask for. Would recommend to others and would love to rent this property again.

Peaceful marsh and wonderful location.
This property was absolutely lovely. The kitchen was well-equipped, there was an abundance of games for the rainy days, and the back deck looking over the marsh was one of my favorite places. Thank you so much for a lovely week.

Great house with lots of updates!
This is my second time here and the updates were so well executed! New updates in the kitchen AND an air fryer that's great for quick meals for the kids. Would definitely recommend this house to others!

Is as described!
I loved the check in by Vacasa upon arrival! The property was as described, spacious, clean, towels and linens as well as ample toilet paper, shampoo and kitchen utensils! The ONLY complaint is the location of the smoke detector. When the oven is on (without smoke) it screeches often and loudly. I don’t know the fire codes in NC but the placement couldn’t be in a worse location.

Oak Island Comfort
The home was very comfortable for our family of five. Very convenient as it was less than a five minute walk to the beach and about a mile from the grocery store and restaurants. Only complaint is that there were several lights out with no bulbs to replace and the dishwasher seems to be failing. The location and neighborhood still made this spot a 5 out of 5 for us!

Potential
This property had lots of potential - great layout and space, huge kitchen. But it needs some love. Furniture was not comfortable - huge sofas that you just sunk into. No chairs, except dining and one in main bedroom - and the cushion was nasty/stained. Rack in kitchen sink needed a good scrub - black stuff growing on it. Spots on carpet with a nasty spill by the bed. Bedspread needed laundering. Shower head was black with mildew. Back porch was covered with cobwebs and spiders - seating was a tattered old futon and a loveseat with faded/dirty cushions… and the screen was torn and tired. Front had only 2 Adirondack chairs. They did come clean off the back porch and also brought rocking chairs while we were there. House sleeps 6 but only 4 dinner plates in the kitchen. Lots of potential, but lots of love needed by owners and rental company. Great space but just not a comfortable house to relax in.

Long Beach home
Great location and nice open floor plan with a lg dining room table, 3 seats at the bar and lg livingroom with plenty of comfy couches/ love seats. The House needs more TLC - worn out blinds, worn and stained area rug, lg stains on the bedroom carpets. The master bedrm blinds were missing 6 vertical panels. I Don't know who is to blame for this Vacasa- mngt company or the owner.It is a beautiful home with 1.5 block, easy walk to the beach and it has the 2 decks. Restaurants are a short.drive. We rode our bikes to the Pepperoni Grill. No beach stuff -no chairs, toys, beach towels.

Mostly great house, customer service responses not good
Loved the house - clean, open, light, super cute, great for playing board games and making food. Bedrooms pretty well insulated from noise in the front of the house. Two nice porches, screened in porch on the back. Super great location, nice quiet neighborhood, lots of mature vegetation around, short walk to the beach. Fantastic outdoor shower - one of the highlights! However, queen size mattress was pure junk - so difficult for a couple to sleep on, single bed mattresses not much better. Dishwasher was broken (pieces missing that prevented the spray action from working as it should) - dishes with food stuck to them in the cabinets when we arrived, and pots and pans that were dirty/greasy when we arrived. Dryer left black streaks on two white shirts. We contacted customer service who were great at apologizing, but nothing was resolved during our stay. If these issues were addressed, we would definitely consider returning.

Misleading
Beach gear not included as listing stated, was advised that listing had not been updated. Fridge did not make ice and outdoor shower was missing shower head. However, house was very clean, great location. Just wish i would have kbown beach gear not included before arriving, as that is why i booked this house

Great location, close to everything but needs to invest in a few things
We enjoyed our stay but wasn’t a fan of the linen people showing up 2 days prior to our departure. I get it was for the next guest but can that not be done on the day of our departure? House was in a great location just a few blocks from the beach as well as close to everything which was convenient. But the master bedroom was absolutely terrible who sleeps on a rock??!!! The bed was sooo uncomfortable, there was no foam support honestly my husband and I debated on sleeping in the floor. Then of course the internet going in and out during our stay but what sucked worse is the fact we couldn’t access ANY tv on our last night due to the internet being out. Which was alil frustrating. We were also disappointed the house didn’t have a grill but the kitchen was fully stocked. The outside shower could use just regular pavement not little steps here and there due to one wrong step and you would hurt your foot or step on something uncomfortable. The garage was stocked full on sand toys and our girls enjoyed it but would have been great to enjoy a nice bike ride on the beach but one of bikes seats had rusted and you couldn’t adjust it to your level. We all enjoyed our stay and had a memorable family vacation. Great location and very convenient to everything.

Quick walk to the beach!
We loved the location and cleanliness of the house. Quiet and safe neighborhood with both quick walks (or bike rides) to beach access or quick trips to the grocery store. We loved having our family dinners at the big table and the outdoor shower was a great addition to rinsing off sand. I would recommend bringing your own towels if it’s a larger family. And bottom part of fridge freezes things so beware of that, but neither of these hindered our stay. Our stay was great and I would book again in the future!

Perfect for our Family!
We absolutely enjoyed this house! It was a perfect location, a very quiet neighborhood. We rented a golf cart and this made the location which is four rows back from the beach much more do able going to the beach with our things. The house was very clean, and beautiful! The bed in the master bedroom was extremely hard and uncomfortable. The kitchen sink wasn’t hooked to the hot water. But, honestly these two things would not stop us from renting this house again. We would definitely return!

Cute home
Cute home with spacious main living area, short walk to public beach access . Was very clean inside, though could use a little TLC on the screened porch. It was clear it had been recently renovated with new flooring throughout. The big disappointment was the kitchen, which was lacking in basic utensils like a spatula, bottle opener and knife to chop vegetables. The refrigerator was also not working right, with mani ice, water and it kept freezing out fruit in the drawers but drinks on the top shelf were warm. Also, no outdoor grill! It was clear the owner rents the house, doesn’t stay in it. Also, bring your towels from home. They provided a mixture of mismatched old towels.

No AC
The house it’s self was great. It was clean and comfy. On the 2nd evening the AC went out. We sent a text and someone was sent out on Monday noonish. It was raining so the technician said he could not add freon because of the rain. At this point it was 85 degrees in the house. The following day another technician came out but did not have the right equipment to check the AC. He returned and decided it was the coil. By this point it was late afternoon and it was 92 in the house. No human should have to stay in that heat. We called and complained every couple of hours starting on Monday and finally early evening on Tuesday they moved us to a new house which was fabulous. We should have been moved on the first day because of the heat. They did make it right but only after 9 phone calls.
