Great location, but house needs updates
We found the location to be great but were disappointed in the condition of the home and its upkeep, particularly for the price point.
The house has a great layout (particularly for two families) and great beach views from the two porches. The kitchen has ample space and basic tools for meal prep. The beds were very comfortable, and the TVs were nice and in good working order.
But… The stair treads leading to the top floor are warped and pose a fall hazard. The outdoor stairs and boardwalk are splintering. The entire house could use a fresh coat of paint. There were signs of leaking doors on the upper level and the tub was not caulked well, causing a small leak into the ceiling below.
Upon arrival, housekeeping had done the bare minimum and the outdoor trashcans were completely full.
The pool didn't seem very clean and by mid-week it was green and cloudy. A service person arrived to clear up the water but they didn’t vacuum the pool and the next day there were hundreds of bugs on the bottom. We had to ask someone come out again and this time they vacuumed the pool.
The grill had no propane and we were told it was up to us to provide it. This seems odd - particularly for the rental price.
Overall, we enjoyed being on Oak Island but would not choose this home again, particularly at this price point.
