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.

Great location

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.

Relaxing and affordable beach stay

The property was perfect for our quick, Labor Day weekend beach stay. The house is a 5 minute walk to the beach. We were able to relax and enjoy a restful weekend away. We love Oak Island for the beach!

Great staycation

I needed to get out of my house for a couple of days to get a new roof and this little place was ideal. Enjoyed the shaded lot, the easy access to the beach and the beautiful sunsets. Great little house❤️

A cabin at the beach!

The property was exactly as described. The fenced on yard for dogs and sitting around the fire pit was just what we needed.

Beachy Vacation

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!

Great place but loud

This place is so close to the beach! It’s great for a girls trip. Two things one which the owner cannot help is the guy that lives next to this place has a projector screen and watches movies or music until 3:30 a.m. that is blaring!! If you had small kids it would be very hard for them to sleep. Secondly, it’s dog friendly, but no pets are allowed on furniture in case you have dogs that are not crate trained or used to being on furniture. Also when we first got there it smelled like muggy dogs! But overall it is cute close to the beach and one we opened it up the smell improved! We would go back esp if the neighbor was not there!!

Worked but wasn’t perfect

The lock box for the key is in an awkward spot where we had to remove some spider webs to access. More bugs in the house: master bedroom and bunk bed room had some dead bugs and spiders. Also the bunk bed room had a funky smell to it. Like sweaty smell.. house needed some tlc for sure but nothing surprising. Flooring is buckling up in the bathroom and there was a piece missing from one of the doors between a bedroom and bathroom so we hung a towel over it for privacy. all that being said, it suited what we needed it for just had to debug it a bit first and learn some of the quirks . I feel like it was about as expected for an affordable cabin/house rental.

Shameful

The property was totally run down. The window seals broken so windows are opaque and rusted shut. The fridge was filthy inside, cockroaches all over the place. Broken furniture. The rinse of station was a garden hose. I called the company and they said they would send an exterminator and a maintenance man. My first vacation in 10 years. I left the next day. Of course they say no refund for any reason so I have to wonder about Coastal Rentals as well. When I booked in January there weren't bad reviews, but these last two months there is nothing but complaints. Shame on all of you.

Christopher

This property had the absolute worst furniture in the living room!!! No one could sit on it without feeling like their backs were breaking! The cabin itself was nice but that furniture truly ruined what would have been a decent experience. It was fairly close to the beach easy to walk to if you can figure out when to cross one of the busiest roads I’ve ever seen. Also when we arrived there was no toilet paper they said we had to buy our own! First time I’ve ever seen that. we won’t be back. Unless the seating in the living area is changed. Im not kidding it was truly awful. Also the two bathrooms had no privacy as they had no locking doors and the doors weren’t even doors at all. They were louvered closet doors. This property has a lot of issues that need to be addressed.

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.

Good location

Property could use a few improvements (flooring was coming up in a couple places creating a tripping hazard), and the bathroom doors could use locks for privacy. On the plus side, the home was roomy, even with our group of 7, and was adequately stocked with cooking supplies, and games/reading materials. The fenced backyard was great for the children. Overall, it is a very nice vacation rental.
