Top Oak Island Hotel Reviews

Private Heated Pool and Hot Tub, across the street from the ocean!

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the house everything we needed for a week. The pool was perfect all things we needed for the beach were there."

Ocean Crest Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. Staff was nice."

Captain's Cove Motel

8/10 Good

"We stayed here 6 years ago. We knew the rooms were cozy. We returned because of the proximity to the beach. Last time, the island had very few lights and the stars were amazing! I felt like you could reach out and touch the Milky Way. Now there are more houses and lights and so, fewer stars were visible than in my backyard. There is now a fee for parking if you want to bring a vehicle with a cooler or whatever to the beach. The beach is still beautiful, room is cute, but had a weird smell, and walls need repairs. There was no shampoo, and we had to request cups. We didn't have time for the pool, as it was on the news the bridge would close to move a house. I felt like $140 was overpriced. Room had a table with 2 chairs I didn't take a picture of."

The Beach House Motel & Suites

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and clean. The bed was comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great. Close walk to the beach, and a nice pool area."

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay at BB beach house. Exactly as described and perfect for our 4 adults & 4 kids. Kitchen was pretty stocked. Enough room but still the cutest beach house. Screened porch was clutch for the young kids we had to play, and hang out during the hot afternoons. Would absolutely stay here again!"

Anchor Inn Motel

8/10 Good

"Whe had a great stay at the hotel just a few issues. Walls are paper thin and the noise level at midnite was aggravating. My grandson got stung by a huge wasp in the room 3 times but we worked it out. Location and cleanliness was very refreshing and I calked and they let us check in early which was very nice. I'd stay again and refer people to the hotel."

Private Oceanfront Home! - Ocean View From Anywhere In The Home - Beach Gear - Sleeps 4

10/10 Excellent

"This house was wonderful! Came with everything we needed, and was an absolutely dreamy location. We traveled with our two small children- it was wonderful to be able to play with our kiddo on the beach and have a monitor surveilling our infant just inside. Just enough space for our little crew."

Oceanfront with HOT TUB & ELEVATOR. Views from every room!

10/10 Excellent

"Location is fantastic. Right on the beach with a short walk over the dune. The elevator was helpful for bringing in groceries and luggage. Elevator only goes to the main level. Bathrooms were nice and bedrooms were spacious. Outdoor shower was fantastic. Beach chairs and umbrellas were available at the house. Only thing we would have liked to have that we didn’t have was a grill. Otherwise, house had everything that we needed to enjoy our visit. Love Oak Island!"
