The home was very comfortable place to stay. The only down side would be the stairs but that is an issue most places. I would definitely recommend this destination to anyone who wants a short walk to the beach or a wonderful pool to relax in after the beach. Pet friendly was definitely a plus!

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

This property is amazing. It is at the quieter end of Oak Island and that was perfection for our annual family vacation. It has the best stocked kitchen I've ever seen in a rental. The property managers were quick to remedy the one small issue we had. I would stay here again in a second.

Perfect Beach House

The Salty Dawg was the perfect house for a beach vacation. Great location that is one block away from the beach, amazing pool, house is spacious and nicely decorated. The house has great decks for sitting out and comes with an assortment of beach chairs and toys. Awesome house. Thank you for letting us stay.

Fall Break

I rented this property for myself and my two dogs for a short break. The rental, check-in and check-out process went very smoothly; professional management service. The house does look "lived in" in several places, but overall it was clean and everything we needed was there. The house was great great for an offseason trip, very few people and the daily beach walks were great. It is a 45 minute ride into Wilmington, which we did several times during our stay. I enjoyed the stay and would recommend this rental.

Second floor bedroom covered with mold

Second floor of the house was not usable due to mold issue. Management's solution to addressing mold issue was to wipe off mold stains.
