The house location was great. Easy beach access and beautiful views. The home is older and has a decent amount of wear and tear throughout. The management company also supplies very limited amounts of necessary toiletries (toilet paper, dish washer pods, etc.).

Thank you so much for staying with us here at Salt & Sand Realty! We hope you had a wonderful time and made lifelong memories. Our team appreciates you sharing your positive experiences and bringing issues to our attention as well. Please come back to stay with us again on your next visit to Oak Island!
Great location and overall a nice stayWe spent a week at this beach house and really enjoyed the location — you’re literally just steps from the sand, which made the whole trip super convenient. The house itself was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for a relaxing week.The only real downside was the deck. Some of the railing sections were held together with zip ties, which didn’t feel safe, especially with kids. It’s something the owners definitely need to address.Aside from that, we had a good stay and loved how close we were to the beach.

Thank you, Salt and Sand Realty.
The listing was just as described. Everything from the booking process to check in to check out was a breeze. The property is in a great location and close to everything. Our first day there, we had an issue with the AC not working, and they responded immediately and had it fixed in no time at all!! Would most definitely book again.

We were looking for a place to hang at the beach after a family wedding in Holly Springs. We had never been to Oak Island before and we will be back. What we loved most about this house was the view of the ocean from the bedrooms, along with the decor. We spent a ton of time out on the deck, reading, relaxing and telling stories. So glad we picked this place!

the house and location are great. One mattress needs to be replaced upstairs and the rest were fine. Deck would be pretty hot in the summer being trex type decking. Every bedroom looks right out at the beach along with the downstairs family room. Great to be this close to the beach when it comes to going back and forth from the beach. Great House !!

Thank you for your feedback. We love hearing it. We are glad you had fun! We have several properties and we would love to host you in any of them!
Thanks, The Salt and Sand Team!
We enjoyed our stay and appreciated a well supplied kitchen for cooking. The check-in was frustrating. We arrived at 3:45 but were not allowed access until 4:00 exactly because the programmed door keypad will not allow entry until exactly 4 pm. This seems a bit extreme and I have never experienced this before with vacation rentals.

Thank you so much for the kind review. We are so glad that you enjoyed the house and the amenities in the kitchen. Regarding the door lock, if you arrive prior to check in time please call or text and we would be happy to release the door code early. It is set on a timer for safety reason. We hope you come back again soon!
The house is beautifully remodeled inside. Needs some updating on the exterior. The view is exactly as pictured, beautiful. It was fairly clean, nothing really major. The main living space is a little smaller than expected. We really appreciated that the stairs were all enclosed in the house. With that being said, I just had a heart attack in April and there were too many stairs for me. I couldn't imagine older people being able to navigate them safely. Overall wonderful house, bedrooms are good size. Would easily accommodate 10 people. Would be perfect for younger families! Close distance to most anything and everything!

We stayed on this property for a family vacation with 4 adults. The location is fabulous, right on the beach, with private access. There is a public parking lot next to the house, but it wasn't loud at all. The house is dog friendly.
The set up is great, with a master bedroom on the 2nd floor off the kitchen. There are 3 bedrooms on the 3rd level, 2 have their own bathroom. The bathrooms are a bit small. The kitchen had everything we need. We had to call the management company on a holiday about our internet going out, as 2 of us had to work. Michael, went out of his way to get it resolved. The management company also provided a voucher for beach rentals which was great. We got everything we needed.
There were a few negatives. The outdoor furniture was old and the umbrellas were not in working condition. The deck gets a lot of sun, so working umbrellas would have been great. The floors were also filthy. As soon as we got there, we could tell the floors were dirty, so I went out and got a Swiffer. The first pass was black. I scrubbed the floors 5 times. I think the cleaning service just runs a vacuum, which often doesn't get sand up, and doesn't mop the floors. You have to wear shoes or socks all of the time. We cleaned the floors daily.
I would stay there again, but always bring a Swiffer along.

Hi Sandra! Thank you for your feedback and am so glad you enjoyed your stay! I do apologize about the floors. Our cleaners would have been happy to go out and thoroughly clean them for you! Again, our apologies for this oversight on our end!
We thank you for choosing Salt and Sand Realty and look forward to hosting you again in paradise!
The house has beautiful views- easy access to the beach! We were disappointed that the dishwasher didn’t work especially over Thanksgiving as we had a ton of dishes to do…
But overall a nice vacation.
