House was nice, beds were comfortable, the view was great, and the close access to the beach was awesome. Only issues were the door to the master bath didn't close and there was only 1 accessible closet (the other 3 closets were locked for owner use only).

We went for a short anniversary weekend. It was just perfect. The location was great. Can’t beat oceanfront views. House was well equipped. Comfortable seating and bedroom sets. This is a cozy home! It’s on the smaller side so it would be best for a small family or just a couple staying in.

Views were just as pictured, sand dunes and beach, ocean for miles. Perfect to sit on deck and catch BOTH sunrise and sunset at this time of year (October). House was clean, laundry available although we didn't use it. They did say we left an ink mark on sofa which we can't explain, but whatever, stuff happens and I'm sure it's true. Only reason for 4 star vs 5 star was the toilet paper - give me the good stuff!

Great Two Weeks on Oak Island!

West End Gulls is an awesome place to spend some quiet and comfortable time at the beach. The location is very convenient with great ocean views from the house and deck. Easy beach access. The house is set up very well and has everything you need to enjoy your time at the beach! We will return!

A wonderful ocean front property which is perfect for a relaxing beach vacation! While the house doesn’t connect directly to the beach, it is a very brief walk to the dune cross over. I love this way because it really protects the dunes which are so vital for Oak Island. The deck is excellent for ocean and bird watching and sunrise and sunset! We also had butterflies and dragonflies! It was fantastic. Any problems that arose were quickly addressed by Dee. The beds were so comfortable and everything we needed was provided. The house was spotless! We will stay here again.

I loved the house, and the immediate proximity to the water. It was great to be able to walk off the deck and directly over the dune to the beach; I would definitely come back.

Beachfront, newly renovated house with well-stocked kitchen

Area was very quiet and right at the ocean. We enjoyed the comfortable furniture and mattresses and the well-stocked kitchen. Washer & dryer being under the house instead of in the house was the only downside. Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy!
