I wish I could rate the property management team (iTrip) separately from the property. We had LOTS of issues on arrival. The interior reeked of cigarette smoke and there was sand and cat hair everywhere. Management responded quickly and sent a cleaning team over immediately. Donna was amazing and brought air filtration units as well as did another pass on cleaning. This property is old, but we knew that from the online listing images. But what's not pictured, are the window units trying to supplement a broken HVAC. It didn't take long before temps rose to about 78º inside making it difficult to sleep. Again, management responded quickly and maintenance was there within an hour or two (Josh was also awesome!). They even brought an additional window unit for the second bedroom. It's not all negative. This property is in a great location, right behind the dunes and a short bike ride to lots of shops and restaurants. The fenced in area below was perfect for our dogs. It's unfortunate that this quaint older home with so much character is literally falling apart from neglect. The wind kept blowing one of the windows literally out of the frame almost nightly. The dishes are so old and worn you can't tell if they're dirty or stained. The HVAC could never keep up so while it was certainly better than outside, it was warm, and the humidity made the bedding feel damp. This place needs quite a lot of work and not just bandaids. I would rent from iTrip again, but avoid this property.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We appreciate your recognition of our team and are glad Donna and Josh were able to respond quickly to the concerns you experienced during your stay.
The HVAC system did experience an unexpected issue during your visit, and we worked to restore cooling as quickly as possible while providing additional window units to improve comfort in the meantime. We also appreciate you bringing the cleanliness and maintenance concerns to our attention so they could be addressed during your stay.
Your comments regarding the home's condition have been shared with the homeowner for review. We appreciate your honest feedback and are grateful for your kind words about our team. Thank you for choosing to stay with us.

The Ocean Rose
I've stayed in Oak Island many times throughout my life, most times through other rental agencies. While all stays have been decent, none have compared to the quality of my most recent stay with the rental through iTrip. The house was very well taken care of, clean, and accommodating. Would/will 100% go through iTrip again when vacationing at Oak Island!

Thank you, Nicholas for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that your stay at The Ocean Rose exceeded your expectations and that you found the property well-maintained, clean, and accommodating. We look forward to welcoming you back to Oak Island for another fantastic vacation with iTrip!
We really enjoyed our stay at the ocean rose. We absolutely would want to stay here again. The only thing I think should be noted in the listing that wasn’t, is that there is no access to the fenced lower area from inside the home. It was not a big deal for us but may be for someone else. The location was perfect and convenient. And the size of the home was great for us.

Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay anytime!
House was very clean. Could use some updating especially the AC. Temperature in the house would not get below 77. Very convenient to everything. It was nice being so close to the beach access. We had a very nice vacation. Nice that it was pet friendly. Could also use some landscaping maintenance.

Thank you for your review and feedback Pamela! We are working on the AC unit. Often times when the porch door is open (even though it is insulated and has AC) it causes the temperature in the home to fluctuate due to the sun beaming into the porch room. We will take a look at the landscaping and clean it up. It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope to host you again!
