Great place to stay with pets!

We loved our stay at oak island. After some initial confusion over having to pay a linen fee, and a higher than expected pet fee, the owner realized the mistake and resolved the situation for us. Our stay here was great, and it was a really good place to stay with our dog. We'll definitely keep this property in mind for our next trip to Oak Island!

Good Socializing Area

The property was just as listed. The 2 couches were great for visiting friends and TV watching. It had all the kitchen utensils we needed and was a clean property with comfortable beds.

You get what you pay for

Check in was very detailed. We had no problems getting into thr property at all. Inside the house we noticed was pretty dirty and all tvs are VERY dated and dont have USB ports to plug in your own apple tv or roku. Any "supplies" at the house (ie toilet paper) were minimal and lower quality than the public schools. The living area is cluttered with old mismatched uncomfortable furniture. We only used the master bedroom and bathroom. I went to use a towel and found 2 towels under the sink, both were folded byt upon opening the towel it was clear that it hadnt been laundered, it was literally crusty and had visible dirty spots. The dishwasher was also dirty with crumbs and streaks of spilled food. We didnt use the bedding so i cant speak to that. The checkout list was very long and tedious considering the condition we found it in, we did however leave it better than we found it.

Cute beach cottage

Well appointed cute beach cottage in quiet neighborhood 1.2 miles from the beach. Home was very clean and we cooked meals there daily during our stay. The owner was very responsive to our questions. Would highly recommend Sandy Tails, backyard is perfect for your furry kids and lots of trails to hike. Very close to the intercoastal waterway and bike and golf cart rentals easy as well. Highly recommend.

Halloween Weekend with Family

Adam was very easy to work with and very accommodating. The house had plenty of room and was very clean. The fenced in back yard is a plus, and even though we didn’t get to enjoy it the screened in porch was a very nice touch as well. The only thing I would have changed was the TV service, it would have been nice to have cable service. We stream our service at home but I didn’t feel comfortable entering in my information to be able to use the streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video etc. We enjoyed our Halloween weekend with family.

Stay in Oak Island in winter.

This property has all new and up to date appliances. Furniture and decorations are new and very tasteful. The place just feels brand new and modern. Had one issue with a tripped breaker and owner came right over before 8 am and fixed the problem and was very pleasant and apologetic. He actually thanked us for calling him. Could not have been more pleased with our visit!
