We were surprised it wasn't cleaner. If you were bare foot your feet got dirty. Kitchen cabinets were greasy and had to do laundry daily because you had one towel each. My niece and her two children left and stayed in hotel because of hardness of bunkbed mattresses.

Good morning. I am very sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay, I and taken aback by this review. I hadn’t heard from you your entire stay, so I had no idea you were unhappy. The comfort of my guests is our top priority and had I known you and your group was unhappy I would have made sure to rectify it best I could.

Weekend getaway with large family

We had a great weekend getaway! House has everything we needed for a beach vacay. Comfortable with room for a large family to spread out and relax. Easy walk to the beach or drive to available parking for a reasonable fee. Very clean and well furnished.

Family Vacation

Eila was a exceptional hostess! From the fenced in backyard for our dogs to the beautiful well equipped home, a place everyone needs to stay when visiting Oak Island! We wanted for nothing and Eila checked on us to make sure we were comfortable and didn’t need anything. She was very knowledgeable when it came to finding great restaurants. Will definitely stay in her wonderful home again!!

Bringing dogs?

Chose house because of privacy fence for dogs. Good size yard. Quiet neighborhood. Drive down to Middletown and turn left, there is the beach. Walk Over one block to 18th and land bridge to island. Good sweet spot away from Congested areas in middle of island. House was well Equipped. All you need.

We had a great stay at this home. Fit our 10 people comfortably. It was cozy and homey which is what you want when you’re away from your own home. Great location. Just a couple blocks from the beach. Easy access to the town itself. Had to communicate with the host a couple of times and they responded quickly. Nice quiet neighborhood. Would bet highly recommend to anyone. And definitely would go back if available for our next beach trip. Both our dogs had a good time there too! Thanks for a great stay!

Nice, pet friendly.

This was our first experience with VRBO, not sure what to expect, but we were pleased. Eila (owner, property manager) was excellent! She checked after we arrived, and during our stay to make sure everything was good. Lots of supplies when we arrived. Our dog loved the fenced yard. Thank you Eila!
