I have stayed here twice and will go back. It’s a cozy cottage with everything you’ll need in a great location. You can walk to the beach, the grocery store, local shops and restaurants.

Close and Quite

This place was in the perfect location. Very close to restaurants and shops yet, it was still quiet and peaceful. The golf cart was the best part!

Everything you need and more

This house had everything we needed and more! It was clean, well-appointed and it appeared to be recently updated and well cared for. It was a short walk to the beach, and had a lovely screened-in porch with an ocean view. It was a quick walk to Publix, shops and restaurants. The property manager was communicative and wonderful to work with. I would book this property again!

New Years on Oak Island

Good spot close to the main road. Lots of fun tooling around on the provided golf cart. Walking distance to grocery store and beach. Clean and tidy and everything you need for cooking meals. Washer and dryer lets you pack light. Plenty of towels and linens. Great food at the local restaurants. Good value for the money.

Great Getaway

We were looking for a last-minute getaway and this house truly gave us what we needed. We did have a few minor issues, but the property manager immediately responded and not worth mentioning here. The golf cart came in handy when we went to Publix a short distance away. The beach is very walkable. The home is near a gas station and car wash, which in convenient. The only concern was when garbage day came around, it was very loud with the dumpsters nearby. The house had everything we needed. We cooked breakfast each day and went out to the local restaurants for dinner. This was our first time to Oak Island, and I'll definitely go back. The location of this house is perfect. The 3 bedrooms worked out perfectly for a grown daughter in the Mermaid room and the other daughter and a friend in the bunk-bed room. Have 2 full baths was great. We really didn't utilize the outdoor area but it was fairly large. It was so very clean when we arrived. And again the manager of the property was great - we'll book with Better Beach Rentals again!

The interior was impeccable and clean. The owners wife has a nack for decorating for Halloween. Would give the insider A.The outside needed to be blown every week Twigs pick up. They are located under a lot of trees so now that it is fall, need to have people out there every week Blowing leaves and acorns off the driveway and parking spot stairs and deck. This could be a hazard.My wife is just now getting over a ankle fracture, so I do not want her rolling her ankle again on the acornsOwners have a fabulous big golf cart. They have everything you can think of from chairs to umbrellas to toys, etc. So you really don’t need to bring any extra stuff. They have tons of stuff. Even a fishing pole.You are literally a 3 to 5 minute golf cart ride to Ally 52 where you can park beachfront.You cannot control the construction behind us where they’re putting up a privacy fence, which would be good for All. You back up to a convenient store so that got a little busy and noisy at night. But not a dealbreaker.Even though I would give the outside a COur overall experience would be A- We would definitely stay here again..
