We stayed 1 week. Everything was as listed, maybe even better. I dont recall seeing anything about the composite decking listed (no splinters, super nice). Views are 100 times better than the pictures. House is FULLY equipped. Super clean. You just need to bring food and water. We saw all the sea life, and were just a few steps from the ocean. The house far enough from the public beach access, that you really only share with the neighbors, if they're there. 11 out of 10. Would stay again.

The whole family enjoyed themselves with each having their respective places to sleep or play and enjoy everything a week in oak island had to offer!I would only suggest that checking in at 4:01 is a little tough with gas that have dogs and children on hot days. Especially after a long track to get to the address and happen to be a little early, a little bit.More leniency of maybe fifteen minutes would be greatly appreciated :)
