Great place; Great View; Great Host

The views are amazing. Takes some getting used to the spiral staircase. No dining area except chairs at the bar and the table on the deck. Outdoor shower wasn't working but was a little chilly for us and the host was getting it taken care of right away. We will definitely be back.

Oak island retreat.

The condo has nice size and comfortable beds. The kitchen is stocked very well. Everything worked. The view of the ocean is amazing, being it is second row. The houses that were in front of the condo have been removed and give the best view. The only drawback is no dining table. But for a short 4 nights stay we did our best. It’s tight if you have more then 3 people eating at the small bar. We would stay again

Jackson’s Corner -

We had an awesome experience renting from Valerie. The pictures were accurate. The location is fabulous.and the view is fantastic. We loved the balconies facing the ocean. The rooms are all a nice size. Downstairs bedroom is nice with its own shower. Living room furniture is very comfortable. There are chairs and a table on the balcony where we enjoyed eating our meals. The place was very clean. We love the spiral stairs to the second floor. We are over 65 and managed them quite well :-) The kitchen has nice appliances. There are plenty of pots and pans, dishes, bowls, and silverware. The dishwasher works great! Please rent Jackson’s Corner. You will not be disappointed. Access to the beach is just across the street.

Mixed reviews. There were lots of good things about this place that I’ll address in a moment, but there are a few things anyone renting this place needs to fully understand. Number one there is no dining room and no dining room table. When it says dining for six, I think they mean the picnic table under the house. Also, as cute as the spiral staircase is, it is impossible to get any suitcase, other than a carry-on size up the stairs. I was traveling with two elderly ladies, and they really struggled. That being said, the property location is amazing. The beach is beautiful. Everything was clean. the kitchen was well stocked and we really enjoyed our stay.

It is a beautiful apartment. There was plenty of space for us to spread out and have our own spaces. The upper floor was a bit tricky to get luggage up the spiral staircase, but it was not insurmountable. The upper king bedroom was beautiful with the personal balcony. The views were stunning. We loved being steps from the beach, and we walked on the beach every night.

This is a great place to stay for young adults

The location is perfect! House was clean and host was amazing. However,, if your traveling with senior citizens or small children, the spiral staircase is a safety hazard and problematic getting up and down. Otherwise, highly recommend for young adults with teenagers.

Great location and beach access

The best aspect of this is the location. We could zip to the beach in minutes and go back and forth to the property as needed all day. The empty lot across the street was wonderful for being able to see the ocean. The outdoor shower is really nice and has super hot water. The downside is probably the tight spiral staircase and the AC was a little weak upstairs so we found it a bit warm overnight even with the AC really low. We had a minor issue with a broken bathroom faucet but the hosts responded with a repair quickly. Overall we had a great time.

Beautiful view!

The location of this property is great. It is literally steps away from the ocean and the views are priceless. We enjoyed the swing on the deck and the outdoor shower was a big hit! The spiral staircase is very narrow and steep, it is definitely precarious. The host is very easy to contact and responds in a timely manner. Overall a great stay, but the unit wasn’t cleaned properly prior to our arrival in my opinion.

Great view but…

The view is spectacular. The access to the beach is ideal. The owner was easy to reach. It is close to grocery stores and beach shops, even walkable. While it says it sleeps 8, it is quite tight. The spiral staircase that leads to two of the three bedrooms, including the master suite, is precarious and very narrow. Be advised.

Easter Weekend

It was a convenient place to meet my 2 sons from USC for Easter, and a Spring Break for myself, my mom, and my youngest son. The proximity to the beach and being able to sit out on the front porch and see the water was perfect. There was a lot open even though it was the off season, but mini golf. We all enjoyed our stay. The only negative I would say is the circular staircase, that is an accident waiting to happen.
