Mead Us At The Beach: Oceanfront home in East Beach

Cons - Home has quite a bit of water damage to walls and ceilings, the floors are not at all even so you feel like you have a bit of vertigo at first (but we got used to it), quite a few of the power outlets stopped working while we were there, and the mattresses seem a bit old (and some stained), also the upstairs toilet kept running/flushing but luckily a handy husband fixed it, lastly the sliding glass door on the main floor had a broken handle making it hard to get in from the outside. Pros - the air conditioning works great and it has 2 separate units for the upstairs and down, TVs are great and 2 bedrooms had ceiling fans. Location can't be beat, easy walk out access to beach, and close to restaurants and shops.

Good things about the place - Clean, just steps off the beach, minutes to all the things on the island, comfortable beds. Just a heads up: - The house is right beside a public beach access, so it may get busy in the summer with all the foot traffic coming by. It was okay for us (we came the end of March) but it started to get a little busy on the weekend. - The shower heads are very low. Anyone over about 5’6” will basically have to do a backbend to wash their hair. Not a deal breaker but just FYI! - The house is very unlevel and shakes very noticeably when the wind blows. The first time I experienced it I thought someone was shaking the furniture but it was just the wind. The floors slope downward in some areas and the paneling on the walls bows out. The stairs to the upper level of the house are very short and are carpeted which makes them very hard to maneuver safely, but thankfully there is a hand rail. With these structural problems I wouldn’t recommend the house to anyone with mobility difficulties. - Lastly, this house is owned/managed by Oak Island Accommodations. All payments were made through their online portal and all information about the house came directly from them. I would recommend renting the house through them because we were charged more simply for finding the house on VRBO and booking through VRBO.
