A wonderful ocean front property which is perfect for a relaxing beach vacation! While the house doesnât connect directly to the beach, it is a very brief walk to the dune cross over. I love this way because it really protects the dunes which are so vital for Oak Island. The deck is excellent for ocean and bird watching and sunrise and sunset! We also had butterflies and dragonflies! It was fantastic. Any problems that arose were quickly addressed by Dee. The beds were so comfortable and everything we needed was provided. The house was spotless! We will stay here again.
We went for a short anniversary weekend. It was just perfect. The location was great. Canât beat oceanfront views. House was well equipped. Comfortable seating and bedroom sets. This is a cozy home! Itâs on the smaller side so it would be best for a small family or just a couple staying in.
1. Misrepresentation â Bedrooms Without StorageThe master bedroom and bunk bedroom lacked closets or any clothing storage. There was not even a dresser to store basic items like socks or undergarments. As a result, we had to live entirely out of suitcases during our stay. This is contrary to reasonable expectations for a âbedroomâ in an advertised beach house and should have been disclosed.2. Non-functional AmenitiesOutdoor Shower: The outdoor shower leaked and sprayed directly into a personâs face rather than onto sandy areas as intended, making it essentially unusable.Laundry Facilities: The washer/dryer unit, located under the house, stained and damaged clothing (including sheets and shirts). One golf polo was permanently damaged when caught between the spinning drum and the dryerâs edge.3. Poor Condition of Living Room FurnitureThe living room chairs were old, worn, and sank noticeably when sat in. Additionally, there was no coffee table as pictured or reasonably expected in a living area setup.
We have vacationed in Oak Island for 15 years, this is absolutely the nicest place we have stayed. It is very well maintained, very clean and great amenities. The host was amazing and responded and solved any issues we had immediately.
Really enjoyed our stay. The house was "as advertised."Great view from deck with chairs in shade all day, easy access to beach. clean, modern interior.
The property was super clean, modern and the communication was great. There was an issue with the washing machine not working due to prior renters but they contacted repairmen and compensated us for the inconvenience.
West End Gulls is an awesome place to spend some quiet and comfortable time at the beach. The location is very convenient with great ocean views from the house and deck. Easy beach access. The house is set up very well and has everything you need to enjoy your time at the beach! We will return!
Great vacation week on the sand. Cottage is newly remodeled and perfect in every way. Fresh and clean with everyting we needed.Dee was very responsive, sent a welcome message and checked to see if we needed anything.
This house is on a restful beach behind lovely sand dunes but with access steps away. Absolutely immaculate with fantastic amenities. Turn-key vacation.
The house was very clean. Thatâs important to me. The owner communicated whenever I needed. We were just steps from the beach. I have absolutely no complaints. I highly recommend this place.
Owners have thoughtful amenities. I would recommend that they provide local tv channels and look at regulating hot water in showers. Also, should put up house address numbers. We had great stay and would do it again.
Beachfront, newly renovated house with well-stocked kitchen
Area was very quiet and right at the ocean. We enjoyed the comfortable furniture and mattresses and the well-stocked kitchen. Washer & dryer being under the house instead of in the house was the only downside. Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy!
This stay was perfect. Fantastic location. Peaceful serene. Outdoor shower was very useful for showering off the beach. The washer and dryer under the house was nice for trying to keep the sand out but sligtly inconvenient if your just trying to do routine laundry. Memory foam mattresses through out. Bunk bed was large enough even for our teens, very sturdy! Great vacation home!
Excellent location and beautiful ocean views. We checked in quickly without any issues. The host had complimentary snacks and drinks when we arrived. We have paid a lot more for a lot less in the past. This home exceeded our expectations! The house is perfect for enjoying a day playing/fishing on the beach. We will definitely be staying again in the future.
House location is great, right on the beach and check-in process was smooth. Recent renovations and upgrades are great. Laundry area is below house and access is from outside deck facing ocean.
Listing was not clear about beach access location. Asked just prior to renting early in 2024 and host indicated house had itâs own access but not the case, need to use public access.
First night when lights went out the cockroaches appeared. Reached out to VRBO host and all we got in return was âwe recently had exterminators at houseâ. We have rented a number of older houses from outer banks to Holden Beach and never experienced this. Maybe it is common, but expected the host to assist with dealing with the issue. Told us that we could find traps/spray at local hardware store. Didnât even offer to reimburse us for dealing with the issue. If you rent this house bring spray/traps to deal with. We had to deal with cockroaches every night, kept a number of lights on every night in an attempt to keep them away.
