Oak Island Beach Abode w/ Deck: Walk to Shore!

Reviews

• I’d go back!!

  5/5

  Other than lack of TP and paper towels, I’d totally go back. The house is open and very comfy. The bed I slept in was amazing. Back bedroom, right hand side. What kind of mattress or topper is that?? We had a great time. Great location in reference to the beach.

  5/5

  Myself, 2 sisters and a friend stayed at "The Shellington" for a few days this week and it was lovely. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. It had a basic open layout of kitchen/dining/living area with a hall running through the middle. There were two bedrooms and a bath on each side. It was perfect for us! We could see the ocean from the deck and the beach access was just across the street to the left. A short walk. We will definitely remember this place and go there again. And Sebastian was a phone call away. The keypad didn't work the first time we tried it, so I called and he reset it. We got right in and he was very accommodating. We had a great time!

• Great House

  4/5

  The house was great and very close to the beach! It worked well for our family! The only thought is that the kitchen be equipped with more utensils and dishtowels. Thanks!

• Poor cleaning service.

  2/5

  During our stay we had to clean before we could even unpack. The floors were still covered with sand and dirt. Under all furniture was absolutely disgusting!!! The showers still had soap stains and sand in the bottom of the tubs. Taking my child into such a nasty environment away from home was not comforting at all and took away from our vacation having to do the work that someone else should have done. You can’t check in until 4 and have to leave by 10am. There should be no excuse for the house to still be filthy. I do not recommend staying here for the price and filth. The location was nice. The railing on the home is NOT safe for children at all. The spaces are so large your child would fall a whole story if you weren’t careful.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Autumn, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We genuinely appreciate your feedback, and the homeowner would like to share the following:
  -Unfortunately, had we been made aware upon your arrival that the cleaning did not meet your expectations, we would have promptly contacted the cleaners for immediate rectification. Subsequent guests, including those following your stay, have consistently affirmed the cleanliness of the property upon their arrival. We have recent photographs of the house taken after the most recent cleaning.
  -Regarding the spacing between the deck spindles, measurements were taken following your concern. While the property is older, we are actively working to enhance safety by modifying the decking. It's important to note that the spacing exceeded safety requirements by half an inch, and we've had numerous children, including our own, safely enjoy the deck. Nevertheless, supervision of children on the second-story deck is important.
  -Having provided both our contact number and email, we regrettably did not receive notification of any issues during your stay. It was only a week after your departure that we became aware of your concerns.
  Our commitment to providing an exceptional stay remains steadfast, and we eagerly anticipate hosting many more satisfied guests.
