Nice Enough in a great location
Overall the house was in good working order but the dusty and musty air made us all feel congested. There is visible interior damage to the walls in the living area. The linens provided by the property manager were very thin; I would have brought my own had I known it was a rental linen package. It wasn't clear when the quilts were last cleaned but the property manager did tell us they had been cleaned recently. Beach access was great.

Lovely View, be aware it’s a duplex
The property is in a beautiful location. Unfortunately, we did not realize it was a duplex and upon arrival we had to listen to a young child pound away as she ran through the attached unit. The following night, it was peaceful however, at 1:45 am the next round of guests checked in and woke us as they arrived and banged around until after 2 am. They also decided to wander over to our side of the deck which we found to be intrusive. If it weren’t for the noisy neighbors, I would have given this property 5 stars all the way. Unfortunately, the thin walls and noisy guests put a damper on our experience.

Repairs and Infestation
Multiple repairs were needed. Arrived on Saturday communicated with rental agency via voicemail at least twice. No response from Sat to Mon. I had to contact them again and sent pictures. Two were repairs that impacted the kitchen. We had ant infestation and roaches.

Perfect View
Despite the weather (awaiting arrival of T.S. Debby), the view of the ocean from the deck was mesmerizing. I spent most of the days content to watch the watch the weather and the surfers catching the large waves from the comfortable chairs on the deck, out of the sun but enjoying the breeze and incredible views. Upon arrival, I reported several minor issues to property management (about 10), which they addressed the first business day. None of the issues materially impacted our enjoyment of the property. For cleanliness, I gave 4 stars because it was mostly clean, except for considerable sand in the sofa when we arrived. They gave it a good clean.

Great Location
We loved our stay at this property. Our only problem was that we could never get the televisions in the bedrooms to connect to the WiFi even after asking for help from host, basically were dismissed and told to try again. Believe me we tried over and over with no luck. Luckily we had an iPad that connected easily to WiFi and used it to watch movies at bedtime.

Water leaks and construction next door
CHeck in process was rough, we arrived by 3 pm after a long drive and a very hot day. We had to wait 2 hours before we got the key. Upon arriving, we see there is a bad leak in the kitchen sink. Wet pads were placed there so someone already knew of the leak. The plumber came and said this is a major issue and he would return the next day to fix it. And oh, he is not a morning person so it would be mid day. Meanwhile, there is major construction next door, workers cussing at each other, loud noises

The house of amazing views!
We had the most incredible stay at this beachfront house! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views of the ocean. The house is perfectly situated, allowing us to enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets right from the comfort of the living room. The interior of the house is just as impressive as the views outside. The living spaces are tastefully decorated and incredibly comfortable, making us feel right at home. The bedrooms were spacious and cozy, and we loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing outside. One of the highlights of our stay was spending time on the deck overlooking the ocean. Whether we were enjoying a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening, the deck quickly became our favorite spot in the house.

Amazing location
Although we were a little surprised we were expected to bring our own toilet paper, bath soap, trash bags, and kitchen towels, we were well-informed that they were needed, and were prepared. The duplex itself was clean and well maintained. The other side was not occupied, so it was quiet. A house is being built on the adjacent property, though, and construction noise, although not excessively loud, was present throughout the day. The beautiful view from the porch was just as shown in the pictures, and access to the beach was quite easy. We enjoyed many spontaneous walks on the beach, which was not crowded.

Beautiful views, excellent property management.
Linens were lare but not the managements fault! I also wish I would have known there was construction right next door. The noise was from 7:30a-6:30p every day but the day we left. However I cannot say enough about the management office. They personally delivered our linenes when the linen service failed and also pet us back in right before departure to grab my 8 year olds bunny, on a Sunday.

Disappointed
While the location was great the unit was lacking. The owner is not getting his money's worth from the managing/cleaning company. When we arrived the floors/rugs were disgusting. Food pieces, dead bugs, sand that said the floors had not been touched. Could not even use the sliding door, would not open more that 6 inches. Problems with the stove, if 2 burners were used with the oven the breaker would pop. Called to report but it was not fixed. Kitchen cabinet doors were lose, which my son tightened. Armies of ants plagued us in the kitchen and bedrooms. Would not rent again.

2 Tortugas West
Location was excellent. House was neat and clean but needs a little work. Cupboards were coming apart. No curtain or shade on kitchen window. Sliding glass door to the deck would barely open and was very hard to close. Called about it but nobody came to look at it. Hot water ran out on 2nd person showering. Interconnecting door to other unit would barely lock enough to keep it closed. Overall a decent visit overlooking the above things.

Disappointing Stay
As usual photos sell a property. However, in our case the reality didn’t match our expectations which were largely based on on-line photos. The beach proximity is great. The beach itself is perfect. We were shocked to find the place was a two units with other guests too close. The front door was so rusted and loose that we didn’t think we would even get inside. The entire property seemed old and really in need of an update, in our opinion. We love Oak Island but next time we will rent a newer place that is pet friendly further away from the ocean and rent a golf cart to get to the beach. I must say the owner communicated perfectly and gave us great places to eat on and off the island. The cons out-number the pros so we would not stay there again

Weekend Trip with Kids - Mostly good
My wife and I and Kids under 9 spent the weekend here. We were able to check in at 3 which was fantastic. The house itself was clean. View was great and convenience of beach access was a huge plus. House has a great Kureg machine (bring filters). We could hear the people at times in the duplex on the other side of the wall. Sliding glass window was dirty on outside and did not function easily. No plastic cups or bowls for kids in kitchen. How water ran out fairly quickly. Not sure if this unit has its own tank or shares with duplex unit. Overall convenient to neighboring restaurant and fishing pier. Would consider staying here again.

Great location!
This property is a great location on the beach and in walking distance to a wonderful restaurant and bar. The sliding door to the porch is absolutely ridiculously hard to open and close due to the rust. The door lock needs to be replaced on the front door due to being rusted and hard to open. Definitely need to bring toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags (there was only one in the trash can) and kitchen towels. There are pans for cooking but could use better ones. The making of the beds was not a big deal with the linens but upon leaving comforters were left on the beds because that was the instructions. I sure hope they were clean in between guests! The cleanliness of the place was fairly good. I would suggest the cleaners use a mop over the baseboards and move furniture when cleaning due when we moved the couch there was a hat someone had left and sand that had been tracked inside. The back bathroom is small, efficient but could use a shelf or 2 to place things to stay organized. Also a mirror in the back bedroom would be helpful as we had 2 adults trying to get ready at the same time. Overall, a great place to stay!

Beautiful view & great location
The view from the back deck makes this a property I would want to come back to. The deck isn't huge, but it's deep and has 4 rocking chairs from which you can see the ocean and hear the waves. The location is another perk. We ate at Island Way, which is basically next door and the food was amazing - being able to walk to excellent dining is fun and you couldn't be closer to the beach. The place isn't fully renovated, but the owners have renovated the important parts - bathrooms are very clean and feel new and the kitchen appliances are new. The kitchen cabinets definitely are not. When we got there, the place was clean enough to not make a complaint, but it wasn't spotless. We found cereal on the floor by the couch and someone had left crumbs on one of the beds. We didn't discover these things right away, so decided to just clean them ourselves. The attic door was left in a weird position, so it made noise when the breeze came through the house. Again, we could have complained, but chose not to, so I can't speak to how that would have been addressed. We did call the management company because the kitchen didn't have a corkscrew (priorities!). They eventually brought one, but didn't call us to tell us they were doing so, so we had already bought one (so, if you go there, there will be 2). All in all, I would book this place again because of the location and view.

Beach weekend getaway
This property is on a beautiful stretch of beach, close to the pier. There is a great steak/seafood restaurant within walking distance that I recommend. The home is a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom duplex with a view of the ocean. You can hear your neighbors, similar to living in an apartment or condo.
