Just right

Loved this sweet spot on the beach. It's 100% as advertised. Well stocked kitchen, and for us, really fantastic decks. The one off the upstairs master is a nice bonus. We'd definitely stay here again!

The location of this beach house is perfect!! We couldn’t have been happier with the location. It’s a private beach, not crowded, and you’re literally steps away from it. The house is beautiful with plenty of room for our family.

Cute house, great location

This is a cute house for a small group. The location is nice and having the beach out back is perfect. Some features were starting to wear and could use some updating, as happens from over use from strangers, but nothing worth not staying here. We had a group of 6 and that was just right for not feeling overcrowded for us! I would recommend.

Great access to beach but home had several issues that needs to be addressed

Location great-private oceanfront access to the beach. However listing is inaccurate. Several issues-should not have been available to rent. It was not recently renovated. Several soft spots in the flooring-not safe. Feels like you will fall thru. AC guys there when we arrived. Even though this was mentioned to us upon booking, it took them until 6:30pm to get done. Seemed they didn’t know what they were doing. Younger guys using foul language. In and out of the home constantly. Had to call what looked like a veteran/season worker to help get the install complete. Told us at arrival it would only be another 2 hours which ended up being over 4. After “completion” guy told us he was setting it on 67. The AC never worked or came on the entire 5 days. House sit at 76 degrees very stuffy/uncomfortable. This work should have been done prior to our arrival and not listed until it was complete. Strong odor in upstairs bedroom where they sprayed something. Upstairs bathroom was extremely dirty and not stocked with tp. Toilet sit broken. The floors throughout was dirty/gritty. Stove/oven dirty. House was not clean. Not enough towels/washcloths. All trash/recycle bins full when we arrived. Left sitting for awhile. We took 3 bins to curb ourselves yet we only had 4-5 bags total. Very dark as carport lights didn’t work. Balcony screen upstairs would not open, stuck. Security fencing broken. Outside shower latch rusted/brkn, would not stay shut. I cleaned everything before departing.

Wonderful time on Oak island

We had a wonderful stay at the house. Check in was easy. Contacting the host was very easy and efficient. All questions were answered very quickly. The house was well stocked with all the necessities. The beach access was right off the back of the house. We hadn’t been to Oak island in about 20 years and we were reminded how much we enjoyed it. Thanks again for the great place to stay. Steve and Lyn

Wonderful beach week

We enjoyed our stay, and the house was great! The door lock on the first day was our biggest challenge. It didn’t want to unlock, but we figured out what it wanted. It wants to be pulled toward you once the code is entered. After that it was smooth sailing. We had to contact the host but the reply and correction was done quickly. The area, people and places, were great. Two grocery stores within a 5 minute drive and some very good seafood restaurants. The bbq grill was great, we used it twice. I took my crock pot with me, we like make head dinners and weren't sure if there would be one. There was, so no need to bring one from home if you're planning crockpot dinners. The kitchen had everything we needed. The water pressure in the shower was perfect. The balcony was great to sit and watch the sunset. The online listing is correct, the stairs to the second floor are steep but doable. We will be booking this again if its available for our annual beach week next year.

Wonderful gem on the beach!

This is our 4th visit to Oak Island, and Smooth Sailing is our favorite by far. This cozy, well stocked home right on the beach is a home away from home! The location is great, and the view from the top deck is breathtaking. We can't wait to come back.
