A wonderful ocean front property which is perfect for a relaxing beach vacation! While the house doesn’t 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. Can’t beat oceanfront views. House was well equipped. Comfortable seating and bedroom sets. This is a cozy home! It’s on the smaller side so it would be best for a small family or just a couple staying in.

Nice view but lacking accommodations

1. Misrepresentation – 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 “bedroom” in an advertised beach house and should have been disclosed.2. Non-functional AmenitiesOutdoor Shower: The outdoor shower leaked and sprayed directly into a person’s 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 dryer’s 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.

Great Two Weeks on Oak Island!

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!

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!

An oasis

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!

Oak Island House Rental

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 it’s 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 “we recently had exterminators at house”. 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. Didn’t 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.

Very well-kept cottage on the beach

The owners keep this property in top shape. The interior is modern and clean, and everything works as it should. The kitchen is fully furnished, though somewhat inexpensively, but I don't ding the owners for this since it is nearly impossible to keep nice things in a rental like this. I cooked several meals and never had to look far for what I needed. The hot water is hot, the refrigerator is cold, and the air conditioning system has no problem keeping up with the hottest days. The deck is ample, and there are some beach items underneath the house. The washer and dryer work great. Ideally they would be located within the house, but it's already on the cozy side so it's really no bother taking it downstairs and back up. The beds are extremely comfortable in my opinion. My wife and I liked it so much that we are asking what brand and model they are so that we can look into acquiring one like it for our home. With the erosion control policies that are now at most North Carolina beaches, we can no longer walk straight out to the beach from the back deck, but this house is only one house from the public access path, and so walking to the beach from the front door of the house is maybe a two-minute walk to get your toes wet. The host, Dee, was very easy to reach and responded quickly whenever I wrote to ask her a question about anything. Want fresh local seafood? Check out Haag and Sons. Want great ice cream or doughnuts? Check out OKI Scoop.
