Disliked: Cleanliness
Many reviews indicate a clean unit, but we did not have this experience. The space needs deep cleaning after each visit. The two TP allotment for 4.5 bathrooms, one trash bag, and one dishwasher pod for a 4 night stay is cheap and disrespectful to the expense and time incurred by your clients. Location is great, though, and beach access is easy and enjoyable. The fenced back yard is helpful with a pet.

Clean, Excellent Location!

We had a great stay at this property. It was in walking distance to Publix and several shops. The beach access was close. The house was very clean with plenty of seating. We very much appreciated the many yard games that were available to us. The property manager was very responsive. We would love to stay again.

Amazing property

We had a fantastic experience! The house is gorgeous and you cannot beat the location! We were able to walk everywhere and the beach is just steps away! The outdoor fire pit was such a bonus for s’mores! The elevator was also a major hit with folks who needed to avoid stairs. My pup was super happy with the fenced in backyard which made the trip that much better! Check in /out process was seamless and we even had sweet daily messages telling us to enjoy our stay! Would highly recommend!!!

The Best Beach Rental for Family at OKI!

Sandy Paws has. it. all! Our entire family stayed for a whole week and this house was perfect. It is only a few minutes walk from the beach and grocery store so the location was also a huge perk. Our dogs were extremely comfortable and the house met the needs of everyone in our family. We had babies (9 months, 16 months and 4 years) all the way up to my grandparents (76 and 85 years old!). The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking and there were plenty of places for everyone to sit and eat. There is a pack n play and high chair in the bunk room closet. The house came with games (ladder ball, corn hole and bocce) as well as 4 beach chairs, a beach cart and beach tent. There was a gas grill with extra propane tank, keurig coffee pot and even a crock pot for us to use. The linens being provided was also extra convenient. This house was extremely well kept and clean. We rented a golf cart from Sunfun rentals to be delivered to the house for our stay and this allowed us to easily ride to the splash pad/park, restaurants and shops which were only a few minutes away! I would highly recommend this house to any family that is considering coming to OKI!

Unexpected start but great ending

Our stay started off a little rocky with the first rental, having maintenance issues during a holiday weekend. Rob and Jessica were excellent with guest care and able to move us to another available rental for the remainder of the stay. Sandy Paws was a true delight! The convince of Publix nearby, elevator to assist with luggage , great wide beach entrance, the home itself was comfortable well kept and spacious. Love the balcony’s and a chefs dream kitchen. Our family truly appreciate all this home provided, from the modern yet approachable atmosphere to the open space with more than enough room for the 10 of us to be together at the same time. The fenced in backyard was a selling point to keep our furry friends safe so they too could enjoy some out doors time roaming the yard while we sat by the fire ring. Our family truly appreciate this trip and cannot wait to be back on Oak Island.
