Better Beach Rentals in Oak Island, North Carolina

“This was a perfect place for a quick family trip to the ocean! It is located very close to a public beach access. The door lock did give us some trouble a few times and I was under the impression the basement would be accessible from inside of the house. Other than that, it was a perfect place to stay!”

“Overall, we enjoyed the home, its a great location offers a comfortable layout and a pool! But the first impressions were pretty rocky. The door code did not work, and we were unable to enter the residence for about 30 minutes. Getting assistance was also difficult because communication was not easily accessible through Airbnb or text, and the phone representative could not locate our reservation based on the address since the confirmation code was not included in the contact information message. Another inconvenience was arriving to beds that were not made. The sheets were not on the beds, and the pillows still needed to be put into pillowcases, which we only realized once we were getting into bed. The bathrooms also did not have hand soap despite there being soap pumps present. The kitchen itself was very well stocked with utensils, pans, and gadgets, which we appreciated. However, consumable supplies were minimal. Only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom was provided, and there”

“Our family had a wonderful stay at10 Oars. The location is spectacular and the accommodations were very nice. We enjoyed our time there.”

“Pros: Location is wonderful. Very short walk to the beach, and a peaceful neighborhood. The home was clean, beautiful, and spacious. Lots of kitchen amenities and dish ware. Good price. Cons: very poor communication from Better Beach Rentals. We asked specific questions about early check in and wifi, and literally never received an answer to those questions. Instead, we only received automated responses. It was clear there was no real human behind the messages. They gave us contradictory door codes, which led to confusion. They did not provide a sufficient amount of kitchen towels (1) bathroom towels (1 per bathroom), paper towel (1), toilet paper (1 per bathroom) or garbage bags (1). The sheets were not on the beds when we arrived; we had to make up our own beds. The blinds were broken in one room. The upstairs balcony slider door was broken when we got there (not on the tracks) and almost fell on a 4-year old.”

“The home was amazing, lots of communal space for meals and lounging. We had a baby with us and it was very quiet on the third floor so he was never disturbed. Conveniently located right on the beach with beautiful views and balconies. They told us a list of items we had to bring ourselves including dish soap, toilet paper and paper towels but we also had to run to the store to get hand soaps for all of the bathrooms. The host/rental company was not very responsive as replies usually took a couple days and we didn’t hear back about one of our questions while we were on the trip.”
