Great place to stay. Reminds you of the Family owned places when you were a kid. The Staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and well maintained.
Kelli, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

For an older property the rooms were well cleaned and nice, could be a bit more soundproof. Very friendly atmosphere from the office staff and the other guests. Very short walk to the beach, pool was great and area was clean. It was really nice to be able to continue using the parking lot, pool, pier and bathroom they provide after checkout. Would definitely stay there again!

Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a quaint little place at Oak Island for a few nights stay. It would have been nice to have had at least queen size beds in the room and maybe some more table space but it was nice for a hotel trying to keep up with the times. The pool area and beach access was wonderful. Check in was pretty easy but be sure to get there before the office closes and write down ir take a picture of your tag (it’s part of the check in process).
Ashleigh, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very central area, rooms need to be bigger, no microwave in the rooms, but great fishing can be done on the pier
Matthew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was the cleanest place I ever stayed. The rooms were basic but there were a lot of small things that showed a lot of thought was put into making it a step above for example the rooms had a safe for valuables. The beds were comfy and the towels were nicer quality than many other places I've stayed. I loved being right on the beach and so close to the fishing pier. This place was so ideal for a relaxing vacation. There was plenty of parking. I constantly saw staff outside working on the grounds. The staff was so friendly and it was pleasant to chat with them. Checkin and out was easy. I will definitely be back here. Loved the close proximity to other islands and beaches but you truly could come here and never leave the parking lot or the island if you wanted to. There is a restaurant next door although I didnt eat there this time. I can't say enough good about this place to do it justice. I wasnt sure what to expect being that it was my first time here but my experience was great and I want to stay here again in the future, I won't even look elsewhere because this was just too perfect and so cozy, comfortable, and clean.
