We enjoyed our stay—the house was comfortable and worked for our needs. My parents needed a one-level property and we needed a pet friendly option. The kitchen was well equipped and there were extra touches like a basket of suntan lotion to share. The screened in porch was a nice space to relax in as well. Thanks!
This property is perfect for long or short term stays. Extremely clean and the beds were comfortable. Very nicely updated appliances and other kitchen equipment. The screened in porch and the grill area were used everyday. Close to the beach and other amenities of Oak Island. Owner is very responsive and though we had no major issues, when we asked a question got a prompt response. It was our first time to Oak Island and we will be back and chose this delightful home to stay. Our 2 Westies had enough room to romp and they enjoyed the stay as well.
EVERYTHING we needed!We really enjoyed our stay at the Shark Shack. We were most impressed with all the extras they supplied such as the grills, bikes and beach accessories --just everything you could think of was available. The outdoor porch and shower are a nice feature. The house was super clean and decorated very nicely, with a fully equipped kitchen. The only issue we had was the water was cut off to the outdoor shower and we couldn't find the code to the lock where the bikes and beach accessories are stored, but the property manager took care of this very promptly. The location relative to the beach is not bad, especially with bikes but a wagon is also available if you want to walk (less than a mile).
The shark shack was so comfortable for our family trip to Oak Island. My kids loved the games in the coffee table. I really liked the location of the house. We rented a golf cart through Sea dog rentals and could easily drive to the beach, down to the point, and to restaurants we wanted to go to. I thoroughly enjoyed having my morning coffee on the screened in porch and even napped there one afternoon.
