Aug 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wish I could give this owner/property 10/10 stars!!! Beautiful and very clean property that was perfect for a crew of our employees that were working out of town in Oak Island. I was new to VRBO and made a few mistakes with booking. The owner was literally amazing. She was so kind and helpful. She helped me every step of the way. Every single time I called, she answered. Every time I texted, she responded almost immediately. her communication throughout this 2 month process has been top notch. In the course of our stay, something happened with the hot water heater, and she had someone onsite to investigate/repair the same day. So very happy with our experience, and the guys tell me how nice the house was upon arrival and throughout their stay! I absolutely recommend this listing and the owner!! ##### Amanda T.
