Would not stay here again
Pros - The location is perfect. It is directly on the beach. Oak Island is a very nice area. Oak Island Accommodations (OIA), Inc. were “on it” when we had problems (see the cons). I would rent from them again without hesitation.
Cons - on arrival day (Saturday), it was very warm in the house. I turned the a/c down and it never did cool down. I emailed Oak Island Accommodations and received a call from them the next morning (Sunday). A technician came out within a half an hour and looked at the unit. The filters for the a/c unit were deplorable. He could bring three window a/c units for us to use I spent 1 night with a fan on me and 6 nights getting up and down all night long to adjust the window a/c. Turn it down, you woke up freezing; turn it up, you woke up frying. Minimal sleep for 7 nights. There was no dehumidifier working, so everything in the bedrooms downstairs became damp. I washed the sheets on my bed halfway through the stay and found mold on the mattress pad. Upstairs a/c worked. This was the main floor a/c.
The description should say TVs and cable are a mess. The ones in the living room and in the twin bedroom worked. All the others either got one to three channels or were not connected to anything.
The downstairs bathroom smelled like urine that was noticeable as soon as you walked in the room.
On June 4, it stormed (a lot), and the water made it to the kitchen area and had to be mopped several times, including at 4am. Drainage issues were evident outside.
And the biggest cockroaches that I have ever seen!
I have photos to support all of the above.
Conclusion - Oak Island - yes, Oak Island Accommodations - yes, Double T by the Sea - no.
