Fair warning to anyone considering renting 401 E. Second Street in Ocean Isle Beach…read more We've been here for our vacation, paying well over $2,000 for the week, and I've now been stung SEVEN times by wasps/hornets on the property. I've personally removed two nests myself, and even after the property management company sent pest control out, I was stung again. I understand that insects are part of coastal living, but being stung seven times during a single vacation is beyond ridiculous. A rental property should be properly inspected and treated before guests arrive, especially for the first renters of the season. What frustrates me most is that this issue has continued despite it being reported and despite pest control already visiting the property. At some point, "we sent someone out" stops being a solution when guests are still getting stung. A vacation is supposed to be relaxing. Instead, I've spent the week watching every corner of the house, deck, and outdoor area wondering where the next nest is hiding. Extremely disappointed with how this has been handled.

Bermuda Trace 1. Get a tetanus shot before your vacation…read more The walkway is in horrid condition with missing rails, rotten boards and rusty nail pops. Our son was injured during our trip and spent an afternoon getting a tetanus booster. 2. Bring your own kitchen appliances. Most of the ones in the house are not fully functional. 3. Prepare to spend the first day cleaning. The house is cluttered and the kitchen dishes, silverware, cups, etc. were not clean upon arrival. The bathrooms had mold around the vents, shower walls and faucet handles. 4. Schedule an appointment with your chiropractor for after the vacation since the beds are way too soft. 5. Plan on spending a day of your vacation with maintenance. When we arrived the house had a water leak and we had to ask to have the rusted out grill replaced. 6. We had 8 guests at most on our trip. The house says it can hold 16 but I can't imagine having more than 10. 7. Bring a cooler. There is only one refrigerator which had a broken shelf during our visit. While Sloane did send out a plumber and maintenance the day after our arrival I'm still surprised they would be willing to manage this property in its current condition. The property has a lot of potential (the other side of the duplex is beautiful) but in its current state I would definitely find somewhere else to stay.

Jaime Green, the Stellar representative, was essentially a miracle worker - she is responsive, professional, and efficient. The owners of rental, whom I have never met, went out of their way to accommodate my family in a crunch, and I will be forever grateful for their gratitude and understanding. The long and short of the story, is we had a family matter that elicited the need to change houses the week before our scheduled stay at another home through Stellar. THE DAY BEFORE we were supposed to check in, Jaime worked with the golf cart rental company, the beach rental company, and the homeowners to switch all of our reservations. The home was simply flawless, but what will make me a forever Stellar client, was Jaime Green and the business that Stellar runs. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to Stellar for making our vacation so memorable!

We have stayed in Island Condo - 001 - 75 W1 - Bradshaw 75…read moreWest First St three or four other times in last 12 years. It's our go-to preferred place to stay in OIB. It must have changed ownership and rental company management several times. The updates done recently are really nice; it's much more modern and clean-feeling now. Unit is very small. Perfect for retired couple like us. Would be cramped with any more than 2 people. It's right on beach with modern deck and shared gazebo. Unit was very clean. Modern kitchen. Pots and pans. Dishwasher. Microwave. A coffeemaker/ Keurig combo you can use either. HVAC worked great! Of course no washer/dryer there is just not enough room. And bathroom is small, too. But no issues with unit at all and we're picky! We would have appreciated an option to include sheets and towels. Bringing our own is a hassle. In years past they were included. But biggest issue is not including any paper products as in paper towels or toilet paper. That's ridiculous. For less than $15 you can stock unit with 12 rolls of quality TP and 3 rolls of quality paper towels. if we don't bring any, and arrive late in evening and don't have time to goto store first or don't bring them with us, we don't have any TP or paper products that night. Heck for $15 you can include a pack of napkins, too. We're spending $1,500+ on a 7 day rental - including TP, paper towels, and napkins isn't too much to ask.

We recently stayed in the Colony II building that Sloane Realty owns. Overall, we really enjoyed…read moreour family vacation to Sunset Beach! Pros: This location is a simple 5 minute drive to the beach where there is convenient parking. It's also a convenient drive to Calabash (check out the Calabash Creamery!), a Food Lion, ABC store and just about anything you might need during your stay. Sunset Beach could really use a Target however... There is an outdoor pool, indoor pool/hot tub and exercise center that is reserved for renters. The grounds are clean and well maintained. There is also a grill for communal use. There is TV provided with 700+ channels, just in case it rains. Cons: No Wifi? What is this, 2004? Enough said. The interior of our unit was a little dated. It kind of felt like we were staying in our grandparent's condo in Naples. There was also a little bit of a cleanliness issue in one of the rooms but it seems like that was probably just an oversight by the cleaning crew. In an age where AirBnB is providing amazing (and modern) places to stay, this kitchy resort might want to consider stepping up their game. Overall, I would recommend this place, especially if you're there to hit the beach and get some sun... Let's face it, that has to be the only reason to go to Sunset Beach!

Our place leaked at every door and half the windows and required us to use our bath towels to keep the place dry. All they did was bring us more towels and tell us its the owners problem, but never contacted the owner for us. List of problems they ignored...railing on third floor falling apart due to wood rot, deck unusable due to nails pushing up and deck being decrepit, furniture un usable due to rot and missing pieces, one small fridge designed for a home for 4 not 14, no ice maker than small one on the fridge, no outdoor shower yet one is listed in ad, a/c ran 24/7 but never got the home cooler than 76 f they had 2 portable units in the home so they knew they had issues. Only ONE working fire extinguisher for the entire home, towel racks falling off the walls sinks that leaked all over the floor, This is only a small portion of the issues.
