We loved our stay at Footprints in the Sand. The place was spotless and the owners truly thought of everything. The location is perfect with the most amazing views. It was just what we needed for a relaxing weekend away over Thanksgiving. Thank you!
The housekeeping for this property leaves the bed sheets wrappedin plastic on the bed. Knowing this, I emailed the property manager and formally requested the beds be made via 2 separate emails. Both responses assured me that they would be made. Upon arrival after a 10 hr drive, beds were all unmade. Contacted the office, and about 2 hours later, the housekeeper arrived to make the beds.
We rented bikes for the week, and the company accidently overcharged $5. He emailed me to let me know that he had left a 5 dollar bill in the bike cupholder. It had been stolen. When the housekeeper arrived to make beds, she returned the money, citing that it was someone else's fault.
This home was filthy. Floors, cabinets, drawers, bathrooms, ceiling fans, and furniture all were disgusting. The refrigerator NEVER froze the ice pops I had brought for my kids. Of course, there was a laminated sign on the refrigerator that stated it did not work well. Ice cream, and other groceries I brought for the 7 day stay, all went bad.
Smoke detector chirped constantly and kept us up the first 2 nights. I filed a maintainence work order and sent 2 emails--all ignored. Finally, we removed it from the ceiling. No one ever came out.
Dishes and utensils all look like they came from the garbage pile at Goodwill. Sofa sinks in the middle so no one can sit comfortably.
Finally, forget about a decent shower. There is no water pressure and tub does not drain.
Amazing property and the views were exactly what we wanted. Beach access was close, house was comfortable and close to town for groceries and other items.
The house was very nice. It was our first trip to Oak Island, NC and the beach was very wide at low tide and clean. The view from the front deck was absolutely the best feature. We spent a lot of time out there, like being oceanfront on 1st row house.
We had a great time at Footprints. The house was very clean and well stocked with all the necessary kitchen items to enjoy some home cooked meals. The location of the house to the Public Beach Access was great and the front porch was great for coffee in the AM or an afternoon cocktail. Great visit!
Loved the decor of the house. We also loved the option of the uncovered part of the deck for the sun time and the covered corner area was great when it was windy or rainy (we had all weather during the 3 days!). Our favorite part was the fabulous sun room! If it was chilly, windy, or rainy sitting in there was as close to being outside as you could get.
Wonderful house with a fantastic sun porch that has beautiful views of the ocean. Very close to the beach! Small issue with key code on door on arrival but communication with property management company was fast and responsive and they sent out an IT tech to fix the radio signal quickly. Lovely home and gorgeous beach just across the road!
Footprints in the Sand is well maintained, clean, well stocked and a fantastic location. Loved the deck and sunroom. Beds were clean and comfortable. We spent a few days here with old friends and really loved the place. The only thing I would suggest is better silverware (we only had 5 forks) and a few serving bowls. But that's just me, I cook and we eat in. Would definitely stay here again.
Footprints on the Sand is a lovely house thatâs great a couple or family. The deck provides beautiful views of the ocean.
We split our week vacationing and working from the beach. The Wi-Fi can handle several devices and video VOIP calls. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils and bakeware if cooking is your thing. FYI, Thereâs a Kuerig coffee maker but no pods provided.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
