OKI's Mystic Breeze -- More than OK
Loved the 60s vibe of this cottage -- old school charm, single story, lots of knotty pine. Beds were comfortable and rooms were smaller but functional and not crowded. Ocean access and views were excellent, and the beach wasn't congested until July 4th and following (to be expected). We could see multiple impressive fireworks displays without going anywhere! The covered porch with rockers made enjoying the beach and sea birds possible even without being ON the beach. Proximity to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. is ideal, yet there's no commercial feel when you're at the cottage. Wave action in this location is ideal for beginning swimmers. Kitchen was extremely well-stocked albeit a bit disorganized. Fridge has NO ICEMAKER. Wish the house had been a bit cleaner -- cabinets, doorknobs, and some furnishings felt oily to the touch; comforters needed washing or replacing (we didn't use them); bathroom grout had fuzzy growth in showers and on floors (we sprayed with Lysol). The router was a bit slow -- adequate for vacation needs, but not for someone who has a bit of work to do while away. It was our first time at Oak Island, and we had a great week overall! I'd like to go back.
