My husband and I enjoyed five nights at this beautiful, comfortable condo. Everything we needed and more was available. The location of the West End is the best on the island. Beach access was very close as well as the Isle Club and pool. The food was delicious at the Isle Restaurant. Such a nice benefit to staying at this condo. Enjoyed relaxing on the porch swing and watching the turtles. Joe was so nice to work with. We're looking forward to our next visit. Thanks again!

Absolutely wonderful vacation condo/home. It was beautiful! Couldn't have felt more at home than here. Everything at your finger tips. Kitchen immaculately furnished. Furnishings just beautiful and spotless! Plenty of beach furniture. Had my parents for a 60th anniversary celebration. The floor plan and elevator was perfect for them and us as well. They loved it. The owners were so helpful. We have found new friends!! Would recommend this to anyone. Can't wait to go back again.

Owner response:Thanks so much!

A relaxing time at the Beach

Date of Stay: 09/07/11 Review Submitted: 11/01/11

This was a great getaway vacation for us and our friends. We enjoyed the sunrise and sunsets on the beach, playing botchy ball, and collecting shells on our long walks up and down the shoreline. Everything was convenient from the Condo. The pier, tennis courts, ice cream shop and of course the beautiful clubhouse with pool, hot tub and restaurant. The hardest part was packing up and leaving. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Owner response:Thanks!

A wonderful place to relax

Date of Stay: 08/17/11 Review Submitted: 11/06/11

It was more than we expected and perfect for our family. Having beach chairs easily available as part of the rental was a bonus and made going to the beach even more enjoyable. Beautiful condo, very nicely decorated and very nice furniishings. It was very relaxing and had plenty of room for all of us (2 adults, 3 teens) in the family room, yet everyone had their own room to retreat to - really we couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. Have rented condos in the past and this exceeded our expectations and what we have experienced before, was very well maintained and was very competitively priced as well. Had all the amenities of home except the stress! We plan on coming back again - the location was perfect, close to Myrtle Beach and shopping, short walk to the beach, very spacious, and even had cable and internet for both staying connected to work and friends while vacationing. We have already recommended this place to our friends, the owners were very helpful in answering our questions and very prompt in getting back with us. The pictures didn't do it justice - the condo is much nicer than they truly can show. We cannot wait to go back and recommend it highly. Just don't rent it the week we want it!

Owner response:Thanks for your visit!

Our family loved OIB! It was our first time and definitely not our last! We will be back, we loved it here. We played Putt-Putt and ate ice cream at Island Creamery. We loved the beach and the pool. We had a wonderful family vacation. Thank you, your place was perfect!

My family and I had a terrific week at OIB. It was our first visit to this beach. We have been to Myrtle many times, but with a family of young children I was looking for something a little less crowded and relaxing. We found it here. We have a large family and we were all able to fit in this large condo with room to spare. Every bedroom having a bathroom was so nice. The swing on the back deck was a favorite to all. The beaches weren't crowded and the pool had plenty of room to accomodate everyone. We also enjoyed the tennis courts. The small town had great places to eat. We did go into Myrtle for some other activities, and the drive there was not bad at all. Everyone we met at OIB were friendly and helpful. We felt like we were welcomed and part of the community. We hope to return soon!

We enjoyed this condo and found it to be everything as it was described. The owner was very responsive to all requests for information. The place was clean and well furnished. It is close to the beach and to the pool and restaurant. I would ask to stay there if I would return there in the future. I would also recommend to others how may be visiting this area.

This condo is awesome; it's spacious,clean, and beautifully decorated. It was so nice to not have to pack any beach gear either. Super convenient having the storage closet with everything you need already there. The owners are simply wonderful to work with. They responded to my inquiry almost immediately and continued to be readily available whether it was answering my questions or just suggesting restaurants for us. I would recommend this condo to anyone. Go - you will love it!

We loved our stay at Ocean Isle Beach. The condo was clean, beautifully furnished, and had lots of personality. It is a short walk to the beach and even though we had two grandchildren (age 1 and 3) it was easy to do with the beach type stroller provided. The owners are great to work with. We hope to stay again next year.

We rented this condo for a wedding that was being held nearby on a weekend in October, and it was absolutely wonderful. The unit was extremely clean and exactly as described on this website. The owner was extremely accommodating to ensure that all of our needs were addressed, and I would be more than happy to return. In fact, a future summer week trip to OIB is being considered and this will be one of the first places we check for availability. I highly recommend it.

Our family had to make some last minute plans for a friends wedding recently and Joe and Barb were very quick to respond regarding the availability of their Villa. They were quick to answer any questions that we had and were very helpful! The Villa is described perfectly! It is a beautiful place, with a nice serene place to sit and relax on the back porch next to the lagoon (the porch swing made it even more relaxing!) The bedrooms were nicely decorated and they matched the descriptions perfectly. We walked to the Isles restaurant which has fantastic food, and has a Tiki Bar and pool. Overall, we had a wonderful weekend and would highly reccomend this property to our friends & relatives and would love to visit again!

We traveled to OIB 7/10/10 thru 7/17/10. We have a family of four children ranging from 20 to 6yrs. In addition, Grandma came too. The condo was beautiful and very spacious. It is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities you would ask for. We really loved having four bathrooms as our traveling family consisted of 4 girls! We had wonderful weather and utilized the condo's beach chairs every day. In the evening, it is nice to sit out on the porch swing. The condo also has a washer and dryer in the unit which really comes in handy with children. We hope to come visit again...wish our stay had been longer!

My family and I can't say enough good things about this condo. Location was great. Condo was just as advertised. Clean, plenty room, good kitchen supplies. We loved the front porch - swing and chairs available. Unit came with umbrellas and beach chairs, so you didn't have to bring your own. Unit owner was extremely helpful, and answered any questions immediately. I would recommend unit to anyone looking for space and comfort.

The listing did not over state the property's appearance and amenities, which were great. In addition to a great place to stay, you get the help of the owners, Joe and Barb, who were most responsive and helpful before and during our stay. A great vacation value. We hope to return.

Our family just enjoyed a great week in this condo. It is close to beach, pool, restaurant, and tennis. The condo is extremely well stocked with anything you might need, from beach gear to cookware. We wanted for nothing this week! We searched many condos before blindly choosing this one...and we would stay again if given the chance! You will not be sorry with your choice! The owners are very accommodating and even helped to suggest local attractions, stores, etc.

You Will Love This Condo

Guest: Wendy Sue (Charlotte, NC)
Date of Stay: 05/27/10 Review Submitted: 06/04/10

We love staying at this condo when we come to Ocean Isle. It has everything you need. It is beautifully decorated, has a fully stocked kitchen, and comfortably sleeps eight. No need to bring all your beach gear. They provide beach chairs, umbrellas, and anything else you need for the beach. You will find a television in every room and reliable Internet access. My favorite is the back porch with a swing. And just a short, easy walk to the beach. Mostly we just love our time spent here. Mornings are peaceful enjoying a cup of coffee, reading the paper or a favorite book, and watching the lagoon turtles. In the evenings after grilling a delicious dinner, we sit on the back porch with a glass of wine soaking in the famous OIB sunsets. The mood they have created is one of relaxation and comfort. You will enjoy every moment you spend here. Wishing we were there right now!!

This condo was everything it said it was and more. Very well stocked kitchen. Nice not to have to bring our own beach chairs along. They have covered all the basis. All you have to do, is sign up. Enjoyed sitting on the back deck each evening with our friends listening to the fountain. Nice having our own bathrooms and TV in each room. Received our deposit check back within the first week home. Joe was especially easy to work with. Would like to be able to return. Plenty to do for all ages.

We were lucky enough to choose this condo for our family's Thanksgiving getaway. It is not your standard rental. You actually feel as though you are in someone's home. The furnishings and decor are all very upscale, especially the fabulous modern kitchen where we easily found all the things we needed to cook a traditional holiday feast. The Wifi even allowed some cyber Christmas shoppers in our midst to get a jump on holiday bargains. The elevator was a HUGE plus, not only for loading and unloading but for the one member of our family who was unfortunately on crutches during the trip. And how tranquil to sit on the porch swing and listen to the fountain! On a scale of 1 - 10 we rate the location a solid 10, especially when you consider the value rental price. We definitely hope to stay again.

This spacious condo is as stunning as described. It is spotless, beautifully decorated, with comfortable beds and every need provided for our stay. And not only is it close to grocery stores, but also an easy, short walk to the beach. The fountain in the canal outside the porch added a lot to the ambiance, as did the wonderful porch swing. Even though it was only one story up, an elevator right near the condo front door made getting settled easy! We look forward to returning another time.

This condo has everything - quiet area, convenient to beach (short walk), very nicely arranged, and clean, clean, clean, and resort amenities (which we did not use). The place looks almost brand new. Every bedroom has its own private bath, the kitchen is very modern, and there is a enough room to spread out and relax. The swing overlooking the fountain was perfect - even the kids enjoyed it. We really enjoyed our short time down at Ocean Isle. The beach was perfect, the weather was very nice, and we had a nice place to stay. The owner (Joe) was extremely helpful; he was easy to contact through email or phone and a pleasure to work with. Overall the stay was one of the best stays ever. We will be coming back.

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at your condo at Ocean Isle beach this past week. It was more than we expected and wanted to thank you for renting to us. We had everything we needed and the kitchen was awesome and equipped with all we needed. Not sure if we will be vacationing next summer or not, but will definitely recommend to our friends and family and keep it on our list to visit again. Thank you again and I hope you have a blessed year.

Beautiful and very clean condo. The owners were very accommodating-making sure we had everything we needed. Nice deck out back to sit in the evening and relax. Really liked that all four bedrooms had their own bathrooms, as well. This is a great spot for a family vacation. We loved that the pool overlooked the beach. We were able to find a nice spot at the pool and walk down to the beach without the commitment of chairs, umbrellas, etc. (although they are provided if you choose to use them). We especially like that we could walk to the beach/pool in just a few minutes or there was ample parking if we choose to drive. Drove down from New York. It was a very long drive but the beautiful spot and great condo made it very worthwhile.

Wow! What a wonderful condo! Our family has been vacationing at Ocean Isle for the last 20 years and this was by far the best accomadation we have ever had. We loved the space, cleanliness, tasteful decor and peaceful deck with porch swing. The beach gear was also a huge plus and saved us alot of packing and space. The pool was large and a hit with our little guy. Thanks for such a fabulous experience!
