Ocean Glen is a wonderful place to vacation. If you like noisy condos and crowded beaches --- this AIN"T the place for you. My family and I have been coming here for several years now and we always experience total relaxation and comfort. The owners are wonderful to work with and the Townhome is immaculate. Thanks for opening your home-away-from home to others, like myself, to be blessed.

My family rented Ocean Glen the second week of July 2011. I must admit, at first I was nervous about using VRBO. However the owners made the experience stress and worry free! I was concerned about staying in a condo, we're used to renting homes in Emerald Isle. This condo was quiet, well kept, clean, and had everything that we could have needed and more. PKS is close to both Emerald Isle and Atlantic Beach, but has it's own uncrowded private feel. Even mid-summer the beaches and pool were never crowded. Even though it is a condo unit you can still enjoy peace and quiet. All the other guests and owners were kind, polite, and family oriented. In the evenings the view of the moon, lighthouse, and sounds of the nature preserve just next door were terrific! We hope to return as a family in the near future. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with our family. Sincerely, Folks from Ohio

We rented this unit over the Memorial Day weekend for an extended weekend. We enjoyed the layout of the condo as well as it's location. It was the ideal place for our weekend getaway. We had a slight problem with the AC unit on the first day but as soon as I notified the owners they were in contact with maintenance and had them on-site within the hour. The maintenance man was able to quickly identify and resolve the issue. We didn't miss a beat during the vacation due to the quick response of the owners. They kept in contact with us to ensure the issue was resolved and that we were able to continue happily with our vacation. We will definitely rent this unit again and would recommend the unit to families and friends! You definitely must have a shrimp burger from Big Oak Drive-In - call ahead as they are ver popular and very busy! I would also recommend Flipperz back in Emerald Isle - they have and excellent tuna sandwich!! Whether you are a group of friends or a family you will truly enjoy this rental unit! It's clean, well maintained and very inviting!

We don't want to tell anyone how excellent this property and condo is. We want to keep it all for ourselves so we can rent it every time we want a great vacation. Everything is wonderfully maintained. Very comfortable. Feels like home.

We drove 11 hours to get here and it was well worth it. We are glad to see that this adventure to a new place turned out to be a relaxing vacation. Great fishing, lots of shells, tons of fun. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. The house is beautiful. We hope to come back next year.

Thank you for enabling us to use your lovely home. We felt very comfortable and found everything just right. The location was fabulous. We loved the peace and quiet, walks on the beach, trips around the area. We would love to come again.

We were so happy to have been able to rent your beach home. It is beautifully furnished and so well kept! We've stayed in Atalantic Beach for the past 10 years or so, but have fallen in love with the uncrowded beach and the serenity of Ocean Glen and Pine Knoll Shores – we will be visiting again. Thank you for making your home so inviting by making everything we could possibly need already here waiting for us when we arrived – we really appreciated it.

(Darlene and Bill have been renting from us every year since 1998). We love your NC home. Thanks for sharing it with us. It is decorated with such good taste and so clean. We love the new floors and windows. Thank you again for letting us use your NC home. Our whole family was together to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It was the perfect place to celebrate.

Little did I realize when I casually "dropped" in on yuor web site that I was truly finding a little slice of heaven. Tasteful, yet fun! From the delicious driftwood gracing the parking area to the well appointed interior and the comfortable "feel" of your beach home, I say WAHOO!! I look forward to returning. Thanks for all your considerations and hospitality!

When the rental near my parents house fell through, we hit the net and found this townhouse. It exceeded our expectations!! So clean and nicely appointed. The kids loved the floor plan, and had a great time being able to go to the beach at any moment and they did at least twice a day. The reason for our trip was to celebrate my grandmother's 90th birthday. My sister and here family came in from Alaska and stayed with the parents in PKS. We were able to get together several times over the week. But the best part was our kids having such great access to the ocean and the beach. They swam and splashed with fish and dolphins upon occasion. Castles were built and holes were dug. Shells were amassed and bikes were ridden We feel very fortunate to have ended up here – we had a great time and are looking forward to coming back in the future. Thanks for letting us stay here. Best regards, Travis, Amanda, Emma, Mae, Bailey, Atticus and Savannah

We all just love Ocean Glen. Your vacation home is so comfortable, clean and we really enjoyed our stay. It was so nice to have a pool and a beautiful beach. We could hear the ocean and the birds from the reserve next door. It was wonderful!

We drove 16 hours straight to your lovely place I had “randomly” picked off the internet. We were delighted it is such a clean and tasteful relaxing place. The weather, beach, pool and house were all perfect. We did all the “touristy” things yet felt most relaxed on the beach right outside your door. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful condo with our family. Very much worth the long drive!! We hate to leave.
