About this property

BURDEN'S END in OIB - 3 minutes to sand!

Life is too short to be structured all the time, so come visit Burden’s End for a week, a month, or just a long weekend. Being so close to the beach (under 3 minutes to sand!) is priceless!!

Some of our specialties:
• Stand-alone home, 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a half bath, and an outdoor shower with hot and cold water. See the floor plans in the pics to decide which room has YOUR name on it!
• Beds are made with 1500 thread count sheets and towels are out for everyone. You drive up, unload, and start enjoying your guests, Burden’s End is ready for you all
• Outdoor shower is not just for rinsing off the sand. Hot and cold water expands your showers to 4. Nothing better than to feel the breeze around your ankles while showering outside.
• Both a coffee pot and a 1 cup Keurig coffee maker for the few and the many. Bring your favorite brew
• Blender extraordinaire for those beach drinks you have been dreaming about
• Super well stocked kitchen with pots and pans from the huge shrimp boil pot to the boiling eggs size and everything in between, leave yours at home
• Casserole baking dishes, utensils, plates, and glasses for all. And a dishwasher that runs like a charm so you don’t have to worry!
• Flat electric griddle for those special dinners, in addition to the stove and microwave
• Full fridge and freezer in the kitchen and a small undercounter fridge upstairs in the wet-bar to keep the drinks cold and ready
• TVs in every bedroom and great room (5 in all) to satisfy the tastes of all your guests
• Side table in the living room for puzzles that keep you part of the crowd but removed for puzzling
• Gates are installed at the top of the first-floor porch steps to keep all where they should be; also, at the top of the second-floor stairs, as well. There is a gate to set up at the foot of the inside stairs to keep little explorers where you can see them
• Tide Clock by the front door to alert you to the best times for beach combing (falling tide) and for sand castle building; but really any time is the best time for the beach
• 2 adult cruiser bicycles, boogie boards, beach chairs, beach toys for digging and sand castle making, beach pull-cart to get everything to and from the beach along with a charcoal grill in the shed
• Comfortable gathering spots on the upper back porch (overlooking the ocean), the upper front porch (overlooking the Intercoastal Waterway and Marsh), on the first-floor back porch for lunches and breakfasts, the first-floor front porch to watch the world go by and the hammock and outdoor gathering spot on the ground floor under the house for more intimate chats and reminiscing.

Take a look at our amenities and reviews and ask any questions. If our schedule does not seem to fit yours, then ask. It never hurts to ask. Once you choose Burden's End, you will not be disappointed.

Relaxing getaway
Our plans changed a bit, so there were only four of us instead of six. So we had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the beautiful house and porches! Loved the decor and the kitchen was well-equipped. Great location and close to the beach. Owner was wonderful to work with and we appreciated all of the little extras, very thoughtful and welcoming😊 We’ll plan to be back and next time stay longer and have the whole group!

Great outdoor spaces! Well stocked kitchen!
The pictures and description of the property were very accurate- absolutely no disappointment! We were especially thrilled over the outdoor spaces and wide rocking chair front porch! We thoroughly enjoyed taking in the beautiful sunset each evening! The large farm table seating in the dining area was ideal for a family with little ones! They loved the long bench were they could easily access the table yet still hang out with the big people. And the bunk beds were I big hit! Highly recommend this rental, especially if you have little ones!

The Beach with Family
We had a very enjoyable time at Burden's End with our family. Our check in was seamless and communication was very easy with our hosts. The home was just right for our family of 10 which included six of our grandchildren and they really had a great time. The beach was really accessible just around the corner to the entrance. Ocean Isle was very tourist friendly with activities for us to do with the kids. We hope to return one day. Thanks Martha and Mark.

About the host

Hosted by Marty Craft-Essig

Host profile image
Mark is a “com-ya” and Marty is a “been-ya” from the Carolinas and together we discovered OIB. Marty grew up in South Carolina but her family comes from Wilmington and the surrounding beaches. Mark immigrated from Ohio and got here as quickly as he could! We live and work in the Charleston, SC area now but get to our own part of paradise as much as possible. We named our property Burden’s End because when you cross over the causeway bridge heading onto the Island, that is exactly what happens. Your burdens end right there, not to be picked back up until long after you return home. Our friends have a saying on their wall that “everything can be cured with salt water; tears, sweat and the sea”. Nothing truer can be said. We enjoy sharing our home with others who appreciate all that OIB has to offer.

Why they chose this property

OIB was a perfect fit in that we were looking for a quieter beach that still had amenities to enjoy. OIB is family oriented with many festivals, parades, markets, miniature golf (no monsters allowed!), restaurants, fishing & boating opportunities and the best all-around “convenience” store in Sheffield’s that you could ever want. Once you’ve stayed at OIB you become part of a very unique community. Burden’s End is literally steps from the beach and located just a couple of blocks from a hidden marsh trail that gets you up close with nature few ever experience. And when it is time to socialize a little, salute the sun as it goes down from the upper decks with your own favorite concoction in hand. It’s all good.

What makes this property unique

The house itself is comfortably laid out so many can gather without being on top of each other. While there are large gathering areas for games, eating, watching TV or visiting, there are also little nooks where a few can get away for quieter conversations, reading or relaxation. With a bedroom suite on the first floor, and the other 3 bedrooms upstairs, different generations or families can set their own pace for their stay. The grounds are lushly landscaped with palm trees that let you know you are indeed in a very special environment. Come see what Burden’s End is all about. Where magic abounds if you let your imagination roam free.
