About this property

Beach? Canal? No need to choose -- You can have it all!

This spacious, well-appointed 4 bedroom, 4 bath house is ready and waiting for your group of 12 or less.

Whether you're looking for a short getaway, a full- blown vacation or somewhere you can work-learn and play, this is the house for you!

High speed 5g wireless internet, a quiet space with a large desk and chair and learning space at the kitchen island or large table make it all possible.

When it's time to play, there's a canal and private dock just steps out the back door. You can enjoy a swim or a place to dock your boat or one of the two kayaks, included with this property. It's a very short boat ride to the Intracoastal Waterway. The handicap beach access is an easy and short 5 minute (or less) walk away. (use our large beach wagon to haul your beach essentials or any of the umbrellas or chairs we provide.)

The open floor plan main living area Includes a large dining table, breakfast bar, wet bar, and fully equipped kitchen (remodelled in early 2023). A gas fireplace is wonderful for cool mornings and winter evenings. There is an assortment of board games and jigsaw puzzles to enjoy.

If you are in need of some “chill time”, take advantage of the outdoor spaces including an upper deck (with retractable awning). It’s a great place to lounge in the sun, read a good book, nap or sip coffee or cocktails. And the beautiful view makes it a good spot to work from, as well - if you must! Yoga enthusiasts tell us it's the perfect spot to start the day while enjoying the sound of our deep toned wind chimes and the gurgling water feature on ground floor.

On the ground level you’ll enjoy a porch swing, covered seating, a tiki bar with swinging hammock chairs and a small pond and water feature. Organize a cornhole tournament (we have 2 sets) if competition is your thing. For mealtime, a charcoal grill is available. A fourth bathroom located on ground floor makes a great place to shower after a swim or a trip to beach.

.And if you still need more to keep everyone busy, enjoy some ping pong, air hockey or foosball in the garage! (perfect for rainy day entertainment!)

There's an elevator that's handy for folks with mobility challenges, families with small children or hauling in luggage or a week's worth of groceries!! Our elevator is professionally serviced and safety-inspected regularly.

If Ocean Isle Beach is calling your name, pack your bags, leave your troubles at home and head this way for your stay in our little piece of paradise!

This was our second time staying at this property. It is a beautiful, well-maintained home. It is the most well-equipped home we have ever stayed in. It has everything you could ever want/need. We enjoyed kayaking and fishing in the canal. The beach is a short walk away and the owners provided chairs, umbrellas, wagon, etc. We also took advantage of using the many games they offered such as ping pong, corn hole, and jenga. We appreciated the extra touches such as a well-stocked welcome basket that included a hand painted Christmas ornament. We look forward to returning again next year and highly recommend this property for anyone considering a stay at Ocean Isle.

We had a fantastic stay here. The property was even better than the pictures/description. The hosts thought of everything guests might need to enjoy time at OIB. Incredibly well stocked - you can tell this is not just a "rental property." The property is airy, yet cozy. Plenty of outdoor seating options to take advantage of the day. We really enjoyed the water feature as well. This is definitely a property that we will stay at again!

We booked this over a year in advance and never once had an issue with communication or the payment schedule! Things to note for future travelers: elevator goes to all floors which is awesome for heavy luggage and those with disabilities. Don’t forget your bed linens bath towels/washcloths and shampoo/conditioner.Home equipped with all other needed things plus more! Best beach wagon ever and short walk to beach. Beach access offered free handicap parking and ramp - perfect for my elderly parents!The large upstairs bedroom is perfect for a couple sharing the King bed with 2 kids/younger adults in the twin beds separated by a curtain. 2nd upstairs bedroom has a King bed. 2 baths and washer/dryer on top level. The home is perfectly located on the canal! We enjoyed cooking meals together in the large kitchen and on the charcoal grill. The owners of the Glass Menagerie have thought of everything to ensure a fabulous getaway!! The layout and amenities made for the best vacation for our large family!

About the host

Hosted by Ronda Wilson

Host profile image
.My husband and I look forward to hosting you and your group at our family's beach house, The Glass Menagerie.

The house got it's name in a nod to an old movie, since my family's name is Glass......and over the years we've grown to become quite the "menagerie"!

We've had so many fun and memorable times in this house, which has always been filled with family and friends, laughter, love and good times! Until fairly recently, my parents resided in the house. After their health situation required a move to a smaller home, we decided to share this one with other families.

We hope you'll make your own memories here, seize the day and spend some special time in a place we truly consider paradise. Come visit OIB if you can. We'll make sure the Glass Menagerie is ready and waiting to welcome you!
