‘24 Family Vacation
We really love the stretch of land between Carolina Beach and Charleston. Vacationed at a dozen places in between and found this house to be big enough for our family and centrally located whether we wanted to go to Southport and take the ferry over to Carolina Beach or a quick ride into Myrtle Beach or Wilmington. This place fit us perfectly. We also love just staying local and checking out everything ocean Isle had to offer. We loved it and will come again.

We stayed for 1 week with family. The teenagers enjoyed the location and the walkability. Beach access was easier than expected. The property manager was very communicative. You could literally show up with clothes and have everything you need. Fantastic home.

What a week!
Ocean Isle Beach is beautiful in itself but add Happy Hours and it made a very memorable vacation. The home was beautiful, well stocked kitchen and pool/beach necessities and the location was perfect. The park, museum, mini golf, stores, beach were all in walking distance. We had a large group and the house did not disappoint the crowd. I highly recommend this house for your Ocean Isle stay!

Family Christmas
Had an amazing experience at this property. My family and I were able to enjoy each other in an amazing space. The elevator allowed my grandmother who is wheelchair bound to be a part of the festivities. The only negative would be in checking out. Check out is at 10am. At 10:04 while we were getting in the truck to leave when we we approached to be informed we needed to leave because other people were coming. It was 10:04….

Amazing vacation!!!
We had a w wonderful time at this property. We had a total of 19 (including some babies/toddlers) and everyone had plenty of room to relax. Kitchen is stocked, pool and deck are a nice size, house is 2 blocks from the pier, and kayaks and dock were an added bonus. And plenty of covered outdoor deck space to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon cocktails! I highly recommend this house and OIB. Such a quaint beach town.

Family reunion
This is a beautiful facility with comfortable beds and furniture. There are many places to gather both inside and out. The location is an easy walk from beach, shops and playground. The manager is wonderfully responsive. We are a family of avid cooks. The two dish washers and refrigerators were key. Just about any utensil or pot size was available. Some were in rough shape but there were duplicates. Be aware that the captains nook has very narrow beds built into the walls. It was best used for storage or as a last resort. It is not pictured on VRBO. The pool was lovely and supplied with plenty of floats and seating. The best part was definitely working with Alicia. She went above and beyond.

Our 50th Wedding Anniversary
Our stay was Absolutely wonderful!! It was nice to be out of the hubbub of Myrtle Beach area. OI is beautiful, quaint and relaxing. The house is perfect on so many levels that we had a hard time leaving it each day to go to the beach or explore the nearby towns. The kitchen accommodated the eight cooks in the family all at the same time. Fixing meals is together time. The views off the decks are amazing. The pool and house is landscaped with palm trees that blow in the breeze and are lite up at night beautifully to enjoy the sunset and evening. We enjoyed being close to the park and the community events which we enjoyed them from the veranda. We have memories we will carry with us forever 🥰 We hope to be back soon. Thank you OIBHappyHours!

Happy Hour was the perfect location and size for our celebration! The pool was well used along with the beach, community park, and local museums! Mornings and evenings on the porches made for making memories. Lots of music, dancing, conversations and playing games. Canal was the best fishing hole ever!

The Devil's in the Details
This home was in a very nice location - within walking distance to the beach and a really nice playground. The kitchen was well appointed and the double refrigerators were a plus for our large family. We did have some minor issues - our access code didn't work so we had to use the house manager's code to access the property. The internet was out when we arrived but that was rectified quickly. The other issues were mostly cleanliness items - most of the bathrooms could stand to be updated but in the interim all of the toilet seats and shower curtains need to be replaced. We also had to buy mattress and pillow covers because most beds didn't have them. We had an issue with the garbage disposal and the house manager was no help after being notified via call and text that it wasn't working. Overall the house is nice . There was plenty of room for our large family, the balconies are beautiful and provided a lovely outdoor gathering space, the pool and barbeque areas were a hit as well. *Tip - Refer to the room listing on the page versus the floor plan in the photos for an accurate bed count. Rooms 4 and 8 are configured differently than what's shown on the floor plan.

We rented this property at the end of June with our high school friends and their families. It was a perfect house that entertained everyone! The pool was a nice added bonus as we spent a lot of time there after long days at the beach.

Great home and location for an extended family vacation. We have a very close family with a wide range of ages who love to hang together. This house offers plenty of amenities and conveniences for everyone. My daughter chose this for her sweet sixteen gift and it was one of our best vacations ever thanks to a beautiful home and very accommodating owners and property manager who made us feel very welcome! I highly recommend this place without reservation.

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan and/or Dale Martin

Host profile image
We live in Cary, NC - about 3 hours drive from OIB. We are big sports enthusiasts, mostly gravitating towards college sports with split allegiances to UNC, NC State, but also the Panthers and (now) Commanders Our kids are 21, 19 and 14... We have a Goldendoodle named Quincy and a Sheepadoodle named Sunny.

Why they chose this property

We love Ocean Isle Beach for the combination of being a great family beach, it's proximity to attractions in Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, great golf courses and great weather.

Happy Hours is such a fun home with a rich history of families and groups having a great time staying with us over the years.

What makes this property unique

The ability to have your entire family together under one roof with access to everything great about OIB.

The name, Happy Hours, says it all.
