About this property

OIB Canal Home GREAT outdoor spaces(w screen porch), updated LARGE kitchen, DOCK

WHY KNOT? Vacation Home. Bring your boat and dog! New rental in 2020. This open floor plan, renovated home features a spacious 4 bedroom / 2 bathroom plan (plus outdoor shower) that has been expanded (over 1,600 square feet). Why Knot is located on one of OIB’s straight out canals putting you on the Intracoastal Waterway in minutes via your boat or our kayak (included) from your own private dock. There are lots of great spaces to enjoy outside whether it is the screened in porch, open deck to star gaze or the large space under the house with shade all afternoon! And you’re within short walking distance of the new park and concerts, pier, putt-putt, restaurants and activities, and beach, or you can enjoy to quiet and solitude of being near the end of the street.

The tastefully decorated interior features a master bedroom with 1 king and a sitting area looking over the canal. There is a second room with 1 king that also looks over the canal. Enjoy beautiful sunrises from each of these rooms. There are 2 guest rooms. One with 1 queen and 1 twin, and a second large guest room with 1 queen and a twin daybed with a twin trundle. Each bedroom has a full closet. New bedding and frames, new sofa and loveseat, and new smart TV’s (7) in every bedroom, the living room, and on the screened porch. The outdoor living and grilling area under the house make for great relaxing and being able to watch all of your shows and sports from anywhere! The home has a spacious, renovated kitchen with all appliances and just off the kitchen is a main level laundry room with washer and dryer. The kitchen is stocked with all new kitchen utensils, pots, pans and large pots for seafood boils. There is a regular coffee pot and a Keurig. The dining table will seat 6 plus 4 at the bar. New LVP flooring in the main area and master. With ceiling fans in every room and updated smooth ceilings and mouldings, this home provides the best of the traditional beach bungalow with modern finishes and conveniences. For the colder months there’s a gas fireplace in the living room as well.

The exterior features a delightful screened porch just off the living room that looks over the canal with a sofa and two chairs, tv and sunscreens. There is also a main level deck with chairs and a table perfect for cocktails overlooking the canal while you enjoy the stars and the breeze blowing through the palm trees. On the ground level, there’s a spacious, clean and private outdoor shower, locking storage area for tackle, coolers or anything else with an ice maker and extra refrigerator. The cook in your family will enjoy the 4 burner gas grill and 36” gas Blackstone, both adjacent to the seating area under the house and out of the sun or rain. There is ample deck space with 2 picnic tables, bar and bar stools, lounge chairs, rockers and 6 adirondack chairs, and a swing. The dock has a very nice fish cleaning station with fresh water and a fresh water hose for cleaning your boat, toys or flushing your engine. A great house for those that love to fish! The fenced area allows your pets (fee applicable for pets) to roam while you enjoy the deck space, dock and outdoor area under the house. There are crab traps on site and you can crab and fish off of the dock in the natural canal. We also provide beach chairs for your use on the beautiful OIB beaches! Ample parking ensures room for all both in the drive way and under the house.

The golf cart on site is not for guest use nor is it included in the rent, however we’ll be happy to provide info for rental companies that offer golf carts. Please feel free to enjoy the kayak! No linens or towels are provided however we’re happy to refer you to rental companies for this as well. Rental boats, jet skis, kayaks and bikes are all available close by.

This is a water lover’s paradise, close to everything, and very well appointed for your perfect Ocean Isle Beach vacation!

Perfect for us!
Why Knot was the perfect place to stay for us - comfortable for all people and dog, convenient to restaurants, grocery stores and activities. From booking our stay, to time of departure Kristin and Kent kept in touch and were informative. A lovely Welcome note and package greeted us upon arrival. I loved how everything was labeled! ....eliminating guess work. Even a reminder about the full moon and best viewing area truly personalized and considerate. We plan on staying here again! Thanks for sharing Why Knot with us!

Perfect vacation
My family and I had such a good time at “WHY NOT”. We have stayed in several houses at Ocean Isle Beach and this house is top notch. The house was very clean, it’s on a nice canal within walking distance to the beach and the communication with the host was direct and easy. “WHY NOT”, has all the amenities you could ask for. You can definitely tell that the owners take pride in their property. We’re ready for a summer trip when we can enjoy the water. Thanks for trusting us with your beautiful home.

Perfect for Doggie Vacation
Kristen and Kent have a wonderful home with so many amenities.It is right on a canal which we enjoyed-we loved their setup under the house with a bar,TV,chairs etc.It is fenced off and we could just let the dogs roam safely-luckily they are not brave enough to jump in. The house is spacious, beds comfortable.Wish the price included linens/towels but everything else was available. They are surrounded by water-I would suggest renting a golf cart. Their communication is excellent and you will love Ocean isle-they gave us lots of restaurant recommendations and we enjoyed them all.Thanks Kristin and Kent!

About the host

Hosted by Kent and Kristin Couch

Host profile image
Kent and I have been visiting OIB for many years and it has always been a dream to own here. We were married on the beach at OIB and have many fond memories here. We love to travel and have visited many beaches up and down the NC and SC coast and always come back to OIB as our favorite place. We have 3 kiddos in college and high school. We also have several fur babies who love to come to the beach.

Why they chose this property

Kent and I love to be around water whether its on our boat or at the beach. So, we knew we wanted to be on the canal. A west facing house (shade in the hot afternoon) and a natural canal was a plus for us! Plus being at the quieter end of the street but walking distance to concerts, the park and restaurants was another plus. The house was previously owned by full time residents and very well cared for. It feels more like a home than a rental, we just put our beachy touch on it!

What makes this property unique

Spacious 4 / 2 house (typical shot gun house in OIB), renovated, LARGE kitchen, sitting area in master, laundry on main floor, fans and smart TVs in all rooms including screened in porch and under house, screened in porch with shades for morning sun, storage area with ice maker, beach chairs, dock (BRING YOUR BOAT!).
