Very nice beach house, well stocked. Incredible view from the master bed - you just want to lay there all day! Plus there's plenty of outdoor seating on the various decks to enjoy the ocean while having some privacy from other guests, or switch decks from AM to PM depending if you want to follow the sun or hide from it. Beach itself is very clean and plenty of sand now. Beds and linens are all nice. You can see both sunrise (a bit obstructed by the house next to it) and sunset (unobstructed) over the ocean, as the house faces south. It's maybe 4 miles away from "town" near the end of the island, which makes it quiet but not convenient to shopping/food.

This is an amazing location and a great house. Definitely hoping to stay again in the future! Down away from all the noise and the part of beach was much less crowded. They have tons of chairs and beach stuff available. Lotssss of parking. And everything else you need for a great stay. Nice hosts and easy to communicate with.

Perfect Spring Break

Great location and house for multi family trip!

This was our family’s first time visiting OIB and we loved this rental property! The location next to the public access was incredibly convenient, and having porch options on either side of the house worked well to always have a shady, breezy spot no matter what time of day it was. The home is well-stocked and had plenty of supplies and amenities.

Perfect vacation week

Property was clean upon arrival and exactly as described. Location to beach is unbeatable- so convenient with little kids and frequent trips back and forth from the beach. Great outdoor space on decks to enjoy and still feel “on the beach”while babies napping and perfect for morning coffee and evening dinners. We will definitely be back!

We had a great family vacation here. House, furnishings, beach access, sand toys, beach chairs, grill - games - you name it! We will return! We had to adjust the schedule a little but Connie was a pleasure to make it right.

Glad to hear you enjoyed our home and that you will consider renting again. It's always great to have our renters return. Thanks also for leaving the house in great condition. This makes our job easier in preparing for our next guests. We try very hard, especially in the summer months, to get you in before traffic builds on the island with late afternoon check-ins. Enjoy the remainder of your summer!

Wonderful home on the beach

We used to bring our kids who are all adults now to Ocean Isle Beach when they were younger. We have never stayed on this end of Ocean Isle Beach but absolutely love it! The home is well-kept and well appropriated and offers ample deck space for meals outside in the sun or shade! The beds were comfy and kitchen well stocked! Having linens included was a plus!

Words can not even begin to describe how incredible our stay has been. The home is magnificently beautiful, private and peaceful.

This house is a little chunk of heaven!!
