We really enjoyed our stay. The host was super prompt in helpful each time we reached out to them. We loved looking at all of the coastal decor and enjoyed the overall layout of the house. The pier really added to our experience. We drove a pontoon boat up to the swim platform, fished, crabbed, and hung out under the covered pier. We appreciated the tips of things to do in the area. We walked the beaches, swam, golfed, and tested out several local ice cream spots!

Perfect OIB Getaway

Perfect house to enjoy OIB, the activity of the waterway and fishing off the dock a night. Great to be back on the NC coast!

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Jul 2025
We are glad you enjoyed your stay. It's much better than the horrific traffic on and off the OIB island itself. I like watching all those cars in line trying to get to their rental units from the cool, shaded dock house on top of the ICW.

Peaceful Water View

The property owner was very friendly and made sure we had what we needed, plus shared some tips. The home was clean and the open concept first floor was great for hanging out. The neighborhood was quiet and it was really nice to be on the waterway- made for a very relaxing getaway. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck watching boats go by.

Thank you Erin and family. Having a large family, we designed this home to be inviting, comfortable and open for togetherness. The boating parade is every day, fishing is great too. Looking forward to having you back very soon.

There are so many things to like about this property! First, the communication was top notch - I am always impressed when owners reach out prior to my trips. The owner was so thoughtful about our experience, and was very accommodating. Overall, the house was really clean. The view was absolutely spectacular! Loved watching sunrises and sunsets on the dock. Plenty of space in each of the rooms. Tons of blankets and sheets. Lots of board games and card games. The televisions worked great - very nice to have different options in each room. The couches were SO comfortable! Overall, my family really enjoyed staying here and we would absolutely stay here again!

Pop & NeNe Finally Get Away

My wife and I arrived to the property on Saturday afternoon around 4:30 pm. The view was amazing looking upon the intercostal waterway. A nice long wooden walkway led us to a covered sitting area. We enjoy fishing and spent several mornings and evenings enjoying a nice bottom rig bite of flounder, crockers, and black drum. There was also a floating dock attached near the end of the pier. This could easily be a great access for docking your own boat or possibly a rented pontoon from just south of this property location, close to Sunset Beach. The kitchen provides all the kitchen essentials. Residential size refrigerator can easily hold enough food for a larger family the entire week. Great access to food Lion at Sunset or Publix and Lowe’s Foods near OIB. Great children activity area and splash pad is very convenient at OIB. There is also a full size fishing pier located at OIB with pay to park access to the beautiful Ocean Isle Beach. The neighborhood is older but very quiet. No issues with leaving fishing’s rods and chairs outside to dry off from wash down. Fort Fisher is just 1.5 hrs north along Hwy 17 just outside Wilmington. There is wonderful aquarium there for all ages. On the return a quick stop along Hwy 421 north is one of NC best kept historical sites- the USS North Carolina. My family and I had a very restful week and exciting time watching our grandchildren enjoy one of NC’s most beautiful beaches. We highly recommend!

We stayed for a week. The house was as described and very clean. We loved that it was pet friendly. Neighbors dog however came into the yard odd leash several times and they did not pick up after their dog. Bigger dog so be aware if you have a small dog. House was beautiful. Pier could use some work but it seemed safe enough at the moment and we enjoyed fishing off the pier. Host was fantastic! Communication was exceptional! We would absolutely stay here again.
