We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was exactly what you picture when you think of a cozy beach getaway. Super clean, comfortable, and the location honestly couldn’t have been better. Being able to walk right out and be at the beach in minutes was such a win.The views were beautiful, especially in the mornings and evenings, and the whole place just had that relaxing, peaceful vibe we needed. The AC worked great (which is a must at the beach!), and everything was well taken care of.You can tell the host really cares about the space and the guests’ experience. We felt right at home the entire time. Definitely one of those places you don’t want to leave and we’ll for sure be back!

Ideal location right on beach. Place was clean and had all the amenities. The deck and walkway to beach are not 1 -2 year old friendly, but other than that we had an awesome time.

Older but kept up nicely. This is our 2nd time staying here. Can't beat the location! Close to town center and ocean front is incredible. We were able to check in a bit early which was great. It is only 1 house down from a beach access so beach gets a bit crowded. Outdoor shower is nice. Kitchen is stocked w/ whatever you need.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Martin

Host profile image
I started restoring the Ocean View in 1986. It's been a joy through the years, bringing it up to date for my family, friends and vacationers to enjoy. That same year, the new bridge over the Intercoastal Waterway opened! ....no more waiting at drawbridge! Please contact me if you have any questions after you book your vacation!

Why they chose this property

Right on the Atlantic Ocean and close to the Ocean Isle Beach pier, Town Center Park, shopping, restaurants, bars and Town of Ocean Isle Beach. There is a sidewalk at the house leading to downtown. I will make sure the house is clean and ready when you arrive. I am also easy to reach should you have a question or a problem. The best way to reach me is my cell phone. I also text.

What makes this property unique

The Ocean View is unique because this type of cottage is rarely found at Ocean Isle Beach. Sit on the covered porch and watch the sunrise & sunset!!
