Great beach house

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.

Great time!

We had a wonderful time here! The location is perfect. The house is as described and well stocked. Communication with the owner was top notch. The internal walls are a little thin but that's to be expected with older homes.

Great beach location

I have nothing negative to say about this property or it's owner. This wasn't our first time staying here and it definitely won't be our last time. Several upgrades have been done on the property, and they are great! See you next time....

Excellent accommodation!

Very comfortable and good location! Steve our host was very accommodating and thorough in his communications. Nothing fancy or elaborate. Could use some upgrading. WI-FI is particularly weak.We likely would be willing to return.

First time!

This was our first visit to this beach. We even met the owner because he was making a repair the day we started our stay. The cleaner had an emergency and he drove all the way from the western part of NC to clean for us! The beach is small and everything is accessible. The cottage was great!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Martin

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.
