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.

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.

Loved this house, it is so cute and very clean. The owner was amazing about communication and we had a great time. Only unexpected we had was the 2 twin beds. They're more roll away cots, which wasn't a huge issue since we had real beds for everyone staying the whole week. But they will be against the main beds if you try to put one out in the bedroom. And adults may not be comfortable on them. Would definitely stay here again!

Ocean View was great for our family vacation this summer. Steve Martin was great and answered all my questions during our stay. We all had a great time. The house had plenty of hot water at all times for showers. And the AC worked great all week. It was a really hot week outdoors and we were all thankful for the cool house to come back to. Check in was super easy and wifi worked great also. Its in a great location on the beach and we even were able to witness baby turtles being born and returning to the ocean.

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.

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!!
