This is a great little condo with a prime location at OIB. Everything was clean and comfortable and I had a lovely stay. It was so nice to be able to walk from the front door to the sand in 30 seconds! Also right across the street is Drift Coffee, another great amenity. I definitely recommend this place!

About the host

Hosted by Francie Dunlap

Host profile image
I'm a former homeschool mom who just moved off the farm into a neighborhood with a pool in Charlotte. Former research biochemist, currently a website designer and food truck leasing business owner.

I also rent out a condo at Sugar Mountain, NC (vrbo.com/2060546)

I'm a neat, organized guest and host. Not a picky eater, love new experiences!

Why they chose this property

LOVE THE BEACH! I used to rent out a couple condos in Gulf Shores, Alabama that were in my family for 20+ years. I sold those and bought this one because it's closer to home.

What makes this property unique

The town of Ocean Isle Beach is the best little ocean town in the south! My condo is right next to everything I want to do, and the people are wonderful! You can be as active or relaxed as you want here.
I <3 OIB!
