About this property

Beach? Canal? No need to choose -- You can have it all!

This spacious, well-appointed 4 bedroom, 4 bath house is ready and waiting for your group of 12 or less.

Whether you're looking for a short getaway, a full- blown vacation or somewhere you can work-learn and play, this is the house for you!

High speed 5g wireless internet, a quiet space with a large desk and chair and learning space at the kitchen island or large table make it all possible.

When it's time to play, there's a canal and private dock just steps out the back door. You can enjoy a swim or a place to dock your boat or one of the two kayaks, included with this property. It's a very short boat ride to the Intracoastal Waterway. The handicap beach access is an easy and short 5 minute (or less) walk away. (use our large beach wagon to haul your beach essentials or any of the umbrellas or chairs we provide.)

The open floor plan main living area Includes a large dining table, breakfast bar, wet bar, and fully equipped kitchen (remodelled in early 2023). A gas fireplace is wonderful for cool mornings and winter evenings. There is an assortment of board games and jigsaw puzzles to enjoy.

If you are in need of some “chill time”, take advantage of the outdoor spaces including an upper deck (with retractable awning). It’s a great place to lounge in the sun, read a good book, nap or sip coffee or cocktails. And the beautiful view makes it a good spot to work from, as well - if you must! Yoga enthusiasts tell us it's the perfect spot to start the day while enjoying the sound of our deep toned wind chimes and the gurgling water feature on ground floor.

On the ground level you’ll enjoy a porch swing, covered seating, a tiki bar with swinging hammock chairs and a small pond and water feature. Organize a cornhole tournament (we have 2 sets) if competition is your thing. For mealtime, a charcoal grill is available. A fourth bathroom located on ground floor makes a great place to shower after a swim or a trip to beach.

.And if you still need more to keep everyone busy, enjoy some ping pong, air hockey or foosball in the garage! (perfect for rainy day entertainment!)

There's an elevator that's handy for folks with mobility challenges, families with small children or hauling in luggage or a week's worth of groceries!! Our elevator is professionally serviced and safety-inspected regularly.

If Ocean Isle Beach is calling your name, pack your bags, leave your troubles at home and head this way for your stay in our little piece of paradise!

About the host

Host profile image
.My husband and I look forward to hosting you and your group at our family's beach house, The Glass Menagerie.

The house got it's name in a nod to an old movie, since my family's name is Glass......and over the years we've grown to become quite the "menagerie"!

We've had so many fun and memorable times in this house, which has always been filled with family and friends, laughter, love and good times! Until fairly recently, my parents resided in the house. After their health situation required a move to a smaller home, we decided to share this one with other families.

We hope you'll make your own memories here, seize the day and spend some special time in a place we truly consider paradise. Come visit OIB if you can. We'll make sure the Glass Menagerie is ready and waiting to welcome you!
