The house had many issues (mold, mice, condensation from the AC) which the owner addressed as best she could given the circumstances. So thankful for that. But the house was not in a condition to be rented.

A huge storm came through on the first day of this family's stay. It did cause some moisture damage, which I immediately sent over a contractor and the cleaner to get things back in good order for the family. The were unable to use the downstairs portion b/c of the storm damage. I refunded the cost of their stay to make up for not being able to use the downstairs. All of the damage has now been completely repaired. The downstairs has a new air unit, new insulation, and new ceiling. The upstairs has brand new sheetrock in all of the bedrooms. There is no mold or mice. We have pest control come and service regularly because it is an ocean-front coastal property.
This said, these renters stayed the whole time (even though they describe it as in no shape to be rented). Not only did they complete their stay, my next door neighbors as well as the contractor and the cleaner reported that this family had about 25 people using our house each day. The bulk of their family had rented a less expensive house several rows back and they were using our smaller house for the ocean-front location. According to our neighbors, all 25 of their family members had a wonderful time using our house and all of the amenities of our house. They left the house in terrible condition. I hope this review will not discourage any future renters. If you read the reviews before and after, you will see that our house is in great shape and a very nice and well-stocked place to stay.
We loved staying here! Amber was a wonderful host! The house was clean , bright and very welcoming! We loved the amazing ocean views while sitting on the incredible deck! The dolphins entertained us each day while we sat on the beach We made many wonderful memories here!

The stay was amazing. Ashley was a pleasure to work with and very responsive and the house and location was phenomenal. The porch is the diamond and plenty of space for a family of 12
We loved our family (12 of us) vacation at Ocean Isle Beach! The weather was perfect, the beach was great, and the outside deck at our house was wonderfull! Unfortunately, when we arrived, the air conditioner in the downstairs bedroom was broken. Amber, our host, had a portable unit delivered. She was very responsive.The broken air conditioner had led to a damp,mildewy environment downstairs. The bathroom was moldy/mildewy, and Amber sent cleaners later in the week to address that. The ceiling tiles were also moldy and falling down. This is the reason for our poor rating for cleanliness. Our teenage grandchildren were unhappy with the room and tried to spend time upstairs. Upstairs was clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, and we loved that there were so many amenities- beach chairs in good condition, boogie boards, puzzles, games, and books.

Thank you for your honest review. You guys were a pleasure to work with. I do apologize for the downstairs air unit breakdown and the damage it caused. I'm happy to share that the downstairs has a brand new air unit, new ceiling insulation, and brand new ceiling. We hope to host you again in the future!
We really enjoyed our first all family vacation at this property!!!! It was so great having the beach access right out our back door. The home was well maintained and the owner was so easy to work with. We would definitely stay here again if we get back to Ocen Isle.

Amber was great to deal with, very responsive.
Property is just steps to the beach! Felt very safe and not crowded by neighboring homes so great location. Plenty of shops on the island and eateries as well. Only suggestion is to update beach chairs and surf boards/toys.

Thank you for the feedback! We plan to update the beach chairs and toys at the end of Prime season this year. We hope to work with you again in the future!
We spent most of our time on that amazing deck overlooking the beach and enjoying the breeze. It made the stay special. The kitchen and indoor spaces did not offer the same kind of quality or roominess, but overall, the deck made the week a great one.
Everything was wonderful from booking to checkout. Location and beach access was perfect. Not close to public beach access so not crowded. House was small (which we knew)but accommodating for 13 of us. Oceanfront deck was one of the best I saw on the island. Very large, open, and good mix of sun and shade. Plenty of comfortable seating. Host was great. Highly recommend!

This is our second year renting this property and can’t wait to go back. Amber is a Premier Host and it shows in all the little touches she provides. From beach chai’s and umbrellas to fooling utensils to games for a rainy day, Amber ensures this house has it all. More importantly, she is always availability if needed and takes care of any issues completely. We can’t wait to return!l,

My family and I booked a last minute long weekend getaway for my birthday. We lucked up when we found this place. Being right on the beach was amazing, the views were incredible! The best part was not having to bring all the stuff! Having the beach towels, chairs and boogie boards already there when you are traveling with 3 kids is amazing! Amber was very responsive and always answered any of my questions quickly. We can’t wait to go back!

This home was a beautiful vacation rental! We slept 9 of us comfortably. The house was clean, bright and stocked with all of the essentials! We couldnt have asked for more beautiful ocean views morning to night! Whether sitting in the house, on the deck or in the sand...this place delivers! We loved the easy access to an outdoor shower so tons of sand wouldnt follow us up.
We were close enough to groceries and other fun shopping. Restaurants in plenty short drive away. I cant say enough good things about this place!

Location is quiet towards the end of the island but perfect for our small family. View of the ocean from our back patio was definitely the best part and makes it worth staying. Had 3 families staying upstairs which was perfect. You can definitely fit more but I think any more will be overcrowded. Down stairs had another room and laundry and bathroom but the kids all thought it was creepy and probably wouldn't recommend staying down there. Also our host was great and prompt with all our questions.

This property is exactly what I want in a beach rental. The hugh deck is amazing. It has comfy seating in and out of the sun. Great beach that doesn’t get as crowded as other areas. The hostess Amber was always available for any questions that came up. Super nice to work with. The teenagers enjoyed the downstairs lodging. Although we brought umbrellas and chairs, the downstairs was stocked with all that and lots of beach toys. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing large meals. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Gantt Rant review
Great location-easy access to beach. Nice outdoor space. House is reportedly totally renovated. However, bathrooms need updating. We had to use the downstairs bedroom which is dark and dingy. It is also awkward to use the laundry with folks staying in that space. I would not use as a fifth bedroom again.

The house has new floors, new drywall, new deck, new kitchen, new windows, new bathroom vanities in every bathroom, new siding, new outdoor shower, new air unit, new roof, and new paint to be specific on being totally renovated. The photos show an accurate depiction of exactly how the house looks in every room. While the downstairs does not have as much natural light as the upstairs due to it being a downstairs space, it is a full bedroom with full bathroom and is attached to a laundry room which contains bunk beds. The laundry room is separated from the Queen bed bedroom and bathroom by a wall. Again, the photos are an accurate portrayal of the layout of the house.
Great family stay here last week! The large deck with all sorts of comfortable seating and the proximity to the ocean (very short walk and excellent ocean view) make this house great. It slept 9 of us comfortably, and though the living area is small, with the deck to spill out into--and the beach steps away--it felt large enough for us. Amber was a very kind and responsive host and quickly addressed issues (e.g., grill that didn't work and tripped breaker in the kitchen). It was also nice that the upstairs was recently partially remodeled. The downstairs is still a little rough, but no more than other beach houses we've rented in the past. Overall, we had a great stay and would love to stay here again if we venture back to OIB.
This was our first family vacation since our children are all grown with children of their own. There were 11 of us and we were quite comfortable.
If just walking down your stairs and feeling the sand beneath your feet, or sitting on a spacious deck looking out into the ocean is your idea of a great location, this house is for you! We had a minor issue that the host took care of right away. Even before we arrived, I sent several messages to Amber and she responded very quickly. This was my first experience with VRBO and it was wonderful. The whole process was very easy. We would love to go back to this house next year.
What a comfortable house in a great location. The beach is literally 65 steps from the house. Such an easy walk back to the house to grab snacks. No need to haul it all in the morning. Also, the large deck with comfortable furniture was delightful. The house is really well equipped with everything you need. At other rentals, we have had to purchase Baggies, plastic wrap, foil, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, etc upon arrival. This house has it all! The Pack and Play crib was in great shape. There are puzzles and games. The closet with beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys was clean and brimming with supplies. There was even a Shibumi which we had to rent on our vacation last year. The only complaint I would mention is the temperature differential between the bedroom facing the ocean and the bedrooms facing the street. Overall, we give this house a 5 star rating.

Thank you for your great review! We hope you’ll come back again!
Let me start by saying Amber was a great host and allowed us to check in early and was very responsive. What you are paying for with this rental is the location and outdoor space. The porch, outdoor shower, beach accessories/toys, and direct beach access are all great amenities and make the property great. However, the property was very dirty and it tainted the entire stay. When we first got there the smell was so bad we had to air the place out. It seemed as though someone had smoked (even though its a non smoking property) and was trying to cover it up with a ton of cheap air fresheners that just made it worse. The area rugs in each bedroom were so dirty we just rolled them up and put them in the closets because it was gross to look at them. We had to vacuum the main couch upon arrival because it was covered in pet hair (even though no pets are allowed). Most of the sheets and towels had stains and should be replaced. There were multiple areas with a build up of dead gnats that hadn’t been cleaned. Overall was just a huge bummer with a house that had a lot of potential.

I’m shocked by your review because none of this was ever reported during your stay. Had I known of any of the cleaning issues listed, I would have promptly sent our cleaning crew back over to fix any concerns. I spoke with our cleaning crew and she stated that the majority of the washcloths and towels put out were the ones I just bought prior to summer with the washcloths being brand new and never used before. I understand the gnats can be bad at times which is just a hazard of an ocean front property. That said, I have alerted the cleaning crew to double check the ledges near windows and doors where they can get in easier. I’ve never had any renter complain of a smoking smell and to my knowledge no renters have ever smoked in the property. It is a pet free property as well. The cleaning crew stated they had not seen any evidence of a dog after the previous renters left. As for the rugs, they are in place to wipe the sand off of your feet before getting into bed. We have taken them out of rotation for the time being and I am in the process of purchasing new ones, however, they are very small rugs. The house flooring is a combination of laminate vinyl plank and hardwoods which are swept and mopped before each new set of renters comes in. I would encourage anyone reading this review to please look at all of the previous reviews before making judgments of this property. I have many references that I’m happy to share from repeat renters who use this property year after year. I take feedback very seriously, and while I am addressing all of these concerns with the cleaning crew, I would encourage you, in the future, to communicate any issues to your host as soon as they arise so that they may be addressed and taken care of.
