About the host

We live in Cary, NC - about 3 hours drive from OIB.

We have a Goldendoodle named Quincy and a Sheepadoodle named Sunny.
Why they chose this property
We love Ocean Isle Beach for the combination of being a great family beach, it's proximity to attractions in Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, great golf courses and great weather.
Happy Hours is such a fun home with a rich history of families and groups having a great time staying with us over the years.
