Great house right on the beach!

Enjoyed this great house, spotless, well organized kitchen. Large outside decks with many rocking chairs, and a clean cabana. We are beach walkers and ocean swimmers, but also liked the pool. One plus was to get in at noon the first Saturday, so we did and had a sunny first day on the beach!

OIB 2025

The house was a great place to stay on OIB with a great location and the ocean front pool. The house is really nicely decorated with incredible artwork made by the owner and had plenty of space for our family to have dinner together. We especially enjoyed eating meals at the table on the deck. The rocking chairs on the deck were a favorite too.

This was a wonderful experience; probably one of our favorites in OIB, and we’ve been visiting for 20 years. Beautiful home with more than enough room, excellent location, super clean and kind/prompt communication with the owner. The porches and easy walk to the beach made it absolutely perfect for our family which includes my elderly parents. The only bad part was leaving which is always so hard. Hope to be back soon!!

We carried our children and grandchildren on a great OIB vacation. The weather was perfect except for Hurricane Erin which caused red flags from Tues-Friday, but no rain. The house is exceptionally well stocked in the kitchen and as a bonus there are boggie boards, pool floats, and small nets for shelling in the storage room. We ate out one night at Sharky’s and also at Oyster Rock in Calabash. Oyster Rock gives huge servings so think about sharing. The views from the house are incredible. Overall a great trip.

About the host

Hosted by Sheri Blohm

Host profile image
We currently live in New Bern, NC where we moved in 2020. Sheri grew up in Raleigh, NC and went to school at UNC - Charlotte. Robert grew up in Atlanta and went to NC State University. Our kids grew up in Chesapeake public schools. Aslyn graduated from William & Mary and Kaity graduated from Virginia Tech. We love anything outside - we hike, camp, garden and have our own Koi pond.

Why they chose this property

We inherited this property in 2014. Our family has been coming here since 1990 and it is like our second home. Our kids would never let us even think about selling it!!! So many wonderful memories here. With the pool and ocean basically right outside the door, it doesn't get much better than this! The cottage was originally named "Country by the Sea" by Sheri's parents back in 1990. Due to structural issues, the unit had to be completely torn down and rebuilt in 2017. We have changed the name to "Adventure by the Sea" because there is really nothing country about it anymore (and adventure describes our family much better!). It was a long process to get this unit rebuilt, but the blessing is that almost everything inside and out will be brand new with the same quirky style as before. Please let us know of any questions you may have.

What makes this property unique

Association has 3 pools - one of which is basically right outside the ocean side porch. The pools are maintained and open after April 1st (depends on pool inspection process and is out of our control) and usually stays open until October 31st each year. The view is outstanding. With new rockers, you can spend hours outside enjoying the view.
EVERYTHING is BRAND NEW, except the view and a few pieces of furniture, and now we have an upstairs view and deck!!! What more could you want?
