I spent a year searching for the perfect beach house at the perfect beach and I found it. I walked into this home and saw how spacious and open and bright it is, and the canal view is absolutely AMAZING. I also saw the amazing potential for creating the ultimate pool and relaxation area and I was impressed by the large side yard due to the house sitting on an oversized corner lot and the super close proximity to the public beach access, water views from every window, tropical landscaping with beautiful palm trees, large open floor plan, high ceilings, beautiful and unique living room ceiling fan, etc. There was a lot of WOW factor to work with. The house struck me as a tropical paradise with amazing potential to be its own private resort. It dawned on me that someone could literally stay at the house and be perfectly happy and content without ever leaving the property. I LOVE sitting on the back deck overlooking the boat dock and canal, and I love having the canal, marsh and ocean views from the home. It's absolutely beautiful, with a very positive vibe, super bright and extremely clean. Also, Ocean Isle is one of the best spots on the East Coast for boaters and getting away from the crowds, and the town is very clean and fresh, unlike other beach towns that I visited. The beach is also in excellent shape compared to other beaches and well maintained. I love that it's such a great town and community, a place you can feel safe with no riff raff. Just nice, happy families everywhere and great restaurants. There are free concerts every Friday during the summer featuring awesome bands. Ocean Isle Beach is also minutes to Myrtle Beach and Wilmington if you're looking for additional shopping or entertainment. You will LOVE this house!
