The very BEST thing about this beach house is its location. After staying ocean front in an area that is located on a part of the island that is not very crowded, we are spoiled. We like its location which is close to, but not in the middle of, other more crowded touristy places. So if we want laid back, we lay back, if we want to get in the middle of it, we go out to Myrtle Beach or Wilmington on an adventure. At least once a year, we grab the ferry from Southport to Fort Fisher and have lunch at the Provisions Company and head to the Aquarium.
Oceanfront homes like ours are getting harder and harder to find, because they are being sold and moved in order to make way for larger multilevel homes. My husband and I are old enough to remember when most of the houses on Ocean Isle Beach were smaller cottages like ours. Those new large homes are very beautiful, but we enjoy the simplicity, the nostalgia, and the togetherness that our home brings. We think you will too.
