This is an amazing location and a great house. Definitely hoping to stay again in the future! Down away from all the noise and the part of beach was much less crowded. They have tons of chairs and beach stuff available. Lotssss of parking. And everything else you need for a great stay. Nice hosts and easy to communicate with.

Great house for all

This is a great house and works well for all ages. The gate on the porch helps keep the toddlers in (😄) and the view is stunning for the adults! This end of the island is truly a treasure, our favorite by far.

Perfect Spring Break

House, beach, and town were perfect combo. We could relax or do activities and switch modes easily. The owners have taken great care in the accommodations & guest experience. They were a joy to rent from and the house and location were fantastic.

Walk to the beach as often as you like because of the easy and quick beach access. The views from the decks and the master bedroom were fantastic. Connie was very responsive when we asked questions regarding restaurant suggestions and amenities.

Great location and house for multi family trip!

This was our family’s first time visiting OIB and we loved this rental property! The location next to the public access was incredibly convenient, and having porch options on either side of the house worked well to always have a shady, breezy spot no matter what time of day it was. The home is well-stocked and had plenty of supplies and amenities.

Perfect vacation week

Property was clean upon arrival and exactly as described. Location to beach is unbeatable- so convenient with little kids and frequent trips back and forth from the beach. Great outdoor space on decks to enjoy and still feel “on the beach”while babies napping and perfect for morning coffee and evening dinners. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Beach Vacation

Great location, beautiful oceanfront view. Easy access to the beach. Three balconies to enjoy. Great view from master bedroom, kitchen window and upstairs bedroom. Very nice home was clean and well maintained. It was stocked with everything you needed. The 9 am check out is very early but I would stay there again.

Perfect house for this many -- all of us comfortable, and TV's in every room remained unused (except for UNC football game). Beautiful location on the beach and nice walks. Stunning rainbows between clouds at sunset. Plenty of space for plenty of cooks. Hope to return.

Another great stay!

My friends and I have been staying here for years. It's a great house and the owners are very responsive. This year, we switched weeks due to the pandemic and it was done with no issue. It is so convenient to have the towels, bed linens etc available. The kitchen is well equipped. We hope to be back next year again!

Amazing week at Ocean Isle

Property was exactly as described and in remarkable condition despite a recent hurricane affecting the area. Just some lingering sand which is to be expected. Fabulous ocean views, comfortable and relaxing home, and plenty of beach chairs/toys for kids. We will definitely consider returning.

Absolutely perfect! 100% recommend

House was an absolute dream for our family. Our kids went on and on about how much they loved the house and didn't want to leave. There were multiple porches you could sit on with nice chairs, shade/sun and of course a beautiful view. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The beach infront of the house is quiet and you can walk just a bit north and have the whole beach to yourself if you want. Great places to bike and explore just a few blocks away. Can't recommend this place enough!

Amazing home, wonderful owners!

Absolutely LOVED staying at this beach house. The owners are WONDERFUL and extremely easy to work with. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and their experience. The house in person looks just like the photos. Personally I don’t think the pictures do it justice. It’s in a very quiet and peaceful area of the island. This is easily one of my favorite beach houses we’ve ever stayed at. It’s a great home for families to stay, big or small. You can’t beat the views either! I truly believe you won’t regret staying here and will make a bunch of memories just like we did. We can’t wait to come back!!

My friends and I have been renting this house for several years and hope to for several more. It is so convenient that the bed linens and towels are provided and we don't have to pack them. There are plenty of kitchen supplies if you cook at the house. There's a grill and a couple of bikes available. We have found the owners to be very responsive should we need anything. We plan to be back next year.

Great View Great Owners

My family and I stayed at "Whata Gift" for one week. We adored the ocean view which could be seen from every common area. The rooms were painted cheerful colors and everything was very clean. We took full advantage of both porches throughout the day. The 2 porches made this beach house feel even roomier. There is some need for minor updates but overall this beach house is very nice. My family and I would recommend this beach house to other vacationers. The owners are very kind and their open communication was greatly appreciated.
