Thank you Ben, we are happy that your group enjoyed the house and had a great stay at OIB.
Had a great trip to Ocean Isle and the place was an easy, quick walk to the beach. Ryan was very communicative and checked in at multiple points during our stay. Would definitely book again!

Thank you Andrew. Very happy to hear your family had a great trip and enjoyable stay. Please come again!
Our family had a wonderful stay. The beach home was lovely and exactly as shown in the pictures, with quick access to the beach. It was clean, had a well stocked kitchen and plenty of seating space for our family of 10. We enjoyed the comfortable beds with a bathroom for each bedroom. Ryan, our host, was so attentive to all our needs. We would definitely choose this wonderful beach home again!

Thank you Janice for your kind words and for sharing your experience. We are so happy that your family had a wonderful stay and that you enjoyed our home. Please come again.
This house is the best. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 3 kids. Great location close to the beach access also a big perk having the waterway in the back yard. Having most all the beach accessories at the home was a big help for our family!! Access to the beach front pool was a huge hit for the kiddos!!

Thank you Christian for your comments. We are so happy to hear that your family had a great week at OIB!
This beach house is absolutely on point and very nice. We enjoyed the outside covered deck and easy access to the beach. The house accommodated our family and loved having ensuite bathrooms! The owner is very responsive and accommodating. We will be back! :)
This was the perfect place for our family. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood but only a few minutes walk to the beach. The house was so nice and had plenty of room for our family of seven. Really nice comfortable furniture and everything you need for a nice vacation. We loved the front porch. That was our go to place. Ryan, the host was great. He was so accessible anytime I had any questions. I would highly recommend this house. We hope to be stay there again.

Our family had a fantastic time in this lovely beach house. The house was an easy walk to the beach even for our 3 year old twins. The house was perfect for our family. The communication prior to check in and during our stay was excellent. We had a small issue with the dishwasher but was fixed that day .Great memories of our trip to
OIB.

Thank you Sue. We are happy to hear that your family enjoyed the house and had a great week at OIB. Please come again!
The house is exceptionally nice. The two living spaces gave us a space for adults and a place for kids to play xbox/playstation. Keeping with that thought though, there are no televisions in the two main floor bedrooms. Something to think about when assigning bedrooms. Love that each bedroom has a full bathroom. Everything was great as a whole, but the pool is about a mile away and there is no parking, so rent a golf cart as early as possible. There is shopping, restaurants, a small arcade, ice cream all w/in a mile. Everything you need for the beach is provided i.e boogy boards, beach chairs, umbrellas and even toys for the little ones. I would definitely recommend this property.
