We LOVE this place!

This house was perfect for us! So cozy and comfy with the perfect amount of amenities. The fenced backyard was perfect for relaxing with quick access to the outdoor shower (which was amazing) and bar area. The house was well stocked with paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap, spices, towels, wash cloths, etc. The only thing I would add to this home would be a fan in the screened in areas. We had battery powered fans so it wasn't unbearable, but we would spent almost the entire day out there if there would have been a large fan.

About the host

Hosted by Lorraine M

Host profile image
Hey there! My husband and I live just outside of Apex, North Carolina. We're originally from out of state but have fallen in love with the area—especially its beautiful outdoor spaces. Over the past three years, we've enjoyed hosting guests at our place near Jordan Lake, sharing the tranquility and natural beauty of the region. Now, we're excited to extend our hospitality to our beach home in Ocean Isle Beach. We've put a lot of care into creating a comfortable and relaxing space, and we hope it feels like a home away from home for you.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I love spending time at Ocean Isle Beach — it’s our favorite place to slow down, relax, and enjoy the simple things. The neighborhood has such a peaceful, laid-back vibe. It’s close enough to all the fun spots like the beach, restaurants, and shops, but tucked away just enough to feel quiet and relaxing after a day out. What we enjoy most is being able to start our mornings with coffee on the porch and end our evenings with beautiful sunsets nearby. It’s the perfect little getaway spot, and we’re excited to share it with you!

What makes this property unique

What makes our place stand out is the balance of comfort and location. It's tucked in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood just a quick drive from the beach—perfect for guests who want to enjoy the coast without the crowds. We’ve put a lot of care into making the home feel cozy and welcoming, with little touches that make it easy to settle in. From the spacious layout to the outdoor sitting areas, it's a great spot to relax after a fun day exploring Ocean Isle Beach.
