JUST UPDATED DEC '25! 4 br 4 ba ocean view villa- 16 steps to beach- pool club-directly across from beach access<br>Golf cart friendly. community pickle ball, tennis and basketball

NOTE- TOWELS AND LINENS NOT PROVIDED.
DECEMBER '25 UPDATES-
New paint and flooring throughout, new mattresses, new living room furniture and rugs, newly upholstered dining room chairs.
Just 16 steps from the beach.
Each of the four bedrooms (K-Q-2dbls-2dbls) has its own full bath w/ shower, TV and DVD player.
Community pool club with pool, hot tub, kiddie pool, outdoor tiki bar and restaurant on the ocean front.
OCEAN FRONT POOL CLUB OPEN MEM DAY TO LABOR DAY.



The Islander Villas Community is on the west end of the island which has a much wider beach and is less crowded than the upper end. The Islander Villas community has a very nice ocean front pool club with pool, hot tub, kiddie pool, outdoor tiki bar all on the ocean front as well as 4 community tennis courts.
Ocean Isle Beach is a south facing barrier island with 7 miles of beach on the Atlantic Ocean, located 12 miles south of the NC/SC border. Ocean Isle Beach is a much quieter and less crowded island than areas like Myrtle Beach, etc. The beach is spectacular and is very wide and clean with a nice gentle slope. The island has a fishing pier, arcade, surf shops, restaurants, museum, ice cream parlor, mini golf course, bicycle, jet ski, kayak, boat and golf cart rentals. The backside of the island has quiet protected water great for kayaking.

Whether enjoying an early morning cup of coffee, taking a break from the sun on the covered deck, or winding down at the end of the day, you are close enough to see and hear the waves as they crash onto shore and you'll feel the constant ocean breeze that you can only get by being so close to the water.

Renters also enjoy exclusive membership rights to The Islander Beach Club which is just 200 yards down the street. The Islander Beach Club offers a huge oceanside pool with an adjacent kiddie pool and hot tub. It also has a great outside Tiki Bar overlooking the pool and the ocean that can be enjoyed throughout the day or night.
You will understand why it has been named on of the best beaches in North Carolina, and one of the best vacation spots in America.
On average, 50% of our rental weeks are booked by returning customers who appreciate the great location and great condition of our vacation home. We recently added a pub table with 4 lifeguard chairs to go with the unique Nags Head porch swing and several large rocking chairs on the deck. Free wifi.
The dining table seats 6 comfortably and the extended kitchen counter seats an additional 5 in large wooden stools with high backs

OIB Stay

We had a wonderful trip and the condo was perfect for our family. It was so convenient to have separate bathrooms with each room. We loved that the condo was on the end building and beach access was so convenient and less crowded than other areas! We did rent a golf cart and that made driving to the pool so convenient. Would absolutely stay here again!

Last Puzzle Peace

The condo was perfect and very comfortable to stay in. We loved how spacious it is, the kitchen was well stocked, everything was clean and taken care of. We especially loved the deck. It was large enough for the whole family to sit and visit in the evenings. Seeing the water during the day and the moon at night were just a welcome bonus! We truly enjoyed our week.

great time

this is a great place to stay plenty of room for my family. the only reason I gave it 4 stars was because we had to bring our own linen, that was a lot of trouble for me. I am accustomed to having linen supplied at the place I am staying with beds fully maid. But other than that great place to stay. very close to the beach.

Needs some work

To start, the front door was NOT locked when we arrived. The condo was not real clean, the rugs needed to be cleaned or replaced. The bathrooms could stand some updates. With toddler grandchildren there, it is important that it be very clean. We will not rent this unit again unless changes are made.

Great Family Vacation!

This place was perfect for our family with the variety of beds to suit our family needs. It was so convenient to the beach, just a few steps and the ability to wash off sand when we returned was an added bonus. We were able to wash off chairs, toys etc… and store underneath condo until the next day. The kitchen was well stocked. There were large stock pots so we were able to have a crab, shrimp boil for a large group. The best part was Cliff, the host. He was an excellent source for any questions, guidance and information. He was prompt with all responses. This was my first VRBO rental and he was always available and gave step by step instructions for check in and check out. He even extended our check out time, which was an extra bonus. I will definitely rent from him again.

Almost Heaven

The location was perfect! Most of the house is perfect. The beds could use some upgrading to make them more comfortable. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The keyless entry lock should be moved from the bedroom door to the main entrance door. The way the keyless entry lock it is currently located on a bedroom door that opens to the outside makes it inconvenient for those staying in that bedroom because there is constant traffic through the bedroom when the doors are locked. When all the doors are locked, the only way to get inside is through the keyless entry lock on the bedroom door. If the keyless entry lock was placed on the main door instead of the bedroom door, there would be no traffic thru the bedroom.

Just ok

Queen mattress is a mess! It looks torn up and as such was like sleeping on bumps. I had to double up sheets to make it comfortable. Full bed in room with bunk bed mattress very uncomfortable. Might be good to add a mattress topper. Bathroom toilet paper holders are wobbly-not secure to the wall. Shower heads may need to be cleaned or replaced. Spray was not good. Underneath beds and dressers lots of dust bunnies. I dropped something in one of the bedrooms and that’s when I noticed this as well as checking under beds and dressers before leaving. Can hear folks in above unit walking about, dog running etc. it’s very frustrating to get ice cubes out as the shelf cannot be pulled out. It’s awkward trying to get items out of the freezer. Dryer vent is rusted; might be time to replace it as it can be challenging to get lint off if it. TV in living room awfully small. Several tiles near and in kitchen are cracked. One tile moves when stepped on. Fruit flies were a constant issue. We kept food covered and fruit in refrigerator. Roaches were found inside and outside. This is described as a luxury condo but it is not a luxury condo.

Great condo! Perfect location! Some improvements needed.

We have been booking our OIB summer rentals at Islander Villas with Cliff (CottageVacations4U) for the last 6 years. Cliff is a pleasure with work with – always helpful and super responsive! This year we had a wonderful stay at The Last Puzzle Piece. The location is perfect with easy access to the beach! We loved the open, spacious floorplan. We especially enjoyed time spent (day & night) on the covered porch – quality deck furniture & spectacular ocean views/sounds. We did want to provide some constructive feedback for the owner (the reasons for our 4-star rating). We are hoping this feedback is especially helpful here at the beginning of the summer rental season where these minor improvements can benefit future guests this summer: ** A deep cleaning is needed throughout the condo. Under beds was found to be very dirty, dusty including some trash and a sock. Several kitchen drawers had dirty grimy residue – especially at the back of drawers. ** Kitchen could use a reset (organization): like items were scattered in multiple locations, pots & containers had no matching lids. ** Only one pool pass (my understanding is there is supposed to be two – so a replacement may need to be obtained for future guests). ** Sectional sofa appears to have had a good life but is nearing retirement. All minor issues – none of which impacted our amazing week on OIB. Thank you, Cliff!

The owner had everything you would want in your vacation home. The kitchen was well stocked and the condo felt like your very own get away. The very few steps it takes to get to the beach was great! We will stay here again.

Our other vacation plans had to be changed due to Covid so we booked this . We had stayed at this same condo complex about 5 years ago but in a different unit. Location was totally great with an easy walk to beach and pool. The unit had everything we needed to be comfortable. Just the right size for 8 adults to be together, yet have some space. A wonderful week!

Family Friendly & Relaxing

I would recommend the two condos together for a larger family or multiple family units. We had family from four states come together with four generations ranging in age from 1yr to 88 yrs old. Every bedroom had its own bath and the double kitchens, washer & dryer & sitting rooms were wonderful. The condo owners were very good to work with and sent helpful information on the area. We had a great week making memories together as a family! Access to the beach is great and we could come back and forth between beach and condo very easily.

As close to the beach as you can get without oceanfront.

Wonderful properties. They are actually connected on the back porch but with two separate back doors. It's the first floor so not as many steps. Owners are very responsive and we hope to vacation here as a family for years to come. Our favorite is the porch swing and view from the reclining chairs on the opposite side of the porch. We had 6 different subsets of the same family staying in this property for a week. There are also beach chairs and beach equipment for you already in the storage unit. We did rent a grill and a bike as well as linens. Would recommend meal planning as that's the most inexpensive route to take. Also go have breakfast at Big Nells it was the best and affordable. The owner will give you a sheet with all the secrets of how to make your stay more enjoyable. As you can see I can't say enough good things about this experience. It was awesome!!!! Lovely homes thank you for your hospitality. We hope you will have us again next year. Regards, Pherribos from Hillsborough, NC

Condo was very clean and stocked well with untensil's. Beach access was very easy and only across the street. Constant breeze came across the deck where we spent most of our time in the evenings and even had some of our meals there. Only missing item was access to a grill.
