Amazing family vacation!

We had the best beach vacation in Ocean Isle! This condo was perfect for four adults and a 10 month old. The location couldn’t be any better! The kitchen had all we needed and the starter set of necessities was much appreciated! Beach chairs, towels, and linens made for care free packing! Jennifer and Tom were great host! Would absolutely stay here again. It truly is an Oasis!

Outstanding location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay. Jennifer was very responsive to our questions and we found the unit exactly as described. It was especially nice that sheets, towels, beach gear and bikes were provided. The unit also had a bit of an ocean view and a beach access walkway just across the street. We would rent again. Thanks so much.

Chill getaway

Another great getaway in OIB and we loved staying at Driftwood Oasis! The condo was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed! Check-in was super easy and communication with the owner was great. Loved that we had a washer and dryer in the condo, made life so much easier! The kitchen was great, it had everything we needed especially because we stayed in and cooked most of the days. The only thing I would have like to have (although I could have asked about ahead of time) was large plastic cups to take drinks to the pool. Also, having a pool was great and it wasn't ever crowded. I will definitely be booking Driftwood Oasis again in the future!!

Perfect unit by the beach

We had a wonderful stay at this condo, which is just a short walk across the street to access the boardwalk to the beach. We also spent plenty of time at the pool and the unit itself was nicely appointed and had everything we needed for a long weekend. The owner, Jennifer, was super responsive when we had questions. We would highly recommend staying here!

Quick beach getaway

This condo is in the perfect location with access directly across the street to the beach . It has a community pool which was a plus ! Plenty of room for 5 people. Beds were comfortable .Owners are very responsive. We had a minor issue that the owners took care of right away. Perfect little place to stay at to get away from the touristy types of beaches .

Great spot for relaxation!

The condo is beautifully decorated, clean, and has a well-equipped kitchen. The neighborhood is quiet. The beach is literally a 2 minute walk. We loved that our hosts had things already there like kitchen garbage bags, paper towels, toilet paper, ice, and coffee pods for the Keurig, making it nice upon arrival and no rush to the grocery store. Would highly recommend this unit.

Memories Made Easy

We loved the proximity to beach with our family of 5, and the ability to utilize their beach items and bikes meant we saved time and money packing or renting gear! Our 3 kids enjoyed the pool while my husband and I relaxed poolside. Property has a nice covered porch with ocean views that we used throughout our weekend stay. We were able to make great memories and will return!

Perfect Oasis!

Loved staying at this 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo in Ocean Isle Beach & would highly recommend it it for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway! The hosts could not have been any more helpful before, during, and after our stay & were super quick to answer any of my texts. They made us feel so welcome, just like we were guests staying at their personal home. We knew all about our check in procedures as well as codes & passwords a couple of days before we even arrived, which just takes one of the worries about traveling away from home out of the equation! The condo was exactly as described and the extras that were provided made our trip even better. Between the hosts and previous guests, we used so little of the "staples" that we brought with us--paper goods, garbage bags, spices, toiletries. We traveled from more than 11 hours away and it was wonderful not to have to bring our own linens--especially great was that they were of a good quality with the beds already made and the towels & wash clothes in the vanities! The unit was immaculate & the owners closet had all the beach provisions listed. The weather was not on our side so we didn't get to use the chairs, wagon & bikes as much as we hoped but it was great to know we could have. We've been using VRBO for the past 3 years, all with good experiences, but this has been our most successful match for everything we needed at a place that was exactly as described with hosts who made the entire experience a terrific experience!

We have been visiting OIB for over 35 years! This year was our 40th Wedding Anniversary that was made very memorable at Driftwood Oasis. Everything we needed was right there. This cozy condo was perfect, very clean, quiet and relaxing. Everything about our stay was excellent Quick walk to beach with nothing to carry. The beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, beach towels and the boogie board provided us was wonderful. I would rent this condo again and would recommend it. I would like to give a shout out to Jenn for being a wonderful host!
