Excellent Property

We had a great week at this home. The property is well maintained and the extras provided create a great value for this rental. We hope to rent this property again in the future!

A five star experience

My family and I absolutely loved this house. There were so many thoughtful touches to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. We have made Ocean Isle a place to gather with our extended family from different parts of the world for years and this house is definitely one of our favorites. We would highly recommend it and would love to return another year.

Family Beach Vacation

This home is beautiful, well appointed for family meals and entertaining, and comes with bikes, fishing piles, paddle boards and kayaks that we all enjoyed. We couldn’t anticipate how much we would love staying on the channel, trying to catch crabs/fish, swimming, etc. House is well decorated and has everything you can want. Each bedroom has it’s own bathroom. Great location and close proximity to beach.

Beautiful home in a great location

My family and I enjoyed our stay. Brandon was very communicative. He was a great host and was willing to work with us on arrival/check out times. The house was clean, roomy, and beautiful. We especially enjoyed the dock and outside grill. The lounge chairs off the master suite was a nice little perk for morning coffee. Thank you Brandon for your hospitality.

Wonderful Ocean Isle Beach Canal Respite Rental

We loved our vacation this year at this wonderful property!! The house’s canal location is so tranquil and peaceful. The dock is great to sit out on and enjoy with it’s built-in bench and umbrella. We also enjoyed the quiet reading places - front porch benches, upper level sundeck (also great for star-gazing) and Adirondack chairs down on the main level. The home is beautifully furnished with tasteful Coastal interior design and provided a quiet, spacious place of relaxation for my husband and I, each of our parents and nieces. The kitchen offered a great big spacious pantry to store groceries for the week. The Keurig and espresso machine were a big hit. Fortunately, we had a barista niece along to teach us how to make fancy coffee. It’s not too far to walk to the beach, but it also is close to the beach access which features a bonus overflow parking lot that makes it a little bit easier to park at if you do not wish to walk or have someone with special mobility needs. The owner was wonderful. They provided great communication and local fishing/dining resources. They have a wonderful well stocked locked shed with beach chairs, boards, paddle boards and kayaks. The home is located in a quiet section of Ocean Isle Beach, but not too far of a drive if you want to be at the center of everything (the pier, mini golf and restaurants). The gas grill was perfect. There are several places to purchase fresh caught fish on OIB, which made our vacation complete. We highly recommend and look forwa to future stays!!

Summer Memories 2022

From the moment we booked this house until we said “Goodbye OIB” for the summer was an amazing time with our adult children and grandchildren! We thought we would miss not having a pool but we took advantage of being with family on the beach. The house (home for the week) provided us with games, bikes and especially a wagon to help with toys & coolers to the beach. This home was a place to let go of life’s hectic schedules and make memories of playing games and just talking while eating meals together in the large open great room. The bedrooms and private bathrooms for each room was perfect! This was a perfect setting for our family to get together for our annual summer vacation! I only hope you can experience the wonderful laughter, love and time well spent with your family! Blessings from Walhalla, SC

Great house on Canal

Our family has been coming to OIB for many years and we love staying on the canal for all the water activities it offers. We had a great house last year that we could not get this year and this house is even better. We had a fantastic stay with very few issues. The owner, Brandon was very welcoming and kept us informed of some damage that had to be addressed from the prior renters. The house is well located about middle of the canal and a short walk to the beach access. Unlike a lot of houses, Brandon provided us with lots of items we could enjoy at the beach or on the canal such as beach chairs, umbrellas, kayaks and paddle boards. We did not have a boat but the dock looks brand new. We were easily able to launch the kayaks and paddle boards and get in and out of the water. We highly recommend this house and will definitely be back next year if it’s available. Thank you Brandon for being a great host.

Best vacation ever

Brandon is an incredible host. This house has literally everything! We made good use of the dock, paddle boards, beach toys, and espresso machine! The dock is brand new and was great for our boat. Wonderful location. Beds are very comfortable. Huge plus that the house comes with sheets and beach towels. The house is very clean and updated. Our crew hopes to stay here again next year! Couldn’t have asked for a better house for our group of 6 adults and 5 kids

Perfect Canal Home in Ocean Isle Beach

This home was very clean and filled with everything we needed for our stay. We docked our boat and jet ski for quick and easy access. They had a closet filled with other outdoor equipment for other activities, so we never ran out of things to do. We thoroughly enjoyed and relaxed during our stay! We will definitely refer our friends and family to this home. Thanks

Ocean Isle Beach Stay

This was our first stay in OIB, and this property and the owners have by far exceeded our expectations. Everything that was described in the listing was provided and anytime I reached out, Brandon responded in a timely manner. The house is the perfect layout for our needs and in the perfect location. We honestly don’t have any complaints and would love to be able to use the property again when we visit OIB in the future.

Amazing House packed with outside activities and equipment!

Our family had an incredible week in OIB! The house was very clean, beautifully decorated, and filled with tons of extras to make our trip more convenient such as beach towels, linens, bath towels, and a well stocked kitchen. In addition to the items inside the house, the beach closet was packed with bikes, paddle boards, kayaks, lawn games in addition to beach chairs and umbrellas making our packing much lighter this year! We loved the canal setting and had a short, convenient walk to the beach access. Brandon was a very responsive host and answered all the questions I had prior to our trip. This was our first VRBO rental and we will certainly return! We had a wonderful week in OIB.
