Loved our stay at Zoe’s Family Ties. I went with a group of 8 adults, all family. The rooms were perfect for our needs and every bedroom had its own bathroom. Sheets and towels were included but the sheets were low quality and the towels were thin although there were plenty of towels for bath and kitchen. Our first night we noticed a few ants in the kitchen (not uncommon after the rain they had). We got some 2 gallon ziplock bags to store our food in and never had a problem with ants after that. The kitchen was well stocked. We ate most of our meals at the house. There is a propane grill that looks old but it worked fine. Propane tank was full when we arrived. There is a large washer and dryer on the first floor. Very convenient but a bit noisy. One evening we had trouble getting the front door to unlock and when I called the emergency number there was a quick response and he was able to help us remotely So we were inside in less than 15 minutes. He also came the next day to check on the lock and do some repairs. I would consider this very good communication. I will admit, prior to our arrival I sent an email to the owner and the property manager and never heard back. But I did receive plenty of automated text messages with all the info we needed so I wasn’t concerned. The property does not include any beach chairs/ towels/umbrellas and no bicycles. All are able to be rented prior to arrival but we brought our own. I will go back to this house again.

We loved staying in this house. It met all of our needs as a group of 10. The private beach access and easy walk back and forth to the beach was wonderful so people could come and go as needed. House was very clean, which is important to our group. We have already booked this house for next year.

We loved being ocean front! The deck was well furnished and a lovely place to relax. All the bedrooms have a private bathroom which is very convenient.

We had a group of 10, and the place was perfect. Oceanfront is always our choice! Very clean, and all the extras in the kitchen to make the stay great.

Our group enjoyed our stay at Zoe’s very much. The location is perfect - right on the beach - and we spent a lot of time outside on the spacious deck with ample sunny or shady seating. The inside of the house was comfortable and there was helpful communication from the property manager. Great stay!

Excellent location. Well-equipped kitchen. Comfortable house. Accurate communication with property manager. Property manager was very responsive to our needs. We would go back.

House was clean and bright. Plenty of room and kitchen was large enough for a big crowd. Location was perfect.

My family of ten, which included six adults and four children under the age of fourteen, spent a beautiful sunny week at this Ocean Isle beachfront house. The positives: • The house is directly oceanfront with unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and easy beach access via a private walkway to the beach. • The house has a lovely, well-furnished outdoor seating area off the kitchen and living room and a similar seating area on the second floor. • The kitchen has been updated and is well-equipped to prepare almost any meal at home. The dining room looking out to the ocean, seats eight comfortably. • The bedrooms are large, and the furniture/bedding was good. • The house was super clean. I would describe the home as a vintage beachfront property that needs a little TLC upgrade. The carpet in the living room is stained, and the carpets throughout the rest of the house are dated. While clean, the bathrooms (specifically the showers) probably need an upgrade. They look like original showers from the early 1990s. The shower heads in all the bathrooms need replacement. The outdoor grill, while working, is badly in need of replacement. Overall, we had an excellent stay. Again, I think a little TLC will go a long way to make this property pristine. One other point. The houses which line the beachfront in this area are no more than 30 yards from each other. We never felt our privacy was an issue, but beware of the potential for late-night loud outdoor music and parties fr
