Our large family enjoyed our vacation at this home. The location was perfect. The beach was not too busy and the home is steps from the sand. The oceanfront deck was great with plenty of seating and there was a constant breeze in the heat - we spent a lot of time out there!
The kitchen was small but well stocked with supplies (with the exception of a pizza cutter). There was an ice maker on the counter that we used all week and loved! There was shampoo/conditioner, detergent, trash bags, etc. The outdoor shed was full of beach toys, beach chairs, umbrellas, and a Shibumi!
The beds and pillows were some of the most comfortable we have had in a vacation home. The AC kept up with the heat, and the house was always cool. The four bedrooms on the main floor shared two bathrooms - the master bedroom was Jack and Jill style with another bedroom.
The downstairs rooms were separate from the main floor, with a separate entrance. The refrigerator in the downstairs did not seem to cool well.
We accidentally brought a TV remote home and the host was very understanding, and communicated quickly with us.
Overall, we had a great vacation! The house suited our needs and we all agree we would stay here again!

What a comfortable house in a great location. The beach is literally 65 steps from the house. Such an easy walk back to the house to grab snacks. No need to haul it all in the morning. Also, the large deck with comfortable furniture was delightful. The house is really well equipped with everything you need. At other rentals, we have had to purchase Baggies, plastic wrap, foil, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, etc upon arrival. This house has it all! The Pack and Play crib was in great shape. There are puzzles and games. The closet with beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys was clean and brimming with supplies. There was even a Shibumi which we had to rent on our vacation last year. The only complaint I would mention is the temperature differential between the bedroom facing the ocean and the bedrooms facing the street. Overall, we give this house a 5 star rating.

Great location-easy access to beach. Nice outdoor space. House is reportedly totally renovated. However, bathrooms need updating. We had to use the downstairs bedroom which is dark and dingy. It is also awkward to use the laundry with folks staying in that space. I would not use as a fifth bedroom again.

This was our first family vacation since our children are all grown with children of their own. There were 11 of us and we were quite comfortable.
If just walking down your stairs and feeling the sand beneath your feet, or sitting on a spacious deck looking out into the ocean is your idea of a great location, this house is for you! We had a minor issue that the host took care of right away. Even before we arrived, I sent several messages to Amber and she responded very quickly. This was my first experience with VRBO and it was wonderful. The whole process was very easy. We would love to go back to this house next year.

Great family stay here last week! The large deck with all sorts of comfortable seating and the proximity to the ocean (very short walk and excellent ocean view) make this house great. It slept 9 of us comfortably, and though the living area is small, with the deck to spill out into--and the beach steps away--it felt large enough for us. Amber was a very kind and responsive host and quickly addressed issues (e.g., grill that didn't work and tripped breaker in the kitchen). It was also nice that the upstairs was recently partially remodeled. The downstairs is still a little rough, but no more than other beach houses we've rented in the past. Overall, we had a great stay and would love to stay here again if we venture back to OIB.

Everything was wonderful from booking to checkout. Location and beach access was perfect. Not close to public beach access so not crowded. House was small (which we knew)but accommodating for 13 of us. Oceanfront deck was one of the best I saw on the island. Very large, open, and good mix of sun and shade. Plenty of comfortable seating. Host was great. Highly recommend!

We spent most of our time on that amazing deck overlooking the beach and enjoying the breeze. It made the stay special. The kitchen and indoor spaces did not offer the same kind of quality or roominess, but overall, the deck made the week a great one.

This home was a beautiful vacation rental! We slept 9 of us comfortably. The house was clean, bright and stocked with all of the essentials! We couldnt have asked for more beautiful ocean views morning to night! Whether sitting in the house, on the deck or in the sand...this place delivers! We loved the easy access to an outdoor shower so tons of sand wouldnt follow us up.
We were close enough to groceries and other fun shopping. Restaurants in plenty short drive away. I cant say enough good things about this place!

The deck and proximity to the beach is fantastic. The host, Amber, was great at communicating and was able to quickly resolve any questions we had. The house is older but is well maintained. Our group consisted of 6 adults and 5 kids and there was adequate room for all of us.

This house is great for families! It has everything!! Beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, boogie boards, even had a skim board my grandson liked so well he bought his own while we were there. The kitchen is furnished with EVERYTHING! Im used to a little more living space indoor, but the porch made up for that. There is always shade in some parts or sun if you want it. It was great to sit out there.
One bedroom was on the bottom with a full-size bed and a set of bunk beds which worked perfect for my son and his boys. This house worked very well for our family and kids. I like the location because the beach (at least when we were there, first week in Aug) wasn’t terribly crowded

Great location!
This property is exactly what I want in a beach rental. The hugh deck is amazing. It has comfy seating in and out of the sun. Great beach that doesn’t get as crowded as other areas. The hostess Amber was always available for any questions that came up. Super nice to work with. The teenagers enjoyed the downstairs lodging. Although we brought umbrellas and chairs, the downstairs was stocked with all that and lots of beach toys. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing large meals. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Great Beach House
We really enjoyed our first all family vacation at this property!!!! It was so great having the beach access right out our back door. The home was well maintained and the owner was so easy to work with. We would definitely stay here again if we get back to Ocen Isle.

From beach chai’s and umbrellas to fooling utensils to games for a rainy day, Amber ensures this house has it all. More importantly, she is always availability if needed and takes care of any issues completely. We can’t wait to return!l,

Great location on beach
Location location location. House is nice but the location is the true gem here. Porch is great! Room for many. Owner was super helpful. Enjoy!!!

Location is quiet towards the end of the island but perfect for our small family. View of the ocean from our back patio was definitely the best part and makes it worth staying. Had 3 families staying upstairs which was perfect. You can definitely fit more but I think any more will be overcrowded. Down stairs had another room and laundry and bathroom but the kids all thought it was creepy and probably wouldn't recommend staying down there. Also our host was great and prompt with all our questions.

Well designed
We went in late March as spring is just getting warm. The deck is set just enough back on the property that the neighboring buildings mask the wind from the beach, keeping the chill from the wind while still giving a pleasant breeze and on beach experience. We spent almost all our time on the well lit deck watching and listening to the ocean. Beautiful property.

This house was comfortable and cozy, with everything in the listing and a great deck overlooking the ocean. We had a couple minor cleanliness issues, but had great response from the owner. We love to stay on the NC beaches, and would definitely stay here again.

Sons 16th birthday weekend beach trip
We had a GREAT time. Loved the Knats Rant so much. The front deck is amazing. We spent a lot of time out on the deck overlooking the ocean. The house was neat, clean, and equipped with Everything we would ever need. We will definitely be back again. Can’t wait!!!!

Amazing weekend
My family and I booked a last minute long weekend getaway for my birthday. We lucked up when we found this place. Being right on the beach was amazing, the views were incredible! The best part was not having to bring all the stuff! Having the beach towels, chairs and boogie boards already there when you are traveling with 3 kids is amazing! Amber was very responsive and always answered any of my questions quickly. We can’t wait to go back!

We had a very nice stay at Ocean Isle. We loved being on the beach, and the deck was wonderful. We also appreciated the amenities included in the house, such as full bottles of dish soap, laundry detergent, towels, and the like. The kitchen also had a great coffee maker and coffee grinder, as well as everything you need to cook, which we appreciated. Amber, the manager, was also very responsive and friendly. Overall it was a lovely stay. Unfortunately the house itself is quite old and needs a lot of work, and some of the descriptions of the set up were unclear. The bathrooms are very old and were quite mildewy when we arrived. There were cleaning supplies available, though, so we scrubbed toilets and even kitchen cabinets (also mildewy) ourselves. The downstairs has a separate entrance with a bedroom and bunk beds in the laundry room; before going our kids were excited to stay in the bunk beds, but we realized it wasn't safe to leave them there without an adult, since it is under another lock. And the room was extremely musty. It seems there has been a lot of water damage to the property due to a bad roof (which leaked on us while we were sleeping in bed on the second to last night we were there). I have no doubt the owner is working hard to fix these issues (plus others we encountered during our stay)-- she called a roofer the same day we told her about the leak, for example. But it is a bit disconcerting when pest control shows up to tell you they are spraying for black widows in the outdoor shower you've been using all week, and it was inconvenient to have so many repairmen in the home (a plumber who fixed a broken shower, as well as the aforementioned roofer and pest control). It would be one thing if the price were a bit lower, but given the rather exorbitant cost in relation to other properties in the area, some visitors may have expected a bit more than the house has to offer.

Family vacation
Amber was great to deal with, very responsive.
Property is just steps to the beach! Felt very safe and not crowded by neighboring homes so great location. Plenty of shops on the island and eateries as well. Only suggestion is to update beach chairs and surf boards/toys.

We had a wonderful family vacation and enjoyed our stay in this house very much! The house was clean and the layout was perfect for us. Our favorite part of the house was the huge oceanfront deck. There was plenty of seating for all 8 of us and the view was spectacular! The beach in front of the house was practically a private beach as no one ever set up in front of our umbrellas. We had no trouble parking our four vehicles in the driveway and we could have easily put another car there. Amber is a great host and she responds to texts very quickly. We definitely plan to stay again next year!
