About this apartment rental
Our 2nd row full ocean view in the Islander Villa Community in Ocean Isle Beach, NC is ready to welcome you and your family/friends!
We are a second row villa with no unit built in front of us on the first row, giving you a perfect view of the Atlantic Ocean and dunes. We are one building over from the seasonal pool (Memorial Day - Labor Day) and Islander Clubhouse. We have a large covered deck with comfortable seating so you can enjoy your morning coffee while listening to ocean waves or a quiet lunch while a shrimp boat sails by. Get away from the hustle and bustle of busier beaches, while still having access to plentiful local restaurants, shopping, golfing, mini-golf, fishing piers, shopping, concerts, playgrounds, zip-lining, boat rentals, and other activities and wonderful Islander Villa amenities: seasonal pool (open Memorial Day-Labor Day given no maintenance or events), hot tub, kiddie pool, tiki bar, & pickleball and tennis courts. The town of Ocean Isle also boasts a fabulous playground and splashpad for when you take a break from the waves. Enjoy the Friday night free concert series all Summer long!
There are over 100 golf courses in the surrounding area and plenty of family-friendly restaurants and activities, including the newly remodeled OIB Park with splashpad, ziplines, pickleball/basketball court, playgrounds, covered picnic area, and more!
The serenity of the white sandy beaches are waiting to welcome you and your family back when your adventurous spirit needs a break. You may even find yourself so enamored with the thousands of shells and beautiful waves that you sit back, relax, and enjoy the wonderful, slow beach life we love at Ocean Isle Beach.
Beautiful updated lighting and floors welcome you as you enter the home. Our Luxury Vinyl Plank throughout allows for easy clean up and comfort underfoot. Lighting and fresh paint keep that beachy feel going even during your moments off the beach. You will truly relax when you visit A Wonderful Life!
We offer a fully-stocked kitchen with both a Keurig and coffee maker, as well as all you need to make a home-cooked meal. All appliances are recently updated and easy to use.

We chose this condo because of the proximity to friends' places in the same complex, and it was perfect for our family of four (with a few kid sleepovers too!) We loved the location - not far from the beach and steps to the pool! The unit itself was very clean and had everything we needed - beds were comfy, kitchen stocked, etc. We had a wonderful LDW which was capped off by a sea turtle hatching on our last night. Sweetest memories! Will definitely be back.

We loved our stay here.It was everything we needed for our growing family. The pool close by is a major plus. Also, the owner was quick to respond to any of our questions.
5.0
The condo is spacious and was spotless. The covered front porch is amazing and I would have slept out there but the beds were super comfortable. The beach is a two minute walk to either beach access. The Isles Club is such a great perk as the pool is huge and you can have drinks from the bar while your kids play! Fantastic rental, would rent again. Only gripes were that there was no toilet paper in the condo and we have to go buy some and the remot to the TV in the Living Room did not work so we could not get the Roku working.

First Family Beach Vacation
This property was perfect for our family of 9. The description could not have been more accurate. It was an easy walk to the pool where we also used the beach access. The kitchen was fully equipped. We ate in the majority of the week and had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The porch with the ocean view was perfect for our early rising 2 year old while the teens slept in. Any questions I had were answered quickly by the host. We will definitely be back!

Family vacation
This unit was the perfect size for our family. It was close to other family members staying in another unit. The proximity to the beach access was good. It worked great for us for the week.

The deck is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the ocean. The deck furniture is comfortable and I love the swing. My elderly Mom and Dad could sit there easily and take in the view and enjoy the breeze and salt air. We will be back!

Comfort with a view
This was our second stay here for our family. Love the open living area and the deck, quite comfortable and beautifully furnished. Kitchen is well stocked and the four baths makes for quick clean up for our family of ten after active days. Short walk to beach and amazing pool. Kelly has been very helpful. Really appreciate her help and the info provided that made our arrival and stay so easy and fun.

It’s a wonderful life
Great place to stay. Very clean and short walk to the beach. LOVE the deck swing..great spot for a glass of wine at night with the sound of the ocean and breeze. Communication with the owners from the beginning was excellent and very responsive. Highly recommend and would definitely rent from them again. 5 stars ⭐️ So sad to be leaving. Love Ocean Isle!

Family Vacay
This condo was the perfect location for accessing the pool as well as the beach. The cleared lot across the street gives a great ocean view from the shaded porch. Our family of 6 had plenty of room and the kitchen was well stocked with all that we needed for preparing meals. Kelly was quick to respond to all of our questions and a pleasure to work with. We will absolutely be booking another stay at "It's A Wonderful Life"!!

Great Condo - Short walk to beach.
This condo was very clean and nicely furnished. The elevator made it easy for us to get my 93 year old mother in and out of the house and out onto the back porch for an ocean view. She had her own bedroom and private bath that included a built in shower bench. The ocean porch had seating and two small tables that we used for our breakfasts. The porch also had a nice double swing chair and a lounge chair with cushions. House had a portable charcoal grill which we used out on the grass for some of our family dinners. We had extended family, so we rented two condos, and the proximity of the condos within the complex made it easy for everyone to get together while giving everyone the space we needed. The short (< 5 min) walk to the beach was perfect! We would definitely stay here again!

Great condo by the beach!
This place was everything we expected and did not disappoint. The view was so nice off the back deck and it hardly gets any sun during the day. It was a favorite spot of ours! The beds were comfy and the furnishings and decor throughout were nice. The kitchen was by far the best appointed kitchen I have seen with extras like a crockpot, muffin tins and cake pans along with a lot of other items. Access to the beach was so close and felt very safe letting our older teenagers go to the beach on their own. The pool was nice and the tiki bar too but wish the hot tub would have been hot but that is part of Islander Resort so they must have had issues going on. A helpful tip to anyone that hasn’t been to Ocean Isle before there is only one way onto the island so Sat evening the traffic is horrible because the police have to direct it around the roundabouts. It took us 50 min to go 3 miles (we arrived around 5). Suggest arriving early and taking advantage of the pool passes or beach until the house is ready. The owners were awesome and Kelly was quick to respond to any questions I had. Would definitely stay again!

Spectacular Family Fun in the Sun
The property is comfortable, clean and beautiful. Absolutely loved relaxing on the deck (as nicely furnished as inside, comfortable seating for all nine of us and a great view of the ocean). Just a short and easy walk to beach and oceanfront pool. Already booked another stay. Property owners have been awesome!

Great view, great location
This was my first time at Ocean Isle Beach and it was quaint and beautiful. The location of this property is perfect — gorgeous views from the back porch with comfortable outdoor furniture where you would want to spend most of your time. Short, easy walk to the beach. I enjoyed the condo for a girls getaway weekend but it would also be great for a family. Spacious open floor plan for us to enjoy hanging out. The communication with the property management team was wonderful. Not only did they offer frequent and fast communication but also were caring and helped us celebrate a birthday. Already trying to plan a trip back!

Perfect
Have never rented sight unseen before and was leary. 3 couples, we were coming down from NJ for a wedding and it was up to me to find a place. It turns out I picked prefectly. We were 6 houses from the wedding. Nicely appointed and plenty of room. Fabulous deck with an awesome view of the ocean. All of said we’d stay here again. The owners are very easy to deal with from start to finish. Thank you

Nice clean surprisingly large condo! Crisp clean linens. Elevator accessible. Kitchen well stocked with dishes/plates/glasses. Has a small wet bar as well which can be put to good use depending on the party :) Deck has a nice unobstructed view of the ocean above the dunes. Access to the beach is right around the corner. Description on VRBO is true to IRL! My party included my parents (82/72 yrs old) and one bathroom tub was low enough for my father to use comfortably, plus all showers have a seat in the other bathrooms.

Beautiful Condo - Great Location!
We've stayed at many condos in the Islander Villa community in the past, and this one by far is our favorite!! The unit is beautiful, well-stocked, and the beds are so comfortable! The views are breathtaking. I enjoyed every morning sitting on the porch in the sun, stretched out in the lounge chair, drinking my coffee and listening to the waves crashing. Very short walk to the beach. Owner is very nice and is great at communication. She was super accommodating when we accidentally left something in the condo and had to go back in after check out time to get it! Loved this property and will definitely be back!!! Thanks for a wonderful vacation at It's a Wonderful Life!

Awesome Spring Break!
Love, love, love this property! The location is excellent. Great ocean view with a wonderful deck - swing, rockers, and a large lounge chair - all super comfy! Easy access to the beach and pool. Our teens and college age kids enjoyed being close to N Myrtle for shopping but everyone loved the area around the condo and could easily have stayed local for everything. Owners communicate well via inbox and even text if needed. We had no issues. Super clean, modern decor, enough seating and supplies for everyone. This is a MUST!

Family Vacation 2020
The location of this property was perfect! The pictures were spot on and the owners were wonderful to work with. I would have to save drinking coffee on the back porch swing was one of my favorite things to do. This was our first time at Ocean Isle. We will absolutely consider visiting again and staying in this condo. I definitely recommend renting a golf cart to get about the island on, walking down to the western end of the island at low tide to almost walk across to Sunset Beach and find amazing shells and sand dollars, learning about the sea turtle nests from the local volunteers at dusk, and eating at the Boundary House in Calabash, Inlet View in Shalotte, and Sharky's on the island.

Family vacation
We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and the area was quiet. The ocean view was great. Only two problems. One of the bedrooms didn’t have a roku as advertised and wasn’t compatible for a roku. Second, we found roaches several times in the kitchen. Otherwise, we loved the vacation stay. I would recommend this condo.

Wonderful beach week
We thoroughly enjoyed our week. The location was great, just a short walk to beach. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the ocean. The kitchen was well equipped. The layout worked great for our family with grandparents, kids and grandkids. Nice to have parking for multiple cars.

Wonderful Life—space, convenience, amenities
Our family had a fantastic two week vacation at this lovely condo. We have been coming to OIB for many many years and this was the longest stay we’ve ever had, so we wanted to have plenty of space and ensure creature comforts—this condo did not disappoint! We were really happy to sit on the deck and watch (and hear) the ocean. We had great weather for most of our trip and enjoyed access to the storage closet and supply of beach gear and the short walk to either the beach or pool. Rokus in each bedroom and wifi were great, the kitchen was well furnished with all the tools and gadgets you could use, and the condo was tastefully and comfortably decorated. All the appliances we used worked well. Our nanny especially appreciated having her own “suite” and some extra privacy. The owners were responsive and helpful with rental, check-in, and logistics, and the keyless entry was easy and convenient. Having linen rental and housekeeping as part of the price tag was also nice—fewer details for us to arrange! We would definitely recommend and come back another time!

Very relaxing and exceeded expectations
Everyone in our party loved staying here. Very clean and comfortable. Appreciated that we all had our own space. The balcony was a huge hit with us. We loved relaxing on it and watching the ocean. Location was great, very peaceful and not busy. Short distance to surrounding activities, food and shopping. Easy and short distance to beach access. It was great that beach chairs were already there. We had some questions and they were answered in a timely matter. We would definitely stay here again!

Immaculate property, awesome location
This place is beautiful, spacious and immaculate. Having a bathroom in every bedroom was perfect, and we loved that two of the rooms had two beds. The beds were made when we arrived too which was an extra special touch! The decor was super cute and beachy, and the beds were very comfortable. The deck had very comfortable chairs, and the porch swing was relaxing and fun for everyone. The views from the deck were awesome since there aren’t properties built in front of this complex currently. The Roku TVs were a little tough to use, and they had trouble with buffering when everyone was watching TVs in their rooms at night The only negative was the strict 10 am check-out. We would have loved a little more time to have a peaceful breakfast before we had to rush out. The space was amazing, and we loved Ocean Isle Beach!! Can’t wait to go back!!

Memorial Weekend

Loved sitting on the deck, playing card games at kitchen table and the beach was wonderful! Property manager was quick to respond to any questions we had, and check in/check out was easy. We would definitely stay again!

EXCELLENT STAY!
We enjoyed our stay at Islander villas. The owners were absolutely wonderful! In fact, my oldest daughter had just graduated from college and the dining room table was decorated for her. The view was spectacular, the location was amazing. The unit was CLEAN and spotless! We will be back again!
