Summary of reviews
Guests enjoyed the perfect location, well-stocked amenities, and beautiful home with multiple gathering spots. The house manager was highly responsive and helpful. Great for family gatherings and making lasting memories.
10.0 / 10.0
We really love the stretch of land between Carolina Beach and Charleston. Vacationed at a dozen places in between and found this house to be big enough for our family and centrally located whether we wanted to go to Southport and take the ferry over to Carolina Beach or a quick ride into Myrtle Beach or Wilmington. This place fit us perfectly. We also love just staying local and checking out everything ocean Isle had to offer. We loved it and will come again.

We stayed for 1 week with family. The teenagers enjoyed the location and the walkability. Beach access was easier than expected. The property manager was very communicative. You could literally show up with clothes and have everything you need. Fantastic home.

Ocean Isle Beach is beautiful in itself but add Happy Hours and it made a very memorable vacation. The home was beautiful, well stocked kitchen and pool/beach necessities and the location was perfect. The park, museum, mini golf, stores, beach were all in walking distance. We had a large group and the house did not disappoint the crowd. I highly recommend this house for your Ocean Isle stay!

Had an amazing experience at this property. My family and I were able to enjoy each other in an amazing space. The elevator allowed my grandmother who is wheelchair bound to be a part of the festivities. The only negative would be in checking out. Check out is at 10am. At 10:04 while we were getting in the truck to leave when we we approached to be informed we needed to leave because other people were coming. It was 10:04….

We had a w wonderful time at this property. We had a total of 19 (including some babies/toddlers) and everyone had plenty of room to relax. Kitchen is stocked, pool and deck are a nice size, house is 2 blocks from the pier, and kayaks and dock were an added bonus. And plenty of covered outdoor deck space to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon cocktails! I highly recommend this house and OIB. Such a quaint beach town.

What a great home! Large group who have traveled to OIB for years so we know the area well. We have stayed all over the island and this was one of our favorite houses yet! Well done!

The house was just the right size. We rented late in the season and the house was not as clean as we expected, but the property manager and owner had someone come out and take care of it.
10.0 / 10.0
This is a beautiful facility with comfortable beds and furniture. There are many places to gather both inside and out. The location is an easy walk from beach, shops and playground. The manager is wonderfully responsive. We are a family of avid cooks. The two dish washers and refrigerators were key. Just about any utensil or pot size was available. Some were in rough shape but there were duplicates. Be aware that the captains nook has very narrow beds built into the walls. It was best used for storage or as a last resort. It is not pictured on VRBO. The pool was lovely and supplied with plenty of floats and seating. The best part was definitely working with Alicia. She went above and beyond.

The “sand castle”

Our 50th Wedding Anniversary
Our stay was Absolutely wonderful!! It was nice to be out of the hubbub of Myrtle Beach area. OI is beautiful, quaint and relaxing. The house is perfect on so many levels that we had a hard time leaving it each day to go to the beach or explore the nearby towns. The kitchen accommodated the eight cooks in the family all at the same time. Fixing meals is together time. The views off the decks are amazing. The pool and house is landscaped with palm trees that blow in the breeze and are lite up at night beautifully to enjoy the sunset and evening. We enjoyed being close to the park and the community events which we enjoyed them from the veranda. We have memories we will carry with us forever 🥰 We hope to be back soon. Thank you OIBHappyHours!

50th Anniversary Celebration
Happy Hour was the perfect location and size for our celebration! The pool was well used along with the beach, community park, and local museums! Mornings and evenings on the porches made for making memories. Lots of music, dancing, conversations and playing games. Canal was the best fishing hole ever! Thanks for a wonderful family time for all of us!

The Devil's in the Details
This home was in a very nice location - within walking distance to the beach and a really nice playground. The kitchen was well appointed and the double refrigerators were a plus for our large family.
We did have some minor issues - our access code didn't work so we had to use the house manager's code to access the property. The internet was out when we arrived but that was rectified quickly. The other issues were mostly cleanliness items - most of the bathrooms could stand to be updated but in the interim all of the toilet seats and shower curtains need to be replaced. We also had to buy mattress and pillow covers because most beds didn't have them. We had an issue with the garbage disposal and the house manager was no help after being notified via call and text that it wasn't working.
Overall the house is nice . There was plenty of room for our large family, the balconies are beautiful and provided a lovely outdoor gathering space, the pool and barbeque areas were a hit as well.
*Tip - Refer to the room listing on the page versus the floor plan in the photos for an accurate bed count. Rooms 4 and 8 are configured differently than what's shown on the floor plan.

Friendcation 2020
We rented this property at the end of June with our high school friends and their families. It was a perfect house that entertained everyone! The pool was a nice added bonus as we spent a lot of time there after long days at the beach. We could easily walk to everything, and it was the perfect space to just relax, catch up, and enjoy each other's company!! I highly recommend this property...you won't be disappointed!

Well rounded vacation spot, something for everyone.
Great home and location for an extended family vacation. We have a very close family with a wide range of ages who love to hang together. This house offers plenty of amenities and conveniences for everyone. My daughter chose this for her sweet sixteen gift and it was one of our best vacations ever thanks to a beautiful home and very accommodating owners and property manager who made us feel very welcome! I highly recommend this place without reservation.

Happy Hours was PERFECT for our group! 8 adults and 8 kids! Could’ve had another family easily!
Everything about this house was fantastic! From booking, to check in, to convenience. Could not have asked for a better location!! The property manager was very responsive to any issues that came up, which were minimal! I would absolutely book this location again and hope to for next summer if we can make the dates work! OIFC actually picked us up at the dock 2 days in a row. Cheap plug for Captain Jeff too, he found the fish when no one else could!

Family fun
This house is wonderful. We so enjoyed the tables and chairs on the front porch to share meals and play games. The smoke detectors needed batteries and that was taken care of very quickly. The location is perfect for rentals,shopping, beach and ice cream. A great home with owners who care.

Great family vacation
This house is spacious and has something for everyone. Great location - walk to the beach in just a few minutes, easily walk to putt-putt, shops and restaurants. Pool on the property is awesome. Awesome sunset views from the top level and listen to the Friday concerts right from the outdoor bar. Thanks for helping us make great family memories.

Spacious
Good house for a large group. Rooms and area are clean, despite the recent storm in the area. Everything we needed was provided, and the house manager was very accommodating and very helpful. We called about the air conditioner in the 2nd floor and they immediately sent help who fixed it in no time. The manager was always available for questions. The guys enjoyed fishing in the pier which was walking distance from the house. We enjoyed the pool, the kayaking and fishing in the back, grilling in the garage area, and the music all over the house. Ocean, grocery, shopping area are very accessible. It was a good short vacation, we wish we'd had stayed longer.

Fabulous House!
This house is amazing - huge, attractively and comfortably furnished, with everything necessary for a great vacation. The washer and dryer, double refrigerators, and double dishwashers were extremely useful for a group of 17 that included three toddlers and four older children. The house is in a superb location, on the water, with a great dock for fishing, next to an excellent local museum with lots of activities for children and also next to a community space with outdoor concerts, movies, and a farmer's market. The house is a short walk to a great beach. We couldn't have found a better house for an extended family beach week! Thanks to the owners!

Everyone enjoyed their stay at this beautiful home.
We invited our friends and family to come down and we all had a wonderful time at this house. There were more than enough rooms and bathrooms. The kids really enjoyed the upstairs game room. We enjoyed cooking meals in the large kitchen as well as the outside entertaining area. We took advantage of the heated pool and loved sitting out on the decks. We also loved the fact it was so close to the beach and shops. We would definitely recommend this house for your next vacation.

Golf Trip
Great place. This was our 3rd time staying at Happy Hours, and wouldn't stay anywhere else in Ocean Isle. Very clean, tons of room, and the owner was very accommodating and responsive. Anyone traveling to OIB that has a group of 12 or more, don't pass on this house. We'll definitely be back.

Great House with all the bells and whistles!
We spent Thanksgiving at this wonderful house with our family of 22 (four generations.) Everyone had a wonderful time. The weather was excellent and the little ones spent many hours in the pool. The new playground was almost in our backyard. The house was well suited to a large group and was in a good location.

Beautiful!
The house was beautiful and we wish we could have stayed longer. There were a few things that if we were staying longer than we did, they would have been a problem if not fixed right away. There were a couple of bulbs out which made some areas darker than others. There were also fruit flies everywhere that we couldn't get rid of.
Other than that, the house was perfect!

Great Family Reunion Place
My wife and I celebrated out 50th wedding anniversary at this house the the entire family. Jonathan and Dale graciously allowed us to rent their house with two grandparents (us), four children and spouses and 20 grandchildren. There was never a lack of things to do from us 75 year olds to the 2 year old. Being an owner of a rental property in Acapulco Mexico, we appreciated this house that was fully equipped and immaculate. We also did our best to leave it the way we found it and were reimbursed the full security deposit. Our son-in-law brought his fishing boat, so the canal access was of great benefit for fishing and sight seeing on the water. Lord willing, we will do this again.

2017 Read Vacation in OIB
Our stay at Happy Hours was nothing short of fabulous. The house had everything you could ever want and in many cases two of them. As you think of what the kids will enjoy the most, the dock was never in my top 5 considerations about the house. The young kids loved the dock, we caught 3 crabs and one flounder. Our 3 year old checked those pots 4-5 times a day. We will have these amazing memories of our 2017 vacation in OIB forever.... Joan Read

Everything you want and more
This was a lovely property. Everything we needed was there in the home, there was nothing that we had to get outside of the home. The owners thought of everything The home was clean and comfortable. I loved the fact that there was access to the balcony from just about every room. The views from the balconies were beautiful and relaxing. The heated pool was an excellent addition to the home. We were traveling with my elderly mom and she loved having an elevator available.
The home is in a good location, close to the beach and stores.
The owners were easy to contact. The housing manager was very friendly.
This was my first time to this area and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The home made the visit that much more pleasurable. I would definitely rent this property again and would recommend it to friends and family. I've rented other homes but this was by far the best and nicest of them all.
Thanks you Jonathan and Dale for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.

My favorite yet! Both a beauty & accommodating!
My family and I travel quite often and we are a large crew - so we seek the larger properties that can host us all under one roof. When we arrived, we were thrilled with the home. It far exceeded our expectations. We coordinated with a local talent agency and planned a "murder mystery" that took place at the home for our last night there. The home proved to be the perfect space for our activity. The property manager was on site and always available when needed. I would highly recommend this property and the property owners! Sorry for the delayed review - but I definitely wanted to tell prospective guest about the great time that I know they will have!
