Nice condo with a great view and close walk to the beach. Enjoyed the stay. Good access to grill, pool and beautiful area.
4.8
The place was wonderful for our stay in OIB. Property is located right across from the public beach access and they provided everuthing needed for a fun time at the beach. My family had a wondeful stay and will be back again!

We forgot a bag with some much loved items and the owner was so easy to work with with getting it mailed back to me. Convenient location, clean and comfortable!

Pleasantly pleased with this condo. From booking to checkout Jennifer was absolutely great to deal with. The condo was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with just the right equipment. Will definitely book again.
4.8
Jennifer is the consummate host. Responded to every inquiry quickly and thoroughly. The condo has everything. I mean everything. Only drawback was no weather guarantee !! Ha.
Seriously, I can’t imagine a better experience. We will be back.

Loved staying at this 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo in Ocean Isle Beach & would highly recommend it it for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway! The hosts could not have been any more helpful before, during, and after our stay & were super quick to answer any of my texts. They made us feel so welcome, just like we were guests staying at their personal home. We knew all about our check in procedures as well as codes & passwords a couple of days before we even arrived, which just takes one of the worries about traveling away from home out of the equation!
The condo was exactly as described and the extras that were provided made our trip even better. Between the hosts and previous guests, we used so little of the "staples" that we brought with us--paper goods, garbage bags, spices, toiletries. We traveled from more than 11 hours away and it was wonderful not to have to bring our own linens--especially great was that they were of a good quality with the beds already made and the towels & wash clothes in the vanities! The unit was immaculate & the owners closet had all the beach provisions listed. The weather was not on our side so we didn't get to use the chairs, wagon & bikes as much as we hoped but it was great to know we could have.
We've been using VRBO for the past 3 years, all with good experiences, but this has been our most successful match for everything we needed at a place that was exactly as described with hosts who made the entire experience a terrific experience!

We have been visiting OIB for over 35 years!
This year was our 40th Wedding Anniversary that was made very memorable at Driftwood Oasis. Everything we needed was right there. This cozy condo was perfect, very clean, quiet and relaxing. Everything about our stay was excellent Quick walk to beach with nothing to carry. The beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, beach towels
and the boogie board provided us was wonderful. I would rent this condo again and would recommend it. I would like to give a shout out to Jenn for being a wonderful host!

Condo was excellent!! Communication was great! Could not have been any happier!
4.8
Condo is right across from the beach, so convenient. My grandsons loved having both the beach and pool to play in. They have everything you need in the kitchen to cook which my family loves to do together. We enjoyed every minute, and the host was really responsive when we had a question.

This was our first time staying at Ocean Isle Beach, so we didn’t know what to expect. Needless to say, we absolutely loved it there. And we loved our condo. It was exactly as described and pictured, well stocked, and beautiful. The access to the beach was literally a minute walk and made it so easy, especially with a toddler. This place was perfect for our family!
4.8
Very efficient check in. Property is dated, needs updated. Condition of condo was disappointing. We found a washcloth in the shower, sofa was dirty, water spots on ceiling. Not sure if unit was really cleaned so had to clean it first. The kitchen needs better cook ware. No non stick skillet. The floors under kitchen table had “ red sauce” stains. Aluminum blinds were bent. Towels had dirty looking lint on them.
Positives: spacious master. Nice view from balcony with nice outdoor furniture. Supply of beach towels and chairs for us to use.
That’s about it.
Will not rent again

It was really nice would stay again few supplies a little short

This property was just the right size for our family of 5. It was clean and looked just as advertised. We enjoyed the how much detail the owners paid attention to such as personal fans, a stocked kitchen, board games, family puzzles, and various equipment for the beach. The complex was quiet and full of friendly people (owners and guests alike). The unit was close enough to the beach that it was not a big deal to run back to grab a forgotten item or to take a child on a potty break. The owner was very responsive and it is evident that they care about their guests’ experience. We love the town of Ocean Isle and are grateful for the memories made there. We will be back!

We have been vacationing on OIB regularly for almost 40 years! This property is well-located with really easy beach access, which is it’s best feature. We did have to make a specific store run so that we could change the battery in the beeping smoke alarm, and the shower curtain and bath mat in the main bedroom were both mildewed, which was not good. Kitchen pots also not good. Upgrades on kitchenware and improved cleanliness would help this one.
4.8
This place is top notch! Everything was clean and well stocked for our short stay. Communication with Jennifer was excellent and easy to understand. We're already planning our next stay at this condo!

Very good communication, clean condo. Very comfortable close to beach. Loved it.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo, which is just a short walk across the street to access the boardwalk to the beach. We also spent plenty of time at the pool and the unit itself was nicely appointed and had everything we needed for a long weekend. The owner, Jennifer, was super responsive when we had questions. We would highly recommend staying here!
4.8
Ocean Isle NC is a beautiful place to stay and this condo is the perfect size for a family. With close proximity to the public beach access and a swimming pool behind the condos, there is always some way to enjoy the weather outdoors. The owners are very responsive and willing to help with any needs while staying at the condo.
4.8
Excellent communication from hosts. We were fortunate enough to add an extra night at the last minute. Had everything we needed for our stay. Bonus was having the bikes, beach chairs and umbrella which we used daily.
4.8
The house was exactly what we were looking for in a beach house. Love the way the house was decorated. Very close to the beach less than two minutes to walk. Beach was beautiful. Morning coffee on the deck was very relaxing. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, cups, plates, pots, and pans. Would definitely book this house again. Jennifer was very quick to respond to any questions I had.

This condo is in the perfect location with access directly across the street to the beach . It has a community pool which was a plus ! Plenty of room for 5 people. Beds were comfortable .Owners are very responsive. We had a minor issue that the owners took care of right away. Perfect little place to stay at to get away from the touristy types of beaches .
