We usually stay on the beach when we go on vacation but this year my husband wanted to be able to fish so we found this place on the Inlet and let me tell you we will never want to stay anywhere BUT this place. The house is on a quiet dead end road so there is no traffic, my kids were able to ride their bikes down the road to the candy store no problem. It was so quiet and peaceful. The proximity to the beach is great too, only a short drive. We spent our mornings at the beach and evenings fishing and crabbing off the dock. Ocean Isle Beach Fish Company was so good we ate there twice during our stay. WONDERFUL vacation.

My wife, my son, our dog and I stayed here and had a wonderful time. It has a great view and direct access to fishing from a dock in the Intercoastal waterway. The owner was wonderful to work with and we would love to stay here again in the future.

We loved our stay. Never have we had such a relaxing vacation. It was so hard to leave the rocking chairs on the back porch. Our dog enjoyed the freedom that the location provided. Beautiful view of the ICW. Fishing was fun. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful view of the waterway, very conveniently located. Beautiful old trees and wildlife. I would visit again. I would have given a 5 if not for a couple of inconveniences with the details in booking. The Vrbo app specifically says that extra fees Cannot be asked for a true service dog. We made it clear that the dog we wanted to bring was a bonafide service dog and asked about the Vrbo policy but was still told there would be a fee. Lastly, the 9 am checkout time is too early. You either have to prepare the day before you leave or get up at the crack of dawn which can be difficult.

I wish we had more time to enjoy the house.The view is magnificent, the house is clean, centrally located. Good time!

Great location. Great communication with owner. Would happily book again.

Perfect little place for rest and relaxation! This was our second stay here and we plan to be back! Clean and exactly as described. Beautiful views of the ICW.

The property was as advertised. Kitchen is well stocked, clean, neat. Wonderful view of the ICW.

It is a nice place for a weekend away: relaxing, fishing, crabbing.

Clean, cozy, quiet with beautiful ICW views. I can’t be positive enough about our stay. Comfortable beds, well stocked with necessities. Just a very nice stay all the way around. Sandra, the owner, is super knowledgeable about the area she grew up in and stopped by with yummy local donuts and a nice chat about some of the history of the area. I would highly recommend this experience!!

Wonderful home perfectly set under some great oak trees with a great view of the intercoastal enjoyed the stay would go back anytime.

The property was nice. Owner was great. Brought donuts to us. Needs more than one bathroom. With the tide you only like a 3 hour window to fish. House was to pricey for what you got, but still enjoy the stay and even though Sandra ( the owner) was awesome. Wouldn’t stay here again .

Great couple of days enjoying the beach from a cottage with beautiful views on the ICW just east of the OIB Causeway. We immediately felt at home in this comfortable and quiet escape. We’ll be back again

Let me first say the owner is a gracious lady who is happy to accommodate and answer questions and give some background on the area and history of the property. My husband and I had business to take care of in the area and didn’t want bothered by tourists but we wanted a water view. The cottage is immaculate, great views, quiet, shady, and did I say quiet! I’m a super host and Premier host…my expectations are high and this cottage is a 5 star stay. My highest expectation is cleanliness and bed comfort…these are the most important things for me and both were on point. We will be back in fall or next spring! Take a fishing pole and some firewood and hang out on the dock and enjoy the sites. The boats and shenanigans across the water are fun to watch. :) Elissa and Jimmy Benton Bedford County, Virginia

This was better than expected. Super clean and quiet. Loved watching the boats from inside and outside on the porch. Comfy bed with nice linens and lots of fluffy white towels. It had everything we could need during our stay. Very nice.

This cottage was absolutely PERFECT!!! If you want peaceful and private then this is the right place for you!!! The views are amazing and beautiful. Mrs. Ward was such an awesome host as well. Everything about the cottage was so clean and wonderful. We used the fire pit every night and fished every day and enjoyed the dock as well. The back porch was so relaxing as we enjoyed our breakfast and dinner there daily and watched the boats pass by. Thank you for allowing us to reconnect at your cottage and for your hospitality. PERFECTION and a true BLESSING!!!

Loved the property and spent most of the time on the porch overlooking the intracoastal waterway. Peaceful retreat and located near everything you need in just a few minutes. Will definitely return to this property. Owner was extremely sweet and very attentive to any questions that we had. Highly recommend for a great get away!

I just stayed here with my dog and husband. We immediately fell in love with the view. From the moment you pull up, you feel relaxed! I swear, even our dog was relaxed! We loved being able to see boats going by. We saw so much wild life too. Herons, egrets, and dolphins! You just don’t get the same experience when staying ocean front. This was our first time at Ocean Isle and our first time not staying somewhere ocean front. We didn’t even miss the ocean view! The cottage is super close to the main bridge to get to the public beach access points though. It is also really close to two grocery stores and cute restaurants. Try Causeway Gourmet If you get a chance. The garlic mashed potatoes were the best I’ve ever had. We enjoyed having a full refrigerator so we could have some ice cream when we got back from exploring Ocean Isle. It was also nice having dishes, pots and pans and silverware. Just be sure to bring your own salt and pepper. I really appreciated the communication from the owner Sandra. Super sweet lady! We will be back for sure!

Location, location, location! This property has an amazing backyard and view. We crabbed, cooked oysters in the firepit and just relaxed! House reminds me of an old seaside cottage. House was clean and very accommodating. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

The property itself is very clean and great for a quiet get-away. The views of the Intracoastal Waterway are spectacular. The property is very clean. The owner was delightful.

Wonderful spot! Wonderful experience!

We love staying at water haven house! The views are amazing and The owner is a joy to talk to. House is clean and comfortable with lots of places to sit under beautiful shade trees. We will definitely be back!

The property was just as described. Beautiful scenery, very relaxing. House was perfect, and Sandra was a wonderful host. Hope to stay there again in the future.

Nice location and property. Convenient to the beach and shopping. Great views!

This place has all the basics needed for a relaxing time.

Don’t know where to start. Amazing Inter Coastal views from the porch and dock. Nice yard for games and playing with dog and kid. Short drive to the beach, just cross the bridge and you are there. Enjoyed walking our dog in the evenings, you can walk to Publix or a local Ice Cream shop. Host is very nice and helpful. Will definitely stay again.

Very clean, small home with everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Everything from quality charmin to big fluffy beach towels. Host goes the extra mile. Even brought us firewood for the fire pit! Beautiful property very private amazing view.

What an amazing find! A wonderful little cottage nestled under cool shade trees with a beautiful view of the waterway. The house was very clean, well stocked with necessities and the host is the sweetest!!

Very nice

If you want to unwind, restore, and just chill out—this sweet spot is your the answer. The hostess is so welcoming, southern hospitality at its best! The fact it is puppy friendly is such an asset to us. Stayed here before, and we will be back.

Very clean cottage with all the things we needed for our stay!
