The property was as described. The owner was outstanding with communication. Although it was late November, and very cold, the little ones enjoyed the heated pool. The appliances all worked well and the area is quiet. We were all happy with our time there.

Beware of extra fees. 1. After selecting this property on line I was prompted to pay for renters insurance, (non refundable $) or a deposit that equaled the weeks rental fee & would be refunded at a later date if determined a refund was due. 2. The week prior to arriving was notified that if we wanted the pool heated there would be an additional $/ day cost that equaled can be nights stay. When asked if we could pay the fee for 4 days not 7 (grandchildren-weren’t going for the full 7 days) response was “ All or nothing “. So we payed the fee as pool is located in the back & in the shade all day. 3.We arrived on theI Island a couple hours early so I contacted the owner to inquire about checking in early. He stated he’d make sure the house was cleaned & text me. He texted a few minutes later to say it was good to go but it would be an additional fee / hour to check in at 2 not 4. Approximately equal to a half day rate. 4. There is a cleaning fee that is approximately half the daily rate. The shower curtains had black mold at the bottom, the cleanliness of couches in the main room we’re very worn & dirty. My grandson pushed a matchbox car under the couch so we had to move the couch to find it and it was obvious it had not been cleaned or swept in a long time it was disgusting what was underneath the couch.

We had an amazing family vacation at this house with 5 kids ranging from 9mo to 13yo and 6 adults. Amazing views considering its second row. The heated pool was fantastic, and our favorite part about the house. The house has great space for 3 young families to enjoy. Be aware that there is only one bathtub (for little ones), and the beach access is about 5 house to the left and right which isn’t ideal for young families carrying around beach gear. Would recommend this house to anyone!

The house was good for our group, the pool was enjoyed by all,.

We were a party of 3 families who greatly enjoyed our trip to OIB and found the house worked well for our needs. The kitchen was well equipped, the view was great especially for a second row home and the walk wasn't too far from the access. Tom was very responsive and friendly to any questions. We'd stay here again.

We had 2 families with 7 kids under 12 and they had a blast in the pool. We had a short walk to the beach and enjoyed the fireworks from the deck of the house. Would def go back. Great beach town. Thanks Tom.

The house is very large and perfect for our family of six. The location was good in that beach access was minutes away. Since it is located further from the middle of town, it was nice and quiet and traffic was never a problem. The owner was very responsive when I formed him of a broken handrail. He was also helpful with check in which was easy. The only problem we saw was that the house needed a good deep cleaning. The pool was very nice but there was an area adjacent(near the pool toy box) where water had collected and it was slick with slimy water. But the pool itself was clean and perfect for play with small children. Overall this was a nice place to spend our week and would recommend it for families.

Ocean Isle Beach was wonderful. The house was a close walk to the beach. We rented a golf cart for the week but we ended up not using it very much. The house was great. There was plenty of room for our family to all sit at the table together for meals. The bedrooms are spacious, the porches are great and the pool was nice. Just be careful the pool deck is extremely slippery on one side. The homeowner was very responsive and kind.

When we arrived the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes, the trash was completely full, and there was no toilet paper at all in several of the bathrooms and very little hand soap. We also found shoes of the previous guests under the couch. It was not fun starting off our vacation with cleaning and going to purchase basic necessities like toilet paper hand soap, and paper towels. It was also inconvenient to bring our own linens in general, but a lot of our car space was taken up by pillows we were told to bring on our way down, and when we arrived there were pillows there anyway. This is something that needs to be updated on the check in information so people can save room in their cars! It’s a beautiful house and a beautiful location, the pool is an especially nice feature. It would have been ideal, had there just been more attention to cleaning before our arrival.

This was a great location to stay at. The walk to the beach was very short even though it was not right on the beach. The owner was so friendly and helpful! Yes you do have to bring your own sheets and towels but it’s not a big deal. The only thing is to bring a sound machine because the house echoes. But we loved it and even stayed two extra nights!
