The house has a very beachy look & feeling to it. Nice selection of sand toys & adult beach games and a few extra outdoor chairs. No closets but a place to hang clothes in every room. Big fridge. Nice clean & big outdoor shower. It was a bit of a challenge to walk up over sand dunes at end of board walk. Public access 1 house over with boardwalk all the way to the beach. We all had fun.

A bit campy in a good way. Oceanfront property to make coming and going from the beach easy with kids and beach gear. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Great experience. Owner was in contact with us before and during our stay to make sure we had what we needed. Everything with the actual property was great from location to the actual pots and pans to the beds. Will stay here again if available next time we come to the beach.

My family of 4 came down for a long New Years weekend and did nothing but relax, eat good food, and walk on the beach! We’ve stayed at the Ocean View several times now and always have a great visit. The home is clean, in good shape, and comes as advertised. And not to mention, right on the beach! The communication with the owner is amazing and he makes sure you know/have everything you need before you arrive. There’s no doubt, we’ll be back again!

Quaint, original ocean front (since Hurricane Hazel) wonderfully maintained with updated appliances and clean as a whistle. Had absolute delightful time with family and old friends dropping by. Not a lot of room, but plenty enough, since the Atlantic Ocean is in the backyard.

The house is dated but very clean and comfortable. The TVs could be larger. The location was perfect and the kitchen was very well stocked. We would stay here again!

We had a fabulous family vacation in Ocean Isle. Home was located right on the water and close to everything we needed. We will surely be back! Plenty of space for 3 couples and a baby ❤️ and a very well-stocked kitchen!

Been coming to Ocean Isle Beach for nearly 30 years, usually two or three times annually. Wish I’d bought a place years ago, before prices got crazy, but, alas, fate has made me a very experienced short-term renter. This was my first visit to the Ocean View. After four nights there during my favorite month (October), it will be the very first place I check when planning future trips. The Ocean View is an older, traditional-style beach cottage (open kitchen and living room in the middle, two bedrooms and two baths on each side, lots of wood paneling). The obvious highlight is the beachfront location at a comparatively reasonable cost, but I also appreciated extra touches like the updated appliances, new flooring, the grilling area with ash pit, and, last but not least, a great-sounding stereo with CD player. I loved being able to stow my phone, with all its interruptions, and instead of streaming, play CDs I had brought after seeing the stereo listed in the home’s features. Steve was an extraordinarily communicative, friendly, and helpful host, even texting me that the cleaning crew was finished and I could check in 45 minutes early. Great guy. In sum, there are fancier, newer accommodations on the island, if that’s your thing, but this comfortable, lovingly maintained place in an impossible-to-beat location is a truly special find. I didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return.

This was our 2nd trip staying at Ocean View on OIB and it was even better than we remembered the first time! The owner is very easy to work with and the home is perfect for our small family of 4. We find the home to be in good shape, clean, and exactly as described. You can’t beat being right on the beach and sitting on the porch listening to the waves at night! We will definitely be back for a 3rd trip in the future!

Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We had an amazing time!

Great location. Great host!

Perfect vacation stay for a family. The location was great and the cottage was very clean when we arrived. The furniture is outdated and very little storage space but other than that is was great. Who needs newer furniture when you have the beach front property❤️ My family had a great week and are looking forward to visiting again.

This was our second stay & we enjoyed it! Such a perfect beach front spot to enjoy time away with our family.

This little house, nestled between the behemoths fit our needs for a week at the beach. We were 5 adults and two toddlers; one of the adults was working remotely. My "must haves" for a beach vacation are beach front, outdoor space to watch the waves, well equipped kitchen, and one floor so as not to worry about toddlers and stairs. I spent most of my time on the covered deck. The split floor plan was perfect - kid family on one side, childless people on the other! One recommendation: if brining small children, bring a barrier for the deck like adjustable play yard panels- the railings are not toddler proof and a little one could fall through. Steve was a great host and very communicative. We had a wonderful week!

This is our 6th year staying at this house. The owner Steve is great to deal with.

Great location!

This was our third trip to the Ocean View and it was probably the BEST trip yet. There isn't anything to beat that view of the ocean and feeling like we are coming home. There have been upgrades that we notice each visit. This says so much about the constant commitment to upkeep and providing a wonderful hassle-free experience. Steve is a top-notch host - communication is excellent, and he is so easy to work with - even at the last minute! Can't wait to plan our next trip to the Ocean View! Thanks for providing the perfect place for our family memories!

This was the 2nd time we have stayed at Ocean View. It feels like home. Very clean, with great beach access. Mr. Martin is a wonderful host. Communication is outstanding.

From check in to check out this was a fantastic stay! Location is perfect. Steps to the beach and if u want to keep sand-free lots of viewing/deck space to enjoy just watching the waves. House has everything u need. Check in/out process was smooth and easy.

Ocean View was clean, comfortable,and love being on ocean Please don’t sale this gem of history and simple life

The property owner was very kind, communicated quickly and gave complete information!! The house was absolutely spotless and everything exactly as he described it. Planning our next trip HERE, in 6 months. Thank you!!!

Excellent place to stay!

Beautiful property on the beach! It is like a hidden gem. Just charming and perfect for our family of 4! The owner was great to work with, we hope to visit again!

Our stay was great. The property had everything we needed. Steve was great to work with before our stay. Would definitely stay again!

While the house was a bit dated, it suited our needs just fine. The house is right on the beach and is a short drive to some fantastic restaurants (especially in Calabash). It was an overall pretty clean property with a few areas that needed dusted, but nothing that made any of us cringe. Pots, pans, and eating and cooking utensils were available. Overall, we had a really great time, and the house was perfect for us!

My small family, consisting of myself, my wife, and our two kids (ages 11 and 6), spent a long weekend at the Ocean View to celebrate the 2023 New Year and we had a great trip! This was our first time staying at Ocean View and found the house was exactly as described. The host was great and the home was clean, in good shape and had everything expected. You can’t beat being right on the sand and ocean and being able to hear the waves from your living room and bedroom! We love the OIB area and found that Ocean View is close to everything we needed! We loved our time here and will have no issue planning a trip back in the future!

The property was very clean and nice. The owner communicated everything clearly and was very fast to respond to questions.

The house, the view and the host- excellent! We will definitely stay here again!

Second time staying at this lovely property and it was even better than the first time! The location is unbeatable and there were some noticable upgrades in just a couple months time. The host is fantastic and accommodating with high level communication. We love our special getaway!

Family loved view of beach and closeness to pier.

Awesome
