IDEALLY SITUATED ON WEST SIDE OF NATURAL CANAL WITH DIRECT ICW ACCESS
La Brisa is appealingly located on the west side of one of the very few natural canals on OIB. So, the canal side of the home is shaded from the hot afternoon summer sun. Our canal directly accesses the Intra Coastal Waterway, which is only 500 yards to the north.

SHORT WALK/BIKE RIDE TO EVERYTHING
La Brisa is short 500 yds to the pristine, wide beaches of Ocean Isle. The closest beach access is Monroe Street, which has parking for cars, golf carts and bicycles. It's a 6-min walk or 2-min bicycle ride. Public bathrooms and showers are also located there.

It's also a short walk (or even shorter bicycle ride) to OIB's eateries, the fishing pier, ice cream stores, mini golf, and arcades, the Carolina Coastal Museum and the new Town Park. The Town Park is also the site of the Friday Nighttime Concert Series that runs all summer. Families like the close proximity to the stores, pier, etc. because younger kids can conveniently walk or bicycle to the attractions.

MASSIVE REAR DECK AND TIKI BAR!
Massive rear deck with a 24' x 8' covered portion, a 14' x 12' uncovered portion, and a 12' by 10' pergola covered portion. The covered portion has three comfortable rocking chairs, and is directly accessed by the canal left side bedroom and the master bedroom. A seating area in the uncovered portion includes a Breezesta 4-top bistro table overlooking the lush yard and the canal. Two Breezesta chaise lounges are partially shaded by pergola covered portion.

We also have a bespoke constructed Tiki bar. The huge 8'x14' Tiki bar is under the home and is constructed from reclaimed wood from the original rear deck. A bespoke constructed cypress bar top is elegant but should be rugged enough. Behind the bar is a constructed-in 65 qt. cooler for ice and drinks. On the canal side of the Tiki bar is a sizable 12'x14' Trex deck with a teak seating area and a hammock.

MASTER BEDROOM SUITE
We have an expanded master bedroom suite by enclosing 96 sq ft of the original, covered deck, which created room for a king bed and a private, master bathroom. Two double sliders provide amazing water vistas and access the covered and pergola covered portions of the rear deck. We also installed a remote controlled, Mitsubishi "mini-split" wall unit that individually heats and cools the master suite. Also found in the master suite is a 39" intelligent HDTV with YouTube TV.

The private, master bath is accessed via a sliding door and features a huge, granite vanity. The master bath accesses a buddy shower room with a bespoke tiled shower.

A private bath for the front right bedroom also has a granite vanity and accesses the shower room.

The master suite and new bathrooms are finished with shiplap walls and engineered plank floor.

HUGE FRONT PORCH!
A humongous (24'x10') porch is on the street side of the home, with separate seating and dining areas. The dining area has a bistro table with two bar-height swiveling Adirondack chairs and two bar stools, and the seating area includes a double Adirondack glider and two Adirondack rockers.

The front porch is partially covered, and is a great spot for a morning cup of java or appreciating one of OIB's epic sunsets. The front porch also features Trex decking and constructed-in architectural lighting. The porch is accessed by lighted stairs that are covered so you can stay dry in the unfortunate event of rain when you arrive or leave.

COMPLIMENTARY KAYAKS, BIKES, BED LINENS, BATH TOWELS, BEACH CHAIRS AND BEACH TOWELS
The local rental companies say, "Don't pack it, rent it." We say, "Don't pack it or rent it, just show up!"

Use of our 3 kayaks (one 13.5' Perception Tribe tandem and two 9.5' Perception Tribe singles) is supplied in the rental fee! We also provide paddles and personal floatation devices. (If you rented these three kayaks locally, you would pay $400/week.*)

We also provide 4 adult bicycles, at no additional charge, so you can take advantage of our awe-inspiring location and bicycle to the beaches, stores and eateries. This saves you $160/week* or the hassle of schlepping your bicycles all the way to the beach.

Unlike many OIB vacation units, we also provide bath towels, bed linens, pillows and blankets for all beds, at no additional charge We also provide 4 beach chairs, and beach towels, also at no additional charge. This saves you more than $200/week* if rented locally and frees up all that space in your suitcases and car.

DOCK, PIER AND RAMP
We have a rebuilt 8'x14' floating dock that is a ideal place to park your boat or jet skis, crab or fish, swim in the canal, or just relax.

We also have a enormous (10'x12'), rebuilt fixed pier with constructed-in seating around three sides. The pier is connected to the dock by a bespoke constructed, wide (4'x12') aluminum ramp. An aluminum, ladder on the floating dock makes for simple access to the water for swimming in the canal, launching kayaks, etc.

TONS OF OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE/PROFESSIONALLY LANDSCAPED YARD
La Brisa features tons of outdoor living space to appreciate the water vistas and ocean breezes. The front and rear decks, and the tiki bar total 1000 sq. ft. of finished, outdoor space.

In addition, there is another covered area under the home and behind the Tiki bar, which includes a huge picnic table and a back bar, where you can enjoying a rousing game of ring toss.

Completing the outdoor living spaces is the sizable (10'x12') pier extending into the canal, with constructed-in seating on three sides, and a floating dock with a constructed-in bench. We also have four (4) light weight Adirondack chairs that can be comfortably moved down to the dock or pier or to wherever they are needed.

You can savor our professionally landscaped and maintained yard from any of the outdoor spaces. We have planted numerous varieties of palm trees, native grasses, annuals, perennials, and an herb garden. Our pretty Zoysia lawn is great for any outdoor activity!

VINTAGE CHARM, BUT UPDATED
The home has been modernized and updated. The center portion of the interior features a light filled, open living/dining/kitchen area. The remodel preserved the bungalow's vintage charm by keeping the original vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, tongue and groove paneling and architectural windows on the front and rear gables. There are tile floors in the main living areas and engineered plank floor in all bedrooms and bathrooms.

The kitchen has granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and maple cabinets. We added a shiplap accent wall and subway tile backsplash in the kitchen. The kitchen is very well equipped with all the expected cooking and dining silverware, pots and pans and appliances.

Two remote controlled ceiling fans in the main living area help keep things cool and comfortable, if you like the windows open. If not, the brand new HVAC system will definitely keep you cool.

AWESOME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS
The living area has a 55", flat panel, intelligent 4K HDTV with, YouTube TV streaming service, DVR and a DVD player. There is also a state-of-the-art SONOS sound system for watching movies in surround sound and streaming your favorite tunes. Free and robust Wi-Fi is included.

UPDATED OUTDOOR BATHROOM; LAUNDRY ROOM
Also on the ground level is an updated full, outdoor bathroom with Trex floor. The shower has hot and cold water, a large sink and a separate water closet with a toilet.

Next to the outdoor bathroom is a laundry/storage area with a full size washer and dryer and a second refrigerator/freezer. The bicycles, beach chairs, corn hole game, paddles, PFD's, and other toys are stored in the laundry room.

LEGENDARY GOLF: PERFECT FOR A FOURSOME
Golfers welcome! The golf in this region is legendary, particularly, in the spring and fall. And, our four (4) bedroom home sets up ideally for a foursome. Savor the great golf and then relax and enjoy the canal or the beach, which is a short six (6) min. walk.

There are over 100 golf courses, from Myrtle Beach to Wilmington, within a 1 hour drive, and at least a dozen within a 15 min. drive. Some notables near by include the Thistle, Crow's Creek, River's Edge, Sea Trail (Jones, Maples or Byrd courses) the Pearl , Oyster Bay Sandpiper Bay, etc., etc., etc.

OIB is also between Wilmington NC and Myrtle Beach SC, and all of the eateries, entertainment, shopping and cultural amenities they provide.

No smoking. No family pets.

Vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in Ocean Isle Beach. Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the best rental home in Ocean Isle Beach:

• To start, have your group choose date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Free linens, towels, kayaks, bikes! Walk to Town Park! Deep water dock! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what configuration is right for your family.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
