The main living room has a 70-inch TV and the 2nd floor living room has a 55-inch TV. All 8 bedrooms have 55 or 42 inch flat screen intelligent HD TVs. The elevator goes from the ground level to the top floor (not the case in all homes with elevators). There are ceiling fans throughout the home, and the entirely outfitted kitchen includes quartz countertops and a double oven.
The home has 8 bedrooms (6 Kings, 5 Twins, 1 Double, Futon), 6 1/2 baths, and can sleep 20 in beds. Have more than 20 people? No problem as our neighbor can accommodate another 20 people in a very similar floor plan. Great to accommodate family get-togethers, weddings and other events that bring you to the island. It has a reverse floor plan, so the kitchen, living room and main master bedroom are on the top (3rd) floor and have great vistas. The home has a private pool on-site, which we can heat in spring or fall. The dual, heated outdoor shower is convenient for rinsing off after returning from the beach, and the shower deck is made from Poly-Wood, so you don’t have to worry about splinters.
This phenomenal home is a 3-min. walk from the public beach access. It is located on the beautiful west end of Ocean Isle Beach (fewer homes than the east end = less busy beach). It is at the end of the paved section of West 2nd Street, so it is safe for kids with very little traffic. With undeveloped land on 2 sides, you'll have exceptional, vistas of the ocean and sound from the wrap-around decks on each level.
With six King bedrooms, this home works great for sizable, multi-generational family gatherings and vacations with multiple families. We have also hosted many church retreats and corporate retreats.

What to Bring: A complete linen package is supplied for all of our guests, and everything is newly laundered each week (5 nighttime minimum stay). We do not provide beach towels or other beach gear. However, you can pack a little lighter, as we provide a beach cart, and rolling cooler for transporting kids, beach chairs, and beverages to and from the beach.
Conveniences: The home has a private pool which can be heated in the spring and fall additional costs may be charged. The pool area has resort grade furnishings, including reclining lounge chairs for sunbathing, as well as two tables and non-reclining chairs for pool-side dining. NEW for 2024 WE PROVIDE ACCESS (MAY-OCT) TO THE ISLES BEACH CLUB WHICH HAS AN ADDITIONAL LARGE POOL, HOT TUB, ACCESS TO BEACH, AND A RESTAURANT (MAX 12 GUESTS AT A TIME).
There is a full-sized refrigerator on the ground level to keep your pool drinks cold. We provide a number of pool toys and floats for the kids. ICE machine on the ground floor in the summer to fill coolers.
The huge kitchen is well supplied with service for 20. It is equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a smooth-top 5-burner stove, double oven, microwave, toaster oven, 2 coffee makers, Keurig, Ninja blender, dishwasher, and French-door refrigerator/freezer with ice maker and filtered water. There are plenty of pots, pans, casserole dishes, mixing bowls, muffin pans, etc. Several guests have commented that this kitchen is better supplied than theirs at home.
We provide all of the basics: dish soap, dishwasher detergent, coffee filters, etc., and a starter supply of K-cups.
The home is also equipped with a stackable washer and dryer, as well as an iron and ironing board. There is a clothes line in the carport for hanging wet beach towels and bathing suits. Laundry detergent, fabric softener and dryer sheets are all supplied.
Recreation: Of course, the main attraction is the beach but there are also many great golf courses within 15 mins. (and over 100 courses within a 20-mile radius of OIB). On the island, there is a miniature golf course and tennis courts. You can also rent bicycles or charter a fishing trip. The Museum of Coastal Carolina is located on the island. The OIB Property Owners Association sponsors a concert series every Friday evening during the summer at the new Ocean Isle Town Park in the center of the island.
Just off the island, you can find go-cart racing and more miniature golf. Silver Coast Winery is only 15 mins. from the island and offers tours and tastings. Myrtle Beach is only 45 mins. away and has everything from water parks to outlet malls to the NASCAR Speedpark. It is also home to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, a Class A minor league baseball team affiliated with the Chicago Cubs.
We are at the end of a lightly traveled street, so bicycle riding is a safe activity. Inside, there are toys and board games and a Sony PlayStation4 with mostly E-rated games.
Eateries: There are a number of eateries on the island, and more on the mainland. We do have a few favorites. For dinner, Roberto's, just off the island, is one of our favorites. The Bang-Bang Shrimp makes a great appetizer. The fish is always fresh and the pasta dishes are hard to beat. The pizza is so good we often have them prepare extras that we freeze and bring home. Roberto's also has a full bar.
Calabash, the 'Seafood Capital of the World,' is only 6 miles from OIB. For dinner, we appreciate The Boundary House. Capt. Nance's and Ella's both offer the typical fried fish, shrimp and hush puppies that made Calabash famed.
For breakfast, we like Castaways which is just off the island next to Tsunami Surf Shop, but it's modest so it doesn't work well for enormous groups. Our other favorite is the Purple Onion Cafe in Shallotte which has giant pancakes, blueberry biscuits and fantastic raspberry cream cheese croissants. If you need a caffeine fix, Drift Coffee Bar is on the island near the museum and OIB Surf and Java is just off the island in the Lowes Foods shopping center.
The OIB Fish Company has a rooftop Tiki Bar and is on the island just before the bridge. The Sugar Shack is highly regarded for its Jamaican cuisine, but call ahead because it is usually busy.
Note - There are security cameras covering the driveway and front porch. There are no cameras indoors or with a view into the outdoor shower or pool.

May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation!

• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.

In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the host before booking the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what is suitable for your family.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach destination you long to visit, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
