Welcome to Papa's Porch 2.0! - New for 2024

With 8 bedrooms and an elevator servicing all levels, the home is ideal for multi-generational families or other sizable groups. The home is located on West First St with spectacular vistas of the ocean. From 2009-2020, we owned another striking 8 bedroom home at Ocean Isle Beach and earned over 110 5-star reviews from our Vrbo guests. You can see the other home here, and we're responsible for all the reviews from December 2020 back: https://www.vrbo.com/2573689

The 4th (top) floor hosts the main living room with ample seating, an 85-inch Sony UHD 4K TV and a bar area with a wine refrigerator. The kitchen and dining area is located on the top floor, with a dining table that seats 10 and bar seating for 9 more. The top floor also contains a king bedroom with private bath, as well as a full-size laundry room with a second refrigerator, washer and dryer and an ice maker that stores 25 pounds of fresh ice. The 4th floor deck has an outdoor dining table, ceiling fans and plenty of comfortable seating for taking in the impressive ocean vistas.

On the 3rd floor (middle) you will find a second enormous living room, a king bedroom with private bath, and another king bedroom that shares a Jack-n-Jill bath with the bunkroom. Each side of the Jack-n-Jill has its own sink and toilet, connected by a shared shower/tub combo. The bunkroom contains 2 full-over-full beds. The living room has a 75-inch Sony UHD 4K TV. The astounding ocean vistas can be seen from the 3rd floor deck which has rocking chairs and a swinging day bed.

The 2nd (bottom) floor contains four king bedrooms, 2 of which have ocean vistas. All 4 first floor king bedrooms have private baths and TVs. The 2nd floor also contains another full-size laundry room with the same 7.4 cubic ft GE washer and 4.5 cubic ft GE dryer located in the top floor laundry. Both contain an iron and ironing board and we provide laundry detergent and dryer sheets.

The ground level has an 8' x 18' private pool. (Modest, we know, but big pools at OIB are nearly non-existent because the lot sizes are so modest. If you are training for an Olympic swimming event, then our home may not be for you, but if you just need to take a dip every so often to cool off while you are laying out, then we have what you need). The pool can be heated in the spring and fall. The outdoor living space contains a lounge area with a TV and a gas grille, and the huge side yard is the ideal place for a game of cornhole. There is an enclosed outdoor shower with hot water.

In November 2024, we installed a Tesla Universal Wall Connector that provides Level 2 charging to Teslas and most non-Tesla EVs.

So you can pack a little lighter, we provide a beach cart for transporting chairs, coolers and other beach gear. The ground floor also contains enclosed storage space for your gear when not in use as well as another full-size refrigerator.

Linens are included at no additional charge -- 2 bath towels, 1 hand towel, 1 washcloth for each guest, sheets and pillowcases on each bed. We supply our own linens, so they are not the see-through kind you get from rental companies.

We have 1GB mesh WiFi through the home and outdoor living area. All bedrooms except the kids' bunkroom have Roku TVs so you can login to your favorite streaming app. The home also has 100+ channel cable TV.

The kitchen contains a 5-burner cooktop with pot filler, oven, microwave, 2 dishwashers, 2 fridges, a walk-in pantry, 2 coffee makers and a Keurig machine with a starter supply of K-cups. The huge kitchen island has a prep sink and barstool seating for 6. The kitchen is entirely supplied with service for 20, pots, pans, bakeware, wine glasses, and all common kitchen gadgets.

Does your group have more than 20 people? No problem. Several of our neighbors have similarly large homes that can also sleep 20. Let us know and we'll help coordinate everything.

No family pets allowed and no smoking indoors.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Ocean Isle Beach vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Carolina Beach attractions and restaurants.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. New 8BR\/7.5BA with Spectacular Ocean View, Elevator, Private Heated Pool has 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is optimal for your family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• During check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
