About this Property

• Sleeps 20
• 8 Bedrooms
• 7 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Work or do school remotely with secure reliable WiFi powered by 1-Gig fiber internet.
1-Gig fiber optic Internet via an Orbi mesh WiFi router system delivers reliable hi-speed WiFi throughout the home so you can stay connected. Parents can work remotely, and kids can participate in distance learning with plenty of bandwidth for everybody.
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 completely 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 outstanding 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 amazing, 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 included 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 huge pool, hot tub, access to beach, and a restaurant (12 guests max 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 enormous 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 adore 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 huge 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.

Tips for getting the best rental home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Brunswick area area. To find the most suitable rental home for your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 8 Bedrooms, 7 Baths, Sleeps 20, Linens, Private Heated Pool, Elevator, Golf Near has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.

Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is right for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Call the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
