If you are looking for a place to hang your hat and have nothing but sand and ocean in your peripheral view, look no further! This property "has good bones". It has withstood the test of time thru many a hurricane and still, she stands proudly at the east end of Ocean Isle Beach. This home offers a step back in time family vacation vibe. Tucked away on the secluded east end of the island, this ocean front home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, living area, kitchen and a sizable deck that has unobstructed vistas of the Atlantic. Wake up to the sound of the ocean, savor your morning coffee while watching the sun come up. Your entrance to the beach is literally under the home, as the home sits in the sand!

For those reading our reviews from 2021, you will see the comments about the high tide coming up under the home. This is no longer the case. At the beginning of 2022, there was a considerable amount of beach renourishment finished, along with a rock jetty installed that has now turned the beach into an "ascending beach", rather than a "descending beach".

Ocean Isle Beach has many dining and entertainment options. There's miniature golf, the maritime museum, homemade ice cream shop, rental stores for just about anything, pickle ball courts, tennis courts and playground in the center of the island. During the summer months, there are complimentary concerts weekly at the Town Center. For the anglers, you'll find the Ocean Isle Fishing Center for charters and excursions.

Just off the island is a Publix grocery store and Lowes food store. Golfers will delight in the multitude of golf courses in the area. Within a 15 min. drive is Calabash, known as one of the seafood capitals of the southeast. A 30 min. drive to the south is Myrtle Beach with shopping, dining, golf and entertainment options to suit any age group. 45 mins. to the north is historic downtown Wilmington. With all the offerings at your fingertips, we welcome you to our home on OIB.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Carolina Beach vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Summer time is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. SPECTACULAR VIEWS ~ NO BETTER THAN THIS! ~ UPDATED! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
