House was fantastic with lots of room and games. Kitchen had everything one would need to make a full Thanksgiving dinner for nine people, including pots/pans/crock pots/roasters/dinner ware. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and water pressure/heat handled everyone. Only opportunity for improvement would be making the upstairs bathrooms a little bigger.

Very nice, perfect for the family.

The home was very clean and well equipped for a long stay. The beach access was good and location perfect. The property manager was helpful and quick to respond to questions. The drier took a long time to dry even an average load of clothing. Be prepared to wash and dry towels well in advance of leaving. I would rent this home again.

Our extended family has been going to the beach for most of my life. We love staying beach front, cooking family meals, playing games and spending time together. The location and layout of this home was perfect for that. We also appreciated the use of the kayaks and bikes - that was an added bonus.

First and foremost, many thanks to Cliff, property manager, for his promptness and great customer service! The week at the beach was just what we gals needed to escape our respective realities. Plenty of room to be together and catch up. The only thing we all discussed was the overgrown two trees and bushes below the deck. They blocked part of the ocean view and somewhat inhibited the breezes from getting to us on the deck. We also envisioned a pool for those who could not make it down to the beach due to walking issues of their own. Maybe the owners could consider installing one some time . . . . ? Delightful cottage and we will be returning next year for sure! Thanks again, Cliff for everything!

There was plenty of room for our family to gather all together or in small groups and room for multiple board games and puzzles. Kitchen was well stocked. Being ocean front was a treat. We will be back.

Walk to everywhere!

Nicely appointed ocean front house. Plenty of room in the living areas. Kitchen well stocked. Very nice bedroom arrangement with individual bathrooms (2 of the bathrooms have additional access from common area). Some condition issues: fairly severe water damage in the ceiling of one of the bedrooms;. one of the kitchen drawers fell apart when we opened it. On the whole, however, highly recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

My family and I enjoyed the property over fall break.

This house has a fantastic location with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. We had ourselves, three adult children and their spouses, and two grandchildren with us, without feeling crowded. Checking in and out was a breeze, and the property manager was very responsive. We hope to stay here again!

Beach rental reviews all depend on the renters expectations. This rental property exceeded our expectations and we plan to set up our rental for next year soon. Our expectation was a house with okay sized rooms and a layout that was a bit better than all bedrooms on the same floor, no entertainment items (pool, game room etc) besides TVs (as is shown in pics and description). The rental is brand spanking new, but is extremely functional. The abundance of bathrooms is really nice as is the two rooms with balconies on the top floor. What exceeded our expectations is how much stuff is included in the rental- it really feels like you're stepping into a house that a person lives in year round (every type of cooking accessory is available, tons of dishes and utensils etc). We brought a bunch of cooking items not knowing and next year were leaving it all behind (except spices and seasonings). Additionally the house had kayaks available, a couple beach chairs, and a couple bodyboards (but those are deterioating). We used the beach chairs but didn't mess with the other stuff (again given the age of our kids we weren't adventuring far away). The rooms are quite large, we had at one point 6 kids (ages: 9, 8, 8, 7, 5, 4) in a bedroom upstairs (two to a bed and two on the floor) and they did great and it was removed from the living area that the adults could play games chat without the noise bothering the kids. The place has pull out dividers to block off two nooks (that contain sleeper couches), we didn't require use of these beds but really liked that a "private" space could be quickly created. The acoustics of the rental is great, I felt the rooms were very quiet. The access to the beach is spectacular and you are located far enough away from the "general access" point that beach goers don't wonder down to claim space in front of the rental. We did set up our umbrellas around 9am everyday to "claim" the space in front of the rental but I am not sure this was necessary (but we were up). The back deck and the boardwalk to the ocean are aged, I'd recommend you wear sandals to avoid splinters (my 9yr old found this out the hard way). But overall really great and the owner (Cliff) was easy to reach and kept us in the loop as our date approached. Highly recommend ....as long as you don't take our planned week ;)

House is in a great location. We enjoyed our stay very much and have already booked for next year.

First what’s good about this house… Cliff the manager is awesome. He always answers his phone and messages promptly. He is friendly and helpful. You can’t beat the location right on the beach close to everything. Lots of room for a large family and the house is well stocked with everything you need except consumables like toilet paper, soap, detergent. Every bedroom has its own bathroom so it’s great if you have a large family with teens or young adults. What needs work… House is very dated and the deck, windows, and doors need repair. There was a leak in the upstairs bathroom that caused water to leak downstairs We were there when tropical storm Elsa came through and water leaked through the ocean side doors and windows. There were ants in the kitchen and we saw a few coach roaches. I would imagine these things will be taken care of soon because as I said Cliff the manager is great and we let him know about everything. If you are looking for an inexpensive place with lots of room and beach access then try it out.

Property had table space, chairs and rooms for everyone to eat, play and relax at the same time.

This is a large house which can easily accommodate upto a tribe of a family! The kitchen is overly stocked with multiple everything (I did bring my own coffee grinder, but that's my thing). We enjoyed the ocean...I enjoyed the view and the seashells. The younger generations enjoyed swimming and some kind of boarding. This was a sentimental return to Ocean Isle. I used to take my children here when they were preschoolers. Now, I take my grandchildren who have just graduated from college.

We enjoyed the house and found it to be very roomy even with 5 adults and 7 children. I will say that it has a lot of glass tables and we found it not to be child friendly especially when a lamp was knocked over by a small child and broke the glass on a table. We had a leak in one of the baths but it did not interfere with our stay. Also the kitchen needs to be cleared out some as we had very limited space for our own food items. The location was great and we would consider returning.

We had 4 adults and 4 children staying at the house, and we had more than enough space. I liked the open sitting area, big kitchen table, and of course the easy access to the beach. Communication with the property owner was great, and we loved our stay!

Great location. Check in was easy and simple. Fantastic house for family and friends.

The house is very dated and needs updated. When we arrived the house was not clean and we needed to wipe things down. Needs a deep clean. Manager was great to work with and the location was great. Overall we had a great time just wish the house was newer inside with furniture and appliances.

The location of this home is superb! Steps away from the beach and a few minute drive from any grocery store or restaurant. So is the value dollar per dollar. It does need a lot of updates and we saw one too many bugs in the house... But we were very grateful to have been able to stay here.
