Cute house in great location

This is a really cute house in Ocean Isle! The house is well-kept and the owners are easy to work with. We really enjoyed hanging on the front porch when not at the beach. Love the outside shower, too!

Vacation interrupted by Tropical Storm Debby

The home is as advertised. Perfect for our family vacation that we had long anticipated. The central living area was ideal. I loved the rocking chairs on the porch. So close to the beach. Kids loved the couple days we were able to be on the beach! Unfortunately, the weather was against us. I would definitely buy trip insurance in the future.

Perfect Labor Day weekend getaway

Our group with kiddos had a great time! The beds were comfortable; the beach chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys were plenty and functional; a very short walk to the public beach access and walkable distance to get ice cream or sunset slush and play on the public playground. We know the weather and waves can’t be predicted but they were also about as perfect as they come. Thank you so much for a lovely, clean stay!

Great Beach week in OIB

The residence was just as described on VRBO. The kitchen was well equipped and rooms were comfortable. The AMAZING beach chairs, equipment, games and toys were such a hit. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch to eat dinners. Overall, a wonderful week.

We enjoyed our return visit!

This was our second summer at Key Lime Cottage, and we enjoyed it once again. The cottage is very pleasant with a well-equipped kitchen, a large table for dining, a nice outdoor shower and great beach chairs etc. It's a short walk to the beach, which was great for young children. We will plan to visit Key Lime Cottage again!

Great beach house for a group of 8 women

Adorable cottage super close to beach access. Great layout with 4 bedrooms off the living room and then a bonus bedroom and bath in the back. Pretty and fun decor . You need to either rent linens and towels ( including kitchen ones which we bought and left there for the next people ) but everything else in the kitchen was well stocked. Our whole group loved staying there.

Wonderful vacation at Key Lime Cottage!

This was the perfect place for our family (4 adults and 4 children 8 & under). Loved the open floor plan, the cheerful interior, the well-equipped kitchen, the front porch with the picnic table, the great beach chairs, wagon etc., the outside shower, & the really short walk to the beach as well as the close proximity to the park. The bedroom & bath layout worked well for our family. We will look forward to another visit!

Great property and location. Across the street from beach. An easy 10 min walk down the beach to the grill and arcade. And a shorter walk to the Drift Coffee shop on E. 2nd. Less than 5 min drive to Ocean Isle Fish Company and Sharkey's.

a seamless and perfect rental experience

This was our SECOND time staying at Keylime Cottage. Since last year, the owners have made beautiful changes to the house. Many of the finishes are things I would pick for my own home. You can sense the pride of ownership and attention to detail, as well as the genuine care for guests in the smaller touches and communication. I felt like we were taken care of the same way the owners would want to be taken care of if they stayed in a rental property. The house was clean and updated and truly felt like a home away from home. I always say that I want my vacation stay to be in a place that's as nice or nicer than my home, and this home checked that box even before considering the proximity to the beach. We love the location - close to the action, but also quiet and relaxing. The house was so close to a public access which made beach days a dream. I loved our mornings on the front porch with a cup of coffee and the peekaboo ocean view complete with tranquil ocean sounds. We loved having access to chairs, toys and boogie boards - it saved a TON of space and made traveling from PA a lot easier. We cooked in, carried in and ate out. We had everything we needed to cook, grill, prep food, etc. We even had an evening where another house of family walked down for dinner and were able to accommodate 20 people inside and outside. The owners were amazing to work with and responded quickly to questions. We were even checked on by phone following tropical storms near us. I love this rental and would stay again without hesitation. In fact, I'd love to just move in - HAHA.

Fantastic location! Beach access is just across the street. Walk/Bike to restaurants, pier, slushies, putt-putt, maritime museum, playground, and shops. The house makes a great home base. Kitchen is well-stocked. Decor and layout creates a relaxed, good-vibes environment to enjoy vacation time with family and friends. Loved the personalized Key Lime wall art! Recommend!

Didn't want to leave

We stayed for three nights and it wasn't long enough. This house was exactly as described and was setup perfectly for it family. We it had one hiccup and it was solved with 30 minutes. The kitchen is completely stocked with dishes and cookware. There was also plenty o things to use at the beach in the downstairs closet. And the kids were thrilled with the gift bag! The walk to the beach is very short as well. We will definitely look at staying here next year. Thanks for your hospitality!

OIB at Key Lime Cottage

Love the set up of the house. Outdoor walled shower is awesome. I like that all rooms are on the same floor. This year we struggled to get a consistent temperature in the the bedrooms, front rooms very hot while back rooms very very cold and the ceiling vents would not close in the cold room to force air to the hot room. We struggled on both sides (separate AC unit for each side of house). The owners are great, I am sure they will do something to fix this.

Great Getaway

We were fortunate to spend a week at Key Lime Cottage. We found it to be everything that it was advertised. There was more than enough room for six of us - four adults and two kids. While we had additional family across the street that made for easier beach access, the public access was just a few houses down. Most conveniences were updated. We'd definitely consider renting again.

About the host

Hosted by Chad & Corrie Hunter

Host profile image
We love OIB. My Wife grew up in the Carolinas and I grew up in Georgia. We both love the beach. We found OIB about 10 years ago and fell in love with it. The island is set up perfect for families. One access on to island cuts down on traffic. So - we decided to buy a home on the island - and we enjoyed it so much - that we bought a small rental cottage - fixed it up and call it Key Lime Cottage. We put a lot of effort into making the home up to par with what we would expect to rent when on vacation. We expect things to work, we like things clean, we like to feel comfortable when on vacation. This is what Key Lime Cottage is about - comfort and feeling at home.

Why they chose this property

This style of this home is perfect for a family or group that wants to be together and be active on the beach and island. The home has a great feel - hard to explain - but its just a really cool house. A great beach cottage. Shotgun style with wood plank floors and light colors give it a fresh, light feel. Close to center of Island - no body can complain about not having anything to do. The beach is literally 80 paces away. You can see the ocean from the front deck. The beach in this part of the island is really nice - good waves, lots of shells, and great for activity on beach with wide firm areas for sports. The home is simple, clean and classic - the most charming cottage on Ocean Isle Beach.

What makes this property unique

Key Lime Cottage has wood plank floors, wood beam high ceilings that give you the feeling of stepping into a time in your past - of close nit families at the beach living together outside, loving life. This cottage gives that feeling - its a magical, simple cottage that has built many fond beach memories over the years.
