The house was perfect for our family. The kids loved the bunk room, the pool, the putting green, and the ping pong table. They said it was the best house we have ever had for our week together in the summer.
Our three adult daughters, three son-in-law‘s, and four grandchildren under the age of six came to Ocean Isle Beach on August 3. We loved the house, the pool, and the fenced in backyard. The hosts were extremely accommodating, including letting us get in before 3:00 which was extremely convenient for us and they responded to every text within 15-20 minutes. The only problem during our stay was when tropical storm Debby came in and forced us to leave 4 days early. We can’t wait to go back soon.
The house was wonderful for our group of 15 ladies!! The house was beautiful! We enjoyed the close proximity to the beach. We also used the bikes, cornhole and ping pong table. It’s a fun place to rent and would definitely rent here again!!
Loved the beautiful home and location to the beach! Owners very responsive to our questions and needs! Kitchen well stocked since we cooked in without having long wait times with small children in restaurants. We will rent again!
We loved this house!! The kids really enjoyed the pool and the putting green. There were 11 of us there and it never felt crowded. It would have been helpful if each bathroom had at least one roll of toilet paper upon arrival. The property owner was extremely quick to address any issues or questions that we had. I very highly recommend this house and would definitely plan to stay there again in the future!!
Enjoyed the stay. Would prefer lighter color towels and sheets. Spent a lot of time washing towels.
Gnats were in the kitchen. I bought
spray and that helped a lot.
It would be great if grab bars were in the showers. Did not feel safe in shower downstairs( with 2 dble beds).
From search to payment and contact with host, all went smoothly. The house was just as shown on the VRBO site and the amenities were excellent including safety features like fire and CO2 monitors, a great pool, 2 outdoor charcoal grills, ping pong, bikes, a small putting green, and lawn games. Our family of 12 was able to have their own space and shared spaces allowed comfortable together time. The kitchen was also large enough for several people to prepare food at the same time. Beach access was a moderate 2 block walk away. Parking spots were ample and on site. The 2nd and 3rd story porches were delightful for rocking and taking in the beach air. Our entire family from tiny tots to teen boys to couples and grandparents totally enjoyed the house from top to bottom!

Nice house with pool
We had a great stay because we were with family at the beach. The house and pool are lovely, but it is not well maintained for a rental property.
The house was clean when we checked in, but there are no cleaning supplies of any kind to keep it up.
Contrary to the website pictures, only three beach chairs were nice and usable, and only two of the four bikes were usable.
The front floodlights and a couple of recessed lights were broken which made it dark on the outside stairway and hard to play ping-pong. There is an old ceiling fixture box over the porch table with just wires and no light so the table was dark at night.
The filter in the refrigerator needed to be changed but there were no filters in the house. The dispenser could not be used as the water trickled out and the ice cubes it did make had a bad taste.
The owner responded to our first message when there was no toilet paper in any of the bathrooms when we checked in and delivered some the next morning.
We did not hear back when we emailed and texted on Sunday about the other issues
There were enough roaches on all three levels of the house both day and night to make it an issue too.

Underwhelmed
As a family, we rely heavily on reviews when choosing rental properties. Hopefully this helps future guests know they need to plan on packing or brining many standard supplies. There is no toilet paper. If a previous guest didn’t leave any, there won’t be any. 3 of the 5 bathrooms didn’t have toilet paper and the other 2 had very little on the rolls. In my opinion, there should always be 1 full roll of toilet paper in all bathrooms. A previous review notes this and the Owner response was the housekeeper overlooked it.
I suspect since guests are required to make their own beds, many sleep on the mattress covers as the top bunk beds and one other bed had soiled mattress covers. There are no blankets. Bedrooms have sheets to make your own beds and very thin bedspreads. There are a couple couch throws, but no blankets. If you sleep cold, plan to bring a blanket.
The house provides bath towels and wash clothes. But it took us a bit to find them as they are not bathrooms, but in the upstairs closet laundry area. There are no hand towels and very few kitchen towels.
The house notes a spa tub and a hot tub. I was looking forward to the hot tub, but there isn’t one. There are 3 mystery jets in the deep end of the pool but the timer that should turn them on doesn’t work. Not sure if this was supposed to be the hot tub or the spa tub.
The pool was great. The out door space was nice.
The house is large and has plenty of space for large groups. Just plan to bring everything needed
We will start with positive. House was great size for large group. Beds were comfortable and house looks just as pictured. The outside area was amazing. Loved the pool, bar and lawn games. And the downstairs ping pong and more. They had bikes, umbrella and beach chairs. Plastic dishes and wine glasses were a bonus! The house was pretty clean. Close to the beach. We rented a beach cart from local store for the week.
Negatives no beach towels. We had to drop $200 in extra towels so we had them for pool and beach. So plan to bring or buy. Only had bath towels. Some of the comforters were spotted and some of the washed sheets had stains. Once we arrived all the sheets were in a pillow cases on the bed for us to make. It was a little aggravating to make beds for 2 couples and 5 individual kids after a long day of travel. Not to mention 4 of those beds are bunk beds and have to wrestle them on. And with that note they are using some type of fragrance on sheets before or after washing which is not great for people with sensitive to this. This was a problem for our family.
All and all the place is great and our family and friends had a great time. Our littles were aged from 3-9 and had the time of there life.
This house had it all. We had 11 people on our group. This house allowed us all to have space for each family to be alone, and spend time together. It was a quick and easy walk to the beach with 6 kids 9 and under. The house also had everything we could have needed.
Thank you for sharing your property with us!
Everything about the stay was great. Most of the beds were super comfy and the family raves about the great sleep they got. There is a bedroom that has an partial obscured glass wall that lets light in, so don’t choose that room if you’re early to bed and not an early riser. The bikes were rusted so we didn’t want to ride them. It looks like there is a cool bar area being built in the pool/garage area which will be awesome for future guests. The house is about three blocks from the beach access but there is parking. A golf cart is helpful if you have a bunch of stuff to setup on the beach and want an easy ride to OIB restaurants, shopping and activities.
Thanks for having us, it was an amazing trip!!
We absolutely loved our stay at Mark’s house. The house was clean and the location was ideal for a weekend with friends (or family). You’ll love the front porches, spacious rooms, beautiful kitchen and awesome front porches. We will definitely stay again!
