About this property

Welcome to Mountains-To-Sea. This amazing home sits directly on a beautiful 500 ft wide natural canal which flows into the Intracoastal Waterway.
+++A free golf cart rental is provided for all 7 day rentals.
Load up the beach chairs and cooler provided and shuttle your party to the ocean or cruise around the island to your favorite restaurant. This designer-inspired luxury home has gorgeous sunset views of the Ocean Isle bridge, along with open marshes, wildlife, and grasses every day of the year. Bring your boat and take advantage of our deep water dock or simply use it for swimming, kayaking, crabbing, fishing and paddle boarding. A fun week of water sports awaits you. Soak up the sun with our poolside lounge chairs. It’s perfectly understandable if you decide not to walk to the beach because everything you need is all right here! Relax at the pool bar and watch your favorite football team on the outdoor 55 inch smart TV or find yourself preparing a gourmet meal in the well-appointed kitchen boasting granite counter tops, a spacious over sized island with seating, and GE slate appliances including your own ice maker. The elevator is available to take you to every level of the home. The open, reverse floor plan gives you expansive views from every room in the house. Step out on the beautiful decks for one of the most spectacular views on the island. Watch the sun rise from the private master suite which boasts a luxury comfort king bed with a custom bath, soaking tub and a rain head shower. You will find designer furnishings inspired by Magnolia Home-Joanna Gaines and Rachel Ray throughout the home. There are eight Samsung Smart TV’s including a 75 inch flat screen in the great room. Stream your favorite movies and shows or browse the web directly on each TV. The dining area boasts a nine foot reclaimed wood harvest table locally made in Calabash, North Carolina. You will feel like you are spending a week in a home right out of the pages of Coastal Living Magazine. All bedrooms have luxury Kingsdown bedding, private baths, ceiling fans, and flat screen televisions. A full size washer and dryer is there for your convenience. A sitting room on the second floor is a great get away space when you need to send the kids to watch their own television show. No need to carry around keys to the front door as each guest will be assigned a unique door code to access the home. Walk to the beach or do as the islanders do and drive your golf cart to the beach and all around the island. Pool can be heated for a fee.

Thanksgiving 2024

We stayed at this beautiful beach house in Ocean Isle Beach over Thanksgiving weekend, and it was the perfect place for a large family gathering. With my parents, wife, son, sister, and her family all together, the house offered plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy quality time. One great feature was the well-equipped kitchen, which made cooking easy for Thanksgiving dinner. It was appropriately sized for a big group, with ample counter space, cookware, and appliances. Another highlight of our stay was the dock on the canal, where I spent some time fishing with my son. Although the fish weren’t biting, we still had a great time together. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed for larger groups. There were plenty of seating areas for meals and lounging, and the layout allowed for both privacy and togetherness.

Beautiful House with Amazing Location

It's a beautiful house with tons of space and loaded with amenities (including an elevator). Beautiful sunset views over the intercoastal waterway and bridge with a peek of the ocean as well. The Coastal Carolina Museum is down the street so it's extremely close to OIB's "downtown" area. A couple of times I need to ask Bob a question and he responded immediately and he even checked in to make sure everything was well. Great trip. Great house. Couldn't ask for more.

Mountains to Sea: Five Stars with us!

This property lived up to the reviews we had read. Not your typical, old and worn-out beach rental, with family photos and old furniture (you know the kind) in every room, but in every detail well thought-out and decorated as you would want your own place to be. The kitchen was top-notch with everything you need: good knives, an electric griddle, a large pantry for all the food the families want to bring, etc… We had a great week. The house has fantastic outdoor areas from the pool (in the shade mostly) with a TV there for the guys, to the deck(s), The property owner, Bob, was responded asap, with any questions that arose. It felt like he really cared that we have a great time & that meant a lot to us!!!

Absolutely wonderful! The house is extremely clean and orderly with so much to do and entertainment in walking distance. The golf cart made getting to the beach a a breeze and the kitchen actually had sharp knives! Bob called when we arrived to make sure everything was ok and is so nice and responsive. We would definitely book again!

Another Wonderful Family Memory

This is the second time we have stayed in this wonderful home. The home is well built and the amenities are unmatched. Everyone had their own personal space and we had beautiful shared spaces. The pool and TV was used every day. The kitchen is very well stocked. The location is perfect. Wendy, the woman who helps clean the house, and her crew were very personable and prepared the house perfectly for us to move into. Bob checked on us during the week to ensure we had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. Our family had a wonderful vacation together. Thank you for allowing us to share this memorable experience.

Rare find

This is our second year here at Mountains -to -Sea and once again did not disappoint. The elevator is a life saver. Bob is always attentive to issues that pop up. The house is spacious, well appointed and well thought out. Great views, a deep water dock for boats, and convenient to everything on the island. Extra bonuses: tons of spices, top notch cookware (we are all chefs), numerous kitchen appliances for entertaining, small containers of washing powder, dishwasher tabs, even some tupperware for leftovers. Ice machine! Beach toys for tots, beach chairs, bicycles, golf cart, pool toys. This place is exceptional in all areas! Just bring your toothbrush and a swimsuit.

Perfect Home

This property is more than words can express. This is our 2nd year using this home and it fits our family perfect. Our son brings his boat and the dock is perfect for it and for fishing and catching crabs. The convenience of the pool with 2 small grandchildren is perfect as well. The photos that are posted is just what you see in the home. Immaculate interior and exterior of the home and everything you need for a great vacation. We love this place and highly recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Bob and Sharon Purcell

Host profile image
Bob and Sharon welcome you to their home. We live in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Growing up and living most of our lives in the mountains and now building on the best little island in North Carolina has given a new meaning to the term; "Mountains to Sea!" We have three grown children and three precious grand children who always welcome an invitation to come to the coast. Bob attended UNC-Chapel Hill and Sharon attended UNC- Greensboro while their children keep the tradition of attending state schools with degrees from NC State and Appalachian State.

Why they chose this property

This home is a dream come true! After many years of traveling and exploring different parts of the country we decided to build a home where all our children could come and enjoy each other and have fun doing things we all love. Our location on Ocean Isle is perfect with easy access to the beach and boating. The gorgeous views will keep you wanting to come back for more.

What makes this property unique

If you ever have loved sunsets then this house is for you! It's a tradition no matter what time of the year to stop whatever you are doing and come to view the sunset each day. It is truly a thing of beauty as it sets over the Ocean Isle bridge and makes you thankful for each day you have to enjoy this beautiful world. Consider yourself lucky to have an open view of the green marshes on this large open canal. There is easy proximity to the boat launch and access to the Intracoastal Waterway with a boat dock located directly on a deep water natural canal.
