Slice of Heaven on the Beach

Lovely place, just the right size with room to move around. The balcony view of the ocean was perfect and we could open the door and hear the waves rolling into the shore. Just a short walk to the beach and a beautiful shoreline that we walked everyday.

Perfect Getaway!!!

Rented the condo for a couple days to give my 80 year old parents a couple days at the beach while they were visiting us from up north. They LOVED it!!! Right on the beach. Beautiful patio for enjoying coffee in the morning or an adult beverage in the evening. They liked it so much we are doing a couples getaway for New Years Eve there! :)

Exactly as Expected

Everything is exactly as advertised. Very clean, great location. View from deck is blocked because of the way the building is shaped but you are steps from the pool deck where you have gorgeous views. It was only my husband and me and we had a wonderful time!

Beachfront

Adequate space decorated tastefully in a beautiful beach theme. Central location made it easy to walk out on the shore or walk to some local food and the park. The host was very quick to respond and gracious to us during our stay. The facilities were well stocked and maintained.

My husband and I were visiting family who live in Carolina Shores and were happy to find this wonderful one bedroom condo on the beach in Ocean Isle. The Condo was very clean and just steps away from the ocean and 12 minutes to Carolina Shores and family. A great stay!

Perfect Getaway

Clean, cute, cozy, convenient...wish I could rate this ten stars. This is our third year spending Thanksgiving at OIB, first year staying at SIYP. The king bed was super comfy, whirlpool tub was very relaxing. I prepared our entire Thanksgiving meal in the well stocked kitchen while viewing the ocean. So peaceful and relaxing. We fell in love with this condo and have already booked for next year, can't wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Francie Dunlap

Host profile image
I'm a former homeschool mom who just moved off the farm into a neighborhood with a pool in Charlotte. Former research biochemist, currently a website designer and food truck leasing business owner.

I also rent out a condo at Sugar Mountain, NC (vrbo.com/2060546)

I'm a neat, organized guest and host. Not a picky eater, love new experiences!

Why they chose this property

LOVE THE BEACH! I used to rent out a couple condos in Gulf Shores, Alabama that were in my family for 20+ years. I sold those and bought this one because it's closer to home.

What makes this property unique

The town of Ocean Isle Beach is the best little ocean town in the south! My condo is right next to everything I want to do, and the people are wonderful! You can be as active or relaxed as you want here.
I <3 OIB!
