About this property

4bd Canal Front home with an Elevator, dock, fenced back yard, 2 master suites

The Coconut Cake Beach House - Ocean Isle Beach House on the Canal with an Elevator and Dual Master Suites.

This property is owner managed and maintained. Since you will be dealing directly with the owner and not a rental management company agent, you can be assured of receiving the very best personal attention. This house is our personal getaway that we open up to share with the public. Please note that due to this being our personal home that linens, towels and consumable products are NOT included. Please review cancelation policy. If you feel like there is a remote chance of not being able to travel, please consider travelers insurance through vrbo. I personally do not get any additional money if you choose traveler's insurance however, I have seen it save family's money over the years due to unforeseen health or family commitment issues.



Family Fun:

If you have been to Ocean Isle Beach, then you don't need to sold on what a perfect family paradise this area is. Its been well know to Carolinians for decades and the more time goes on the more national and international regard this island gets. So with that being said let me tell you about the perfect vacation rental property awaits your family and friends. This canal home property is on a direct beach access street. Just minutes walk or seconds drive and you are on the beach enjoying a fun day in the sun on wide, clean uncrowded beaches. The water is warm May through October and very clean. Swim in the surf, sunbathe, play beach games, build sandcastles, stroll the beach looking for shells, try surf fishing, the fun activities are many. When you get back from a fun day at the beach, rinse off the sand in the house’s outdoor hot shower.

Kayak or swim in the canal system behind the house. The water is clean and refreshing. There is a swim ladder on the dock for easy access.

Bring your boat or Jet Ski and dock it on the private deep water canal behind the house. For boaters the house has a great nautical location, located one minute from the Inter Coastal Waterway and 10 minutes from open water.

Private pilots bring your plane. Fly into OIB's own airport just a 5 minute drive from the house. Car service is available from the airport.


Sleeping Accommodations:

With a total of 2708sqf of living space you wont feel cramped as with some other vacation rentals that crowd as many beds into a space as possible. There are 4 large, tastefully decorated, bedrooms spaced far apart for privacy. A bonus 'Carolina' room provides additional area for congregation.

The bed configuration is:

Master BR1 -Located on the 2nd floor, One King size bed, private bathroom with dual vanities and a HUGE walk in shower (5'x5' with dual shower heads). Master BR2 - Located on the 3rd floor, One King size bed, private bathroom with walk in shower, private balcony with stairs down to 2nd floor, Best canal view of any bedroom and even a peak at the ocean. BR3 – 1 Queen bed and 1 double bed, is on the 3rd floor, only bedroom without a tv, and shares a Jack and Jill bathroom with the fourth bedroom, BR4 - 1 Double and 1 bunk bed consisting of two twin beds and shares a bathroom with the 3rd bedroom. - 'Carolina room' with a couch and futon, is located on the second floor. The living room also has a sleeper sofa with a double size bed. All bedrooms have plenty of closet and drawer space.

There are 3 large bathrooms. An hot water out door shower is located on the ground floor.


The House:

When you don’t feel like going out for dining at one of the areas amazing restaurants, the Coconut Cake’s well equipped kitchen is ready for cooking. A full compliment of cooking equipment is available for your use. There is even a food processor and bread machine.

There is plenty of seating in the large dining area with additional seating at the kitchen breakfast bar and you can't beat outdoor dining on the deck.

For entertaining, there is a large open living room with a bar area and entertainment center. There is a large HD flat screen TV, DVD, VCR, stereo system and a collection of movies for all ages. There are games galore for the family to enjoy. For the Kids (or the young at heart) there is the 'Carolina' room, a bonus room area set up for fun, far enough away for privacy from adults but within earshot of watchful parents.

On the ground level is an enclosed two car garage, 2 kayaks, rafts, fishing and crabbing gear, Foosball table, and lots more. A park style BBQ grill and Picnic table for canal side dining makes for great BBQ meals. There is plenty of outdoor seating on every patio and deck to maximize your enjoyment of the sun and breeze.

Great getaway and family gathering!

The property is just as described, owner was quick to reply to any questions. The location was perfect - close to shopping, restaurants, and grocery stores. Loved the ability to cast a rod right off the back deck to catch fish was awesome. The fenced yard made it easy to bring the dog. The 2 king sized bedrooms were great for 2 families. Plenty of room for all and the kitchen had pretty much everything we needed for a successful Thanksgiving getaway. The elevator was helpful for coolers, and the place was overall comfortable!

Everything worked out fine. The house was in good shape, nice neighborhood, and having a boat dock was definitely a plus. I'd recommend this home to anyone looking for a getaway on Ocean Isle.

Great family canal home near beach

We go to OIB every year or 2 with my cousins and our children. As they are adults now we were looking for more adventure and this home was perfect for that. Quiet street, beautiful fenced in yard, perfect for our small pups. Young adults enjoyed the dock, floating in the canal and kayaks. Easy walk (0.3 miles) to the Raeford beach access. We enjoyed the many decks in the evening (morning sun was too hot in August), the dining table is HUGE we were able to sit 10 people at it with another 3 at the counter for dinner. Laminate/wood floors throughout were great and easy to keep clean. Owner very responsive. Lots of space and 2 car garage. Lots of games and puzzles. We would stay here again.

VERY HAPPY with the property and owner

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is well equipped, perfect location on the canal as we brought our boat with us. And the neighbors up the street were very nice, they allowed us to park our boat trailer on their lot next to them. The property owner was very responsive to all questions I sent and was great to communicate with. We will definitely look at booking with him again!

About the host

Hosted by Jim

Host profile image
Our family are all North Carolina natives, (with the addition of two treasured transplants) so its suitable we are able to call one of the Carolinas' best beaches our second home. Our family is made up of everything from Health Care professionals and Carpenters, to Teachers and Musicians. We were raised by the golden rule and try to raise the next generation with that same spirit. We've bonded and shared many laughs, conversations, and a few tears in this home. After all 'You can have all of life's treasures, they are fine and they are good, they remind me that houses, are just made of wood, what makes a house grand, ain't the roof or the doors, if there's love in a house, its a palace for sure'.

Why they chose this property

This home and our family are only are a small part of Ocean Isle but Ocean Isle is a big part of us. We first starting visiting Ocean Isle because family living in the area. There is a lot of sentimentality for us all in the area and that plays a big role but we love the area, its a perfect family beach far away from it all to be able to relax and truly get away, but close enough to enjoy conveniences such as grocery stores and luxuries such as some of the most fantastic restaurants you'll ever dine at. For most residences of the Carolinas' Mountains and Piedmont there isn't a shorter drive then to Ocean Isle too. Bottom line is its far enough away from the hustle and grime of larger coastal cities but is in itself part of a very special group of small coastal communities.

What makes this property unique

Our home has an Elevator that goes to all three stories. That it a huge plus on the island due to every house having 1-3 flights of stairs to climb. Its obvious the luxury that this is for the elderly or those with knee or back problems but even for the average vacation goer its a HUGE plus. When you have kids, luggage, grocery etc its an unbelievable convenience. The location of this home is perfect. Being on a canal and having a dock allows guest to bring or rent a boat and have it docked right in the back. nothing like just putting the key in the ignition and boating wherever and whenever you like. The canal added to the beach being within walking distance makes it the best spot not only on Ocean Isle but out of ANY of the southern barrier islands of North Carolina. Our home also is not set up for maximum sleeping capacity, its set up for maximum enjoyment of our guests. We have TWO master suites with each a huge private bathroom. Each of the two remaining bedrooms have two beds each but are not cramped. Add to all of this our philosophy with this home is to have everything you need for the beach already there. No packing up everyone's bike, boogie board, beach chairs etc. No trips to Wings or Waves that puts a dent in your wallet each trip for things you may only use once or twice a year. Just pack your luggage, put the kids in the car and make the short drive. Also our home is set up with families in mind with a fenced back yard, kayaks, bikes, fishing poles, and plenty of activities to keep the kids occupied or to enjoy together. This home had been maintained and treated with respect; not beat on and abused as many other rentals have. We take care of our home and our vacationing visitors and guest through VRBO have noticed this and we are lucky to have them respect for their own, and future guests' enjoyment. We certainly hope you choose to join our 'extended family' as a guest, and make as many great memories as we, and many other guest have over the years!
