To say we enjoyed our stay at Ocean Isle is an understatement. To start, Steve's communication with us was phenomenal, from ensuring we were settled in upon arrival, to answering questions during our stay, to post trip items. Steve even checked for an item we thought we left behind.
The location is amazing. The beach is so close. There are steps up and down the beach boardwalk, but my 72 year old father with mobility issues was able to handle them. The pool is also just a few steps away just be aware if you come in October, like we did, that the pool is not heated and quite cold. However, the hot tub more than made up for that. Between the beach and the hot tub, we were more than content.
The house was very clean and cozy. We spent many mornings on the front porch. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked, if you wanted to cook, although we ate out most nights or made simple grab and go meals.
October is also a spectacular time to visit Ocean Isle. You have the place to yourself. The crowds are gone and it's so quiet. We had the beach to ourselves most days. The temperatures are perfection. Slightly, cool in the mornings and evenings, but by noon you are totally comfortable to be in a swimsuit on the beach without melting and enjoy the refreshing ocean water.
We highly recommend Mermaid'sTale. Location, time of year, the house, amenities, amazing owner. You cannot go wrong. Enjoy!
