Brand new gorgeous well equipped kitchen!… has refrigerator, ice maker, toaster, oven, blender, coffee maker, and all amenities for your family and friends. Kitchen table can seat 6 and the extended kitchen bar counter seats four with bar stools.
One of our favorite times is walking first thing in the morning or toward dinner time with appetizers and a glass of wine afterwards. Beautiful new deck just completed in January 2024.

The den has a new High Definition 50" TV with wireless internet for your convenience. Bluray DVD and Stereo.

Convenient beach access with showers is just a short walk away - approximately 130 yards. Additionally, car and golf cart parking is available is desired or necessary.

Tennis: Ocean Isle Recreation Park is on Georgetown Road, about 1 mile north of the bridge. Turn there and go 1 mile for 8 hard surface tennis courts with windscreens and water there. Nice children's play area as well.

Great vacation house

This was a perfect place for us. I can’t say enough how pleasant the experience was. It was more like a home away from home than a VRBO. The appliances in the kitchen were amazing. Everything was great. There were so many extra touches to make our stay a great experiences. Will definitely use this place again.

OIB stay

We had a wonderful time during our stay at the Goff's island home. This was an "overflow" house for our very large family and the Goff's location was perfect. Everything was clean and exactly as represented online. We had no issues or problems during our stay. All of the instructions for check-in/check-out, use of the keypad, wi-fi and remotes were very thorough. My family were the lucky ones who got to use this property as our "retreat". We will definitely keep this property on our radar for any future OIB stays!

Great location and options

We enjoyed our stay and appreciate how easy Tom was to work with. The house is very close to a beach access street and it was well appointed. It also has one of the best outdoor showers! Hot water, great shower pressure and high enough shower head for taller people. All descriptions were accurate.

Amazing Beach House

Can’t get a better deal on a great house in a great location to the beach. If you do come, I highly suggest renting a golf cart to get to the park, ice cream shops, and restaurants. That was the only regret I had, not getting a golf cart.

Great weekend retreat

Excellent experience renting! Short stroll to the beach. Less than a mile to the center of the island with its park, bars / restaurants, shops and pier. House was very clean and spacious. Excellent water pressure for great showers and comfy beds. Great communication with the owner. Beautiful island.

Beach

We had a very nice stay. There were a few gnats but we tried to kill them as we went along and I never could figure out how to use that can opener. The house could use a few games or something for kids but likely my granddaughter brought some of hers.. we would come back

Family Vacay #2

This was our second stay this summer. This time we had our baby granddaughter, her mom, and dad with us. Made use of the ramped beach access not far from the house. Plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and relax. Plus all the amenities for a comfortable stay.

Plenty of space with many amenities. Perfect for viewing the 4th of July parade. Comfortable with the exception of A/C problems. Owner was quick to respond. Looking forward to another stay we’ve already booked in early September. Did learn that with a baby it would be nice to be closer to a beach access with ramp

Comfortable and close to beach

We rented this house for a family getaway and it was just what we needed! Comfortable space, well equipped and nicely decorated. A very quick walk to the beach as well. The nearest public beach access has a lot of stairs, so if you're carrying lots of equipment to the beach just keep that in mind. We had a minor issue with the garbage disposal and the owner was very responsive and quick to send someone out to fix it. Overall a very nice stay!

Perfect for Our Family!

Nice clean property. Short walk to the beach. Short drive to the causeway to mainland. This house has everything we needed and more - it has a convenient outdoor shower to use after a trip to the beach. We would highly recommend this property and will stay here next time we come to Ocean Isle Beach!

About the host

Hosted by Tom Goff

Host profile image
Been coming to Ocean Isle Beach for over 50 years! Fell in love with it as a child so I decided to build a home there! There may be beaches that are equal to OIB, but NONE better!

Why they chose this property

Fabulous location, only a mile walk east of the main pier, and a 4 minute walk to the beach.

What makes this property unique

open den and totally NEW kitchen, internet, Directv, 50" 1080P TV in the den and a 32" 1080p TV in master bedroom. Recently updated bathrooms, 2 new remote control Hunter fans in den, outside shower which is roomy and great! (my favorite shower)
