Perfect Oasis!
Loved staying at this 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo in Ocean Isle Beach & would highly recommend it it for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway! The hosts could not have been any more helpful before, during, and after our stay & were super quick to answer any of my texts. They made us feel so welcome, just like we were guests staying at their personal home. We knew all about our check in procedures as well as codes & passwords a couple of days before we even arrived, which just takes one of the worries about traveling away from home out of the equation! The condo was exactly as described and the extras that were provided made our trip even better. Between the hosts and previous guests, we used so little of the "staples" that we brought with us--paper goods, garbage bags, spices, toiletries. We traveled from more than 11 hours away and it was wonderful not to have to bring our own linens--especially great was that they were of a good quality with the beds already made and the towels & wash clothes in the vanities! The unit was immaculate & the owners closet had all the beach provisions listed. The weather was not on our side so we didn't get to use the chairs, wagon & bikes as much as we hoped but it was great to know we could have. We've been using VRBO for the past 3 years, all with good experiences, but this has been our most successful match for everything we needed at a place that was exactly as described with hosts who made the entire experience a terrific experience!

This place was amazing! It will not disappoint! The kitchen was well equipped for all the meals we were cooking. (I did take a few things that I personally can’t live without when I’m cooking) but honestly, they had everything. The beds were very comfortable. Each room had a bathroom. It was so well equipped with games for families to play. The outside of this place was amazing! Honestly, you had a place to sit in the morning out the front door and drink that morning coffee. All the homes are equally beautiful, so peaceful to look at. Underneath the house, wow! It has hanging lights , it has comfortable furniture to all sit around ! The hammock was my children and grandchildren favorite! More than a few napped there! The beach was a pleasant and very short walk. They had multiple umbrellas ☂, beach chairs for all 9 of us plus a very large wagon to hall it all! They even had a cooler! Mind you, with 11 people we did need that extra cooler along with ours. We left behind some children sand toys to add to the collection! I hope the next group enjoys it just as much! The host were awesome! They even let me know when the turtles were hatching and we saw them doing it! Awesome highlights of our trip!

Our first time staying at the East end, but our 7th year at OIB. My teenage children loved having their own space and queen beds. The location to the beach is unmatched, and the putt-putt course and fire pit were enjoyable unique additions to the property. The memory foam mattresses lead to the best sleep ever, and the items provided (coffee, creamer, tea, beach supplies, shower supplies, sheets and towels) was a wonderful touch. The outdoor shower was a great way to get the extra sand off. We would highly recommend this home to anyone.
