OUTDOOR LIVING: The Jean Jean has a large deck on the canal side with rocking chairs, lounge chairs and dining table that is the perfect setting for enjoying your morning coffee, large enough for entertaining, ideal for sunbathing in the afternoon sun, and relaxing watching the night sky. After a day of fun in the sun, unwind under the house enjoying a great breeze while lounging in the hammock or swing, grilling out on the gas grill and/or playing cornhole. This cottage is great for fishermen, boaters or those who love water sports. Bring your boat or rent a jet ski and dock it at The Jean Jean’s floating dock or use the kayak included in your rental.

    The Jean-Jean was perfect for our family! Great location, beautifully decorated and super clean. Host was very helpful with any questions, easy check in and out. If you want to relax on a great deck and fish in the canal this is a perfect house!

    This property is beautiful and fits all of our needs. It's only a two-block walk to the beach, and we rented a golf cart, so that made it super convenient. They have everything you need to fit 5-8 comfortably. The canal was nice to fish and relax, and the outside deck was very comfortable. We would definitely stay again. Bill was very responsive and was always in communication. Good people.

    We had a fantastic stay! The hosts Bill & Iris were incredibly communicative and friendly from the start, making everything smooth and stress-free. The home itself was absolutely beautiful—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared with everything we could possibly need. From extra chairs to board games, they truly went above and beyond to make sure guests feel welcome and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

    The Ocean Isle getaway was made extra special by the comfortable accommodations we experienced staying at the Jean Jean beach home. Felt naturally at home the moment we walked in as the place was really cozy. We didn't want for anything as the place provided so many features for enjoying our stay, including great porches with relaxing furniture, hammock, grill, kitchen features and water dock. Incredible comfortable bedding was top notch. Grateful to the owners and would recommend this place to all. Look forward to future return stays.

    Our family had the best time at the Jean Jean! Bill and Iris were the best hosts we’ve ever had at any rental property (and we’ve stayed at quite a few)! The house is lovingly maintained and went through a big renovation that has made it a fantastic place to spend a week or weekend. Kitchen was fully equipped, beds were super comfortable and the main area and porches had great furniture that made it easy to enjoy the spaces in full. We will absolutely be back!

    My wife rented the Jean Jean for our stay in Ocean Isle Beach for our wedding. We wanted a place to get a little privacy from guests and family during our hectic wedding week. The Jean Jean proved to be the perfect place. It's location on the canal and and walkable beach access were fantastic. The amenities and cleanliness of the property were first rate. Bill was great with communications about the property and the check-in checkout process were very easy. We look forward to renting the Jean Jean again in the future and would highly recommend others to do so for a great stay in OIB.

    The house is updated and lovely. There are a few areas that haven't been as updated but I am sure they will in time. We had a great time and no big issues. Check in and check out was easy and the owners gave us all of the information we needed. Loved that they had beach equipment and towels for us! One of the bathroom showers had a draining issue so we all used the other (nicer) bathroom without issue. There was also a fruit fly issue but luckily the house had some kitchen basics already there including vinegar so we handled it. Overall I would definitely recommend this property and we had a great weekend!

    We had an absolute wonderful time staying at the Jean Jean. My family made great memories and we loved the openess of the house and the large patio on the back. My daughter loved running down to the dock to look at fish. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. Bill was very communicative throughout the stay. We hope to be back next year!

    This vacation was amazing. Bill & Iris were so kind and awesome with communication. They were very accommodating with ALL aspects of our booking and so helpful. They had everything we needed + more. The location of this home is perfect and the home had plenty of room for the 9 of us. You can certainly see the uniqueness of this home with the beautiful details here. We will definitely be back to the Jean and Jean home.

    We loved staying at The Jean Jean! The house is just precious. We felt right at home the moment we walked in. The outdoor space has great outdoor furniture and so many spots to sit and enjoy conversations and laughs with family/friends. We rented a golf cart but because of the location, it really isn’t necessary. It’s always fun to have one to ride around regardless though. We have already booked again for next year! We are looking forward to our return visit to make more memories at The Jean Jean! ?️

    We were two families with kids, and the house was perfect for our needs. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The canal was so lovely for kayaking and swimming. The house was well-equipped with kitchen items, games, beach equipment, and more. The home is beautifully decorated and updated. We loved being able to walk or quickly drive to the beach, park, coffee or ice cream shops. It was a perfect stay and we hope to return!

    This house was perfect for our beach vacay! The dock on the canal was extra fun for the kids to do some fishing. The house was just the right size, and not too far of a walk from the ocean. The communication with Bill before and during the stay was excellent, we would absolutely stay at the Jean Jean again.
