Discover the delightful seaside village of Ocean Isle Beach and enjoy your ideal getaway at our four-bedroom holiday house. Comfortable SMOKE FREE family home, 4 bedroom, 2 bath with ground level but inside shower, 5 minute walk to the beach and great proximity to handicapped beach access. Cart, kids toys and beach chairs are provided. Second street runs parallel to Ocean front. Showers are available at the beach access and car and golf cart parking are also available if desired. MUST be at least 28 years old to rent. Saturday to Saturday rentals are needed during peak rental season.

I like to say the kitchen is vintage! Although not yet updated, it is equipped with all needed amenities including refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, blender and Keurig coffee maker (both cups and carafe). The bar area seats 4 and the kitchen table seats 6.

The den area is equipped with a flat screen TV. High speed internet is provided at no additional charge. Roku present for streaming.

Upstairs bathroom has a newly updated stand up shower with hand held wand. Downstairs bathroom has a stand up shower with hand held wand.

There are 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs bedrooms. Two upstairs bedrooms have a queen bed and flat screen TV's. A downstairs bedroom also has a queen bed and a flat screen TV. The final bedroom has 2 sets of twin bunk beds. Mattresses are new and comfortable. All TV's have Roku present for streaming. There is also a washer and dryer for your convenience.

This home has had recently updates/renovations over the past 5 years to include a washer/dryer, refrigerator and dishwasher. The deck and entry stairs were rebuilt in 2017. The air conditioner is 4 years old. Deck chairs are provided. There is a gas grill located at ground level for your grilling needs. Disposable grate covers are available for use. Grill MUST be used on the ground level.

There is an electrical outlet on the ground level designated for a golf cart.

Ocean Isle/Brunswick County has many amenities including tennis, 40+ golf courses and numerous options for runners, walkers and bikers. The Island is 7 miles from point to point.

There is a new and expanded Recreation Park on the island. Great for kids and adults. Each Friday evening from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day, enjoy a free live band. Movie nights are also a must do if on the island with young kids.

Hard surface tennis courts and a children's play area are available on Georgetown Road ~1 mile north of the bridge.

OIB and surrounding islands have excellent restaurants and grocery stores (Publix, Food Lion, Lowes Foods). Also 10 minutes from Calabash, 30 minutes from North Myrtle Beach, 10 minutes from Shallotte (Walmart, Lowes Home Improvement, Home Depot), 1 hour from Wilmington.

    Overall, nice home. Mostly clean, some kids hand prints on the sliding doors. Had to kill roaches/palmetto bugs each night that were in the living room area. Excellent stock of everything & nice walking distance to beach access. Not too far from the pier/center of the island. Great number of beds.

    Loved the area and house was just as described. Kitchen was a little dated but it was clean and got the job done! Beds were comfy and plenty of seating in dining area and living room. Great location! Very short walk to the beach! Great family vacation spot!
