Ocean Isle Beach has a lot going for it; it's the PERFECT beach and the Seawitch is front row! Situated close to golf courses, outlet malls, musical entertainment, great seafood, and some of the most spectacular sunsets this side of the Mississippi! Come spend a long weekend or summer week in our cozy cottage right on the water where you can sit on the front porch and watch the waves roll in.

This Ocean Front Cottage on OIB is located where the island is the least crowded but the pier,puttputt, shops and restaurants are a short walk away. It is an easy walk to the Friday night concerts in the park.

The 'Seawitch', aptly named, because that is what my grandmother said she looked like as she came up out of the water from a swim, is a beautiful, family oriented, lovingly cared for, cottage style OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY at Ocean Isle Beach, NC.

This five bedroom cottage has two bedrooms with one queen-sized bed each, two bedrooms with one queen and one double bed, and one bedroom with two double beds each for a total capacity of 16 plus a baby bed in one of the rooms. We do not offer linen service, but we recommend that if you want book linens to contact Angie's Linens at Ocean Isle Beach, NC at 910-575-2788. Book early they are only open M-F 8-6. Or cut your price by bringing your own bed linens and towels.

Each year we do renovations or improvements in the spring. We are constantly upgrading and replacing items to make sure that you have a wonderful experience. Last year we bought five new hybrid medium firm mattresses and they are comfy. This year we are upgrading a bathroom to include a shower with a seat and we are adding a new glass panel door so your view to the ocean will be pristine. We do take our renters suggestions to heart when planning improvements for the next year, so please make any suggestions in our on site Guest Book. We would love for you to return year after year!

Built in 1979 with the 'old style' beach cottage in mind, the kitchen, dining area and the living room are in the middle and the bedrooms on the sides of the house. The cottage has three bathrooms upstairs, a outside enclosed shower downstairs, and a place to rinse off on the pier.

The real luxury of the house though is the front porch and deck area with its rocking chairs, picnic table, and loungers. Feel the ocean breezes flow over you as your cares slip away. No need to stake your claim by arriving to the beach in the early hours of the morning, as we are on a less crowded area of the beach, so you can just walk off our pier and set up your beach chairs whenever you are ready. Then, once you have had enough sun and fun for the day, run off the beach and straight up to your cottage, take a shower in the outside shower, and sit in a rocking chair until you dry off from your swim. The clothes line is usually seen with towels and bathing suits flapping in the wind.

Make yourself some 'Frogmore Stew', throw it out on some newspapers on the large dining room table and tell the kids to dig in. Hang up some party lights and dance on the deck to some Jimmy Buffett as the sun sets in the distance. This is the cottage to take you back to a simpler time!

This house is well stocked with items that many of the rentals do not include. The kitchen is fully stocked with enough dishes, glasses, silverware, pots, pans, etc. to feed large family. My dad thought he was Emeril so you will find all kinds of gadgets in the kitchen drawers. We also have books, games, and movies scattered around in different drawers/places for you to borrow during your stay.

For all you movie buffs and sports enthusiasts, you can sit in the living room and enjoy movies or sports on the large HDTV complete with BlueRay DVD Player and surround sound. Look out the window and watch the ocean instead of the commercials!

Focus Broadband High Speed Wireless Internet with several streaming services are included. There is a flatscreen TV and Amazon Firestick in every bedroom.

Our family has been so spoiled by this beach house that to go anywhere else is a letdown. The location is perfect, you will feel a stress let down as you cross over the bridge to the island and transition to 'island time'.

Staying at the family friendly OIB is the BEST place to be, but if you long for some night life and outlet shopping, you are only a few minutes away. Myrtle Beach is only 20 - 30 minutes south, and Wilmington 45 minutes north on Hwy 17. Calabash is known for the best seafood in the nation and it is a mere 10 minutes away. If you want to catch a movie, you can head to North Myrtle Beach. Golfers, there are golf courses all around you. Adventurers you can head out to The Swamp Park on Airport Road to go on a guided ATV or Swamp boat tour or even Zip Line. Historic Southport, NC is only 35 minutes away. When we are sunburnt we forgo the beach and catch the Ferry at Southport to Fort Fisher. You will not run out of things to do.

    Loved our stay! We did want to let you know the bathroom tub between the two queen rooms leaked thru the floor underneath the house abc the floor around it is very soft. Thank you for sharing your house with us!

    We love this beach house with the entire living space on one level. It is always clean and the hosts are attentive and respond quickly to any needs or questions. The house has everything you need including very comfortable beds. Home away from home. Highly recommend!

    Our stay at the SeaWitch was wonderful. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, an updated and spacious kitchen, really comfortable new matresses and a perfect location! We’re already discussing another visit! Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

    Wonderful beachfront home perfect for our family of five. Relaxing on front porch in the rockers and eating at the picnic table while listening to the waves was one of our favorite spots to be! The home is well cared for, plenty of dishes and cooking items along with spices/other staples and cleaning supplies that were so helpful to have on hand. A few extra beach chairs and kids beach toys were also a bonus. Within a 1/2 to the pier and few beach stores/ restaurants , but yet quiet and peaceful at the house, the location was perfect. We’re grateful to Kim and Eric for sharing their home with us!

    This was our first stay at this beach house. We chose it because we needed an extra room for our growing family. The house has a cozy feel. We loved the room configuration and the proximity to downtown (a short, easy walk). It was a nice family beach, clean and safe for little children. The fireworks display was spectacular! Communication with the owners was prompt and clear. We'll definitely be back!

    8 adults and 2 children family stayed to celebrate TG together. The house is an older home filled with charm and so many extras. The first night an owl landed on the rail to greet us. All the sunrises and sunsets you could want . Would absolutely stay again.from the deck.

    It was a great week. Loved the house and the location. Had no complaints. The toilet paper dispenser in the small bathroom was at a pretty bizarre location but I have long arms so it worked.

    Loved the property and location. Host is the best! Kim kept in touch throughout our short stay, because of hurricane Debby. Very very helpful and extremely understanding to our situation. I would definitely recommend this property!

    This property was everything the owners said it would be. Perfect for our family. My 2 year old absolutely loved the big deck! The owners were beyond helpful and super nice. By day 2, our whole family agreed we would love to book this house again in the future!

    My extended family spent a week at the Seawitch over July 4th. We were 11 total, ages from 2-68. The house had everything we needed for an easy, peaceful week. Kim was very quick in her response with any communication/question I had. We slept SO well on the new beds. We lived on the porch/beach, but were just a 10minute walk to the pier with putt putt, playgrounds, slushies, etc. The house was very clean for middle of the summer, and the children found it especially exciting to have a TV in every room :). This house is a gem, and we will absolutely be booking again! Thank you for opening up your lovely home. We made wonderful memories here!

    We really enjoyed our stay. We were lucky to meet the owners who were super friendly. They left the house well stocked with extras. The walk to beach was a little challenging for us with issues. But there was a public access a couple houses down. The owners were trying to make repairs outside as we could tell from the wood pile. I do wish that we could have seen the ocean in front of house but dunes prohibit that. We would return!! Thanks.
