Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina
Please Check Out the Update Section at the Bottom. I am Constantly Improving Your Experience.
3 Bedroom (one bedroom is the loft) with Private HEATED Pool (no additional fee April-October for heated pool like most rentals), Pool Table, Ping Pong Table, Tiki Bar, Air Hockey, Foose Ball, On the Water
The 54 Richmond Street cottage is a fabulous, professionally landscaped beach vacation destination with a private swimming pool in back yard (not under the house). The cottage includes a private 20x8 foot dock with ladder on deep cement canal available for boating and swimming. The fully enclosed underneath of this cottage features the following outstanding vacation amenities:
Underneath the home:
1) a professional-sized pool table
2) a professional-sized ping pong table
3) a bar area that opens to the back deck
4) a bathroom
5) two TV's
6) a gas grill
7) a refrigerator/freezer
8) stairs leading up into the main level of the cottage.
9) Air Hockey Table
10) Foose Ball Table
11) Fishing rods to use off dock or beach. Technically, if 16 or older, you need a NC Saltwater fishing license. However, it is not likely you will be checked on the dock or the beach. If in a boat, very likely you will be stopped and EVERYONE on the boat will need a fishing license if ONE rod is on the boat, no exceptions from the game warden)
12. Enclosed hot water outdoor shower. Please wash off after trips to the beach before getting into the poor or house.
The main level of the cottage features three bedrooms (the loft is counted as one of the bedrooms), two full baths, three TV’s, washer, dryer, loft, large great room, covered front and back porches, and more – all porches painted in 2018 and the front porch was repainted in 2021. The property originally was built with an extra bedroom that has been knocked out to create a larger sitting area.
This cottage is ideally located on a cement canal 1 lot away from the corner at the end of Richmond Street - safe for kids to play in the street as there is not much traffic. Fishing is generally better at the end of streets as you can cast into the Richmond Street Canal or the Main canal running along Craven Street from the dock.
The 54 Richmond Street cottage is on the right side of the street; at Ocean Isle this puts the hot afternoon sun on the front of the house keeping the back yard mostly in the shade after 1 pm, which is ideal for grilling, swimming, and playing.
Two full baths on main level of cottage, and half bath underneath cottage and a enclosed hot water shower outside.
Refrigerator/Freezer upstairs, and another refrigerator/freezer are provided underneath cottage.
No Extra Charge for Heated Pool April-October. We can talk about heating the pool based on the weather in March and November, so please ask. I keep the pool at 85. Industry standard is 80 to 83 with a max recommended from the health department is 84 to 85. Guest are not allowed to adjust the pool temp, but I will have someone lower the temp if desired (not likely this will be wanted). I have the largest heater made for a pool (it will heat a pool well over 10 times the size at the property), but if booking in early April, or late October there is no guarantee the heater can keep up if the weather is abnormally cold.

You will not be disappointed because this home is beautiful, relaxing, and well taken care of by the owner. The porchs are beautiful to enjoy the breeze and the canal while the palm trees blow softly in the air... pure relaxation! The walk to the beach was short and sweet. We had our own dock so the kids could learn how to fish, and the pool was a great place to end the day. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. We had everything we needed! The owner is nice,professional, and conscientious. Stay here!
We had a great time at this property. There are SO many things to do. Fishing, Games, Bicycles, Pool Toys, Beach Gear, Infinite towels…. The property manager was very quick to respond and very helpful when we had needs. I was initially underwhelmed with the interior decor of the property, but that was really just personal preference. The furniture, bedding, games, and bathrooms are all well worn. The beds are not very comfortable and the mosquitoes were terrible. Would recommend for a family with a wide age of kids.
The pool and hangout area is fabulous . This is our 3rd year renting! Forest is very helpful and communicative! I highly recommend it!
This house has it all! Our trip included tweens/teens and adults and everyone really enjoyed our stay. The game room was a huge hit and got lots of use. Having the pool in the afternoon shade was perfect for relaxing after the beach. Forest was wonderful with communication and follow up. Even though the house is a short walk to the beach, the bikes made for a quick trip. Everything we could have needed was provided. 100% would recommend this house and stay again.
The owner is super nice and responded to my text messages promptly. He made sure we had everything we needed from towels, soaps, beach chairs, boogie boards, life vests for floating in the canal and even bikes! This was our first time staying on the canals. We loved fishing, crabbing, sitting on the dock in the evenings and floating in the canal. The pool area is a little slice of paradise. We had some rainy days, so having the games in the basement was wonderful. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and would recommend this house to anyone.
Perfect beach house for a family getaway! The set up is perfect for families with multiple age groups. The outdoor shower is a game changer! House has everything you need. Owner was easy to get ahold of and very responsive. Highly recommend renting a golf cart, makes it really easy to go to beach and get around the area.
We had a wonderful stay! The house was the perfect fit for 4 adults and 2 kids. We had plenty of space and the amenities are amazing. Loved the pool and all the games downstairs as well as the bar area and seating down around the pool. I recommend staying here for any family visiting ocean isle beach! We had a wonderful week and hope to be back soon!
Our stay was absolutely exceptional , it was hard to leave. The host is amazing and so responsive. This host definitely goes the extra mile for your stay. It doesn’t get much better than a clean, well supplied, greatly maintained home. There was plenty of linens and an endless supply of activities. We can’t wait to book here again next season.
Had a great time, loved the house
Our family had a wonderful vacation. House had everything we need and more. We would definitely go back ?
This house was so wonderful for our family’s annual trip to OIB. The downstairs game room was a real treat for our three boys (ages 14, 12, 9) - it rained a few times during our stay and this still provided them with hours of indoor fun. The pool area was fantastic - very clean, spacious lounging area AND a nice dock (with fishing gear/crab nets provided as well). The beach may be a bit far of a walk for little legs, but bikes are provided for a quick ride to the beach access, or drive there with easy parking at the access as well. Our kids enjoyed this house and all its amenities over the beach - we only packed up and took the whole fam to the beach twice (jellyfish this week were everywhere), although my husband and I did ride our bikes or walk to the beach each morning to catch the sunrise. Thanks Forest - our boys have already put in a request to stay here next summer.
This house was amazing and would definitely book again. The backyard is an awesome oasis with a beautiful pool and flowers and greenery. The dock is super nice and the house has everything you need. We had extended family staying at different houses and everyone enjoyed our house in the evenings for grilling out, the pool, pool table, air hockey, pool table and ping pong! Would definitely recommend!
Great property for family with kids of all ages. Close to beach and restaurants!
Fantastic house with amazing outdoor amenities. Forest was very good at making sure the pool chemicals stayed balanced. Its very nice having the pool heated too.
Forrest was very attentive
Perfect place for us to stay. We had a blast. Definitely will be trying to book again next year.
My family and I stayed at this little oasis for a small family vacation. It was beautiful and perfect! The owner was very responsive with any issues and took action quickly. Their hospitality was amazing! The house is clean, and gorgeous and the pool was a great touch for the kids! Especially on chilly nights! We will be booking this house again!
We have gone to this place the past 2 Spring Breaks and we love it!! Great for kids & adults. Would definitely recommend staying.
