This open floor plan, renovated home features a spacious 4 bedroom / 2 bathroom plan (plus outdoor shower) that has been expanded (over 1,600 square feet). Why Knot is located on one of OIB’s straight out canals putting you on the Intracoastal Waterway in minutes via your boat or our kayak (included) from your own private dock. There are lots of great spaces to enjoy outside whether it is the screened in porch, open deck to star gaze or the large space under the house with TV and shade all afternoon! And you’re within short walking distance of the new park and concerts, pier, putt-putt, restaurants and activities, and beach, or you can enjoy to quiet and solitude of being near the end of the street.

The tastefully decorated interior features a master bedroom with 1 king and a sitting area looking over the canal. There is a second room with 1 king that also looks over the canal. Enjoy beautiful sunrises from each of these rooms. There are 2 guest rooms. One with 1 queen and 1 twin, and a second large guest room with 1 queen and a twin daybed with a twin trundle. Each bedroom has a full closet. New bedding and frames, new sofa and loveseat, and smart TV’s (7) in every bedroom, the living room, and on the screened porch. The outdoor living and grilling area (blackstone too) under the house make for great relaxing and being able to watch all of your shows and sports from anywhere! The home has a spacious kitchen with all appliances and just off the kitchen is a main level laundry room with washer and dryer. The kitchen is fully stocked with kitchen utensils, pots, pans and large pots for seafood boils. Also, a crock pot and margarita machine. There is a regular coffee pot and a Keurig. The dining table will seat 6 plus 4 at the bar. New LVP flooring in the main area and master. Ceiling fans in every room. This home provides the best of the traditional beach bungalow with modern finishes and conveniences.

The exterior features a delightful screened porch just off the living room that looks over the canal with a sofa and two chairs, tv and sunscreens. There is also a main level deck with chairs and a table perfect for cocktails overlooking the canal while you enjoy the stars and the breeze blowing through the palm trees. On the ground level, there’s a spacious, clean and private outdoor shower, locking storage area for tackle, coolers or anything else with an ice maker and extra refrigerator. The cook in your family will enjoy the 4 burner gas grill and 36” gas Blackstone, both adjacent to the seating area under the house and out of the sun or rain. There is ample deck space with 2 picnic tables, bar and bar stools, lounge chairs, rockers and 6 adirondack chairs, and a swing. The dock has a very nice fish cleaning station with fresh water and a fresh water hose for cleaning your boat, toys or flushing your engine. A great house for those that love to fish! The 3 sided fenced area allows your pets (fee applicable for pets) to roam while you enjoy the deck space, dock and outdoor area under the house. There are crab traps on site and you can crab and fish off of the dock in the natural canal. We also provide beach chairs for your use on the beautiful OIB beaches! Ample parking ensures room for all both in the drive way and under the house.

The golf cart on site is not for guest use nor is it included in the rent, however we’ll be happy to provide info for rental companies that offer golf carts. Please feel free to enjoy the kayak!

    Only complaint the kitchen area around range had smell of urine so we purchased pine sol and mopped floors. Other than that perfect.

    Everything was great! There are a lot of extras in the house. The downstairs was perfect for hanging out after the beach and tne shower was a bonus. No complaints!

    We have been staying at Ocean Isle for 33 years. This was by far the cleanest and best maintained property we have stayed at. It was nicely decorated and the kitchen was large with plenty of pots, plates, glasses, bowls, etc.

    Love that all 5 bedrooms have a bathroom. And a 1/2 bath in the living room too. Convenient to beach access. Love that this place is dog friendly too.

    My family and I are frequent visitors of OIB but this was our first time at Why Knot. I can truly recommend this property for families and boat owners as the location is perfect. A short walk to the beach or the center of OIB. For boat owners you are a very short distance to fuel and bait. The property is well thought out and set up perfectly for those who want to spend time on the water. Kristen and Kent are friendly and prompt to communicate. They have thought of everything to make your time as enjoyable as possible!

    I can’t say enough about our stay at WhyKnot. The home was so comfortable and had everything you could need and more: a full kitchen, screened-in porch, and amazing outdoor area under the house. Right on the canal and only a few minutes to the beach. Kristin and Kent were so kind and helpful. I hope to go back!

    Why Knot was the perfect place to stay for us - comfortable for all people and dog, convenient to restaurants, grocery stores and activities. From booking our stay, to time of departure Kristin and Kent kept in touch and were informative. A lovely Welcome note and package greeted us upon arrival. I loved how everything was labeled! ....eliminating guess work. Even a reminder about the full moon and best viewing area truly personalized and considerate. We plan on staying here again! Thanks for sharing Why Knot with us!

    My family and I had such a good time at “WHY NOT”. We have stayed in several houses at Ocean Isle Beach and this house is top notch. The house was very clean, it’s on a nice canal within walking distance to the beach and the communication with the host was direct and easy. “WHY NOT”, has all the amenities you could ask for. You can definitely tell that the owners take pride in their property. We’re ready for a summer trip when we can enjoy the water. Thanks for trusting us with your beautiful home.
