Located in the peaceful community of Island Park Cottages, this waterfront home places the best of Ocean Isle Beach at your fingertips. Here, on the edge of a small community pond, you'll be a quick walk from a beach access point and Island Park's two seasonal swimming pools and fishing piers.

Come home from a day of swimming or boogie boarding to rinse off in the outdoor shower and relax on the ground-floor patio, where you'll find a gas grill, a picnic area, and a grassy lawn at thelagoon's edge. As you head upstairs, you'll be greeted by a cool blast of central air conditioning, a washer/dryer to take care of your swimsuits and beach towels, and an open great room with two-story ceilings. This room combines a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, a dining room table, and a living room with ample seating and a large smart TV.

Spend the evening outside on the deck, where you can dine al fresco, sip coffee in a rocking chair, or simply admire the sunset view overlooking the pond.

THINGS TO KNOW
The two unheated community pools are open from April 1 to October 31.
No fishing or swimming is allowed in the pond.

    A great house in a very nice community. The property had everything you needed for a fantastic beach vacation. It was our first time in Ocean Isle Beach and we will be back. The home and Island exceeded our expectations.

    Place needs a deep cleaning and several repairs. The dishwasher marginally worked after we cleaned the filter and drain area (disgustingly filthy). Hot water was spotty at best and overall water pressure was weak. Pool needed cleaning. Grass was not cut. Overall cleanliness was poor. Location was good. Needs TLC in many areas. Garage was nice item but it was trashed inside.

    I have rented a house in Holden Beach and Myrtle Beach during the last 2 decades using local rental agencies. This was the first time I had to use Vacasa and the very first time the house was not ready for use upon arrival. The beds were not made, the rooms were not clean, and the kitchen had unusable pots and pans.

    Cute older beach house that is first row, direct beach access, and spacious. Layout worked well for us and the owners stopped by (after calling) and were extremely nice...even helped us get the pool heated after going back and forth with Vacasa about it. (just FYI, it's not explicit in the listing but you must pay for pool heating for the entire stay and they can turn it on from their end very easily).

    First of all there was a glitch with reserving the pool and management spoke to me online and on the phone and we solved it amicably. Hey, mistakes happen but it's how they are handled that makes or breaks things for us and it couldn't have been handled better. And for the record, my family really enjoyed the pool.Back to the stay. It was perfect. We were looking for a place to relax with our teenagers before the oldest heads to college in the fall. Teenage boys need their own space, Mommas need their boys nearby and Dads need a bit of both. This property was perfect. The fact that it was all on one floor meant the boys could each have their own space but not disappear. The kitchen was open so all 4 of us took turns making the big meal of the day but we were all around and available to help. The wall of windows looking out to the poarch and ocean was magnificent. We spent a good bit of time sitting out there with a cozy blanket and warm coffee's. One of the very best things was the walkway to the beach. Some houses we've stayed in have been beachfront but still quite a distance from the actual beach. Not this property. The walk to the beach was short and sweet, you didn't feel like you were committing to a hike just to go stand on the beach and gaze out to sea for a few minutes. Being near the ocean is our families happy place--this property only enhanced that. We will be back.

    The Suncatcher is an exemplary home for a beach vacation. It was the most comfortable and welcoming of our senior sister get togethers over the years. The house is beautifully decorated and appointed, and the linens were a very welcome addition. The walk to the beach took only a little while, and we were blessed with beautiful weather to enjoy it. I felt like our every need was anticipated!! It was an excellent location for walks, finding shells, and eating out. So many good restaurants in the area! We were sad to leave our home away from home.

    This was our second time staying at the Suncatcher we had a great trip again! Sad to say goodbye we have a special place for Island Park in our hearts we love the proximity to the beach and how close the pools are we always trailer down our golf cart which is easier for us than renting one but it’s a must have for carting toddlers to and from the beach when someone has to go potty or take a nap etc. this house has everything you need to make meals did your family and we appreciate the toys as well our kids even remembered some of their favorite toys from our last time staying there which makes it feel more like home. Thanks again for a great stay we will be back next summer!

    Our family thoroughly enjoyed The Summer House for our family vacation this year. House was well laid out with comfortable beds, plenty of bathrooms, great common areas and covered deck. Beach was amazing with plenty of space to ourselves. Private pool was a hit, especially with the kids. Nothing like being steps from the beach! Highly recommend this rental!

    Our family had the most wonderful time staying at this property. The home is beautifully decorated and well stocked with the items you need. The back deck is perfect for your morning coffee or reading a book (and checking to see how crowded the pool might be.) :)

    This property was everything we had hoped for. It was in an excellent location, with a pond in the back. We fished and watched for turtles and the pool was right across the water. The beach was with walking distance. The kitchen had everything we needed as well as other amenities on the property. You will not be disappointed!

    Booked last minute for a beach trip with kids ( ages 5 and 7) and had a great time. Home is very well stocked, able to cook easily and lots of nice to haves like starter toiletries, dish, laundry detergent etc… Easy walk to the beach, the pool was a hit and the neighborhood was great for evening bike rides. Appreciated the blackout curtains in the kids room especially during the summer hours and the beach toys available. Definitely will look to book again !

    Been coming here for several years now, and it's great every time. We come for the beach, but the pool is a great addition that was enjoyed by all. Location and beach access is excellent. We also find the beach crowd very light in this area, which is nice.
