It Happened: Waterfront, Walk to Beach, Patio

Cute, cozy family home located in a great location close to ocean isle beach and sunset beach. The kitchen had lots of spices, and was full of gadgets and a mix of many many containers. However, they are very much in need of coffee mugs as well as decent cookware. No one uses the old aluminum pans that anything you cook in them, sticks. The kitchen needs some decluttering. We did move the placement of the living room tv, our baby almost pulled it down on himself. The home could also use more outdoor seating and space. Being able to include our dog was wonderful! The house does have comfy beds and we did have enough room for our large group. I would recommend adding an extra tv, at least in the master bedroom. This day in age, its hard for a large group to share one small living room tv. The house overall was comfortable and we all really enjoyed our stay. Everyone in the neighborhood was also very friendly, as i was out everyday walking my dog. I would recommend this rental to anyone wanting a convenient location for a large crowd and with any pets! Thank for our stay!

We enjoyed the hammock, swing bed and all of the Adirondack chairs downstairs next to the water. This home is clean, decorated nicely and has some great amenities!

This house was absolutely amazing. The host has thought of almost anything that’s needed. Starting with the outside, the house and community are well kept. Palm trees everywhere, yards well kept. The outside furniture was very nice and comfortable, it included a hammock, an outside swinging bed, many chairs, and high captains chairs on the upstairs deck. The house had a lagoon with a fountain in back. We enjoyed watching fish jump and turtles swim in it. The inside was very comfortable. The beds were great and so was the couch so relaxing inside was easy as well. The kitchen had everything necessary to cook at the house if that’s what you wanted to do. Very nice pots and pans, storage containers, a great coffee pot and a wonderful blender. The amenities aside, I was surprised to find things in the house that were there, left from previous renters or from the owners, that were so nice to have. Many common spices, flour, sugar, ketchup, mustard, mayo, some eggs etc. The bathrooms had shampoo and conditioner, shower gel, lotions. I realize that none of these things are a constant from an availability standpoint, but seeing these items not go to waste, paying it forward and helping the next vacationers was so great to see. They had many needed items like beach chairs, skim board, beach umbrella, beach games, corn hole and a bonus- a shibumi shade. This beach only permits shibumis and beach umbrellas- no canopies. The week we were there was exceptionally hot and the shibumi (which I did not want to personally invest in) was a life saver. The only thing that I can see as an improvement is more than likely out of the control of the owner- the community pools do not have any chairs or loungers. It was uncomfortable to sit on a beach chair at the pool. The pool was immaculate and well kept, I just think chairs would be an excellent addition. Also if you’ve never been to Ocean isle- consider renting a golf cart. After we got there and saw the convenience of them, we wish we would have had one and there were not available to rent at that late date. Many thanks to the owners for such a well thought out rental!!!!

Location is great. Cute neighborhood. Feels like my grandparents house. Property manager was nice. Good communication
