The cottage was everything it was reported to be. Clean and comfortsably furnished and equipped - 4 bedrooms with comfortable beds, new a[ppliances, ocean front. It was close to good restaurants and points of interest and reasonably priced. Our host/owner was accomodating and very easy to work with. Even the weather coopertated. If our schedules can be worked out we will probably go again next summerBill J

I appreciate you taking the time to send in this very nice review! Thank you so!
We were a group of 8 longtime college buddies and this property was a serene place to reunite and reminisce. At the end of April, the beach was nearly secluded and we took advantage of peaceful morning and evening walks, picking up shells along the way. We all agreed it was the experience we were looking for. Our host, Steve communicated well and was very attentive to our needs, even offering us an early check in. We’d definitely stay here again.

Thank you very much for taking the time to send in this nice review. I appreciate you choosing Ocean Isle Beach and the Ocean View!
We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was exactly what you picture when you think of a cozy beach getaway. Super clean, comfortable, and the location honestly couldn’t have been better. Being able to walk right out and be at the beach in minutes was such a win.The views were beautiful, especially in the mornings and evenings, and the whole place just had that relaxing, peaceful vibe we needed. The AC worked great (which is a must at the beach!), and everything was well taken care of.You can tell the host really cares about the space and the guests’ experience. We felt right at home the entire time. Definitely one of those places you don’t want to leave and we’ll for sure be back!

I appreciate your very nice review and coming to Ocean Isle Beach and the Ocean View. Thank you!
Ideal location right on beach. Place was clean and had all the amenities. The deck and walkway to beach are not 1 -2 year old friendly, but other than that we had an awesome time.

No child has ever fallen or been injured at the Ocean View. And it passed all building codes when construction was completed.

The house was very clean and the access to the beach was perfect. The locale and furnishings in the house were very accommodating and we are looking forward to coming back!

Thanks for the review! I am very happy to hear how much you enjoyed your stay. I've stayed at several VRBO properties in Western North Carolina. So far, none has had a kitchen stocked like the Ocean View!
Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Nice place to stay for a week. We enjoyed ourselves.

About the host
Hosted by Steve Martin
I started restoring the Ocean View in 1986. It's been a joy through the years, bringing it up to date for my family, friends and vacationers to enjoy. That same year, the new bridge over the Intercoastal Waterway opened! ....no more waiting at drawbridge! Please contact me if you have any questions after you book your vacation!
Why they chose this property
Right on the Atlantic Ocean and close to the Ocean Isle Beach pier, Town Center Park, shopping, restaurants, bars and Town of Ocean Isle Beach. There is a sidewalk at the house leading to downtown. I will make sure the house is clean and ready when you arrive. I am also easy to reach should you have a question or a problem. The best way to reach me is my cell phone. I also text.
What makes this property unique
The Ocean View is unique because this type of cottage is rarely found at Ocean Isle Beach. Sit on the covered porch and watch the sunrise & sunset!!
