Perfect location and accommodations for our family.

We loved “It’s a Wonderful Life” condo. Great to have a bathroom for every bedroom. The view from the swing on the porch is awesome. Kitchen is well stocked and storage downstairs was convenient. Walk to the beach and community pool only took a few minutes. Would love to stay here again.

Great location, lovely host

My husband said don’t leave a good review so people don’t stay here so we can stay here again haha :)This place was great! A good fit for 3 small families. Had everything we needed and was the quickest easiest walk to the beach! Sylvia was a great host with quick communication, and even reached out when we left a stuffed animal behind to make sure to get it to us. We would definitely stay here again!

We didn’t want to leave!! This place is sparkling clean and beautifully updated. The location is great, an easy walk to the beach access and to the pool/tiki bar/restaurant. The ocean view is amazing. I especially loved drinking my morning coffee and evening wine on the porch swing. Plenty of room for our family, which included four generations. We were even treated to a full moon rising from the ocean. Everyone had a great time. It truly is a wonderful life!

Great place!

We chose this condo because of the proximity to friends' places in the same complex, and it was perfect for our family of four (with a few kid sleepovers too!) We loved the location - not far from the beach and steps to the pool! The unit itself was very clean and had everything we needed - beds were comfy, kitchen stocked, etc. We had a wonderful LDW which was capped off by a sea turtle hatching on our last night. Sweetest memories! Will definitely be back.

Perfect Beach Getaway

The condo is spacious and was spotless. The covered front porch is amazing and I would have slept out there but the beds were super comfortable. The beach is a two minute walk to either beach access. The Isles Club is such a great perk as the pool is huge and you can have drinks from the bar while your kids play! Fantastic rental, would rent again. Only gripes were that there was no toilet paper in the condo and we have to go buy some and the remot to the TV in the Living Room did not work so we could not get the Roku working.

Family Vacation 2020

The location of this property was perfect! The pictures were spot on and the owners were wonderful to work with. I would have to save drinking coffee on the back porch swing was one of my favorite things to do. This was our first time at Ocean Isle. We will absolutely consider visiting again and staying in this condo. I definitely recommend renting a golf cart to get about the island on, walking down to the western end of the island at low tide to almost walk across to Sunset Beach and find amazing shells and sand dollars, learning about the sea turtle nests from the local volunteers at dusk, and eating at the Boundary House in Calabash, Inlet View in Shalotte, and Sharky's on the island.

Great condo by the beach!

This place was everything we expected and did not disappoint. The view was so nice off the back deck and it hardly gets any sun during the day. It was a favorite spot of ours! The beds were comfy and the furnishings and decor throughout were nice. The kitchen was by far the best appointed kitchen I have seen with extras like a crockpot, muffin tins and cake pans along with a lot of other items. Access to the beach was so close and felt very safe letting our older teenagers go to the beach on their own. The pool was nice and the tiki bar too but wish the hot tub would have been hot but that is part of Islander Resort so they must have had issues going on. A helpful tip to anyone that hasn’t been to Ocean Isle before there is only one way onto the island so Sat evening the traffic is horrible because the police have to direct it around the roundabouts. It took us 50 min to go 3 miles (we arrived around 5). Suggest arriving early and taking advantage of the pool passes or beach until the house is ready. The owners were awesome and Kelly was quick to respond to any questions I had. Would definitely stay again!

First Family Beach Vacation

This property was perfect for our family of 9. The description could not have been more accurate. It was an easy walk to the pool where we also used the beach access. The kitchen was fully equipped. We ate in the majority of the week and had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The porch with the ocean view was perfect for our early rising 2 year old while the teens slept in. Any questions I had were answered quickly by the host. We will definitely be back!
