Two bedrooms share a jack-n-jill shower or tub/shower. The main area has a new 60" TV with Hulu Live and Netflix. 1Gig WiFi to handle all your portable devices. The open concept of the dining area and living room provides a spectacular view of the ocean and has enough sitting area to hold great conversations. Having a separate well stocked kitchen provides space to prepare meals and helps reduce the noise to other parts of the condo. The four bedrooms are spacious and provides a relaxing and peaceful sleeping area. ( Open windows slightly and listen to the ocean waves). The covered porch is excellent space to relax in the shade and watch the ocean and dolphins. You're steps away from the outdoor shower that has seating and foot wash. The first floor unit has fewer steps to the beach and outdoor activities.

This is the first floor of a two level / 2 unit house.

Great stay!

Had a great stay! A few things needed to be fixed and they were very quick to come and fix anything! Place was very clean and has pretty much anything you’d need! Has one nice bed and the rest could use a mattress topper but other than that we had a wonder stay and would definitely stay again!

Nice Weekend Getaway

We had a great time in Ocean Isle. The property was as listed. Nice activities in the yard. We could hear kids running around in the unit upstairs, but that was the only issue.

Sweet spot for a reunion with friends!

We stayed for four nights 9/16-20/2024 and loved this property. The location is ideal, close to the beach. Also just a short drive to many restaurants and shops, including grocery. The layout was perfect with four bedrooms, each with its own bath. There were plenty of towels and the place was very clean. It was a pleasure to stay and I recommend this rental highly!

Oceanfront home for a budget

Accurately described ocean front 2nd floor duplex. Pros: Comfortable beds!!! Well maintained home Clean As described in listing. Great location. Oceanfront on a budget Lots of beds (7 in 4 bedrooms) Lots of towels, beach towels, beach supplies. Responsive hosts. Cons: Very tiny half baths (sink and toilet) in each bedroom and shower shared by 2 bedrooms Living area is tight. Not enough seating for everyone to relax together. No seating in bedrooms. Kitchen light on silverware (e.g., only 3 steak knives) and some basics. We had to buy a big frying pan as the one in the cabinet was scratched beyond usable. Can hear 3rd floor residents running around (children), but no issues at night. The pros greatly outweigh the cons. This was a nice place to stay for a reasonable cost. OIB area is fabulous.

One bed was super comfy, the others need a topper. Other than that, no complaints! Loved having the spray off aread below for rinaing off aand host was super reaponsive, location was great, everything was great! Set up allows for a very comfortable stay for 2 full families.

Great Vacay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was fantastic. The only thing I wouls improve on would be the kitchen utensils, pots and pans(especially) the frying pans. For some reason I thought there would be another tub/ shower and not just two for the four bedrooms; although having a toilet/sink for each bedroom was great. It was a fantastic place. I would recommend it to anyone, and would certainly stay again.

Excellent beachfront vacation

We loved this property and the location. We had six adults and 2 babies and had enough room and amenities for everyone. Really appreciated the beach chairs, toys, etc. since we flew from across the country and could not bring those kinds of things with us. Would definitely come back again!

Incredible family vacation

This was the perfect house for our family getaway with our grown children and baby granddaughter. The bedrooms with their own 1/2 bath was handy for all. It has a clean, comfortable and spacious living area. We spent a lot of time hanging out on the back deck and enjoying the view of the beach. Very easy access to the beach & walk to the city center. It was nice to have the beach chairs and towels available too. Definitely would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Hardtke

Host profile image
Are families are from MN and WI and fell in love with OIB while visiting friends several years ago. Mary Hardtke now resides in OIB about 50% of the time while Vicki and Dan Hardtke visit as often as possible when the kids are on school breaks. We purchased the top floor of the building a few years ago and jumped at the opportunity to purchase the lower unit as well.

Why they chose this property

Large ocean front home. There is nothing better than having a cup of coffee and listening to the ocean waves.

What makes this property unique

We try to make as much as possible stress free. When we visit, we want to relax and be on vacation and not deal towels, sheets, salt & pepper... that's no way to spend vacation (or the day before or after). The linen package include sheets and bath towels. Minor items (paper, garbage bags, laundry soap, common spices... are all provided. Show up and relax and enjoy your vacation.
