Our family of 14 had a great vacation at this home. It was nice, clean, and well equipped for 14 people. The pool was a big hit with the kids and adults. The beach access was close….no need for golf cart!
We had a wonderful stay at this beach house in Ocean Isle, NC! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach and close to everything we needed. The house was well-stocked with all the essentials, making it super easy to settle in and enjoy our time. Having a private pool was such a bonus, especially after long beach days. There was also plenty of parking, which made things even more convenient for our group. Would definitely stay here again!
Great property to stay for a beach vacation very short walk to the beach, also has a clean pool.Julie offers many items that are never included with any rentals we have had in the past, no need to bring beach towels or bath towels, or even soap or shampoo it’s supplied. The best when packing leave the beach chairs at home because there’s 10 for your use.
Loved the place was very comfortable for us all close to beach
It was a great house to rent well taken care of we enjoyed our stay thoroughly everyone had their own place privacy we had nice dinners made there and enjoy the back porch at night we enjoyed the front porch in the morning with her coffee was a great place

We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great stay. Come back soon!
We loved everything about this place! The outdoor pool area was the biggest hit for us all, especially on the days when the ocean was way too rough for the little to get their swim in. Loved that towels and sheets were provided.
Wonderful location, lots of room, and the pool is delightful! We couldn’t have asked for a better house for our group. Short walk to the beach, space to spread out and relax or play, and the coolest boho beach vibe make this one a keeper!
House and the backyard pool area are great. Everything was well thought out and in great condition. We appreciate the amenities, especially since driving from out of state—beach towels, chairs, umbrella, toys & shampoo/conditioner/body wash in every shower, sheets and towels provided, and laundry detergent, dish detergent, dish soap, trash bags, and first aid kit all provided. Super cute house and great layout for families.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the house, the backyard pool area, and all the little touches we’ve included to make traveling from out of state easier. It means a lot to know the layout and amenities helped your family feel comfortable and well taken care of. You were a pleasure to host, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
We had an amazing stay at this home with our big family group, 10 adults, 3 kids, and 2 toddlers, and it couldn’t have been better. The pool was a huge hit with everyone, especially the kids, and the pool toys made it even more fun. There were multiple hangout areas, which gave the kids space to play safely while the adults could relax.The short walk to the beach was super convenient, and we really appreciated all the extras the hosts provided; beach and pool towels, chairs, umbrellas, and plenty of toys. The amenities were top-notch, and the house was very well-stocked and comfortable for a large group.We would absolutely come back again. Highly recommend this place for families or groups looking for a fun and stress-free beach vacation!
Our family had a great time at this property. The house and property were clean and had all the amenities we were looking for. We totally appreciated the beach chairs and towels being available for our use. The bedrooms were rather small but still suited our needs for our adults and children.
The house is beautifully decorated and well thought out. There were two spots to hang out and have game nights as well as ample space for people to have space and privacy when they wanted to take a break from all of the family fun. The owners are lovely and very responsive to questions. I would definitely stay here again!
Five stars. Great house, clean, good layout for large family vacations, umbrella/chairs/body board/toys already at house, minute walk to the beach, short walk to the stores and restaurants, owners were super helpful and provided us a list of all the events that were happening on the island and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, we would 100% visit again.

We're thrilled to hear what a great time you had. Thanks for choosing Third Row from the Sun for your vacation :).
We loved this house! Check in was super easy, we were greeted with a hand written note, the house had every amenity that we could even think of, the beds were comfortable, the location was great and it was decorated perfectly.. The 2 separate living rooms worked really well for us too.. The younger adults stayed downstairs and the rest upstairs. Thank you so much for a great stay!

We are so glad you had a great time! Thank you for choosing our home for your vacation. We hope you left with memories to last a lifetime.
Property was beautiful. Bedrooms are spacious and two living areas allow for lots of people comfortably in the home. 2 minute walk from beach. The only thing we were surprised by was the extensive “check out” instruction list, which was the most cleaning and washing requirements we have seen on VRBO.

Thank you for staying with us! We are glad you enjoyed the property. We make every effort to be clear about the checkout procedures through information posted in the property listing and also clearly stated in the rental agreement. Our check-out directions to strip the beds, take out trash, and clean any dishes are pretty typical of the area. We are happy to provide all bath and beach towels you may need at no extra charge, so we do ask renters to wash them prior to leaving and provide dual washers and dryers (one upstairs and one down) to make this as simple and quick as possible. We will look at making this even more clear so as to alleviate future surprises. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope your dad had an awesome birthday at OIB!
This house is extremely well designed to fit a large group without feeling cramped. There are two large living spaces so kids can be on a separate floor to hang out, which was great for our group. The house is a super close walk to the beach and there are tons of chairs and beach towels for guest use, which was a huge bonus. The pool and pool area were great for kids and adults alike. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were really nice. We had an excellent stay and would absolutely return. Two things I would note are the house does not have a separate fence around the pool, so the lower level opens directly onto the pool deck and the only lock on the sliding door in the basement is on the handle, not out of reach of small children. The town of Ocean Isle also doesn't have lifeguards on the beach but does have a Very Active beach patrol. The town has recently outlawed beach canopies (cool cabanas included) and beach patrol is aggressive about enforcement...not a negative, just something to be aware of!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for choosing our home for your stay! We’re so glad to hear the layout, location, and amenities worked well for your group and that you enjoyed both the pool and the easy beach access.
We appreciate your feedback about the pool area and definitely want to let any future guests reading this know that we do have an alarm on the sliding door to the pool deck, which can provide an extra layer of safety for guests with small children. As parents ourselves, we know how important pool safety is!
And just to clarify, beach canopies have never been permitted at Ocean Isle Beach (including cool cabanas), so the town’s policy remains consistent with past years. They’ve always allowed umbrellas and only recently started allowing shibumi-style shades and small tents for infants.
We’re so glad you had an excellent stay and we would love to welcome you back anytime!
We chose this property due to the proximity of where our friends were renting the same week. This home was fabulous! Not only were we close to our friends, we were a very short walk to the beach, and a short golf cart ride to the shops and restaurants. The home had everything we needed from linens, to beach towels and chairs, a roomy outdoor shower, and room to spread out. Immaculately decorated, comfy furniture, and double laundry. We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing time at OIB, and at this wonderful property!

You are so welcome. It sounds like you were able to enjoy all the best that OIB had to offer, and love that you chose us as your home base. Come back soon!
We couldn’t have been happier with this property for a beach weekend with our small kids. The owner has all kinds of beach stuff available to borrow including chairs, sand toys, an umbrella, body boards, and a beach wagon to get it the super short walk to the beach! House was newly remodeled and is furnished very tastefully. Awesome spaces for gathering both inside and out with a screened deck on top level and a patio space below with seating, grill, and outdoor games. Outdoor shower post beach is a huge plus as well. Owner is very responsive to messages and it her desire to provide a good experience was very apparent. We will definitely be back!
This was our first of our hopefully annual whole-family vacation. We ranged in age from three to 73. The six bedrooms on the two levels fit our needs perfectly. Kids and us active, hands-on grandparents downstairs with access to the pool, used at least dozen times a day, the quieter bunch upstairs, in charge of cooking and relaxing. We ended up bringing some things from the upstairs kitchen down to the kitchenette, so that we could prepare for the kids' meals and snacks more easily. Having the beach around the corner was an incredible feature, allowing us to take sunrise and sunset walks and spend hours and hours shell collecting. There was just enough to do in Ocean Isle; it seems we spent most time in water, though. Communication with the hosts was quick and easy, issues were addressed as they arose without delay. The outdoor shower with hot water was something everyone, even the 3-year-old, loved. A cleaner family could not be found last week!
The rental listing and reviews are very accurate with this property. It truly is a beautiful and functional beach home. The open floor plan of the second story was great. Very spacious with lots of place to spread out. Downstairs is great for the kids with games and their own little living space.
The outdoor living areas are awesome. Screened porch and outdoor covered seating downstairs. The owners truly did make things available that I haven’t seen at other rentals. Beach chairs, towels, an umbrella and beach toys. Games to play outside. The kitchen is fully stocked. We didn’t need anything they didn’t have. SO many great things about this house. I have no regrets renting this house for our beach week.
Because I appreciate truly honest reviews there were just a couple things that I wished had been different. The only bedroom with an en suite bathroom is downstairs and isn’t the master (which would have been really nice to have). Also, the owner doesn’t ask their housekeeper to do the towels, it is the responsibility of each guest to wash, dry, fold and put away your towels before checking out. Just something to be aware of if that’s an issue for you. I will say that we had a small housekeeping issue upon our arrival and the owners were extremely responsive and were quick to make the issue right. We had several communications with them and they were wonderful to work with.
Lastly I would recommend that you know each guest is also responsible for washing and putting away any dishes that you use before you check out. Because each guest is responsible for doing this and housekeeping doesn’t check behind, we discovered many dishes that were full of water and/or had to be recleaned, etc. It just didn’t give me confidence to use the dishes until we recleaned most of them.
Those are truly the only things that kept me from giving a 4 star review versus a full 5. It really is a great house and is perfect for families.

Kendra - thank you for your review and staying at our home for your week at Ocean Isle Beach! We appreciate you choosing our property and are glad yo hear you had a wonderful time. We wanted to send our apologies to you regarding the house layout, the towels, and the dishes. We're very sorry this was a surprise! We use professional photos with descriptions in the VRBO listing to help you visualize the layout. We lovingly updated the house in 2021 while retaining its original 1970s beach house charm! We also aim to make the house full-service by providing all linens in a clean and ready-to-go manner upon check-in. The cleaning crews take care of all the bed linens, but they are limited by time by also having to do the towels. We state this in the sample contract provided in the VRBO listing and the one you signed to secure your rental.
We plan to evaluate ways we can make the expectations and layout of the house even more clear for future guests. In the meantime, we encourage all guests to ask any questions before booking and as you plan your arrival. No question is too small!
You were a great guest, and we appreciate your effort and care in using our home. Thanks again for choosing OIB and Third Row from the Sun!
