About this property
Cozy OIB Cottage – Laid-Back Vibes & Perfect Weekend Escape
Welcome to The TipSea Turtle! This cozy 2BR, 1.5BA bungalow is just 1.2 miles from Ocean Isle Beach. Upstairs, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms, each with a queen bed, and downstairs, a pull-out sofa in the game room offers extra sleeping space—making it easy to sleep up to 6 guests. Enjoy the screened-in porch, outdoor shower, and breezy living space. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed coastal getaway with charm, comfort, and convenience.
What makes our place stand out? It’s the little things—like the breezy screened-in porch for your morning coffee, the outdoor shower that makes beach days a breeze, and the downstairs game room that doubles as a cozy bonus sleeping space.
What do we love about it? The layout makes it easy to unwind, whether you're enjoying the open-concept living space or lounging in the peace and quiet of the back porch. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for sleeping in, cooking a casual dinner, and just enjoying time together.
We provide bed linens and towels for your stay, along with a starter roll of toilet paper and paper towels. The home includes a washer and dryer for your convenience.
With boat parking and no HOA, it’s the perfect blend of comfort and convenience for your beach getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Lorraine M
Hey there! My husband and I live just outside of Apex, North Carolina. We're originally from out of state but have fallen in love with the area—especially its beautiful outdoor spaces. Over the past three years, we've enjoyed hosting guests at our place near Jordan Lake, sharing the tranquility and natural beauty of the region. Now, we're excited to extend our hospitality to our beach home in Ocean Isle Beach. We've put a lot of care into creating a comfortable and relaxing space, and we hope it feels like a home away from home for you.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I love spending time at Ocean Isle Beach — it’s our favorite place to slow down, relax, and enjoy the simple things. The neighborhood has such a peaceful, laid-back vibe. It’s close enough to all the fun spots like the beach, restaurants, and shops, but tucked away just enough to feel quiet and relaxing after a day out. What we enjoy most is being able to start our mornings with coffee on the porch and end our evenings with beautiful sunsets nearby. It’s the perfect little getaway spot, and we’re excited to share it with you!
What makes this property unique
What makes our place stand out is the balance of comfort and location. It's tucked in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood just a quick drive from the beach—perfect for guests who want to enjoy the coast without the crowds. We’ve put a lot of care into making the home feel cozy and welcoming, with little touches that make it easy to settle in. From the spacious layout to the outdoor sitting areas, it's a great spot to relax after a fun day exploring Ocean Isle Beach.
