First time!
This was our first visit to this beach. We even met the owner because he was making a repair the day we started our stay. The cleaner had an emergency and he drove all the way from the western part of NC to clean for us! The beach is small and everything is accessible. The cottage was great!

Clean and Tidy
We had a great stay at “Ocean View.” The cottage was as described. There were 7 of us and the space was tight but we spent our days on the beach not inside. The rental was super clean and had all the necessities. The house is a typical Carolina cottage, a bit on the smaller side, but adequate for beach lovers. The location was close to the pier and a public access so the beach was crowded. We suggest setting umbrellas up early and claiming your spot. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the cleanliness.

Great small house on best part of the island
Guessing our 8th year staying at this same house. It is one of the few remaining original houses ocean front on the island, it has that old island feel. We love the location and it is ocean front, walk out the back door, short walk through dunes maybe 80 feet and on the beach. The homeowner is amazing everything is always in great shape. The island has a lot to offer, putt putt, new park for the kids with splash pad and kids zip line., Good places to eat. Pier for fishing. Don't miss the Tuesday farmers market and Friday party with live band at the park.

We will be back!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Ocean View! This was our first time in OIB and we loved this house’s location. You can’t beat the direct beach access! Our kids loved the new community park just down the road. This house met our family’s needs and we had a comfortable stay. It was clean, kitchen had the dishes we required during our stay, & all appliances/AC worked well. We appreciated the clothesline & pins to dry our things during the week as well as the deck hose/shower to rinse off. This was a cozy little house and we couldn’t have asked for better communication from the owner. We read reviews before we came and can see why people return to this home and rent repeatedly from Steve. We hope to return to OIB in the future and would love to stay here again.

The house has a very beachy look & feeling to it. Nice selection of sand toys & adult beach games and a few extra outdoor chairs. No closets but a place to hang clothes in every room. Big fridge. Nice clean & big outdoor shower. It was a bit of a challenge to walk up over sand dunes at end of board walk. Public access 1 house over with boardwalk all the way to the beach. We all had fun.

Great experience. Owner was in contact with us before and during our stay to make sure we had what we needed. Everything with the actual property was great from location to the actual pots and pans to the beds. Will stay here again if available next time we come to the beach.

New Years at OIB
My family of 4 came down for a long New Years weekend and did nothing but relax, eat good food, and walk on the beach! We’ve stayed at the Ocean View several times now and always have a great visit. The home is clean, in good shape, and comes as advertised. And not to mention, right on the beach! The communication with the owner is amazing and he makes sure you know/have everything you need before you arrive. There’s no doubt, we’ll be back again!

OIB in the fall— can’t beat it
Quaint, original ocean front (since Hurricane Hazel) wonderfully maintained with updated appliances and clean as a whistle. Had absolute delightful time with family and old friends dropping by. Not a lot of room, but plenty enough, since the Atlantic Ocean is in the backyard.

Home Run
Been coming to Ocean Isle Beach for nearly 30 years, usually two or three times annually. Wish I’d bought a place years ago, before prices got crazy, but, alas, fate has made me a very experienced short-term renter. This was my first visit to the Ocean View. After four nights there during my favorite month (October), it will be the very first place I check when planning future trips. The Ocean View is an older, traditional-style beach cottage (open kitchen and living room in the middle, two bedrooms and two baths on each side, lots of wood paneling). The obvious highlight is the beachfront location at a comparatively reasonable cost, but I also appreciated extra touches like the updated appliances, new flooring, the grilling area with ash pit, and, last but not least, a great-sounding stereo with CD player. I loved being able to stow my phone, with all its interruptions, and instead of streaming, play CDs I had brought after seeing the stereo listed in the home’s features. Steve was an extraordinarily communicative, friendly, and helpful host, even texting me that the cleaning crew was finished and I could check in 45 minutes early. Great guy. In sum, there are fancier, newer accommodations on the island, if that’s your thing, but this comfortable, lovingly maintained place in an impossible-to-beat location is a truly special find. I didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return.

This was our 2nd trip staying at Ocean View on OIB and it was even better than we remembered the first time! The owner is very easy to work with and the home is perfect for our small family of 4. We find the home to be in good shape, clean, and exactly as described. You can’t beat being right on the beach and sitting on the porch listening to the waves at night! We will definitely be back for a 3rd trip in the future!
