The Palms on Sunset Beach

AnnaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We had a wonderful long weekend. The house is tucked away without a ton of traffic, a short walk to the beach, and a convenient location for walking to coffee. The house was immaculate and had all the supplies and cookware for the trip. The dogs especially loved the screened in porch. A beautiful spot and we hope to be back soon

Luxury St. Kitts Villa in Caribbean Style Resort

Jill AnnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This place was the perfect weekend getaway for us and our 1 year old. Everything was exactly as described and better! The only recommendation is a gate for the top of the stairs since majority of the house is located upstairs, as my little one is on the move. We had to be extra careful being in the living room/kitchen. We always bring a baby gate with us but due to the molding/trim it wouldn’t work. Other than that the place was perfect!

AdrianaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable—truly felt like a home away from home. Nick was friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like local recommendations. The location was also ideal, close to everything I needed yet peaceful and quiet at night. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable experience!

Updated Luxury, Family Friendly - Dock, 2 Clubs

DanaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Five Stars All the Way! We had the most incredible stay at Vaycash on Bald Head Island! From the moment we walked in, it felt less like a rental and more like staying at a dear friend’s beautiful home. Stef has thought of everything—the home is gorgeously decorated, full of charm, and stocked with more amenities than any place we've ever stayed. This was hands-down the most above-and-beyond experience we’ve ever had with an Airbnb. Every detail was thoughtfully done—from the fully equipped kitchen (a dream to cook in!) to the peaceful, tucked-away location in the woods that gave us the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The golf cart made exploring the island a breeze, and the kids were thrilled with the bikes and kayaks. Stef’s generosity and attention to detail made this getaway truly special—we didn’t want to leave! We can’t recommend Vaycash highly enough and are already dreaming about our next visit.

The perfect month long stay before tourist season. First: Essentials. WIFI - dependable, fast for work. Clean - very clean, neat Crews tidied up outside - mulching, raking - post winter tasks Cozy - with a low country beach cottage vibe... comfy day beds/mattresses on both Queen (2nd Bedroom) and King (Primary) Spacious - Family room can easily handle a family of 6-8, with a dog or two & kids... much larger than photos suggest Kitchen - more than adequate with counter top appliances, full size refrigerator, counter space to prep meals & gas grill off the screened in breezeway to do a few steaks Second - Location - we walked to Garden City pier w/ beach chairs, beach bag & cooler...not quite a mile. safe with low traffic & sidewalks.. rent a golf cart to haul kids & gear - can use golf cart to run to Kroger for groceries...or up to Neal & Pam's in Surfside. Garden City is a much quieter pace than Myrtle Beach center... Airport was a 20 minute drive to pick up family.

JessicaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
First time staying in OKI in the winter and with our dog. Highly recommend IOD to anyone, especially someone with dogs. Her place was close enough to walk to go eat and to the store, walk to the beach, but private enough you felt like you were away from everyone. The backyard is the perfect place to hang out and let your dogs get some energy out. We will be coming back for sure!

This was a true home away from home! From the moment we arrived until our departure, my family and I felt at home. The only difference between our own home and this one was the address. The location was even better, nestled in a peaceful neighborhood where the residents welcomed and treated us as neighbors. The interior of the home was impeccable, with everything in its place.

Great beach house in a fantastic location! Debbie made all the arrangements for a very easy check-in, and the house had everything we needed for our stay (with use of the golf cart a huge plus!). The location was perfect, right in the middle of the community near the pools and other amenities, with that fantastic view over the lake from the back porch where we spent plenty of time relaxing. The whole family (kids, parent, grandparents) enjoyed the space and we hope to be back.

Beautiful cottage a short stroll to the ocean

MichaelRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We had a wonderful visit to Carolina Beach. The house was spacious, beautiful and immaculate. We strolled the few blocks to the beach daily. The owners graciously helped us locate a tire repair shop as we had a flat tire shortly before arriving. The area was inundated with 20” of rain several days before we arrived. It was shocking how quickly the businesses recovered.

Possibly our favorite Airbnb yet. Everything we could have wanted. Great Location for our needs.

Your guide to Ocean Isle Beach

All About Ocean Isle Beach

Generations of families have been vacationing at Ocean Isle since it was incorporated in the late 1950s as a tourist destination. With a population of just 631 permanent residents, OIB, as the locals call it, is a gem of the Brunswick Islands, connected to mainland North Carolina by vehicle bridge near the center of the island. Unlike some of the surrounding islands that vie for the attention of spring breakers, Ocean Isle remains comparatively quiet, revered for its surfing spots, neighborhood restaurants, and quaint mom-and-pop shops and cafes. While the town swells in the summertime with visitors on holiday, OIB still manages to maintain its reputation as a sweet, low-profile vacation destination.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ocean Isle Beach

Like the surrounding Brunswick Islands, Ocean Isle Beach’s weather is largely influenced by the nearby Gulf Stream, which pushes balmy temperatures and warm waters its way. As a result, the town enjoys a humid subtropical climate, with temperatures peaking in the high-80s Fahrenheit during the summer months. Many locals traverse the town in flip-flops, but dress in layers during the winter, when temperatures drop into the 40s. It should be noted that Ocean Isle is prime hurricane territory: it was affected in 1989 by Hurricane Hugo, and more recently withstood severe damage by 2020’s Hurricane Isaias. If you plan to travel during hurricane season (summer through fall), keep a close watch on local news.


Top things to do in Ocean Isle Beach

OIB Pier

At the heart of this island community is its charming wooden pier, which predates the town’s founding and juts 968 feet into the Atlantic. Flanked by ice cream stands, an old-fashioned boardwalk arcade, and a small outdoor grassy area known as the Backyard, the pier is especially popular with fishers looking for a good catch.

The Beach

Though it may look timeless, Ocean Isle’s beach is actually somewhat new. In the wake of damage from 1989’s Hurricane Hugo, Ocean Isle sought federal funding for restoration, eventually resulting in a major engineering feat: Tons of high-quality sand was added to repair the beach and provide safer channels for boaters. The completed project won Best Restored Beach Award in 2008.

Town Center Park

Outdoor performances, splash pads, bocce ball courts, and walking trails are just a handful of the features at this brand-new park in the heart of Ocean Isle. Just blocks from the OIB pier and oceanside, the park has become a popular green space for locals to stretch out and read, or enjoy a picnic with friends and family.
