The Palms on Sunset Beach
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
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!

Golf Resort, Beach, Entire House
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!

Stunning Inlet Paradise A - Your Perfect Coastal
Only thing you need is your personal items. We stayed with dogs & 5 people. Plenty of room. Parking space. Close to beach & restaurants. I would recommend staying here. There are steps to second floor but wasn’t a problem with us. Justin place is spacious and clean with ALL THE AMENITIES. I’m so glad we were able to bring my fur babies.

Relax in a HGTV Beachfront pick!
Awesome little beach cottage in the quiet part of Carolina beach. Waking distance to the beach. House had everything we needed. Outdoor shower was great! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Waterfront + New Pool & Putting Green
Very nice place. We were out in Myrtle for a golf trip so the putting green was a nice touch

Updated Luxury, Family Friendly - Dock, 2 Clubs
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.

Luxury Villa in Caribbean-Style Beach Resort
Our spring break was absolutely fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the area, which offered a perfect blend of relaxing scenery and exciting activities. The host was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, ensuring that we felt right at home throughout our stay. We truly appreciate their hospitality and commitment to making our experience memorable. Overall, it was a delightful getaway that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a refreshing escape!

Charming Beach Cottage-1 block to beach/boardwalk
Great spot in a great location. Giant kitchen and plenty of room inside and on the front porch. Kitchen was big enough to host Thanksgiving! Everything was just as advertised and very enjoyable.

The Salt House Cottage Ocean Isle Beach NC.
second time we stayed at the salt house , it was close to both beaches ,was a short drive .

The perfect month long stay before tourist season. First: Essentials. WIFI - dependable, fast for work.

Beach House Getaway
Loved our stay at Tony’s place! The house is so cozy and comfortable with everything you need! Close to both beaches and lots of dining options in the area. While enjoying the charming neighborhood, we’ve crossed paths with some of the friendliest neighbors ever, making our stay even more special. We’re planning to return to Wilmington and will make Tony’s place our first choice!

Sunnyside Inlet Cottage
Charming and so very clean! Loved the tiny house concept and had every needed amenity.

Egret ~ Beachfront Cottage (pet-Friendly)
You couldn’t ask for a better little beach trip! Took a couple days to get away and the accommodations were perfect for my dog and I. Private, quiet, beautiful beachfront views and the fenced in area was perfect for my dog. Mikes place was clean, had everything I needed, and very comfortable. Loved it so much I booked a second stay!

Dogs dogs and more dogs all pets welcome
Great location. Quick walk to the beach. Great for pets with a fenced in yard.

Walk to the Beach, Fenced, Fire Pit
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!
Other great vacation rentals in Ocean Isle Beach

Family friendly & great location
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. I would highly recommend this location to anyone seeking a home away from home.

Beautiful modern home. 3 min drive to the beach!
It was a very nice and clean place to stay. We could tell it was well taken care of and it was in a great location. I highly recommend this place to stay.

Little Paradise 2
We traveled to NC for a short weekend getaway & loved every minute of this home! Nice area, wonderful location , close to the beach and main places!!! The best part was we got to bring our sweet dog Baylee! We will be back!

The Great Wave
We had a wonderful vacation, this condo was in a perfect location, close to everything, clean & comfortable. Check in was easy and quick replies to any messages I sent. This is my 2nd time staying here & will definitely rent this place again if it’s available.

Lakeside Sunny Picturesque 3 Bed 2 Bath Full House
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
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.

Summer Vacation Getaway Pets Welcome Remodeled
Possibly our favorite Airbnb yet. Everything we could have wanted. Great Location for our needs. Our hosts Albert and Cristina were fantastic and genuinely interested in their guests enjoying their stay. The home was very clean and comfortable. We felt right at home immediately. The kitchen had quality kitchenware and enhanced the feeling of comfort in the home. Great yard for our 7 lb. dog. Can't say enough good things. Will definitely check availability when coming to the area again.

Lake Waterfront Townhome short walk to beach.
Very nice place would definitely stay there again!

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.
