This house worked out really well for our family as it is situated on a dead end with zero traffic to watch out for. When we weren't out at the beach or doing some other activity, the kids played soccer, tag, and ninjas in the front yard. It was nice when they asked if they could walk the dog around and we could say "yes" without fear of a car going by. Inside the house was just what we needed: clean rooms, one level, great AC, stocked kitchen, laundry, couches and TV, and comfortable beds. We also enjoyed that there was shade outside on hot days and a carport to park under, which kept our vehicle from getting scorching hot inside. The owner, Mike, was easy going and was available to call if we needed to ask a question or something. We would definitely stay there again if we go back to Ocean Isle Beach in the future.
