Papa's Porch - Ocean Isle Beach Vacation Rental for Large Groups & Family Reunions (Sleeps 20)

Papa's Porch is a spacious 8-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom beach house on the quiet west end of Ocean Isle Beach, NC. With room for 20 guests, a private pool, an elevator, and 1-Gig fiber internet, this vacation rental is built for large families, multi-generational gatherings, wedding parties, corporate retreats, and remote workers who want the beach without sacrificing connectivity.


High-Speed Fiber WiFi - Work Remotely from the Beach

Stay productive with 1-Gig fiber optic internet and an Orbi mesh WiFi system delivering reliable coverage on every floor.

Elevated Ocean & Sound Views - Reverse Floor Plan

The main living spaces sit on the 3rd floor, putting ocean and sound views front and center. Floor-to-ceiling windows open onto expansive wrap-around decks ideal for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply watching the waves. Two large living rooms - one with a 70" smart TV, the other with a 55" - give your group room to spread out. Every bedroom includes a 42" or 55" smart TV.


Private Pool & Outdoor Living

Cool off in your own private pool (optional heating available in spring and fall for $75/night). The pool deck features resort-style reclining loungers, tables, and plenty of seating for the whole group. A dual heated outdoor shower with a splinter-free Poly-Wood deck makes rinsing off after a beach day easy and comfortable.


8 Bedrooms & 6.5 Baths - Room for 20 Guests

Six king-sized bedrooms, a kids' bunk room with four twins, and a family bunk room with a double and a twin ensure everyone has their own space. A pull out couch provides additional flexible sleeping. This beach house also features an elevator for easy access between all floors - a rare find in Ocean Isle Beach rentals.

Master suite with king bed, private master bath, half bath, and wrap-around deck with ocean views.

With 8 bedrooms, 6.5 baths, and an elevator, this home is ideal for multi-generational family vacations, reunions, weddings, friend group getaways, and corporate retreats.

First time to Ocean Isle

The home was clean and the layout was good. They provided several amenities. The views and the location were excellent. The pool area was clean and provided lots of sitting space. The refrigerator on the bottom floor near pool was very convenient and a great addition. We would recommend this home and location.

Large House with Great views

Had 18 adults stay for a long weekend in September. Great views and a well-stocked kitchen for cooking. I rented many houses and this had the most coffee, spices, and kitchen supplies I have ever seen. Brian was a great host and communication was easy. Highly recommended.

Great Space

The host was wonderfully accommodating and communicative! We even had early check in. Plenty of space, plenty of pool/beach toys, comfortable beds. A huge plus was that there was an ice maker on bottom floor! We never had to buy bagged ice.

Great house on OIB

We loved our stay here! The house has everything you need for a week or two of relaxing at the shore: beds were comfortable, most have their own bathroom, the kitchen has all the pots, pans, and utensils you could need. The kids loved the pool, especially the outdoor TV. We also spent most of the day at the beach which was easy because the walk is short. We had a couple questions throughout our stay and the host was always quick to respond. In short, there's no doubt we'll stay here when we come.to OIB next year.

85th Birthday Celebration & More

4 generations of our family gathered for a week at Papa’s Porch where we celebrated our mother’s 85th birthday, a niece recent engagement and two baby reveals. We had a great week to say the least and found this 8 bedroom house very comfortable and nice. We especially enjoyed late night conversations on the large porches and poolside. Kudos to our host who checked on us and was responsive when necessary. We highly recommend Papa’s Porch and hope to do this again.

Peace at Papa's Porch

Papa's Porch is a quiet place in a busy world. Close access to the center of the Island with great views. We like to cook at home so that we can have plenty of fellowship and the kitchen was fully stocked. Pool area was nice with nice roomy outside shower which was wonderful for the 4 children. The essentials on hand were great too. Of course the porches were well visited. Thanks for a very memorable time. Sheila H.

We Enjoyed Our Time at Papa's Porch

We recently stayed at Papa's Porch, and it was an awesome experience. Brian was very attentive to our needs and was in consistent contact with us prior to our arrival. He was very responsive and answered our questions promptly. There was an issue with the key pad upon checking in, but he notified us of the issue and the property manager was out the next morning to fix it. The home was very clean and provided comfort and amenities for our entire family. It was a great place to celebrate Mother's Day and my mother's 80th birthday! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

Great property with great views all around. Rented the property for my family’s yearly beach trip, and for the first time, no one had any complaints about the house! The property was well maintained, and the owner was prompt to respond to any minor issues. The only bad thing was having to leave! Would definitely recommend this property!
