The house is located on West First St with spectacular, unobstructed views of the ocean. From 2009-2020, we owned another 8 bedroom home at Ocean Isle Beach and earned over 110 5-star reviews from our Vrbo guests. We took all the things we loved about that house, made them bigger and better, and added some things from our wish list. You can see the old house here, and we're responsible for all the reviews from December 2020 back: https://www.vrbo.com/2573689 The 4th (top) floor hosts the main living room with ample comfortable seating, an 85-inch Sony UHD 4K TV and a bar area with a wine refrigerator. The kitchen and dining area is located on the top floor, with a dining table that seats 10 and bar seating for 9 more. The top floor also contains a king bedroom with private bath, as well as a full-size laundry room with a second refrigerator, washer and dryer and an ice maker that stores 25 pounds of fresh ice. The 4th floor deck has an outdoor dining table, ceiling fans and plenty of comfortable seating for taking in the stunning ocean views. On the 3rd floor (middle) you will find a second large living room, a king bedroom with private bath, and another king bedroom that shares a Jack-n-Jill bath with the bunkroom. Each side of the Jack-n-Jill has its own sink and toilet, connected by a shared shower/tub combo. The bunkroom contains 2 full-over-full beds. The living room has a 75-inch Sony UHD 4K TV. The fabulous ocean views can be seen from the 3rd floor deck which has rocking chairs and a swinging day bed. The 2nd (bottom) floor contains four king bedrooms, 2 of which have ocean views. All 4 first floor bedrooms have private baths and TVs. The 2nd floor also contains another full-size laundry room with the same 7.4 cubic ft GE washer and 4.5 cubic ft GE dryer located in the top floor laundry. Both contain an iron and ironing board and we provide laundry detergent and dryer sheets. The ground level has an 8' x 18' private pool. (Small, we know, but big pools at OIB are almost non-existent because the lot sizes are so small. If you are training for an Olympic swimming event, then our house may not be for you, but if you just need to take a dip every so often to cool off while you are laying out, then we have what you need). The pool can be heated in the spring and fall, and because it's small, it can essentially serve as a huge hot tub. The outdoor living space contains a lounge area with a TV and a gas grill, and the large side yard is the perfect place for a game of cornhole. There is an enclosed outdoor shower with hot water. In November 2024, we installed a Tesla Universal Wall Connector that provides Level 2 charging to Teslas and most non-Tesla EVs. So you can pack a little lighter, we provide a beach cart for transporting chairs, coolers and other beach gear. The ground floor also contains enclosed storage space for your gear when not in use as well as another full-size refrigerator. Linens are provided at no additional charge -- 2 bath towels, 1 hand towel, 1 washcloth for each guest, sheets and pillowcases on each bed. We supply our own linens, so they are not the see-through kind you get from rental companies. We have 1GB mesh WiFi through the house and outdoor living area. All bedrooms except the kids' bunkroom have Roku TVs so you can login to your favorite streaming app. The house also has 100+ channel cable TV. The kitchen contains a 5-burner cooktop with pot filler, oven, microwave, 2 dishwashers, 2 refrigerators, a walk-in pantry, 2 coffee makers and a Keurig machine with a starter supply of K-cups. The large kitchen island has a prep sink and barstool seating for 6\. The kitchen is fully stocked with service for 20, pots, pans, bakeware, wine glasses, and all common kitchen gadgets. No pets allowed and no smoking indoors. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 8 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 8 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Gas grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Lift - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - 2 outdoor pickleball courts - Golf - Heated pool - Tennis - Basketball nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Eco-friendly toiletries - Electric car charging station - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Local culture and ecosystem education - Recycling - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![On the beach, white sand](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2700000/2699400/2699308/b726193b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Islander Inn Ocean Isle Beach - Pool - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Parking included 8.6 Excellent 1,006 reviews £93 includes taxes & fees 25 Mar - 26 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-25&endDate=2026-03-26&selected=2699308&PinnedHotelID=2699308&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Gazebo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/990000/988700/988651/b356ed0f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean Isle Inn Ocean Isle Beach - Pool - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Parking included 9.4 Exceptional 1,006 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-07&endDate=2026-04-08&selected=988651&PinnedHotelID=988651&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Traditional Suite, 1 King Bed with Sofa bed | Individually decorated, individually furnished, iron/ironing board](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/17800/17732/70bf1e41.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites Shell Island - Pool - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Air-conditioning 8.4 Very good 1,533 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-07&endDate=2026-04-08&selected=17732&PinnedHotelID=17732&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Indoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/14500/14430/w3836h2555x4y4-60275285.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### DoubleTree by Hilton Wilmington, NC Wilmington - Pool - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Air-conditioning 9.2 Wonderful 245 reviews £83 includes taxes & fees 31 Mar - 1 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-31&endDate=2026-04-01&selected=14430&PinnedHotelID=14430&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78540000/78537000/78536921/3883ac73.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### OIB - 3 bedrooms - 3 pools - 400 steps to the beach!

Each bedroom was beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches like sound machines that made our stay even more enjoyable.The kitchen was impressively well-stocked and organized, which made cooking for a big group so much easier. The ocean views from the porches were simply breathtaking — we spent so much time just soaking it all in.The gated pool area was a huge bonus, especially with kids, and we really appreciated the included beach chairs, cart, and cooler — those little conveniences make a big difference.Communication with the host was incredible — they were responsive, helpful, and you can tell they genuinely care about making your stay perfect.We’re already hoping to return next year.

It fit our family of 18 very well. There was plenty of space including 2 living rooms. The second living room was great for our 7 children that stayed on the same floor. The house and kitchen is well stocked with everything you need including beach chairs along with a wagon and cart to use transporting them to the beach. There was a small crib for our youngest child as well as games for the children. The best thing about our stay was the deck on the top floor. The views of the ocean and sunrise was to die for. The beds were very comfortable and the 7 king beds with the 2 full bunk beds provided great sleeping for children. If you rent this beautiful home you will not be dissatisfied. Lastly, about 1/2 mile is the beach club that is provided with the house that has a larger pool with a tikibar. The host R.J. and Nikki were fantastic to work with and respond very quickly to any questions. They were very welcoming and proud of their house. Thank you R.J. and Nikki for sharing your house with our family. ##### JAMES F.

The house was well designed and extremely well thought out with subtle and overt amenities that improved the vacation and made it luxurious. From the amazing ocean views even though the house is a row back to the outlets in every room having multiple plugs and USB ports. The kitchen was truly the most stocked of any rental that we've had in the past 30 years of trips as a group. The wine/bar area was a fabulous touch including the wine fridge. Three full size fridges made for ample storage plus a standalone ice maker so we were never in need. Ample cookware, storage containers, and table space was present. The ecobee thermostats with remote sensors helped keep the house at a nice temperature even during the heat of the day of mid-summer. The many burner gas grill downstairs by the pool heated so fast I had the grilled meat done before anything else. The outdoor shower is spacious and there is a nearby hose for keeping the feet clean when needed. The pool out back is super small but is cute and was fabulous to use as a plunge pool after a day in the sun at the beach. Our only complaint about the house was that the beach access was a few houses down versus right across the street but the view from the decks made up for it. Multiple beach carts helped with the short journey to the beach. The owner was extremely polite and answered all messages promptly. What a delightful house and vacay ##### Alan B.

WOW, this house is incredible! This large new house at 284 W First Street in Ocean Isle Beach, NC sets a new and higher standard for vacation rental properties. During the last 50 years we have rented many vacation houses. This one is the best by far. The owner (R.J.) is also the best. The four floor house has 7 king bedrooms and a four bed bunk room. It fits our 3 generation family of 14 well. The owner of this house paid close attention to every detail during design, construction, and furnishing. The entire house including the very large decks are tastefully furnished. The elevator serves all four floors. Internet speeds were superb in ever room of the house. The bedrooms have TV's. There is an 85" TV in the 4th floor family room and a 75" TV in the 3rd floor family room. The kitchen, on the 4th floor, is incredible! It is stocked better than most home kitchens. There is a walk in pantry. There is seating for up to 19 people for meals. There is also a dining table for 8 on the 4th floor deck. There are special features that added immensely to our stay. The water pressure in the showers was excellent. Some of the showers have dual shower heads including one with a flexible hose. The pool area shower has hot water available. There are two dish washers in the kitchen. The 2nd and 4th floor each have full size washers and dryers. The 4th floor has a large ice maker.

I have stayed in nice places and awful places. Papa Porch 2 is by far the best. This place sets the new standard for rentals on OIB. From the quality of the house, to fabulous amenities, to the customer service, this place is awesome! ##### John H.
