Short distance to beach with access to waterway right behind the house. Kids loved fishing of the dock and using the kayaks. Set crab pots and played in the water. Great entertaining location under the house with plenty of seating. Also a big plus, was that we didn’t have to bring anything for the beach. Brent (homeowner) was amazing super fast answering questions for us on our trip. Will be looking into staying at the house again. ##### Bryson B.

The boat broke down the first day but the kids had a blast swimming and kayaking from the dock. We all enjoyed the bar area, TV and the lower seating area. The bikes were a hit also. Several of us brought bikes and it was great having the extras. The owners were very easy to contact and very helpful with our day early golf cart delivery and all questions. All are hoping to go here again ##### Deborah L.

They had just completed the fence and turf yard a week or so before we stayed at the house. This addition was great for us because we had some little ones and we didn't need to worry so much about them falling in the water. The update with the turf makes the entire yard more usable. We rented a boat for the week from Ocean Isle Boat rental and went out to the beach at the inlet between OI and Holden beach each day. The house was perfect for the 12 of us and the downstairs bar and was great for everyone to hang out in the evenings. Great house, great owners, all around great experience!!! ##### Glen H.

Ideal location with pretty view of canal, walking distance to everything and still quiet! House is very nicely decorated, comfortable and spacious for 10 of us and communication with the owner was exceptional!

Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie H. 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We recently stayed at a beach house on the canal and overall had a great experience. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well-located—just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for our family. Having our own private dock was definitely a highlight. It was great for fishing, relaxing by the water, and even docking a boat.The house had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway, but one thing to be aware of: we were required to bring our own linens, towels, and paper products, despite paying a premium price for the rental. For the cost, it would’ve been nice to have basic essentials included or at least an option to have them provided without an extra charge.That said, the location and setup of the house made it a memorable trip. We’d recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet spot with both canal and beach access—just plan ahead to pack your own supplies. ##### Katie H.

Located right on the canal, we enjoyed breezy evening cookouts by the water. You never run out of places to sit with the many porches and backyard seating options! The walk to the beach is ab 7ish min, but driving to drop off our stuff for the day- parking was never an issue. The men never wanted to leave the big screen TV at the newly installed back yard bar— what a treat! The bottom level of the house made for some fun rainy days— the kids played air hockey and ping pong for hours! The house is spacious and comfortable- we hope to return in the future!! ##### Courtney T.

Our family had an amazing week at this beautifully appointed house! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook and the basement was fully stocked with everything we needed for the beach, swimming and to keep us entertained. Communication with the host was the best I have ever had with a rental. This location was the perfect spot - close to everything! When we weren't at the beach, we spent our time in the pristine backyard area in the shade or sun, and swimming/fishing in the canal. We can't wait to come back! Thank you for sharing such a lovely home with my family! 5 stars aren't enough. ##### Sally A.

The owners responded to messages as we prepared for our trip in a timely fashion. The kitchen was well stocked and there were also plenty of beach chairs provided. We enjoyed the bar area downstairs and playing ping pong, cornhole,poker, and air hockey. We also kayaked on the canal. The beach was just a short walk and also it was very convenient to load our van up with all the beach supplies and drive to the access point to unload all of our gear so we didn’t have to carry it as far. We have been to Ocean Isle many times, but this was our first time staying on the canal. We really enjoyed having a different experience. A bonus for our week was watching an excavation of a sea turtle nest one evening. I highly recommend this property and would stay here again. ##### Ashley W.

We had my parents (mid-70s) and our teenagers with us and really enjoyed this house. Great location, just a short walk to the beach or drive to main OIB shops area. House was clean and kitchen was nicely supplied. Garage had games and lots of supplies, along with room to park cars if you want. On days when the waves were rough we spent time floating or kayaking in the canal which was nice. Owner was super easy to work with and responded quickly to questions. There is an elevator but it’s in the back of the house so we didn’t use it, but nice amenity for those who really need it. We were lucky to be there late in the season and got to witness a turtle nest hatch on the last night which was super fun. Truly enjoyed our week at OIB. Thank you! ##### Rebecca C.
