This was our first stay on Ocean Isle. Jacks home was perfect for my family, including parents and 6 children. Along with our dog, Sugar, we spent close to a week celebrating our marriage. This was our “Familymoon” after tying the knot the week prior. Jack’s hospitality was on point. He put together a wonderful home with all the right touches to make our stay comfortable and accommodating.Not to mention the view! We did our best to live on that porch and in the sand, just a few steps from the home. We fished, swam, threw a frisby, sunbathed, and gathered starfish in the cove a couple hundred yards away. The place was so perfect, we rarely ventured into the town; we had all we needed right there at “The Sand Lot”. Thank you Jack for helping make our first few weeks as a married couple, special. ##### Chris A.

Thank you for sharing your home with my family. When we first arrived, it was at high tide and after a storm that dumped 8 inches of rain. I must say that the closeness to the water was a little intimidatingly, but we grew to love it after a short period of time. The weather was perfect and so was the house! ##### Kathy M.
