Oceanfront & Soundfront! Luxury Beachfront, Pool, Private Exclusive West End

Our amazing piece of paradise is located in the exclusive, gated West-end community of Ocean Isle Beach, NC. The fourth house from the end of the island, we are Ocean front AND Sound front. What truly sets our beach house apart from other similar houses is location, location, location. The stretch of beach in front of our home is VERY private. No public beach access nearby means you will have your own private beach area. No fighting the crowds! We don't have rows of condos or other beach homes behind us, all vying for a spot on the beach. No high rises to block your view. Truly the views from the multiple decks are spectacular as water surrounds 180 degrees. Add to this the gorgeous architecture of our spacious beach house and you will find this a vacation home that pleases everyone.
There are many other beach front homes, but very few are in our secluded area. If your idea of a beach vacation means a luxury home with your own private section of beach. Then you will not be disappointed!

Features a luxury reverse design in which the kitchen, dining area and familyroom spaces are located on the upper level -making the most of the spectacular views. The entire group can gather for meals with three dining tables in the kitchen area. Two refrigerators, two dishwashers, Hardwood floors, granite countertops, well stocked cooking utensils and dinnerware.
This level also features a full ocean side deck with rocking chairs and a roof covered teak table for outdoor dining...perfect for morning coffee and sunrise views. Family room with three couches, four chairs and HDTV, stereo, free wifi. Powderroom. Library with fully stocked array of children's books and games plus plenty of reading for adults as well. A comfy sunroom with couch, two chairs and television...great spot for kids to read a book or play a game.
Oh and it gets better...up the stairs from the library is the third level crows nest with 360 degree magnificent views of the ocean and the intracoastal!
This level also has one single bedroom with queen bed and a double bedroom with two queen beds. Plus full bathroom with shower.
And on the sound side of the house, the 'sunset deck'... where the gang will love to gather after dinner to watch the sky transform to vibrant hues of pink and orange as the sun drops slowly on another perfect beach day.

The first level features 2 double rooms with 2 queen beds, 1 single with queen, one bunk bed room with four singles, and a master with one king size bed. Mattress are brand new as of 2021. Each with their own full bathroom. Also a spacious laundry with washer, dryer, iron and board.
The property has pillows and comforters on each bed. Blue Ribbon Linen service is provided by our management company... beds made upon arrival and one bath towel set per guest. Since the linens and towels are technically not provided by the owners but by our management company, there is a $300 separate charge for this service. Beach towels need to be provided by guests. Paper goods, and soaps must be supplied by renters.

Your family will have a blast in the game room which offers free pacman machine AND Golden Tee video games!
Then head out the door onto another full oceanfront deck with completely covered roof, rocking chairs and porch swing! This deck connects to the private walkway and gazebo leading you to the BEACH!
And a few steps down from the beach walkway is the tropical pool oasis! (Pool can be heated off season for a fee) The pool area includes lounge chairs, dining table with umbrella and an enclosed grilling area. There's even an outdoor enclosed shower!
Covered parking for 5 vehicles plus more parking spots in the driveway. Sand toys and pool toys galore as well! For golf lovers, there are 25 fantastic courses within miles.

Blessed Family Time

Our family enjoyed every minutes of our time at this special beach home last week. From the moment we stepped inside the doorway we were amazed by the beautiful space that Gail and her family share with others. The beds and sofas were so comfortable - the kitchen very well equipped - there was nothing lacking! And the beach itself - a perfect tranquil piece of heaven!

Christmas at the Beach

Our family enjoyed Christmas together at this beautiful property. It was cold but the views were stunning both morning and night! There was plenty of room to spread out and find one’s own space to rest and relax. When it was time to come together, the kitchen and living room areas were spacious and welcoming. We will definitely visit this special location again!

One of the Best!

Our family has stayed all over the island and the west is for sure the best. 5 G's makes it even better. The house is so fun; we love the game room with the arcade set up. The little book nook is a favorite spot for puzzle building. Having the sunroom right there off the living room for littles to pile in to is a plus. Lastly, the crows nest is a fav with our preteens to escape to for reading. My favorite, is the deck(s) and the layout is perfect. All of the outdoor space is comfortable in regards to sun exposure and furniture. The front porches and back decks were almost in constant use. Love this house! We are soooo excited to come back!

Excellent after Hurricane Florence

We stayed at the house ten days after Hurricane Florence hit Ocean Isle and The house and beach are in excellent condition. The house is comfortable and the views are stunning. The owner was very communicative and accommodating. We were at the same section of the beach for Labor Day weekend and we thought maybe a few more sandbags at the west end were exposed after the hurricane, but otherwise it all looked the same. Such a relief! Bring your beach chairs.

A little piece of paradise!

Location! Location! Location! This house is was awesome in hosting our large family. It provided plenty of space for us to spend time together, yet not feel crowded. The outdoor upper level deck was a favorite as the trade winds kept us cool in the evenings. The beach at low tide is everything you could dream of with tons of space and a fraction of the people the rest of the island hosted. Already booked for the same time next year! Gail was super communicative and very accommodating. I would not look anywhere else as this location is unique and offers more than any new construction home can offer. Thank you Gail for giving us this opportunity to stay at your home!

Family vacation

This house is everything as listed and so much more. The upkeep and furnishings are excellent. The location, both the Beach and Sound are spectacular. Being a gated community gives you the feeling that you have your own private beach. The one thing we didn't expect, but loved, were the tides. At some times of the day, you had a normal beautiful beach. At low tide, the beach grew by over 100 yards with small pools and inlets to explore. Our kids loved exploring them. If into fishing, at tide change it was excellent by the edge of and into the Sound. Then there is the perfect swimming pool where we all spent equal time with the beach. Just an amazing overall stay in a beautiful house in an amazing location which we will remember forever!

Best view on the beach!

Par-a-dice Is an amazing property. It is very well appointed and was the perfect home for our stay! We enjoyed sunrises on the amazing back decks (plural), so many places to take it all in. We also loved the gorgeous sunsets on the front deck. The high and low tides were so cool to watch because of our location. The pool was great in the afternoon, after a morning at the beach and they did have people come and test the water during our stay, so that was peace of mind. We had everything we needed for our in house meals in and plenty of seating for our large group. We rented linens from a local company and they were late getting there due to the busy holiday weekend, but were very friendly and professional. Highly recommend doing that for convenience. It is a special house in a special place and we will cherish the memories that were made.

Not worth what we paid.

What could have been a glorious experience left us definitely looking for another place for our trip next year. While the owners was available to us when additional problems did occur, the lack of attention to what should have been simple checks prior to our stay clouded this rental. We understand that there was a storm a few days prior but for the thousands and thousands of dollars we were paying, you would think that they would have sent someone to do a final check before we arrived. We started by getting settled and finding dead bugs everywhere that we cleaned up. We then tried to see the million dollar view and couldn’t get past the dirt and filth on the windows. My husband spent 2 hours cleaning doors and windows before the rest of the family arrived. We paid extra to have the pool heated and one of the days there was no heat at all. The pool area itself was dirty with mulch and sand and 3 visits by the pool people did nothing for that. The second deck was a mess of turned over chairs and strewn pillows. Once again, all of these could have been avoided with a little cleaning beforehand. When I complained to the owner she went a cleaning crew but we had already completed the work and they still didn’t clean the deck!! The drawers and cabinets were full of crumbs and dirt. Puzzles available for us contained messed up pieces. The lights at the pool and along the walkway to the beach were all burned out. We had one light in the pool itself but no outdoor lights. All in all, it was dirty and just not up to par. They also need to spend some money updating as when we opened a window the entire thing fell to the ground. They had a little Florence water damage and the spackle was still all over the walls. My brother rented a larger and much nicer house on the beach with pool and hot tub the week prior for a thousand dollars less-we will go there next year.

Dream Come True

We have vacationed at OIB for decades. My BIL and I saw this house a several years ago and feel in love with the aesthetics. In the mean time, we have rented the house next door while trying to reserve 143 but could never get in for it stays booked. This year my dream came true for us to stay. It was everything I thought it might be. The main floor is so homey but spacious enough for our family of 21. The little side rooms and spaces were perfect for littles to watch tv or play while bigger kids built puzzles. The living room was open but divided for adults to play games while others sat to the side to watch. We enjoyed the third floor deck daily. I didn't think I would like the layout of the rooms (being on the second floor, and with the game room down there) but it proved to be just right for everyone for various reasons. Then of course the location; it's perfect. The West side is the Best side. Having access to the sound and beach front is truly premium. My only criticism is the kitchen needs a good cleaning and tending too. Pots and pans are in want, as well as utensils. Otherwise a perfect stay that we hope to repeat.

Overall we had a lovely vacation. The location is perfection and the house was spacious and had everything we needed. The bookshelves of kids books were so great and the little kids loved being able to pick from the library each night :) We had some initial issues with the key pad and the A/C upon arrival. However the management company and Gail were very responsive and both the issues were fixed. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Amazing Location, Beautiful Views

This beautiful home accommodated multi-family group of 20 people very well. Oceanfront property allowed for easy access to the ocean as well as sound side within a private gated area. We were able to fish, paddle board and kayak everyday. The pool is so nice and well maintained throughout the week. The kitchen is well stocked, two refrigerators, two dishwashers, etc made it easy for us to prepare most all of our meals during the week. The many decks and open windows provided amazing views on the front and back of the home. Gail was super helpful prior to our arrival and shared lists of local favorites which we took advantage of throughout the week- thank you! We would highly recommend this home and look forward to coming back!

Fantastic location

This large home is in a fantastic location on a very private and picturesque section of beach at the end of Ocean Isle. The views are beautiful from every porch. Our kids really enjoyed fishing on the inlet side in front of the house and the pool was a big hit as well. The kitchen was very nice and well stocked. The rest of the interior would benefit from updates (mattresses, bathrooms, broken arcade game, etc). The owner was very responsive and easy to work with.

Best Vacation Ever!

Earlier this month, my husband, friends of ours, and all of our children and grandchildren gathered at this magnificent home for the reunion of a lifetime. Everyone after the fact described the vacation as definitely exceeding our expectations. The beach there is a truly best kept secret...sparsely populated and lovely with spots for all ages to play safely. Nightly ghost crab hunting became the favorite evening activity! The house is everything that was described--lovely, large, well equipped with excellent and rapid assistance when called to deal with a refrigeration issue. Our group of 22 plus one aunt who appeared for several days had the perfect location for talking, playing, cooking and eating, and just visiting to catch up after years apart. Coffee each morning on one of the several decks was a requirement and started many a day for those who were early birds. Getting to know each other's grandkids was a highlight and there were so many options for us to utilize in making that happen. Board games and books, the pool, the game room equipment, and fishing were some of the ones we enjoyed. In addition, this crowd are a bunch of chefs! Everyone took turns using the well equipped kitchen and the outdoor gas grill to prepare specialties and inspirations. Kitchen equipment was extensive and we lacked for nothing, taking only a couple of items with us "just in case." (Gail, the blender didn't seem to work...please check.) Grocery stores were conveniently located and easy to utilize. The owner, Gail, had provided us with so much information that we felt guilty when no one actually went out to eat because we had so much fun staying in. Bathrooms were plentiful, room configuration was perfect for us, bedrooms were comfortable, and we would absolutely use this property again should we have such a large group. Something to note: umbrellas ARE allowed on the beach, but popups are NOT; several folks who had put them up were requested to remove them, apparently related to the turtle population for which there is an informative presentation each week. Not a problem for us as we had both. My one suggestion for Gail is that all of the wonderful information that you provided me prior to our departure for NC should be also compiled into a book or binder for use at the house so that it is readily available for your renters. Thank you so much for your help, information, and thoughtfulness as you shared your special place with us!!!

Best Beach House on the Island

We spent Labor Day weekend down here with a group of families who are all friends and had a blast. The rooms are great, the views and porches are breathtaking and between the pool, the sound and the secluded beach at the end of the island it is hard to imagine a better place to get away and unwind. I think there is an excellent argument that this house is the nicest place to stay on OIB. Excellent views of sunrises and sunsets. Easy access to both ocean and ICW. Truly a unique environment. Gail and Rick are excellent hosts and were extremely accommodating. The place is very well thought out with most of the bedrooms on the first floor and a very large open area on the upper floor for cooking, visiting and relaxing. Kids loved the game room with Ms. Pacman and Galaga when they wanted a break from the sun. I do recommend that you go ahead and rent linens and towel services. If you are thinking about renting this for a family get together or a truly great vacation go ahead and pull the trigger. You won't regret it.
