The cottage was the perfect place for our families. The home was clean, comfortable and homey. What really stands out about this house, however, is the outdoor area. There are beautiful and updated decks on both sides of the home. The pool is very large for a beach house, and the deck and seating areas are also spacious and well maintained. The kids loved the swings, sand area, basketball goal, and the life size connect four game. The house is a short walk to a beach public access point, and only a few minutes drive to the center of the island. A great stay! ##### Ashley M.

Great outdoor living spaces as well as a really short walk to the beach. Easy to go back for lunch or the bathroom. The outside shower had a toilet and sink!! Great so you don’t have to run upstairs when you are enjoying all the amazing features. We hired a private chef to cook a special birthday dinner and there was plenty of room to celebrate!

This is our 2nd year in this house and they continue to make updates. The attention to detail throughout is amazing. There is so much outside space with different seating areas that we spend most of the time outside. The kitchen is a little small but they have started to work on expanding it and we can't wait to see how it turns out. The kitchen is well stocked and we found everything we needed.

The interior is also updated very nicely. Great beach access. The only downside is the 4 bedrooms share 2 small bathrooms. It wasn’t a problem for us since we are all family but I didn’t notice that on the listing when we booked. The third bathroom is kind of outside under the house. The ceiling fans need a cleaning and the grill was dirty when we got there. I understand that if no one tells the owner then they don’t know. We would definitely stay there again. A local friend visited us and said she would consider booking for her out of town family when they came to visit. ##### Eric G. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Madison B.

The house was immaculately clean and SO well stocked (like literally the best stocked kitchen ever). The location was perfect: a short enough walk to the beach that we could run back and forth multiple times a day with toddlers in tow, on the most beautifully landscaped street & the beach wasn't crowed. The outside furniture & pool were perfect for sun & shade lovers alike. Don't even get me started on the outdoor shower: I'll dream of it for years. The beds were all super comfortable. To top it all off, the unique design of the house really made you feel like you were staying somewhere special. Thank you to the owners for making this wonderful property available.

The floor plan worked out great for our family, giving us all the privacy we needed. Only a short walk to the beach was so convenient. The pool was a real hit with my five year old granddaughter. As soon as we arrived she jumped in. I will never forget the look in her eyes when she looked at me and said "Nana - you picked the most perfect beach house". I loved the fact that their was so much seating space rather you were enjoying the pool or relaxing rocking on the front porch. We had the time of our lives. This was our first vacation at Ocean Isle Beach and we really loved the cleanliness of the island and the wide open spaces on the beach!! I definitely plan to return to "Crossroads Cottage" in the future. ##### Wanda S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christy M.

The kitchen is just amazing, so easy to maneuver around for family dinners. We had 7 staying in the cottage this time around. So much outdoor seating for coffee, conversations or a nice glass of wine. The outdoor shower and bathroom is the best, I never showered inside the whole week. We also celebrated my husbands 50th including friends who were staying in other houses. We had a private chef come in and 11 guests, it was the perfect space to entertain!

Jun 4, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect beach house, super clean, great location I can’t say enough about the cottage. We loved every part of this vacation. OIB is beautiful. It’s the perfect family beach, not overly commercialized but still plenty to do, places to eat and shops. Heather is amazing. She was always immediate with her responses, nice and super helpful. The cottage was the cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed in. It was stocked perfectly with every kitchen tool, appliance, beach chairs, floats, and games. I don’t think there was one thing we needed. The house is so close to the beach and a handicap beach access which is great when you’re pulling a wagon of kids and a wagon of beach chairs, toys, cooler, and umbrellas. The house sits on a road that has very little traffic which is awesome if the kids want to ride their bikes in the road. The location is also great because you’re close enough to ride your bike to the pier, putt putt, ice cream and restaurants. The pool was super clean and an amazing bonus. We spent the first half of the day at the beach and the afternoon at the pool. I love this house and the location. We will be coming back for many years to come.

Aug 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The cutest cottage! We had the most Amazing time! The house was everything we hoped for
 plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, an open kitchen, full size washer/dryer
 and the outside living spaces were incredible!! So many different spots to hangout and lounge in. The pool was heavenly and the outdoor shower (with hot and cold water) was perfect for rinsing after the beach. Especially with our 16 month old daughter! We loved this house and how close it was to get to the beach. The hosts we’re available through communication all week and were quick to respond through the whole booking process. They have done a lovely job with the renovations. Look forward to coming back! ##### Rachel P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth K.

We had more than enough space for our small family. So many outdoor spaces to enjoy, and our kids loved the pool, the sand area, and the giant Connect 4 game. The outdoor shower was so helpful, along with the wagon to transport things to and from the beach. The new kitchen was absolutely gorgeous and was stocked with pretty much anything we needed. Heather did such an amazing job decorating the house, so you really feel like you’re at home. We couldn’t believe just how close we were to the beach, with access just at the end of the road, and another access with a ramp just a block over. The beach is never crowded. The splash pad and playground downtown were a hit with our kids. We loved this house and OIB! ##### Beth K.

First, let me say that my Family and I have been coming to OIB for many years. We have stayed in many different houses through most of the available rental companies located here. We have stayed beach front, 2nd row, 3rd row and canal front over the years but none of the homes meet the experience we had this past week. Heather, the owner, is fantastic. She is very responsive throughout the entire process. From researching the home, to booking the home, to the excitement and questions leading up to the trip, to our actual time in the home, she is extremely prompt and very customer focused. She is very committed to making the trip very memorable We travel the same dates every year and have over a dozen Families travel with us and rent homes all over OIB. This home was everyone's favorite. It was perfect for our Family of 4 but could easily accommodate more. It is very open and cozy with enough space for everyone to spread out and relax. We have teenagers and so do the Families we travel with. Everyday our home was where we wrapped up our day because of the amazing pool, outdoor sitting areas (all shaded), amazing deck overlooking the pool and the large dining area open to the kitchen. The pictures in my opinion just don't do this home justice. OIB is the only vacation we take a year and this year was the best one we have ever had. My Wife, who usually is ready to travel home early, didn't want to leave. My son, who is getting ready to go to College said "Dad, this was our best trip ever, we need to book this place again next year!" My daughter who is in high school said "I want to live in a home like this someday." We are very blessed to have found this home and to have met Heather. It was a very memorable experience. Thank you Heather! BTW: I have never in my life left a review for anything. It's just not my thing. There is just no way I couldn't share this experience. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Southern-Pines-Hotels-Pine-Needles-Lodge-Golf-Club.h2222358.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tipsy Pelican- The Best Place To Relax!
