Perfect spot to relax after a busy day.

Surf trip

Enjoyed our stay. Was walking distance to the beach. The host had the camper well equipped. Was able to save money by cooking meals at the rental. Really appreciated the great selection of coffee that they provided. Price was very reasonable and I will be checking availability on the next trip up there

Cozy and Comfortable

I came into town to see some of the historic sites in the area. The "Island Life" is a delightful space, with exactly what I needed: a clean safe place in a quiet area, easy access to the beach, and close to many things to do. The host Jonathan was welcoming and responded to my emails in an extremely timely manner. I was very happy to stay there.

2nd time staying and will return !!!

We love this tucked away camper that has all the amenities and none of the stress. You only contend with the sounds of frogs and birds which we will choose time and time again! Beautifully immaculate inside and out. Would recommend and have so to those close to us!! Shopping is within walking distance, and food trucks too!!

Small and sweet

This is a small RV that is very sweet on the inside. You can easily walk to a beautiful beach that is blocks away and not many people on it. The location is in a trailer park but the trailers on either side are deserted.

Great space for a solo traveler or couple (and furry companion)

The place is just as advertised, clean and well-maintained. I got there at dark in the rain, so it was a bit hard to find amongst the other modulars in the cul-de-sac, but the host provided detailed directions which made the search much easier lol. Jonathan is responsive and provides all the last minute things you might forget for your stay, such as sunblock, water bottles, and even dog dishes for your furry co-pilot, so you can focus on hitting the beach once you get there :)

Cute little place in Rodanthe, NC

We had a wonderful time. The place was extremely clean and had everything we needed, and more! Loved the extras especially all the accommodations for our dog! Bowls, treats, a lead, and even paw slippers for the sand (although we didn’t even try them as we knew she wouldn’t walk with on 😂). The bed was really comfortable and it was really easy to use to kitchen and outside flat top! Thank you for all the keurig pods too. Great place to stay.

Perfect!

Jonathan is awesome! Asked if it was possible to check in shortly after lunch & he was able to make it happen. The camper was perfect for myself and my pup. It was furnished with everything that I needed/wanted to include Monk fruit sweetener for my coffee! Short walk to beach access. I will DEFINITELY stay again

A piece of paradise

My husband and I stayed at Island life for our first trip to the OBX. We cannot say enough about the place. It was very clean, well equipped with things that you may have forgotten. Jonathan has placed a lot of thought into this place. We were a five minute walk to the beach which our fur babies definitely enjoyed. Jonathan gave us ideas on places to visit and places to visit. Thanks Jonathan for this amazing opportunity!!!

Bring an electric blanket

Cute and clean camper. Though it was unusually cold due to an inland snow and ice storm I We did expect there to b an actual working furnace for heat, not just 2 space heaters. The host clearly didn’t prepare for anticipated cold temps. We had to use the propane cook stove to provide any heat. The water though left dripping as the host requested the pipes froze as did the camper septic. There were not extra blankets as the bed linens were pretty basic. We stayed the night with nowhere else to go other than our vehicle and called the host and got a refund. Probably not a good choice in the winter months.
