We had a fabulous time. The weather couldn't have been any better. Couldn't keep my boyfriend off the dock, he fished morning, noon, and until it got dark. Great place to stay. Kim Ryals

A happy holiday
This trip marked our third family trip to OIB. Normally we rent within walking distance to the beach, but this location (on the intracoastal Waterway) gave us a different perspective of Ocean Isle. This rental has a pier/dock perfect for fishing. We drove to Ocean Isle Beach (about 5 minutes away) everyday and then we spent time together on the dock fishing almost every evening. Check in and check out were easy. The manager of the rental was prompt to reply to any questions we might have had.

Great vacation
My husband and I, along with our 2 dogs, stayed at Dolphin Cove this past week and we had a wonderful trip. The property is close to grocery stores, and shopping. The home sits at the end of the road in a quiet little neighborhood, which felt very safe. The homeowner was extremely nice and very prompt. We did reach out to him with a question and he responded very quickly. We saw dolphins several times during our stay, which was awesome. We fished from the pier and caught (and released) several different types of fish. We really liked the ramp at the front door, as our dogs are aging, and it's hard for them to climb stairs. Overall, this property was exactly what we were looking for and we're excited about going back in the future.

More than we hoped for!
The house was awesome, the location was perfect, and the view was exceptional!!! We loved this house and perfectly enjoyed our visit to OIB. Watching the sun rise and set from the dock was magical. Having been a former resident of OIB on the island, I have to say, I much prefer life on the ICW. We will certainly be back again!

It was a great quiet place to stay, everything was seamless and we enjoyed the time by the water. There are kayaks, paddles and life jackets if you want to venture out onto the water, a crab pot and lots of sign of marine life around. Positive reviews all around.

Had a wonderful wind down week. The back porch was perfect for enjoying anytime of the day. Just a few minutes to the beach with plenty of parking available. Took a drive over to Little River for dinner, took about 20 mins no problem. Had a great time.

Ocean Isle Holiday Getaway
We rented this home as it sits on the Inter-coastal waterway, which we loved. The view is lovely. The location is a 5 Star. I would rate the cottage itself a 3, as its in need of some updating. The bathroom and kitchen are nice but the home could use new flooring. Area rugs have been added to hide tears. The part of the stay that bothered me was our welcome, which included a sign on the washer and dryer that both were broken. Merry Christmas- the day we arrived. The management company knew this was the case prior but never informed us. This was not only an inconveniance but also not the best customer service.

Nice place
The house is cute. Beautiful views and lovely neighborhood. Quiet and peaceful. The pier is great but it is long... lol. My husband had an injured foot so the walk was tough BUT the fishing was good so it was ok.. 😀 My only problem with the home is the bedrooms are on one side of the house and the bathroom was on the other. But that wouldn't stop me from renting again.

Charming
Our first time staying on the waterway. Compared to ocean front more peaceful and all the majestic live oaks and wildlife breathtaking. The cottage itself was comfortable and just charming. Loved the screened porch and enjoyed sitting on it while my husband fished from the nice dock. Brandon was a fantastic host and helpful in many ways. We would definitely rent this cottage again

Great Vacation Spot!
This was a great house! Beautiful views, great porches, pier/dock, nice big kitchen to cook, very nice grill which we used a few times! Being on the main channel was great to watch all the boats go by and enjoy a glass of wine and do some relaxing fishing off the dock. Perfect location for grocery trips and restaurants and the beach. It was nice being able to do a load of laundry before leaving as well. the couch was very comfy to watch tv on..and take naps! There are plenty of free movies to watch on the Roku so no worries there. If you cook and want fresh fish, our favorite spot we found was Captain Jacks...fantastic tile fish and shrimp! The only negatives for me - definitely bring your own bath towels and linens. Bring a roll of paper towels, and bring your own toilet paper - Just trust me. Also, I cook a lot and knew we were going to for the majority of our dinners, so I brought my own kitchen spices. I just wish I had at least brought at my chefs knife, the only ones provided are old wobbly steak knives. Overall, I would definitely come here again! My bf and I had a wonderful time! P.S. Bring bug spray..a lot of it :)

All about mom and dad
First of all I don't write reviews,but I will try to find the words that describe my stay.first of all the house is exactly like the pictures, second the house is clean.l took my parents to the house on mother's day weekend which is my dad's birthday to. They had a great time fishing and going to the beach.the only thing that I didn't think way up to par is the cable! But I text the home owners and that will be fixed soon!
