Great for a family vacation!

We had an excellent experience at Drifting Seas for our annual family beach vacation. The 5 bedroom house was perfect for the 3 generations of family in our group. The house was very convenient to the beach access and the kitchen was well stocked. The owner was very responsive and accommodating throughout the booking process and during our stay. I highly recommend the property!

Excellent family beach house

The house is in a perfect location, with very easy access to the beach. The house was clean and as described, no surprises. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was great, and having two beds in each room (except the main bedroom) was very convenient for everyone. I would definitely stay here again for our next OIB vacation!

We loved our stay @ OIB! We had a group of 15 and the 5 BR/5 Baths was a huge plus. We were right across the street from the public beach access. We also liked the keyless door lock. We were able to set up our own code that everyone could remember and didn't have to worry about lost keys!

Pefect location and house

Our vacation was multigeneration family and everything was perfect for us. The house location is great, close beach access so the teens could head back easily, pool at the house for anyone, close enough to town to walk for ice cream. The house was well equipped and very clean. There was only one issue while the linen delivery and the host was fast to respond and it was cleared up in no time. I loved the easy communication with the host before during and after. We loved our week there and will definitely stay there again!

Our college and high school grandsons shared positive comments without being asked, especially liked the short distance to beach and arcade! We enjoyed the spacious kitchen with ton of cooking utensils and huge living room sofa! Communication prior to arrival was extremely helpful, check in and check out was easy. Our only regret was not having the pool heated. Thanks, Jeannie, for all the details!

This house was awesome for our family.

I first have to say Jean was great to work with. The house was great for our big family. We have been to Ocean Isle several times and never have we been to a kitchen that was stocked like this one. Sitting on the deck in the morning and at night was so relaxing. Jean thought of everything even toys for the kids. We would recommend this house to anyone with a big family. We will rent this one again. Thank you Jean for everything.
