We love OIB. It is our favorite beach. This was our first trip this far down to this end of the island. it is a great location. Wide beach with less crowds and noise. not much traffic. Great view and right on the beach. Nice they had linens included and provided beach accessories. Owners were responsive and nice to work with. The house was clean, but it needs some repairs. The front door is severly warped from moisture and one morning we could not open it. It was had to shut and required extra force to get it to shut. There were several areas throghout the house, especially right in front of the doors off the kitchen, the bedroom off the kitchen and the deck off the bedroom above the kitchen that showed signs of some rotting in the subflooring / decking as there were soft spots in the floor where it would buckle when you stepped in the spot. There was also some visible water damage throughout the house and roof above the deck off the kitchen showed very visible signs of sagging and water damage. Overall nice place and great location. If they were to address these maintenance issues, it would be worth the price we paid.

This is an amazing location and a great house. Definitely hoping to stay again in the future! Down away from all the noise and the part of beach was much less crowded. They have tons of chairs and beach stuff available. Lotssss of parking. And everything else you need for a great stay. Nice hosts and easy to communicate with.

Great house for all

This is a great house and works well for all ages. The gate on the porch helps keep the toddlers in (😄) and the view is stunning for the adults! This end of the island is truly a treasure, our favorite by far.

Perfect house for this many -- all of us comfortable, and TV's in every room remained unused (except for UNC football game). Beautiful location on the beach and nice walks. Stunning rainbows between clouds at sunset. Plenty of space for plenty of cooks. Hope to return.

Great location, beautiful oceanfront view. Easy access to the beach. Three balconies to enjoy. Great view from master bedroom, kitchen window and upstairs bedroom. Very nice home was clean and well maintained. It was stocked with everything you needed. The 9 am check out is very early but I would stay there again.

Wonderful home on the beach

We used to bring our kids who are all adults now to Ocean Isle Beach when they were younger. We have never stayed on this end of Ocean Isle Beach but absolutely love it! The home is well-kept and well appropriated and offers ample deck space for meals outside in the sun or shade! The beds were comfy and kitchen well stocked! Having linens included was a plus!

Great location and house for multi family trip!

This was our family’s first time visiting OIB and we loved this rental property! The location next to the public access was incredibly convenient, and having porch options on either side of the house worked well to always have a shady, breezy spot no matter what time of day it was. The home is well-stocked and had plenty of supplies and amenities.

Just another day in paradise…

My family and I decided a few days at the beach were needed, sort of on a whim, and I starting searching. We’re tired of the hustle and bustle of the busy beaches so we rolled the dice and our Ocean Isle search landed us on “Whata Gift” and I can’t think of a better name for this little slice of heaven. The location is absolutely perfect and the views from inside and on the decks are stunning! The crow’s nest has a gorgeous view of the beach and the backside of the island. The house was immaculate is very well maintained. The beach accessories the hosts provide are a lifesaver when car space is limited. There was enough space for everyone to not be on top of one another and there were plenty of towels and wash cloths. The beds were comfy and the HVAC was nice and cool. The kitchen came fully stocked with everything you need to make full meals is up to date. The bathrooms are also renovated nicely. The space is utilized well and the entire space felt cozy and inviting. We are already looking to book again and we think we’ve found our new favorite beach spot. I’d recommend this place (and already have) to all of my friends looking for a relaxing getaway.

Great weekend @ Whata Gift on OIB

My family had a great weekend on OIB while staying here. You can hear the ocean calling your name as soon as you step out of your vehicle. The house was exactly as shown in the pictures and met every need we had for a quick beach getaway with our daughters and my parents. The bedrooms accommodated each one of us and the mattresses provided a great night’s sleep. I can’t say enough about the amazing view from the master bedroom. We absolutely loved our mornings on the decks drinking our coffee while watching the pelicans fly by over the water, dolphins cruising down the coast, and boats galore catching bait before they were off for their day of fishing. We loved our walks on the beach shelling during the day, and chasing crabs at night with the kids. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Whata Gift and we will be back.

Amazing home, wonderful owners!

Absolutely LOVED staying at this beach house. The owners are WONDERFUL and extremely easy to work with. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and their experience. The house in person looks just like the photos. Personally I don’t think the pictures do it justice. It’s in a very quiet and peaceful area of the island. This is easily one of my favorite beach houses we’ve ever stayed at. It’s a great home for families to stay, big or small. You can’t beat the views either! I truly believe you won’t regret staying here and will make a bunch of memories just like we did. We can’t wait to come back!!

Lovely beach

We really enjoyed our stay! I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the beach -- so much space! There's not direct beach access but the public access is right there and just as easy to use. The house had everything we needed, including nice beach items like chairs, toys, etc. We cooked every meal and the kitchen met all our needs also. I also really appreciated having towels and linens provided! This property was more than we needed for a family of 4 - with a larger group certain indoor areas may have filled cramped but the outdoor space and beach access are why you are there!
