Welcome to Papa's Porch 2.0! - New for 2024

With 8 bedrooms and an elevator servicing all levels, the home is ideal for multi-generational families or other enormous groups. The home is located on West First St with spectacular vistas of the ocean. From 2009-2020, we owned another striking 8 bedroom home at Ocean Isle Beach and earned over 110 5-star reviews from our Vrbo guests. You can see the other home here, and we're responsible for all the reviews from December 2020 back: https://www.vrbo.com/2573689

The 4th (top) floor hosts the main living room with ample seating, an 85-inch Sony UHD 4K TV and a bar area with a wine refrigerator. The kitchen and dining area is located on the top floor, with a dining table that seats 10 and bar seating for 9 more. The top floor also contains a king bedroom with private bath, as well as a full-size laundry room with a second refrigerator, washer and dryer and an ice maker that stores 25 pounds of fresh ice. The 4th floor deck has an outdoor dining table, ceiling fans and plenty of comfortable seating for taking in the striking ocean vistas.

On the 3rd floor (middle) you will find a second huge living room, a king bedroom with private bath, and another king bedroom that shares a Jack-n-Jill bath with the bunkroom. Each side of the Jack-n-Jill has its own sink and toilet, connected by a shared shower/tub combo. The bunkroom contains 2 full-over-full beds. The living room has a 75-inch Sony UHD 4K TV. The awesome ocean vistas can be seen from the 3rd floor deck which has rocking chairs and a swinging day bed.

The 2nd (bottom) floor contains four king bedrooms, 2 of which have ocean vistas. All 4 first floor king bedrooms have private baths and TVs. The 2nd floor also contains another full-size laundry room with the same 7.4 cubic ft GE washer and 4.5 cubic ft GE dryer located in the top floor laundry. Both contain an iron and ironing board and we provide laundry detergent and dryer sheets.

The ground level has an 8' x 18' private pool. (Modest, we know, but big pools at OIB are nearly non-existent because the lot sizes are so modest. If you are training for an Olympic swimming event, then our home may not be for you, but if you just need to take a dip every so often to cool off while you are laying out, then we have what you need). The pool can be heated in the spring and fall. The outdoor living space contains a lounge area with a TV and a gas grille, and the sizable side yard is the ideal place for a game of cornhole. There is an enclosed outdoor shower with hot water.

In November 2024, we installed a Tesla Universal Wall Connector that provides Level 2 charging to Teslas and most non-Tesla EVs.

So you can pack a little lighter, we provide a beach cart for transporting chairs, coolers and other beach gear. The ground floor also contains enclosed storage space for your gear when not in use as well as another full-size refrigerator.

Linens are included at no additional charge -- 2 bath towels, 1 hand towel, 1 washcloth for each guest, sheets and pillowcases on each bed. We supply our own linens, so they are not the see-through kind you get from rental companies.

We have 1GB mesh WiFi through the home and outdoor living area. All bedrooms except the kids' bunkroom have Roku TVs so you can login to your favorite streaming app. The home also has 100+ channel cable TV.

The kitchen contains a 5-burner cooktop with pot filler, oven, microwave, 2 dishwashers, 2 fridges, a walk-in pantry, 2 coffee makers and a Keurig machine with a starter supply of K-cups. The huge kitchen island has a prep sink and barstool seating for 6. The kitchen is entirely outfitted with service for 20, pots, pans, bakeware, wine glasses, and all common kitchen gadgets.

Does your group have more than 20 people? No problem. Several of our neighbors have similarly large homes that can also sleep 20. Let us know and we'll help coordinate everything.

No family pets allowed and no smoking indoors.

Ocean Isle Beach rental home booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in Ocean Isle Beach. To find the best value, try changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• First, have your group decide on trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. New 8BR\/7.5BA with Spectacular Ocean View, Elevator, Private Heated Pool has 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the host before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific Southport attraction you are crazy about, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
