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 marvelous 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 gorgeous 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 marvelous 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 huge side yard is the ideal place for a game of cornhole. There is an enclosed outdoor shower with hot water.

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 supplied 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 sizable kitchen island has a prep sink and barstool seating for 6. The kitchen is completely 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.

How to get the best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Ocean Isle Beach. To book the best rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in Ocean Isle Beach:

• Start by having your group commit to vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family 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 rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
