Great house for family vacations $

We just spent a week in this house, and had a really great time! Each bedroom having its own bathroom was very convenient and the kitchen was large enough for our family. The pool was really nice to have, next time we would bring a tent or umbrella, so it could be shaded in the afternoon since it’s in full sun. Convenient location to beach access and close enough to hop on the golf cart to ride into the main part of the island for ice cream or the park. Really nice house, very comfortable, we have already booked next year stay!

Great home for an OIB family vacation

The home was well equipped with all that our large family needed for meals and family time. We loved that each BR had its own en suite. We enjoyed lots of pool time and appreciated the close proximity to the beach. Loved the upper deck for dolphin watching in the morning and listening to the surf in the evening. The elevator made groceries and luggage so much easier too.

Family Vacation

We booked this place for our annual family vacation. The spaces were exactly as described in the listing. It is very close to public beach access (5 house down) and because of the shorter houses across the street the ocean view was great from the top deck. The pool was warm despite being the last week of sept so that was a pleasant surprise for us. Having 2 living room spaces was ideal for our group. Beds were comfy and the elevator was a big hit for moving luggage/groceries and used daily by those that struggled with the stairs. We would definitely consider renting this house again for future stays.

Let’s go again

This house met all of our requirements: elevator for my 82 year old mom, pet friendly, and perfect bed configuration for our family. We sat on the deck and could see the ocean which was nice because the houses across the street are one story. Close walkable beach access. Very nice place and we enjoyed our stay and will probably stay again.

Great home for 4 generation reunion

We had 10 people ages 2-84 stay at Life’s Too Shore for a beach week reunion. The home was perfect for us with separate bathrooms for each bedroom, two sitting areas, an elevator and a pool. Great view over the top of the houses across the street on the oceanfront. Elevator made it easy for the 80+ year old and the toddlers to navigate from ground level to the 3rd floor. The small pool was great for the kids and the public beach access was less than a block walk/golf cart ride. The kitchen is well-equipped, although there was no Keurig, despite one shown in the photos. Nice grill on the ground floor as well. Highly recommend!

Perfect House for Family Trip

We loved this house! It was hard to leave. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, there were plenty of sheets, blankets, and towels. The kitchen was well-stocked. The pool is small but the kids loved it and we’re glad we had it heated. The layout of the house is great with bedrooms spread out and the upper level with kitchen/family room/big deck was so nice. The houses across the street are low so you really do have an awesome ocean view. Beach access spots are close. All good!

Christmas Vacation 2023

We stayed here with 8 family members all 20+ years old. The house was lovely for the price with all of us having our own bedrooms and full bathrooms. One family member is disabled so the working elevator was a must and it had very few issues. Make sure to read the elevator guidelines as you can easily have user errors. The property had a few issues with bugs but the property manager and maintenance were quick to assist. Big shoutout to Travis for coming out twice, once on Christmas Eve, to help us out with beeping/alarming smoke detectors. Some of the amenities are outdated like the pots/pans, movies (VCR!), and the griddle. The griddle is almost not usable so don't count on it. The heating coils have clearly burned through to the cooktop. The listing states all bedrooms have access to an outside balcony or porch, but the 1st floor front room does not. Technically you can get outside but not from inside the room. All other rooms have a door that go outside. The 2nd floor balconies/porches do not have stairs down to the first floor. The first floor back porch connects to both first floor bedrooms on the back of the house and have a gated staircase down to the pool area, which is also gated to the carport area. Overall we would stay here again. For the price and the space we had plus the elevator, it was ideal for our families.

Not As Thought

The house has a lot of potential. There is plenty of space for our family. Every bedroom has a bathroom which makes is nice. The view is wonderful. The kitchen is stocked. It’s a close walk to the beach. Now for what went wrong: The electronic lock was broke, we ended up using one key all week, thankfully there was a lock box. The 1st floor didn’t appear cleaned, sand all over floor. The bedspreads were dirty & smelled. The pool turned bathings suits & naturally blonde hair green. There was a dark green ring around the pool that could be cleaned if kept up. Vines growing around pool & in chairs. Towels would get very dirty. I received 1/2 of the cleaning fee back which I should have since I had to clean BEFORE we began our vacation. Again, this house would be very nice if kept up as the pictures show & cleaned as should be.

Great House

This house would have gotten a 5 had the elevator worked. Vacasa gave great service to try and have it fixed, but a part was needed. We were compensated for the inconvenience. I would definitely rent the house again for the closeness to the beach, cleanliness, and all that was supplied. Such a cute house. Great rental agency also that was on top of all our questions ( and we did keep them busy! haha). Thanks Vacasa!

An Outstanding Beach Retreat to Remember...

We have a growing family of 6 adults and 1 1/2 children and 1 noble dog. Our customary vacation of timesharing did not provide enough room for all of us to share a central living area and separate bed and bathrooms anymore. This house provided all of that and more. The bedrooms had wonderful mattresses...absolutely no complaints. The house was maintained beautifully and in very good condition. There were TVs in every bedroom and in both living rooms, but honestly we hardly used them, because the balcony was our favorite spot. The balcony views of the ocean were worth the entire cost. The top floor balcony had a partial covered area and an unsheltered area, with furniture to relax on. Again...perfect. We spent our week at the beach (less than a 5 minute walk) and checking out the areas around us. There were just enough things to do without being an overwhelmingly touristy area like Myrtle Bch, but still providing us a break from the beach and sun. Our entire family gave a hearty thumbs up. We love the laid back feel of Ocean Isles Beach! Now for the nuts and bolts of the stay... There were sheets, quilts, pillows, and limited though sufficient towels. Bring your own if you like more than 2 sets per bedroom. Also bring your own hand/shower soap, toilet paper, paper towels. The amount of kitchen gadgets (garlic press, peelers, etc) were amazing. I can only surmise people purchase and leave them. There is a coffee maker that uses basket type filters, but also can fit keurig type pods (didn't use that part). There are tons of plates, glasses, cups, bowls, forks spoons, knives. What there isn't is pots, pans and skillets that I would call useable. There were a couple pieces, but the Teflon was so scratched I wouldn't use them. (In fairness, renters are probably not very gentle on these items, but quality was still limited). Fortunately, my kids hadn't left their homes and I had them bring us some. I did call the management company and they said replacements would be brought, but they never came. I would definitely suggest you bring at least a skillet and large pot if you plan to cook. All the appliances worked fine...oven, stove toaster, coffee maker, fridge, microwave. The 4 burner Weber grill worked beautifully. We did request a heated pool as we were here in early May. Because I had seen previous reviews that had issues with pool heating, the first thing we did was check the heated pool. As previously reported it was not heated. We called it in, and the pool people did come, but still no heat. Vacasa refunded our money immediately when requested. We did brave the pool anyway and it wasn't too cold for our 3 year old granddaughter. There were lounges and chairs. There were no pool toys or beach equipment to use, so bring your own. Without hesitation we would rent this house again. The owners maintain it beautifully. An added bonus... there is a telescope in the upper living room, and we were there during the lunar eclipse. Thank you to the owners, we enjoyed it immensely!
