OCEAN FRONT - West End Home @ OIB on the Sound and Sea! Private Pool

Do you love watching sunsets overlooking the canal or the ocean? Look no further, at Family Tides you can enjoy OIB's beautiful sunsets with both views from the relaxing screened in porches off the front and back of the home. This immaculate 7-bedroom, 7-bathroom home is located in the gated, exclusive West End of Ocean Isle Beach. At Family Tides, you have the option of waking up to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the views from the front or back porch, walking straight to the beach to put your toes in the sand to enjoy the most peaceful, secluded beach, going for a swim in your private pool or fishing off your dock overlooking the Intercostal waterway. The options are truly endless! The large, open downstairs area will be where everyone will want to gather to enjoy time together while inside. You will immediately feel at home at Family Tides. Our home abounds with places to gather, share stories and laugh. But, if you need some "alone time" there is plenty of space inside and out to find your own serenity.

This home is large and can accommodate families or groups of friends looking to make memories that will last a lifetime. There are 7 spacious bedrooms and 7 full bathrooms. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms with 2 queen sized beds and connecting bathrooms. As well as a newly added custom bunk bed room, which contains two double beds for bottom bunks and two twin beds for top bunks, plus a twin trundle bed. The second floor consists of three bedrooms with 2 queen sized beds, connecting bathrooms and a beautiful sitting area, which overlooks the views from the canal, right outside the second-floor window. The open Master bedroom is also located on the second floor and has a lovely sitting room perfect for a place to relax, read, or just take in the beauty of the ocean from your back window. The Master bathroom is nice and airy providing plenty of space to get ready. It has a separate watering closet, jacuzzi tub and stand-alone shower. Each bedroom has great closets which allows guests plenty of space to put their belongings.

The living room, dining area and kitchen feature an open floor concept allowing guests to be able to enjoy each other’s company while cooking a family dinner or playing card games around the table, all while taking in breathtaking oceanfront views. The kitchen has plenty of countertop space, a large pantry, two refrigerators, and is stocked with all your essential kitchen needs. The living room provides an adequate amount of seating for large families to entertain, unwind, or have a family movie night during a rain shower. The bottom level also has a full bathroom with a shower, connected to a large laundry room which will house all your beach towels, clothes, and more. The laundry room also serves a mudroom that has its own entryway off the back porch letting you drop your wet towels and sandy swimsuits right where they need to be. Don’t worry, you always have the option of heading straight to the outdoor shower to continue enjoying the nice breeze from the ocean too.

Being located on the West End of the island means that you can appreciate your walk out to your beach access without worrying about finding a spot for your family to sit. The solitude and seclusion of this beach will allow you to pick the perfect spot to place your beach chairs and umbrella. Does your family have little ones that can’t hang on the beach for extended periods of time? No worries, a private pool is just what you need to help break up those long beach days. The private pool that can be heated is located just off the walkway to the beach and is fully enclosed by a fence, providing safety and privacy. The pool is large enough for families to swim, jump and play together with ample amount of lounge chairs and seating for sunbathing and overseeing the pool fun. Enjoy our pool floats and noodles too! Don’t forget, there is always fishing from the dock and taking in the breeze from the Intercostal waterway too! Other amenities include Wi-Fi, office space, covered parking for multiple cars under the home, as well as extra parking spaces in front of the dock overlooking the canal.

Not that you will want to leave this beach house oasis, but if you do, you are just a short distance away from restaurants, shopping, grocery stores and more.

We appreciate you considering our home for your beach vacation! We strive to create an environment that is welcoming, clean, and cozy! The location of this home will not disappoint! It provides the luxury of being on the West End of the island with amazing views of both the ocean and Intercostal waterway. We hope that you decide to spend your vacation at Family Tides!

Great location but needs a little TLC
The location of this house is amazing as is the amount of space it has. There were plenty of areas to hang out, a large eating area, and a fantastic screened in porch. My only suggestion was that it could use a little updating and TLC. The bunk room is updated and looks great, but the bathrooms and other bedrooms felt a little out dated. The location of the house, however, cannot be beat.

Gorgeous Oceanfront Views!
Our group of 7 couples from high school and college gets together once a year! We wanted our own bedrooms, private baths and plenty of room to hang out ocean front! It rained 1.5 days and we hung out on the front and back porches both with covered and screened in porches. This home was so spacious with 7 full baths! The views from the front and back of the house were amazing! We also had plenty of space for food in the large pantry and there were 2 refrigerators in the kitchen and one on the pool level. The host was always available too! Thank you!

Amazing week away
We had a group of 18 and we were able to enjoy the home, the pool, and the beach easily! The house is clean and quiet. Even on a rainy day, we could easily use the porch, too. The Brannons are amazing to work with, too.

Perfect family vacation spot
Our stay at Family Tides was wonderful. It was a great place for us to be with our sons and their families. There was plenty of room for everyone. The location between the beach and the sound can’t be beat. We watched beautiful sunsets each night from the front porch and the dock. The pool was a good size and the ocean is just steps away. The hosts were easy to communicate with and check-in was simple. We hope to return in the future.

Just Fabulous
The house was well stocked with amenities for the beach, the pool, and all your family needs in the house. Beautiful, gated, private location, family could enjoy fishing on the pier, the pool or the beach. Gorgeous views both inside the house and out. Low tides were amazing with all the tide pools. . Plenty of areas/room for 16 people to be, without feeling crowded or if one needed alone time. Sunrises and sunset were amazing. It was overall JUST FABULOUS!

Family time at Family Tides!
Wonderful vacation home for our extended family of 15! It is like having your own private beach at this end of the island. Main living and dining area offers amazing ocean views with a wall of windows along with the deck and screened in porch. We also enjoyed the sunset views over the intercoastal every evening with seating and another screened in porch. All the bedrooms have private baths and the outdoor shower has warm water. Brand new washer/dryer which came in handy! Beautiful new flooring on lower level - easy to keep clean! The bunk room sleeps at least five - great for gaming with TV hookup. Best of all homeowner Braxton checked in often and was VERY responsive to our requests - including sending a brand new keurig the same day (there was a backup drip coffee maker also). Super easy check-in/out! Looking forward to returning!

The weather was horrendous...but the property is fantastic! Clean, beautiful views from all sides, easy beach access, screened porches front and back...just a great place for a beach vacation. The kitchen is spacious, fully equipped and plenty of room. Check-in and out were simple and no glitches. Braxton and Caroline were very accommodating and ensured we had everything we needed.

Excellent weekend
The owners went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful. They made sure we arrived safely, were able to gain entry to the house, and that everything was satisfactory. The house is gorgeous and is the perfect location to unwind. We have been renting beach houses for over 20years and this is by far the best location for sunrises, sunsets, leisurely walks, and peacefulness. We hope to rent the house again in 2023.
