About this home

Positioned within the coveted A Place at the Beach community on the peaceful west end of Ocean Isle Beach, this fully furnished two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath residence offers an effortless, turnkey transition into coastal property ownership. Elevated on the traditional first living level with an easy covered stair walk-up, the property operates as an active vacation rental, providing an ideal foundation for a strategic investment portfolio or a serene personal island retreat. Designed for low-maintenance living, the interior features luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. Comprehensive capital improvements deliver immediate peace of mind, including a kitchen updated with a new stove and dishwasher (2025), a refreshed tub and shower in the full bath (2025), new covered balcony decking (2025), and a complete HVAC system and hot water heater replacement (2022). Furthermore, neighboring owners within the complex have demonstrated clear value-add potential by utilizing storage space to install stackable laundry units or converting the half-bath into a second full shower (subject to local permits and architectural approval). Situated within a private oceanfront complex on the quiet side of the island, this residence offers direct access to on-site laundry facilities, an oceanfront community pool, and a private beach boardwalk positioned just a short stroll from your door.
