Great property with great views all around. Rented the property for my family’s yearly beach trip, and for the first time, no one had any complaints about the house! The property was well maintained, and the owner was prompt to respond to any minor issues. The only bad thing was having to leave! Would definitely recommend this property!

Great house on OIB

We loved our stay here! The house has everything you need for a week or two of relaxing at the shore: beds were comfortable, most have their own bathroom, the kitchen has all the pots, pans, and utensils you could need. The kids loved the pool, especially the outdoor TV. We also spent most of the day at the beach which was easy because the walk is short. We had a couple questions throughout our stay and the host was always quick to respond. In short, there's no doubt we'll stay here when we come.to OIB next year.

85th Birthday Celebration & More

4 generations of our family gathered for a week at Papa’s Porch where we celebrated our mother’s 85th birthday, a niece recent engagement and two baby reveals. We had a great week to say the least and found this 8 bedroom house very comfortable and nice. We especially enjoyed late night conversations on the large porches and poolside. Kudos to our host who checked on us and was responsive when necessary. We highly recommend Papa’s Porch and hope to do this again.

Peace at Papa's Porch

Papa's Porch is a quiet place in a busy world. Close access to the center of the Island with great views. We like to cook at home so that we can have plenty of fellowship and the kitchen was fully stocked. Pool area was nice with nice roomy outside shower which was wonderful for the 4 children. The essentials on hand were great too. Of course the porches were well visited. Thanks for a very memorable time. Sheila H.

We Enjoyed Our Time at Papa's Porch

We recently stayed at Papa's Porch, and it was an awesome experience. Brian was very attentive to our needs and was in consistent contact with us prior to our arrival. He was very responsive and answered our questions promptly. There was an issue with the key pad upon checking in, but he notified us of the issue and the property manager was out the next morning to fix it. The home was very clean and provided comfort and amenities for our entire family. It was a great place to celebrate Mother's Day and my mother's 80th birthday! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

First time to Ocean Isle

The home was clean and the layout was good. They provided several amenities. The views and the location were excellent. The pool area was clean and provided lots of sitting space. The refrigerator on the bottom floor near pool was very convenient and a great addition. We would recommend this home and location.

Could of been spectacular!

Papa's Porch is in a great location on the island and has beautiful views on the both the front and back porches. The pool, although a little on the small size, met our needs well. Communication with owners, both before and during the trip, was excellent. All that being said the house was on the disappointing side. From the beginning...the elevator repair people were at the house when we arrived. After working to repair it we were told it wasn't going to happen during our trip. However, on the day before we left the repairmen returned to get the broken part from the elevator. The said they were going to repair it and put it back on the next day so the elevator would be working for the next tenants. Why wasn't this be done for us? We had to contact the maintenance or owner numerous times. 1st floor AC stopped working, lots of burnt of light bulbs, front door handle fell off, 1/2 bath toilet got clogged. The kitchen needs a complete organization. The furniture is worn out. We were given 1 set of towels per person, 2 kitchen towels and crunchy sheets. Papa's Porch could be spectacular, but as is it is just average. No one wants to spend their vacation calling about constant issues and having repair people in and out of their rental.

Papas Porch 6/24-7/1

We have stayed at several beach houses over 30+ years and this has to be in my top 3. The location is number 1 in my books. The island is perfect for the relaxation aspect and just enjoying time with family. The property owner was extremely great at communication and helped with all of our needs and questions. The house fit our family perfectly which included 13 adults and 4 kids. There’s nothing besides clothes and hygiene products that you will need as everything is provided. I would absolutely book this beautiful home again in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Great Location, plenty of space for a large group

We stayed at PaPa's porch for a pre wedding get together with friends. The house is huge, but with 3 floors, you don't feel on top of each other. Kitchen was very well stocked. With 15 people, trying to cook could be a hard task without the right size pans and serving bowls. The house had everything we needed. We had zero issues at the house other than locking oursleves out of a bathroom. I got a returned text within 10 minutes. There's plenty of parking and it's on a dead end so VERY little traffic. And the pool? When they say heated they aren't just saying that. It was a little cool when we were there but the pool was wonderful! Great house, highly recommend!

Family Vacation Approved!

We had a wonderful time with our family at Papa's Porch. We spent most of our time between the pool and the beach. Both were excellent. The 20 - somethings found their way to multiple locations on the beach and island shops while the littles enjoyed the sand and surf. Older adults enjoyed sunrises on the beach, beach walks and sunsets from the decks. Everything we needed was found. Just grab your groceries and head on to a wonderful stay! Communication with the host was excellent. One hiccup at the beginning of our stay with late check in and missing linens but that was rectified within 30 minutes! All in all a fantastic location! You will not be disappointed with Papa's Porch 😁
