Johnson's Coastal Cottage - Vacation rental home in Ocean Isle Beach, NC

The Finest Spot on the Island for Boaters & Beach Lovers!

Welcome to one of our favorite places on Ocean Isle Beach! Just a short idle from the Intracoastal Waterway, our freshly modernized private dock is ideal for fishing, swimming, or keeping your boat ready for a day on the water. Whether you're heading offshore, cruising the ICW, or spending the day anchored at a close by island beach, this location provides painless access to it all.

The nearest beach access is only a 10-min. walk (0.5 miles) away. To make your beach trips even easier, we provide a huge beach cart with room for a cooler, chairs, and all your gear. Four beach chairs and a cornhole set are also available for your enjoyment.

When You Arrive

• Linens are included—and the beds are already made when you arrive! For full-week units, bath towels are also supplied.

• Basic household supplies are supplied and ready for your stay. The spice cabinet is entirely supplied as well, so you may not even need to stop at the store upon arrival.

• Two fridges are available:

Downstairs refrigerator: ideal for beverages and includes an ice maker.
