Perfect home for us, our children and our young grandkids. Very comfortable and spacious. Safe area. Close enough to the beach to walk with all our young ones. The beach access to the left had no stairs, so easier for strollers and wagons. The beach access to the right had stairs.

Great stay

The house is in a great location. It was close to the beach and a short drive to restaurants and stores. The pool was heated and a big win with the kids. The kitchen had all the tools you could possibly need, and for once I didn’t have to take out or unpack my own kitchen tools. The house had plenty of room for our whole family, and we will certainly look to book this one again.

Loved our week at Makin Memories

We had a great week staying at Makin’ Memories. The house layout was perfect for our group of 10. Kids very much enjoyed the pool and the beach access was super convenient. Other large beach houses we have stayed in have had AC’s that struggled with the heat and humidity. Not here. House stayed perfectly cool all week. Would definitely book again.

September at Ocean Isle Beach

The beach house was clean, well-appointed with kitchenware and appliances, and well located within a short walk to the beach. Owners were attentive to our needs and communicated with us during our stay to make sure everything was to our liking. House was renovated roughly 3 years ago so it didn't feel old or dingy like many of the other beach homes we have stayed at over the past few years. Would definitely stay there again if the opportunity arises in the future.

Memories Made

Arrived to the house and got in easily. I had to wait for the family, but once they got there, the fun had begun. The pool was great, beach was awesome, weather super, food was good (it was my cheat week), and my family had a great time as well.

Wonderful weekend

Overall this was a wonderful stay and I’d stay here again. Great beach views! Loved the fact that every bedroom had its own bathroom. The only downside is they don’t provide linens unless you order them and there was no toilet paper or hand soap on arrival. Make sure you grab those things on your way in.

Memorial Day Weekend

This was a great property! Comfortably slept 6 adults and 8 children (between 6 months and 13 years). Very clean. Very close to beach access. Pool was a big hit with all the kids. Great room comfortably accommodated all of us for games and TV. Kitchen had everything we needed for meals at home. Hoping to come back next year!

Relaxing house at a beautiful beach!

This house is spacious and comfortable. It is very well located in the second row from the beach, close to two beach access points. There's a pool in the back, and a nice grill so you can barbecue. One of my favorite things about the house is that there are two porches across the front. The one off the main living space has a big table that seats 8. We ate all our meals out there. The upstairs porch has a smaller table and chairs and is a nice place to sit outside at night and listen to the ocean. The only negative point is one the host made clear in advance - linens are not provided. No sheets or pillowcases, no towels, no beach towels. There are no hand towels or hand soap in the bathrooms. I understand this is a new trend in beach rentals, but I don't like it. We packed up all the linens and towels we needed, and with everything else we had to bring, our car was literally packed to the ceiling. Then when we got to the house, we had to go out and buy hand and dish soap. But we enjoyed this wonderful house just the same.

Our stay in OIB was the perfect week. Makin’ Memories allowed our crew to enjoy each day to the fullest. The space was clean, comfortable, and the best fit for our 12 person group. The owner was easily accessible before, during, and after the trip whenever we needed a question answered. We will definitely be making a return trip.

First let me just say this house was beautiful and very very clean! My friends and I booked this house for a long weekend and it was perfect. Super close to beach access and the pool was the perfect ending to each day. The pool lights weren’t working the first night but when I called and told the host he was extremely quick to respond, I’m talking the pool guy was there with in five minutes and the lights were back on shortly after. Also there was plenty of room for everyone, a lot of inside seating as well as outside too! I would definitely stay here again and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Great friends trip staying at Makin’ Memories!

We were 3 families with young kids and throughly enjoyed staying at Makin’ Memories! The home was very clean, kitchen stocked with all the essentials, comfortable beds, and nice ocean views from the second row. The pool area and under home space was well kept and comfortable with additional space to gather. The home is almost midpoint between two beach accesses but still a short walk. The communication with the home owner was excellent! Overall a great stay and would stay here again!

Awesome Views

Although it rained for our stay it helped to have such a spacious house to be in..The views of the ocean are beautiful from the upper level. Plenty of beds and baths.We had to bring our linens but that was no problem. The grandkids enjoyed the pool in between the rain and the outdoor furniture was useful so we could sit outside and enjoy the beach air. I would definitely stay here again just hope we have sunnier days!
