Comfortable accommodations at affordable rates in a great vacation location. That's what makes Channel Harbor a great vacation value.

Why Michael S. Young chose Ocean Isle Beach

We have vacationed off and on at Ocean Isle Beach for over 50 years, traveling from Michigan in the summers as kids. Now that we live in North Carolina, OIB is our weekend getaway. We love the beach and Ocean Isle still has its allure. Channel Harbor is special because it is located on the extreme west end of the island, with water on three sides (ocean, inlet and waterway). It is a small condo community of 4 buildings with 32 one bedroom, one bath units built around a pool. Each condo is individually owned and decorated. The small development is owner managed (not a property management company) and it shows as it is well tended to. It is a great group of owners. Our family loves Channel Harbor and we hope yours will too. Come spend a week, not a fortune and enjoy our slice of island paradise.

What makes this condo unique

Just 300 feet from the dunes, a nice oceanfront restaurant/bar on the way. Easy access to the Intra Coastal Wateray to launch a kayak. Great pool and deck. Free Wi-Fi. Close to shopping, dining and all things beachy.

Notes: This is a non smoking, non pet unit (no exceptions). Sorry no boats, trailers, golf or street carts. We try to keep our condo in tip top shape. It is bright, clean and cheery. It is well stocked for cooking and eating. It is located very close to the ocean...an easy walk, even for small children. Channel Harbor is a small 4 building 32 unit community built around a pool. All units are one bedroom. Great for individuals, couples and small families. The Isles oceanfront restaurant is located on the way to the beach. Sit on the Isles deck and enjoy fantastic ocean views while enjoying great food and a full bar. Great walking, biking, boating, sunning, running, swimming. Our small family loves it. I think yours will too!

The location si very quiet and safe.
My two years old son walk easly to the beach each morning.
The beach was good for bodysurfing and safe for kids .

Even with a 19 hours car ride from Montréal we will go back someday.
Recommended for:  Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Thanks for your email. We are pleased that you and your family had such a great vacation. Montreal is a long drive so the destination better be good! We have always said that the west end of Ocean Isle Beach is very convenient to the beach, inlet and Intra Coastal Waterway for all ages. The beach is wide and sandy and getting to the dune crossing is a breeze. Walking and biking is always preferable to driving, even to the waterfront restaurant. Our satisfied guests are our best sales force so please share your vacation experience with your friends. We look forward to having you back at the beach next summer. NOTE: All 32 Channel Harbor condos are one bedroom one bath and are privately owned, decorated and maintained by the individual. We can arrange for additional condos with other property owners if you want to come back with friends or family.

Great Condo, Accessible Owner!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 5, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
This condo was perfect for our family of four -- a pool right down the stairs and a short walk to the beach. Unit is well-maintained and looks just like the pictures. The best part for me was that when I had some questions and an issue with the clothes dryer not working, not only was the owner immediately reachable, but he sent someone to fix it shortly after. We had a great week!
Owner's Response: Thanks for your review. We enjoyed having you this week and hope you can come back again next summer. We know that our satisfied guests are our best sales force and aim to please. Ocean Isle Beach is a magical place of lasting memories. I am glad that we left you with a great impression of our little piece of paradise. Safe travels.

Wonderful Beach Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: June 27, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Our visit at Ocean Isle was better than I had hoped for! Our family had never rented a private space before, so we were a little nervous about what to anticipate, but there were no disappointments. Michael has all the basics covered and the items in the shed for your personal use were a huge bonus... from beach umbrellas to bocce ball! We lived at the beach daily and utilized the pool (when our kids were tired of digging sand out of thier suits lol) but it was nice to go back and have the comforts of home and save money for the "special" things on our trip by eating in on the grill daily. Beach is a very short walk away, pool in your yard, sun everyday, a CLEAN and inviting place to call home for a week.. we LOVED it! Thank You Michael and your team :)
Owner's Response: Thanks so much for your review. We have rented enough beach property personally to know what it is like to be apprehensive about the process and experience.... sometimes you just don't know what your walking into. And those incidentals...beach chairs, umbrella, pool and beach toys add up and are a pain to stuff back into the station wagon. As such, we have tried very hard to take the unknowns out of the equation and deliver more than was expected. Your kind review is music to our ears, thanks! Hope you can come back again next summer and experience our little slice of paradise. Channel Harbor makes for a great week at the beach and we are pleased that you got to enjoy it.

Not pleased...

1 of 5
Submitted: June 20, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
My husband and I went down to Ocean Isle for a relaxing Memorial Day weekend. When we arrived the property manager was trying to fix the wireless internet at the condo. That was great, we thought it would be fixed and we would have wireless for the remainder of the weekend. We got all of our belongings up the 3 flights of stairs and began to take a look a round. The condo seemed fine upon arrival, but after further inspection it was obvious that the place had not been cleaned recently or at all. There was hair all in the bathtub and on the bathroom floor, and there were numerous dead bugs in the kitchen. I was very disappointed, and my husband called the property manager (who had just been there and knew we were there) to ask him about the cleanliness. He did not answer his phone, so my husband left him a message to please return his phone call. This was on Friday evening, and we never heard back from him... ever. Later that evening, we could not find any piece of information that gave the wireless internet password, so I emailed the property manager that Friday evening, and again did not ever hear back from him. We proceeded to clean the place ourselves so we could bare it. On another note, the condo has absolutely no view of anything except for other condos in the village area. The walk is short to the beach, but it was very crowded on the beach because it was the part of the island where it is mostly multi-family residences and rentals. We would not recommend staying here if you like ocean/water views, privacy, and a clean rental. Very disappointing stay to say the least. We will not be returning...
Owner's Response: I am disappointed and sorry that you and your husband were not satisfied with your Memorial Day weekend stay. We work very hard to anticipate our guests needs and try to exceed your expectations. That fact that we did such a miserable job is very discerning. In our six years of rentals, yours is the first review that was not 5 out of 5. We will take it to heart and promise to do better in the future.

In our defense, we inspected the unit before you arrived and that is how we knew that your Wi-Fi was not working properly. My contact information (home phone, cell phone, office phone) was on every piece of correspondence that I had with you. A review of all 3 call logs did not show any calls from you (messages or hang ups) other than the time we spoke directly by phone. Our ability to be contacted is something that we will have to disagree on. We are very very accessible. The Wi-Fi code was clearly printed on the same document that had your door code to get into the unit (which also had my 3 contact phone numbers).

I do appreciate your staying with us and for your review. We will work harder to insure that those things that we have direct control over are done well, and those things that we depend on others to do for us are tended to in a timely and more professional manner.

This condo was clean, well kept and comfortable. All of the amenities worked well...Wi-Fi, TV's, washer/dryer, kitchen appliances...Channel Harbor is a small (4 building, 32 unit) development around a pool, managed by the owners (not a property management company). It makes a difference! Everything is well kept and well done. Only 300 feet from the ocean dune (easy walk for young kids), 100 feet from the Intra Coastal Waterway and close to restaurants and shopping. Great area for walking and biking. Beautiful beach. Nice pool and deck. Tons of golf courses and new public tennis courts within a few miles. We will be back next summer!
