Boater’s Paradise! Newly decorated canal home with new boat dock. - Vacation rental home in Ocean Isle Beach, NC

Welcome to the Scotch Bonnet in Ocean Isle Beach. Named after the State Shell of North Carolina (with a nod to our Scottish ancestry), this chic four-bedroom home is a outstanding spot to be able to access the beach, tie your boat to the dock to access the Waterway, or just go fishing and crabbing right outside your door. An outdoor bar area lets you appreciate the sun setting while unwinding at the canal.

You will arrive to find towels and linens included in each room with the beds already made for you by our cleaning crew (a service that would cost more than $300 if arranged through a private company), all of which is supplied in the cleaning fee. There are two bedrooms on each floor, with the bedrooms on each floor sharing a Jack and Jill style shiplap paneled bathroom. The first floor has two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the second with two additional-long (XL) twin beds. The second floor has one bedroom with a king bed and another with two double beds.

The kitchen is well appointed and provides ample workspace for meal preparation. A Traeger Pro Series grille is located outside by the bar area. The kitchen table can be expanded or contracted with an insert to accommodate the appropriate number of people. This main room opens out to a full-size covered deck overlooking the canal, which can accommodate outdoor dining.

Beach toys, a cornhole board, and other supplies are located in an outdoor storage closet. Wi-fi coverage extends out to the dock via an extended Wi-fi network. An outdoor shower is located downstairs to rinse off after a salty day at the beach. Bring your boat and tie up at the dock! A discreet and covered Magma fish cleaning station is installed on the dock. A water supply is available at the walkway to the dock with a hose that will extend to the end of the dock. A enormous outdoor ice maker is running 24-7 so you can keep your beach or boat cooler iced down.

We owned a five-bedroom, five-bathroom home on the other end of the island and rented that out as a five-star property until late 2024. We decided that for us, a home on the water is just better. We sold that home and bought the Scotch Bonnet, and we are so happy that we did! We definitely appreciate this home and hope that you will choose to be our guest!
