About this property

Beautiful Ocean Front Home with Stunning Views

Make The Yellow Sub OIB your vacation home and create memories you will not forget. This stunning house, built in 2014, is oceanfront and it has all the amenities. The house has 6 bedrooms, 6 ½ bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, TVs and ceiling fans in each room, WiFi, decks overlooking the ocean, a private walkway to the beach, a pool, Tiki bar, a lounge area by the pool, an elevator to all floors and private parking. The house accommodates 16 not including a sofabed.

The most frequently made comment about The Yellow Sub OIB is that the pictures don’t capture the beauty of the house and the awesome panoramic views of the beach and ocean.

The main floor of the house has an open floor plan combining the kitchen, and dining and living areas. The living room has two sofas and movable chairs for conversation, viewing TV/movies, or watching the surf. There is an entertainment center with a smart TV, a Blu-Ray player, and a stereo receiver with surround sound that can be played throughout the living and dining areas. A wet bar is also located in the living area. The dining area has two tables with seating for 16 people. The gourmet kitchen has spacious granite counters, including a raised area with bar stools for eating, working on projects, or watching the chefs. The appliances are stainless steel and include a large refrigerator, dishwasher, separate ice-maker, oven, and microwave, and the counter contains a flat top cook stove. Family meals are easy to prepare with the pots and pans, measuring cups, etc. that are there, and there are sufficient number of plates, glasses, and flatware for everyone to enjoy a meal together. The master bedroom, with a king bed, is on the main floor and the master bath includes a rain shower, garden tub and walk-in closet.

The upper level of the house has 5 bedrooms; two facing the ocean each with a queen bed, two facing the street each with a double and a single bed, and a room with two bunk beds. The house is decorated with playful colors and each room has a theme which will leave you talking about the house and humming the yellow sub theme.

The ground level has an in-ground pool, which is partially under the house and therefore can be used on rainy days. The pool is heated from April through October. In addition, the ground level has a Tiki bar, gas grill, and lounge deck with deck chairs. This is a great place for cookouts, conversation, play, or just relaxing in the sun away from the sand.

There are decks on the main and upper levels facing the street and there are decks on the main and upper levels facing the beach/ocean. Those facing the beach/ocean provide a panoramic view of the beach that is spectacular. A private walkway leads to the beach and there are two out-coves in the walkway which can be used as areas for conversation or to soak up the sun.

A few steps from the house is a wonderful, white-sand beach and the gentle waves of the ocean. Take a blanket, couple of chairs, or some sand toys and enjoy the beach.

The Yellow Sub OIB will not disappoint. It is perfect for weddings, family reunions, friends getting together, retreats, golf outings, etc. Thank you for considering The Yellow Sub OIB as your spot in the sun.

The house was nicer and larger than even the pictures lead you to believe! We loved it all!

We just returned home from our stay in Ocean Isle Beach at the Yellow Sub OIB.....the home was perfect, spacious, and well stocked of amenities. There were 10 adults and 5 children in our group and there was plenty of room for all to roam and have privacy if needed. The master shower is amazing and I highly recommend using it. The large back decks were perfect for relaxing while feeling the wind and hearing the waves crash. The pool was great and was enjoyed daily by our group. The location of the home also allowed some space on the beach so we never felt like we were being crowded. The under cabinet icemaker did have to be turned off due to a leak that was apparently not reported by prior tenants but we managed by simply buying bagged ice. If you are planning a stay in OIB, I absolutely recommend the Yellow Sub OIB.......you simply will not be disappointed. And to top everything off it helps that the owners are great on communication of any needs or questions. So go ahead and book a stay......and enjoy!

The best home friends and family gatherings!

We absolutely love staying at the Yellow Sub. There is not one thing you could change about this home. It is so well equipped in the kitchen and in each bedroom. We had three large families with kids ages 1-12. We had the absolutely best trip. You cannot ask for a better place to stay when you are ocean front and have a pool! Everyone including the adults want to go back as soon as possible! Thank you Ken and Betty!

Best house at Ocean Isle Beach

We are a return visitor to the Yellow Submarine and can say hands down this is the best house we have stayed at, at Ocean Isle Beach. The house is very well stocked and always clean, and the owners are phenomenal to work with. My only hesitation in writing this review is I don't want the best kept secret to get out about how great this house and owner are!

OIB Delight

I have vacationed at OIB for over 20 years and the Yellow Sub was by far the best stocked house I have rented. Dishes, cookware, cleaning items, toilet paper, paper towels, beach/pool gear— it had it all. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space when they needed it and areas where the whole gang could gather together comfortably. I would not hesitate to rent this property again.

Surprised & Delighted - "Love Me Do"

This was a very special vacation for our family; which was made even better by this beautiful beach property. The photos online give an overview, but don't impart just how family friendly & attractive this property is. The bathrooms were all clean and very high functioning. The water pressure was perfect. Laundry machine is new and works as it should. Property is very roomy with all amenities you need & more. There were snacks provided and extra linens and soaps. The beach access is amazing with gates that keep it very safe and secure for all ages of Children. A well appointed kitchen, large eating area and a pristine pool completed the property. Much thought has gone into the arrangement of this property. The owners were prompt & very professional with any questions or concerns we had about the property. A 5 star experience from start to finish and would recommend anyone with small children / larger families to consider as everything is worth it for this property.

Absolutely perfect

This was our 2nd stay at the Yellow Sub. It is a great location with all the amenities you can desire. Our group of 7 women enjoy all the outdoor areas from the beach front to the delightful pool. Plenty of room for us to enjoy a puzzle and games on one table and still have the other for our meals. We are already planning our next mini vacation getaway!! Ken and Betty are wonderful to work with. Can’t express in words how much we love it here!!! ❤️

THE BEST BEACH VACATION EVER!

We have vacationed with my husbands family all over the Carolinas and this house set up was BY FAR the best we have ever had. The pictures don't do it justice at all. Everything was clean, well maintained, this house had EVERYTHING you needed. The location was perfect. steps from the beach and the pool was right under the house which was ideal. We had 7 adults and 4 toddlers and just had the best time with PLENTY of space. Thank you again and we hope to book with you next summer!

Wonderful week at the Yellow Sub house

From the moment we arrived we fell in love with this house and the location! The views from all the decks on the back are wonderful. You can't ask for anything better then being beach front! Plus, this home is located right between two public beach access points, which makes the spot on the beach in front of the house pretty empty. At times, we felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves! Owners were great. We had one minor issue with the elevator (user error) and they sent someone out within the hour! I hope we get the chance to stay at the Yellow Sub house again someday soon!

Excellent location

Yellow Sub offered the perfect beach location. Loved not having to lug beach chairs, umbrellas etc to the beach each day. The house had plenty of room and was very well stocked. We certainly appreciated having basic cleaning supplies and paper products provided. I was a little concerned as the pool was cloudy (from previous occupants) as we arrived and the ice maker did not work but the pool guy was already working on clearing it up as was the repairman for the ice maker. An unexpected plus was a bathroom near the pool. It was nice having smart tvs in all the bedrooms but the downside was slow internet.

A Wonderful Week

This place had it all (& then some). Checking in/out was a breeze. Once we arrived the place was super clean and VERY organized and actually had a little more there than listed (outdoor games/sand toys/beach chairs and umbrellas). One thing I would plan for would be to bring more bath towels or plan to wash often. There was only one towel per person (or bed size—1 for twin, 2 for queen/king/full). If you plan to max out the house (like we did) that’s 1 per person… not a huge deal though. Great house, great location. I 100% recommend this place! We will be coming back!

Girls Weekend

My friends and I have an annual beach trip and the Yellow Sub was by far the best home we've stayed in the 10+ years we have been doing this. We had a few rainy days so we spent time by the pool under cover. Amazing space in the luxury kitchen and living area. The views were fantastic and we can't wait to come back next year! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home.

About the host

Hosted by Ken and Betty

Host profile image
After owning a 1970-style beach house, we decided to build a brand new ocean-front house with all the amenities. It was completed in July 2014. We were married on this property and have made many beautiful memories at this location. We would like to share this opportunity with you and your family and friends. We hope you will stay with us, and we know you will enjoy the property, the views, and the spectacular Ocean Isle Beach. Best, Ken and Betty

Why they chose this property

Ocean Isle Beach is known for its beautiful white sand, wide beach vistas, and family-oriented activities. We particularly like Ocean Isle Beach and the surrounding area because it is close to shopping, restaurants and many forms of entertainment. We always take long walks on the beach, often stopping at the local merchants. There are concerts, festivals, and parades on the island, and a wonderful museum with knowledgeable curators.

We enjoy day trips to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Wilmington, North Carolina; and other Brunswick County towns and beaches. The day trips often include shopping, shows and great food. There are a large number of outstanding golf courses nearby, as well as other water sports and fishing. We like the small town feel of Ocean Isle beach and the closeness of a larger community for food, entertainment, and shopping. It is a great combination that keeps bringing us back to the southeastern part of North Carolina.

What makes this property unique

Modern beach house on the ocean built in 2014. Well appointed with all the amenities. The house has stunning views, an open floor plan, a heated pool (April through October) and all the things one needs for a memorable vacation. Great for family reunions, weddings, business retreats, and a group of friends enjoying the beach. Decorated with a theme throughout the home with vibrant colors. Each room has a story and is appointed to enhance the experience. The Yellow Sub OIB will leave you telling your friends about this vacation experience.
