Loved Island Life! Was very clean, cozy, cute and everything was thought of by the owner to make our stay pleasant. Walking distance to beach. Will definitely stay again! Thank you :)
Enjoyed our stay. Was walking distance to the beach. The host had the camper well equipped. Was able to save money by cooking meals at the rental. Really appreciated the great selection of coffee that they provided. Price was very reasonable and I will be checking availability on the next trip up there
This was an absolutely perfect getaway! The camper was Super Clean, had everything that you would need and just a short walk to the beach. We will Absolutely be staying here again!
This property was perfect for our surf weekend! The place was clean, comfortable and the location was great. We will be visiting again next year! Thanks

A cute stay. The owner was quick to respond to our questions and very helpful. Beautiful walk to the beach, across a little bridge with greenery everywhere. Very enjoyable.
We were beyond pleased with this rental! The place is actually quite roomy - larger than I expected after looking at the photos - and SPOTLESS clean. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, even a Keurig coffee maker with coffee pods and creamers. Pleasant short walk to the ocean beach. HIGHLY recommend!
I came into town to see some of the historic sites in the area. The "Island Life" is a delightful space, with exactly what I needed: a clean safe place in a quiet area, easy access to the beach, and close to many things to do. The host Jonathan was welcoming and responded to my emails in an extremely timely manner. I was very happy to stay there.
Such a great place to stay! Short walk to the beach, dog friendly, full kitchen, and overall very clean. Showers were hot even when we did back to back showers. Check in instructions were clear, no problem finding the place. Plenty of games and DVDs in case of a rainy day. Will definitely keep this place in mind when planning another OBX vacation!
This is a great find! Short walk to a very secluded beach. Jonathan was very responsive. Plenty of room for my wife, myself and our two dogs. all cookware you need is there, bring your spices!! This will be our go to when traveling to the area
Quiet, clean, comfortable.
Short walk to the beach where our dog had his first encounter with waves. Just fun. Ate at good winds restaurant above the kitty hawk kite store.
Great space for a solo traveler or couple (and furry companion)
The place is just as advertised, clean and well-maintained. I got there at dark in the rain, so it was a bit hard to find amongst the other modulars in the cul-de-sac, but the host provided detailed directions which made the search much easier lol.
Jonathan is responsive and provides all the last minute things you might forget for your stay, such as sunblock, water bottles, and even dog dishes for your furry co-pilot, so you can focus on hitting the beach once you get there :)
My husband and I stayed at Island life for our first trip to the OBX. We cannot say enough about the place. It was very clean, well equipped with things that you may have forgotten. Jonathan has placed a lot of thought into this place. We were a five minute walk to the beach which our fur babies definitely enjoyed. Jonathan gave us ideas on places to visit and places to visit. Thanks Jonathan for this amazing opportunity!!!

Small and sweet
This is a small RV that is very sweet on the inside. You can easily walk to a beautiful beach that is blocks away and not many people on it. The location is in a trailer park but the trailers on either side are deserted.
Jonathan is awesome! Asked if it was possible to check in shortly after lunch & he was able to make it happen. The camper was perfect for myself and my pup. It was furnished with everything that I needed/wanted to include Monk fruit sweetener for my coffee! Short walk to beach access. I will DEFINITELY stay again
We had a wonderful time. The place was extremely clean and had everything we needed, and more! Loved the extras especially all the accommodations for our dog! Bowls, treats, a lead, and even paw slippers for the sand (although we didn’t even try them as we knew she wouldn’t walk with on 😂). The bed was really comfortable and it was really easy to use to kitchen and outside flat top! Thank you for all the keurig pods too. Great place to stay.
Camper had everything you need. Perfect for a short stay for two people! Great location. Very close to the beach, very nice neighbors. Jonathan’s communication is phenomenal! Definitely pet friendly although we didn’t bring our little fur baby. Highly recommend!!! We will definitely stay again!
It was a great spot for my and the corgis, the folks around the area are very kind and quiet. It was a short easy walk to the beach. Couple of good spots to eat close by
