Appropriately named The Ayye, this A-Frame Ocean Isle Beach home is a unique three-level 3BR/2BA home, featuring 1,259 square feet of completely renovated living space & a prime location less than 450 feet from the beach. Own a bit of OIB history in not only this rare architecture but also a massive shipping beacon set up as a lighthouse in the front yard. Unwind in a light-filled interior with vaulted ceilings and tongue & groove pine walls, which are the interior of the roof! The wrap around deck and ground level covered patio offer plenty of space to enjoy the Atlantic breeze, and a private hot tub awaits after a fun-filled day by the sea. High ceilings soar in the sunny living room, where there’s plenty of comfy seating & a 55” Roku TV sets the scene for relaxed movie nights. Above the polished wood dining table, that comfortably seats 8, a unique reclaimed ship’s lantern hung from a boat oar provides a nice ambiance for special home cooked meals. Granite countertops and a full suite of stainless steel appliances shine in the well-equipped kitchen. Store all your groceries in the roomy side-by-side fridge, or place non-perishables in the spacious cabinets or screened-door pantry. To the rear of the kitchen, captain & chief mate quarters are each outfitted with king sized beds with private access to the rear porch. Upstairs, the second floor features a study alcove behind nautical boat shelving, a perfect spot to quickly check emails or get work done. A bright guest bathroom features a granite vanity & tub/shower combination. The third bedroom has three uniquely designed hanging queen-size beds. The fun doesn’t stop here as an extraordinary third-floor loft presents a cozy get-away with plenty of space & a 50” TV. Discover a plethora of shops & restaurants 1 mile from your door at Ocean Isle Beach Pier. The home sleeps up to 10 guests in three bedrooms (the day beds in the loft are extra space), each equipped with its own flat-screen TV. Great Rental History
