Starboard by the Sea · Ocean Isle Beach
A renovated top-floor condo for 8 over Jinks Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway, a few minutes' walk from the beach, with kayaks and paddle boards in the closet.
Ocean Isle Beach Pier is within about a mile, with restaurants and coffee on the way.
Jinks Creek
Starboard by the Sea has its own kayak launch and fishing docks on Jinks Creek. Paddle out into the marsh and the Intracoastal Waterway and you may see dolphins, egrets, herons, ospreys and pelicans; or stay on the dock with a line or a crab trap. A charcoal grill sits by the waterfront boardwalk for whatever you bring back.
Beach access
Load the beach wagon and walk: the community's private access is three to four minutes away, with two public accesses nearby and a handicap-accessible access within walking distance. Ocean Isle is known for wide sand and gentle waves, good for swimming, shelling and fishing from the shore.
Salt & Sound changed hands in June 2026. In the owners' words: "We have owned and managed successful vacation rental properties and understand what guests value most, clean accommodations, thoughtful amenities, responsive communication, and a stress-free vacation experience." Many of the things returning guests loved are still here, and improvements continue. Whether you have stayed before or this is your first visit, we look forward to welcoming you.
