The space
Peek a boo view of the ocean from this very laid back beach cottage. Master bedroom has a king size bed and a just added half bath. Second bedroom has twin bunk beds and a full. Third bedroom has a queen size bed. We just added a brand new and very roomy outdoor shower and also a half bath in the master bedroom.

Kids toys, DVDs, puzzles and books available for your leisure.

The covered outdoor patio/seating area with bar top is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day at the beach. Edison lights to enhance the atmosphere. Cornhole boards available to pass the time.

Charcoal grilling area in backyard.

Middleton park, just 5 houses from the cottage, has a ball field, tennis courts a skate park and on Monday mornings during the summer months a farmers market is set up with local fruits and vegetables, bakery goods and crafts. Many people are out running, walking and bike riding but there are other activities on Oak Island like golfing, putt putt, kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing, swimming and boating.

Another 2 blocks from the house there is the end of the Davis canal where people love to go fishing or crabbing.

Drive to Southport, 12 minutes away for great restaurants and shopping or take the ferry to Carolina Beach or Bald Head Island. Wilmington is also a great trip, 45 minutes away, with more shopping and restaurants.

Enjoy viewing the deer and all the other wildlife from our deck. We have a little canal across the street and you may see our resident Egret.

When you're ready to hit the beach, just go left out of the driveway to 43rd St (4 lots) and turn left and the public beach access is straight ahead. 3 houses.

This is NOT Myrtle Beach. This is a quiet, relaxing and stress free beach. Enjoy.

Cute Bungalow

Super cute house for a quick getaway. Clear communication on check in was awesome and the house was clean. Unfortunately it rained the whole time we were there. But we still had fun just having an adult weekend away!

Great little getaway

My friends and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend at this home. Great beach access, located on a quiet street, and a quick walk to the local pizza place (which was delicious). Owners responded quickly to minor issues that were resolved.

fantastic escape for small kiddos

This was a perfect home base for our weekend with little ones! Just a block walk from the splash pad and Middleton Park, along with tennis courts, the weekly farmers market and the dole whip stand... we had a blast! Outdoor shower was great for hosing off the sand and adding more shower options for a bigger house full of people needing to get cleaned off. Kitchen is nicely stocked for cooking at home. Porch was shaded in the afternoon and was a great spot to hang out and enjoy a beverage. No ocean views, but super quick walk to the public access, so we could run home for forgotten beach supplies easily. 2 beach chairs included on the property and a charcoal grill in the back for die hard grillers. Just a really comfortable weekend for the adults and an absolute blast for the kids!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with it's cozy charm and it's great location to the beach, restaurants and short drive to Southport. We are a very short walk to the beach and Middleton Park which has a splash pad for kids and is the location for all summer concerts/events and the Monday Artisans market. Also attached to the park are tennis and pickleball courts. Walking distance to many great restaurants, beach shops, Publix Supermarket and more. We feel there is no better location on the beach for walkable amenities. Davis Canal ends 2 blocks down on our street. You can fish there, put in a kayak or throw a cast net to catch live shrimp. The canal overflows into a smaller canal across the street from the house where you can catch fiddler crabs or drop in your minnow trap for some additional live bait.

What makes this property unique

Warm and inviting original yet updated beach cottage. We pride ourselves on constantly updating and adding to the amenities as well as making sure our place is sparkling clean. We want you to feel like it's your home!
