About this property

Oak Island Beach - A charming cottage with a view you won't get tired of! The Barden Cottage

Looking for the perfect cottage to relax and enjoy the beautiful Oak Island beach? Look no further.... The Barden Cottage is the perfect spot!

Located just steps from the sand and across the street from the public beach access, this 3 bedroom/2 bathroom home lends decades of family traditions while offering all of the modern amenities. Imagine yourself relaxing on the porch swing after a day at the beach on the beautiful screened in front porch or rocking in the chair on the front deck while taking in the OKI sunset over the ocean. This open floor plan boasts freshly painted walls (2020) with the beautiful exposed wood beams giving you the feel of a traditional beach cottage that families yearn for.

Located just steps from the beach, you won't have to walk far to get back to the house for anything and the keyless entry eliminates the concern for lost keys. Don't feel like cooking or driving? Take a 7 minute walk to Island Way Restaurant and Bar - Oak Island's favorite ocean front dining experience. Need something quickly? The Beach Pantry convenience store is only 0.5 miles away - an easy walk. We are just a short walk from Oak Island's famous Ocean Crest Pier where you can fish without having your own gear- rods, bait, etc. available for rental.

Our goal is to provide our guests with the absolute best experience. We want you to feel like our home is your home throughout your entire stay. If you have a special occasion or surprise, please let us know and we will be happy to assist with making it exceptional! When you arrive you will find a plethora of information on area attractions, restaurants, activities, etc.

Easy Access to the Beach

The house is located across the street from beach access. Nice views of the water from the house. Almost everything needed in the kitchen. I did buy a coffee maker, but there is a pod type. Short on skillets, but all in all well stocked. Nice that beach chairs are located with the w/d downstairs. Water pressure was awesome! Clean, and comfortable. Linen was included! We really enjoyed our stay!!

Fishing weekend

First time using VRBO, very simple and great experience. The house was very clean and felt like home. The location was directly across from the ocean. It had great views from the front balcony. Only a 10 minute drive to the point where we caught flounder, red drum and blues.

Great cottage!

This was a great little cottage and location. First world issues here… this is picky but the only “complaint” I have is the mattress covers. They are the plastic ones that make all the noise when you move. I get why the owners have those water proof ones but if you’re a light sleeper just bring an extra one from home and it may help to keep it in place.
