About this property

A Shore Thing

Cute beach cottage in great location on Oak Island. Newly renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bath house sleeps 8. Nice large deck on side of house with grill. Deck extends to back where there is a fenced backyard with firepit area. Enjoy a game of cornhole or watch movies on wifi TVs. The house has queen in master, twins in second bedroom and trundle in front bedroom, as well as queen sofa bed. Well stocked kitchen so cooking is a breeze and a large pantry for plenty of storage.

The house is in short walking distance to the beach, numerous restaurants, grocery stores, gift shops, donut/ice cream shop, ABC store, intercostal waterway, nature park and picnic pavilion at ICW park, plus a dock 3 blocks away to launch kayaks and boat or do some fishing. Also in walking distance to kids water park, mini golf and Middleton park (which features live outdoor concerts, movie nights and festivals regularly throughout the summer), tennis and basketball courts and playground.

If you want to rent a gulf cart to get around, those are available 3 blocks from the house. Southport is a 10 min drive and has a great downtown area with shops, antique mall, brewery, wine stop, waterfront parks and great waterfront restaurants. NC Aquarium is close (15 min ferry from Southport to Ft Fisher). Bald Head Island ferry can also be taken from Southport. The waterfront in historic downtown Wilmington is a 30 min drive, as well as USS North Carolina Battleship, which is open for tours.

Walk the beach at the Caswell end of the island and see our lighthouse, enjoy gulf on the island, plenty of water craft rentals (kayaks, paddle board, canoes, boats), water tours are available from several places in Southport. Walk the Point at the west side of the island where the intercoastal meets the ocean and see our amazing sunsets. Throw your fishing line in the ICW or into Davis Canal. Great location for cycling as well.

A wonderful spot for our writing retreat
My friends and I couldn't have been happier with our stay at A Shore Thing. The three of us enjoyed our private bedroooms and the shared living room and outdoor patio were perfect for our get togethers. Cooking was fun and easy because the kitchen was so well equipped. We appreciated the fancy coffee machine and the little snacks that were left. We loved the five minute walk to the grocery store and the beach. The neighborhood was calm and peaceful. Definitely a five star visit! I would like to return with my husband.

Quiet, family vacation
The pictures online really don’t show how beautiful the home truly is . well decorated comfortable the beds were comfortable. Everyone had their own quiet little location outside was awesome. Our family barbecued for Easter weekend and we had wonderful family time. The beach is very close by. You have Variety of places to go eat whether it’s seafood or ice cream it’s in an extremely good location whether you want to walk bike ride or drive your car . Ms. Bernice thought about everything there was nothing in the home that was missing and inclusive of an extremely well stocked kitchen . anytime I contacted Ms. Bernice just with a general question, she responded almost immediately. We highly recommend her home and will be repeated guest. 😊 Thank you!

Perfect stay!
Just spent the weekend with a group of girlfriends, and the house was perfect! Everything was so clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. We really appreciated all the amenities, including a bowl of yummy snacks. The outdoor deck area was super relaxing and we enjoyed one of our nights around the fire pit. Bernice was very responsive as a host and we would not hesitate to stay at this property again.
