About this property

Charming 3-bedroom house in OKI just steps from public beach access

What is Pelican Sol? Pelican Sol is a freshly updated beach retreat that embodies the spirit of Oak Island. Quietly located in the heart of Oak Island, Pelican Sol sits directly on the Intracoastal tidal marsh and a mere three hundred steps from Long Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Ocean Crest pier is your backdrop as you find your perfect sand sanctuary on the powdery beach. Imagine yourself sitting on one of the spacious decks enjoying the ocean breeze as you listen to the surf roll in or experience breathtaking views of the marsh and its wild life. At Pelican Sol, you can wake up in the Coral Reef Room and greet the morning as the sun bathes the island in a golden hello. Or, you can watch the sun slip below the horizon to a kaleidoscope of tropical hues from the Tidal Marsh Room. In the Captain’s Quarters, you can let your imagination run wild as the nautical ambience whisks you away to visions of ships and scalawags. When you wind down your day of fun in the sun, a fully enclosed outdoor shower can wash away the salt and sand, but never the memories. And when the stars come out, let the essence of the island recharge your soul under the canopy of a coastal night sky. We know you will love Pelican Sol as much as we do! Cheers!!!

Very clean and tidy house! The hosts truly thought of everything you could need. The special make up towels and turbi-twists are such a nice touch, if you’re a woman, you understand. Kitchen was stocked with all things you might need. Location was perfect! I can’t say enough nice things about this property.

The VRBO description doesn’t do justice to the true beauty of Pelican Sol. The house is immaculate and the view from the back deck is spectacular. Anything you might ever want is available in the kitchen, and the welcome gift is as extremely thoughtful. It’s the last night for us, and I’m sitting on the front deck, listening to the surf and enjoying the quiet of the evening. This is our first time at Pelican, but it will not be our last. Thank you to our wonderful hosts!

Great location and FULLY equipped home. Quiet street overlooking the marsh but 3 minutes to the beach. Travelled with 2 teens and everyone had space and something to do. Boys loved playing corn hole and girls watched a show under the fan on the bed overlooking the marsh. The outdoor shower was fabulous (hot and cold water and great water pressure) after the beach. Air conditioning worked great (heat wave during our visit with 100 degrees each day). We had a wonderful week!

Organized, clean, great communication, thoughtfulness and an overall feeling of staying at a friend's house. The location is great & the house is comfortable with great indoor and outdoor spaces. You can walk over the marsh and the canal, kayak right out of the backyard at high tide, and relax on 2 porches with comfy couches. The house is stocked with necessities and extras, and we had a great stay. Thanks for sharing your home!

We’re glad our home had everything you needed and that your visit was such a great experience. Thank you for taking such good care of the house, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Happy I chose this home! It was clean, inviting, and beautifully decorated. We really enjoyed relaxing and eating on the porch. Teens could easily walk to the beach. They also liked playing cornhole. Home had everything we needed.

The home was welcoming, clean, and such a great location. Close to the beach and lovely views of the marsh behind the house. Since it was early December when we visited it was chilly but Sunny a few of the days and we hunkered down on the rainy day. There are plenty of staples, dishes, cookware, etc for making meals. I would love to come visit again in early summer or fall.

We are North Carolina natives who absolutely love spending time at the beach. We love hosting so that we can share an amazing beach experience with our guests!

Why they chose this property

We love where the house is located due to the amazing proximity to the beach, the relaxed feel of the street, and the one of a kind views of the tidal marsh from the back porch. The sunsets are mind blowing!

What makes this property unique

There are very few properties that give the jaw dropping views from the back deck and being able to enjoy all of the native coastal wildlife just feet away,
