Beautiful Canal Home- New Special Rates for Fall and Winter
Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Ocean Isle Beach
After having a great vacation on Ocean Isle Beach 3 years ago, my wife and I made it back every year. In Ocean Isle Beach we found a place to renew ourselves with peaceful beaches and exciting activities. It became a focal point for our retirement planning. We looked at many properties on each visit back and this year our dream came true and we purchased "The Happy Pelican", our future retirement home. We are happy to share our property with you in hopes you will become as enchanted with OIB island life as we did.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The best features of the Happy Pelican is its proximity to the beach, the private deep water dock for boating and swimming, and the house's spacious floor plan. Large windows in the living area provide waterfront views and the upper bedroom balconies allow for a view of the ocean at the end of the street. Raeford Street, on which the house is located, is a direct access street with a short, handicap accessable boardwalk leading over protective sand dunes to a wide section of pristine beach. The house's location on the canal system puts the dock within a 2 minute sail to the Intercostal Water Way, and 7-10 minutes cruise to the inlet and the Atlantic's open water. The Happy Pelican is perfectly situated for beach, boating, fishing, golfing, flying, and and site seeing. Truely the best all around vacation locations you could ask for.
A must visit on your stay in OIB. Lots of great information about the shore and the wildlife that lives there. Great fun for adults and children alike.

Owner's Map of Ocean Isle Beach
I grew up in a small NJ beach community in a house on the Shrewbury River and remember fondly the activities associated with costal living. My wife lived in California near the coast and also had a fondness for shore life. We found Ocean Isle Beach and knew it was where we wanted to be.
