Location: Oak Island, Southern Coast, Coastal, North Carolina, USA (Oak Island is about 30 miles from Wilmington, NC) View Map
Accommodations: Oceanview Beach House, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
Come stay at the Gollywobbler, our family-friendly Oak Island beach house. Our house is a block and a half from the beach and has fantastic ocean views due to its street-corner location. We have three decks that face the ocean, two of them up high on the second floor - maybe you'll even see a gollywobbler! Our covered back deck looks out over a beautiful tidal marsh.
The main floor has a full kitchen with a table for eight. We like to cook so you will find all the tools you need including a large pot for crab or shrimp boils! The living room has new hardwood floors and plenty of books and board games for your family. Both the kitchen and living room have plenty of windows and adjoin a large deck. A covered deck just off the kitchen is a great place to enjoy your coffee or a meal.
There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the main floor. One room has a new queen bed and the other has two singles. The main-floor bathroom was remodeled in 2007 and now has a tiled floor and tiled tub and shower.
Upstairs, both of the two bedrooms have queen beds. Each upstairs room has a private deck with an ocean view. The upstairs bathroom has a shower.
We keep a lot of beach toys which you are welcome to use. Try our surfboard at the beach, or paddle our canoe around the marsh if you like.

Why the Owner Chose Oak Island
Oak Island is a quiet, family-friendly beach town. Since the beach faces South, we get a nice sunset every evening. There are no high rises to obscure the view!
The Unique Benefits at this Oceanview Beach House
We love to visit the beach. Since our house is so close to the marsh, we get to see plenty of dolphins, egrets and crabs too.
For about five bucks a carload, ride across the mouth of the Cape Fear River to Fort Fisher Park and the NC Aquarium. Get a good look at Bald Head Island on the crossing.
This is a great place for a picnic. Fun ferry ride from Southport.
Small park with butterfly garden and a dock. Good destination for a bike ride.
Great 18-hole golf course right on the island! Numerous other golf courses in the area.
Great place to explore the beach, especially at low tide. Kids love this area. Great biking destination - not that far from the Gollywobbler.
tennis courts, playground, and even a skateboard park! Great for the kids.
Although there are several convenience stores near the Gollywobbler, this is the closest major grocery store. There are also lots of shops, restaurants, and cafes in this area. Very short drive from t
It's just a few blocks away! Milk, bread, beverages, sunblock - get all your basics here and be back on the beach in no time.
This is the closest fish market to the Gollywobbler. We always get great, very fresh, fish here. Go early to get the best selection. Haag & Sons Seafood 7901 E Oak Island Drive Oak Island, NC 2
