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.

Southport - Fort Fisher Ferry

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.

B
Fort Fisher and NC Aquarium

This is a great place for a picnic. Fun ferry ride from Southport.

D
Wilmington Waterfront

Nice shops and fun place to stroll.

    • Our family had a wonderful time at the Gollywobbler. The house is awesome and close enough to the beach to make access easy. Vacationing at Oak Island was more enjoyable than any we've had at Myrtle.

    • Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful place to stay. The house was in a great location and very clean. We enjoyed our trip in May. We didn't catch many fish, but maybe we will try the fall next time. Once again thank you. I would recomend this house to anyone!

    • We had a great time at the Gollywobbler. It was the relaxing vacation we needed. The house had plenty of room for our little ones to run around a little, and they loved their room with the two twin beds. All the other rooms were nice too. The kitchen had everything we needed. We took the canoe out one day into the marsh, but no luck catching any shrimp, so it's not quite as easy as some of the reviews make it seem. The views from the decks were probably our favorite part of the home, and how it was just a couple hundred yards away from the beach. Overall we were happy with just about everything. Potential improvements could be another TV upstairs or a nicer one in the main area, as during a couple of the nights we ended up watching movies as a family. The Oak Island area was very cute. We went to the BBQ place up the street that was great, and also found a nice place called Tropical Treats I think across the street that we went to a few different times for ice cream and coffee drinks. We also went into Southport one day and ate at the Cape Fear Restaurant right on the water which was amazing.

    • We had a wonderful time staying at the Gollywobbler! The house is very nicely furnished with great proximity to the beach. It had everything we could have needed in a vacation rental, and Oak Island lived up to expectations. Thanks so much, Eric!

    • This is a beautiful house with lots of room for family and friends. Located between the Marsh (great for catching bait) and the ocean, it is the perfect location. The kitchen was stocked with anything you would need and the decks provided amazing views. Be sure to notice the beautiful artwork.

    • We had an excellent vacation on Oak Island at the Gollywobbler. The pictures do not do the house justice. It is a beautiful home and very spacious. This vacation was a Christmas gift to my son and step sons. We had not had a chance to all get together in over 10 years. The house and location were perfect. We played on the beach all day and games at the large kitchen table most of the night! The well equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare most of the meals at the house. I took chairs, boggie boards and sand buckets but the house had plenty! I visit Oak Island a lot, have friends there, the Island is a wonderful place for a family vacation. The Gollywobbler is the best deal going on the beach!

    • I do not think we have had a better vacation!!! We, the whole family, absolutely loved the Gollywobbler. Everything was perfect. The ocean and the marsh are the perfect distance. The kids spent so much time at the marsh trying to catch shrimp. It was wonderful to be able to look off the back deck and check on them. They were able to be teenagers and have a little freedom. We have found the perfect house for our future vacations. My husband and I actually want to try and go down during the winter for some fishing.

    • This was our first visit to Oak Island and the Gollywobbler was a great home for enjoying this peaceful beach. It was very roomy and offered a wonderful view of both the beach and the marsh. We especially enjoyed rocking on the large covered porch with the island breezes. The kitchen was well equipped and we felt very comfortable in this home. We also enjoyed the artwork throughout the house and the added special touches provided by the owners. The Wilsons Acworth, GA

    • We absolutely loved the Gollywobbler. I am ready to move to Oak Island. My husband and I have rented houses at the beach before, but this one was by far the best. We have two small children and there were plenty of beach toys for us to use. The location to the beach is great as well - just a block and a half down a side street. The house also felt very homey - not like a barren rental. We will definitely be back to the Gollywobbler.
