About this property

Ocean front cottage


What a view! Take in the ocean views from the sunroom, living room, kitchen, and primary bedrooms. Enjoy the ocean breeze on the spacious deck, rocking in a rocking chair or soaking up the sun on a lounger. There are plenty of toys to make your beach visit easy breezy including boogie boards, beach cart, cooler, beach towels and chairs. Inside there’s an air hockey table, 75” flatscreen TV with a guest Netflix account, Wi-Fi, and plenty of seating to spread out. Comfortable seating for dining or working from the banquet dining table in the sunroom comes with an awesome view of the beach. Lil Salty is a charming and comfortable cottage for most guests and although our bathrooms are on the smaller side, both showers have a detachable shower head wand to make it more comfortable.
Nearby, for your convenience is a King’s Beachware, Publix grocery store, and convenient restaurants including, Pepperoni Grill for pizza, pasta, and salads. Checkout Kai Joe’s taco stand, or for a cold sweet treat there’s Dole Whips at the park!
Oak Island has a lot of amenities including putt-putt, a skateboard park, kids playground, movies and music in the park (seasonal), and so many delicious restaurants. My favorite is Shagger Jacks - their fried chicken sandwich and skinny fries with comeback sauce is a winner!
The beaches at Oak Island are family friendly and welcoming to all! We only ask that you stay off the dunes and do not disturb the sea turtles in nesting season.
Lil Salty loves all people and animals, but asks that you keep your four legged friends at home.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hi! I bought this sweet little cottage in 2021 after it went unloved for far too long and gave it a new life with fresh paint, new carpet, furniture, appliances, and some handmade decor. My best friends helped me along the way and it makes me happy to share Lil Salty with you and your besties for your next beach vacation. I’m a North Carolina native and grew up visiting this area when I was in high school and college. I love Oak Island for the community feel that other beach towns lack. No matter the time of year you visit, there’r always restaurants to visit, shops to explore, and of course, the beach to refresh your spirit.

Why they chose this property

Lil Salty is all about comfort and charm. There is a lot of space in this 1,000 sqft., one-story home. It’s modestly decorated, thoughtfully appointed, and ready for you to arrive and relax. Your bed will be made with complimentary linens, the house will be stocked with starter toiletries and kitchen essentials, beach gear is available below deck, games, books, and puzzles for rainy days, and comfortable seating for a movie night in front of the 75” flat screen TV - including a guest Netflix account! Kids of all ages enjoy a couple of rounds of air hockey in the sunroom, or quietly reading on the futon. I personally enjoy working from the dining table with views of the ocean beyond my laptop screen. Or, escape the indoors and listen to the waves crash and watch the pelicans dive from the beach front deck while rocking in a rocking chair or catching a nap on the loungers. Lil Salty is conveniently located to restaurants, grocery stores, shops, and public parks like Middleton Park and Davis Canal.

We also have merch! Lil Salty sweatshirts are available for purchase. Message me for details.
