Outdoor living is at its best at The Feighery Tail: with a firepit seating area in the front, and a shaded hot tub patio in the fully-fenced back yard, complete with a generous cushioned outdoor living room. Our charming Oak Island cottage is a .7 mile stroll to the beach down a sleepy lane. (Or a three minute drive.) Swim, surf, and sun yourself and then walk to Grocery stores, Barbecue, Ice Cream, and Putt Putt, all close by. If you prefer to fish the marshes or run out to the inlet from the ICW, boats and trailers are no problem and there is ample parking. The public boat ramp is super close! Screened-in porches, a hot water outdoor shower, and a gas grill make this the perfect island vacation house year round.
Our street is a straight walk through to the beach access. Nearby Middleton Park provides food trucks and a cabana with showers/ restrooms. You will have easy access to the splash pad, skate park, and baseball fields if you need a diversion from the sand for a while. And, don’t miss stopping for a Dole Whip from a nearby food truck. Our home is an easy visit to grocery shopping, dining, and bar spots, as well as various ice cream, coffee, and donut options.

Things To Do:
Oak Island is known for its golden sand beaches, calming blue waters, friendly community, and close proximity to the cities of Southport, Wilmington, and Myrtle Beach. There are many cute island coffee shops, stores, breweries, a town park, a beautiful Golf Club open to summer travelers, and over 100 public water access points. There is an abundance of all things adventurous to do on Oak Island!
Surf Fishing doesn’t get much better than Oak Island. From busy public beaches to hidden creeks, from green park areas to grassy flats where you can wade – surf fishing here can be whatever you want it to be. Bring your favorite gear or hit one of the numerous bait and tackle stores to rent some, and you’ll be ready to cast away. For the best of all options, take a local guide from one of our many fishing charters dotted around the island who will cater to your group’s every need.
If you'd like to keep your fitness routine going while on vacation, you can get an out-of-town Gym pass at Oak Island Recreation Center. Utilize the Rec Center's ample parking, put in at the Kayak ramp and spend hours kayaking our beautiful marshes. Sit on the lawn and enjoy a night off cooking at our Weekly Friday night "Summer Concert In The Park" with a couple of local food truck options at this family centric Live Music event. Beach Day takes place in Oak Island on the Friday prior to July 4th and features all day activities followed by fireworks on the island that evening.
Visit Historic Southport, a seafaring town just five miles from our island, for a bigger nightlife. Southport, at the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, features a variety of different restaurants, bars, live music and shopping. It is one of our favorite places to walk around and check out different food and live music on the weekends. Free parking options are all over town, and you can easily walk to dozens of places while enjoying the breeze from the riverfront and admiring historic homes and general store buildings that date back to the early 1800s. Southport's State Fourth of July Festival is a three-day street fair with artists from all over the state, vendors, and food. It is truly like being in an Andy Griffith episode with the parade and grand finale fireworks show over the river front in Southport.
We look forward to your visit!

Thank you, Jennifer! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cozy atmosphere and amenities. Your kind words mean a lot to us. We can't wait to welcome you back for another wonderful visit!
The house was bigger than we thought it would be! Awesome outside area to relax. Kitchen was large, plenty of space for cooking our Thanksgiving meal. We will definitely be back again!

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our vacation rental property. We hope the memories you made here will last a lifetime and that you'll consider coming back for more adventures.
Overall extremely nice place! We had a small problem with the hot tub but they were excellent to communicate with. I reached out and did not get my linen discount as requested, though.

Thank you so much for your kind words—it's wonderful to hear you found our place “extremely nice,” and that our team was responsive and communicative when the hot tub issue arose. We always strive to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay for our guests.
We genuinely appreciate your feedback. It highlights where we can improve, and I'll be sure our team reviews processes to ensure better delivery in the future.
Thanks again for your patience and for choosing to stay with us. We would love to have the opportunity to host you again and provide you with the seamless experience you rightfully expected.
My husband and I had a wonderful long weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The house smelled new and was very clean. The backyard was amazing! There is a great privacy fence for a secluded feeling and a wonderful screened in porch with a swing. The patio chairs down by the hot tub were literally the most comfortable outdoor furniture we have ever sat in and I want to know where the owners found them! The house was minutes from several local restaurants and a short drive to Southport. We had a great time and hope to book again soon!

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your recent stay with us. We are thrilled to hear that you had a pleasant experience and enjoyed the property. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back!
What a lovely home! Much bigger inside than what you see outside. So clean. And the screened porches were great bug free zones. TVs everywhere. The bedrooms felt so roomy and mattresses were comfy. We cooked and rewarmed food in the kitchen. The decor inside & outside was just as expected-unique coastal pieces & design. The countertop ice maker served us well. We sat out by the firepit one evening and enjoyed the water feature sounds from the neighbor. The hot tub was lovely and relaxing. Sitting on the back deck, swinging on the back porch, and rocking in those front rocking chairs was all so chill. The fence was secure for our dog-even when the neighbor dog barked at him for being too close. Plenty of beach stuff in the shed. While we didn’t walk to the beach (drove), we did take a walk to the park on the ICW. Gorgeous views and was calm and quiet there. The bathrooms were roomy & the outdoor shower was nice too. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. We also enjoyed multiple restaurants that I was unaware of being in the area. Seafood, Mexican, American. Yum! And plenty of ice cream places too. Convenient access to grocery stores, splash pad, parking where there’s bathrooms and showers at the beach access. All this in a quiet neighborhood. Place is good for families, pets, singles, couples.
