About this property

Quiet, Tranquil Retreat For Two, a 5-minute Walk to the Ocean

The August 2016 issue of Southern Living has a nice write-up about life here on Oak Island.
http://www.southernliving.com/travel/oak-island-north-carolina

An exclusive private and tranquil waterway cottage so close to the beach you can hear the waves breaking along the shoreline. This 1 bedroom, 1 bath Craftsman-style guest house is on a unique 5-acre marsh front property with a private pier to a deck and kayak dock. The unrivaled views of the coastal wetlands along Montgomery Slough, plentiful wildlife and remarkable sunsets will leave you wanting to come back year after year.

This vacation get-away is unlike any other on Oak Island. Among the many features of the open floor plan are a fully-stocked gourmet kitchen w/ stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, central A/C, cable TV, a 51" flat screen HDTV, and wireless internet. Full-size stacked washer/dryer, H/C outdoor shower with changing area, covered entry, carport for 1 car, ground-level storage and patio w/gas grill. Linens, towels and departure cleaning provided. Kayaks, bicycles and beach chairs are included for your pleasure.

A wonderful couple's retreat and a perfect setting for birders and wildlife enthusiasts. It's just a five-minute walk to the beach to enjoy a day in the sun. Relax on the private deck overlooking the wetlands and take in some bird watching - more than 200 species of birds inhabit the island each summer. Take a peaceful kayak paddle off our dock or a bike ride around the island. Treat yourself to a round of golf at the Oak Island Country Club. It's a short walk to Ocean Crest Pier or to Island Way Restaurant for oceanfront dining. Drive to nearby Southport and ride the ferry to Bald Head Island or historic Ft. Fisher. Wilmington is less than an hour's drive away.

At least one day, take the time to go to the beach to watch the sun set in the West before you come back to the guest house to relax and plan your tomorrow. Step outside and find a constellation or two or three.

Wonderful Experience
The guest house and the location were both absolutely amazing. The guest house was spotless and fully equipped with anything you could possibly need. The view from the large inside windows and outside deck was incredible. We really enjoyed watching and listening to all the birds. Gerry was a great host, and the level of communication was perfect. We would love to stay again another time.

Perfect weekend!
We were here off season for a workshop and it was absolutely perfect. Perfect for a couple. Everything is updated and beautiful. The deck overlooks the marsh so it was wonderful to sit, have a glass of wine and watch the birds in the evening. Property manager was great- easy to work with and we had one tiny issue and he was over to address it right away. We would 100% stay here again and we highly recommend!

Exactly as advertised
Gerry is a wonderful host! His guest house is beautiful, my girlfriend and I had a wonderful week in Oak Island. The beach, the pier and the excellent Island Way restaurant are well within a 5 minute walk. He greeted us briefly on our arrival and is very friendly, the wine and chocolates we found inside were enjoyable. And if you have any questions he is very quick to help. Overall we would definitely stay here again without hesitation! Thank you again Gerry for a wonderful week!

Great Stay
This place was awesome. The location was great; the proximity to the beach was an added bonus. We really enjoyed the views and morning coffee on the deck. Would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Gerry

Host profile image
This will be my fourth year as owner of a wonderful guest house on Oak Island, North Carolina. Growing up near the ocean with the sounds of the sea birds, the roar of the waves crashing on the beaches, and the clear night sky filled with so many stars, I consider myself fortunate to be able to enjoy them all again.

Why they chose this property

If you long for the ocean that was once a part of your life as it has been for us, I invite you to Oak Island, a world away from the noise and rush of the "city-life" and to take this opportunity to re-acquaint yourself with the "sounds of the sea".
