About this property

Oak Islands. Donovan's Reef

Beautifully remodeled house located just a few short steps away from beach access. You can hear the Ocean from this house. Gorgeous ocean views from the front deck. Spacious back yard. House has HDTV, WiFi Internet, Washer and Dryer and full kitchen.

Ocean crest pier is a short walk away. Fine dining at the Island Way restaurant is also a short walk away.

Oak Island is a beach town in North Carolina. It’s separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway. The Atlantic coast is lined with beaches, and fishermen gather at the long Ocean Crest Pier. The Oak Island Nature Center has trails, plus displays on fossils and native animals. To the east, Oak Island Lighthouse has sweeping views over Caswell Beach and Bald Head Island.

The Town also has a municipal golf course and eight parks, ranging from a fishing T at the west end of the island to a large park on the mainland complete with baseball and football fields. There is a skate park, a dog park, a cabana on the oceanfront with an observation deck and plenty of places to find a quiet spot to relax and enjoy the view. Area businesses, like piers and marinas, restaurants and ice cream shops, also help make vacationers feel welcome while catering to full-time residents. Gas card with every reservation of 2 or more days!

Great Beach House Experience!
Beautiful house! This place is awesome! Each room was so spacious and has that perfect beach vibe! We had everything we needed and just a quick walk to the beach, it was the perfect place for us! Thank you!! It's so peaceful and everything you need is there or less than 5 min away! Holly was very kind and quick to respond to any questions we had, since we were driving in from Charlotte. Thank you so much!

Ocean pleasure
The house is exactly what you see in the advertisement it is clean and close to all things related to the beach and surrounding areas. This was my first Vrbo experience and it could not have been more perfect, Holly was very responsive to my inquiries and flexible to my schedule. I will definitely be coming back!!

by the beach
We really enjoyed our stay. The access to the beach was great, especially for me. I am late 70's and sometimes walking far is hard since my knees arent what they used to be. Close to driving around Oak Island. Will definitely look for this house again and rent it. Thanks again.

Easy Beach Stay
Nicely decorated and well equipped cottage. Enjoyed lounging on the covered porch. The beach was just steps away and was easy to access at all times of day and tides.
