Welcome to American Dream, a charming coastal retreat that blends cozy cottage character with spacious comfort and unbeatable oceanfront views. Located in the heart of Yaupon Beach, this is one of only a few waterfront homes in the area featuring two levels of oceanfront porches, giving you front-row seats to breathtaking sunsets and endless coastal scenery.
Inside, the home offers plenty of room for everyone to gather and relax. The open living space features a large family room perfect for movie nights or relaxing after a day on the beach. The dining area includes a large table that seats eight, while the six-foot kitchen island provides additional seating for three, making it easy to enjoy meals together.

Sleeping Arrangements This home comfortably accommodates families or groups with three spacious bedrooms: • Downstairs: One bedroom with a queen bed and a bunk bed • Upstairs: Two bedrooms with a king bed, queen bed, and twin bed
The layout offers privacy while still keeping everyone close together for a relaxed beach getaway.
Outdoor Living Step outside and experience the best part of this property—two levels of oceanfront decks. Each deck features comfortable captain’s chairs, perfect for: • Morning coffee with ocean views • Afternoon relaxation with sea breezes • Stunning sunset views over the water
The upper deck, accessible from both upstairs bedrooms, is an especially magical spot in the evening as flocks of pelicans—sometimes 40 at a time—fly by on their return home at sunset.
Entertainment & Amenities The home is equipped for both fun and relaxation: • Four wall-mounted flat-screen TVs with cable • DVD players in every room • A collection of DVDs for cozy movie nights • Wi-Fi internet access • Under-cabinet CD player/radio in the kitchen
Whether you're enjoying popcorn and a movie or playing music while cooking dinner, the home has everything you need for entertainment.
Beach-Friendly Features Renters' closet with beach chairs, umbrellas/tents, boogie boards, and beach toys for the kids. After a day in the sand and surf, rinse off easily with the outdoor shower and changing area, plus a convenient foot wand to keep the sand where it belongs—outside.
Relax on the deck, watch pelicans glide across the sunset, and enjoy the comfort of a true oceanfront getaway.

the house was as described, very clean had about everything you could ever need. from kitchen stuff to beach stuff.has very nice outdoor shower, you only need spices to cook with.the only thing that is needed are curtains for the side (front) door and for windows that face the beach by the tv. my wife said that the book selection was great. there were local and close ( within walking distance) places to eat and drink which all were very good. we would return to this house if coming back to oak island..
Loved the porches. Wish there were another air conditioner upstates. Both bedrooms up there do run hot and the AC in the one bedroom was necessary!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
My opinion/experience: The view from the 2nd balcony is incomparable. The beds were comfortable; kitchen was well-appointed. Location can't be beat, steps from Ruby's Coffee and Kokocabana on the waterfront. The bad: asked if there were streaming services available. Was told no streaming, no Internet, no smart TV. Wrong on all 3. Was given 2 wifi passwords, neither of which worked at first. Bath ceiling mottled with gray mold, ugh. Shower head caked with pink mold. Shower curtain had a foot of pink mold on the bottom. Not cleaned for weeks. Same with the kitchen sink sprayer. I cleaned them, as well as the mildewed outdoor furniture. No icemaker, so one would expect ice cube trays. Nope. Refrigerator shelves were gross around the edges. Multiple burned out light bulbs; clock had a dead battery. Bedroom and living room fans did not work. Saw 3 palmetto bugs in the kitchen; something else was biting our feet at night. A pest inspector (whom the mgmt. company insisted had to come for 2 hours on my husband's birthday) didn't find anything. Next day, a young man showed up unannounced, didn't wait for us to answer the knock and just came in. Then I got an email asking for 100 for an optional late checkout (?!) I registered a complaint about all of the issues and the response was (paraphrasing) "we understand but you didn't report it all" - not true. They finally offered a small partial refund. Not acceptable. At a loss to understand the "perfect 10" reviews. Maybe not real.
The beach house was perfect and well equipped with everything we needed. It was the perfect location for our week at the beach in Oak Island.
