About this property

GREAT Location! 5 minute walk to beach!

Welcome to the Sandy Starfish! Beautiful and relaxing family-friendly home in the most convenient location on island - walking to shopping, groceries, restaurants, and parks. You'll love the easy 2 block walk to beach access!

Beach essentials, Shibumi, beach toys, wagon, beach chairs, books, and board games ready for guests. Great backyard for a game of cornhole or enjoying a coffee on the open-air or screened in porch. One block from Middleton community park, playground, splash pad, basketball courts, and tennis/pickleball courts.

***Please note — Couch and loveseat are being replaced with a brand new L-Shaped couch in May of 2026, so living room may look slightly different than photos. House interior has been freshly painted in April 2026. Please do not use any tape, adhesive, stickers, etc. on any walls

I was surprised by the roominess of the house. I like that the master bedroom is away from the other rooms in the house for a little extra space from the kids. It's also very convenient to the beach, grocery store, shops, and restaurants. Would recommend and definitely would stay here again!

Great Time

We had a great time. Weather was great. We had one evening of rain. Days were sunny and hot but the ocean breezes were wonderful. The property couldn't have been better. Hope to visit again in the near future.

Clean, comfortable and convenient

Outstanding, very well maintained. Negatives, doors squeak and master bath door does not lock. Major problem, man an wife across street, several times daily bring dogs over to do business in bushes right next to screened in porch!

Our stay at this gorgeous Oak Island, NC, beach home was phenomenal. The owners were exceptional, offering prompt, friendly communication from booking to departure, making the process seamless. The home’s prime location, a short walk from the beach, gave us easy access to sun, surf, and local spots. It’s perfectly situated to enjoy Oak Island’s charm, with restaurants and shops nearby.The house itself is a masterpiece—spotless, stylish, and welcoming. Its coastal decor and bright, airy spaces felt like a true home. The kitchen was fully equipped for family meals, and the cozy living areas were ideal for relaxing. Amenities were top-notch: high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, plush bedding, and an expansive screened porch with overhead fans were perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks listening to the ocean. Beach chairs, towels, and shibumi were thoughtful touches that enhanced our stay.Every detail, from the comfortable furniture to the pristine condition, showed care and quality. Our family made unforgettable memories, from beach days to game nights. This was one of our best vacation rentals ever, blending luxury and convenience. We’re already planning to return and highly recommend this gem to anyone seeking a perfect Oak Island getaway. Thank you to the owners for sharing this slice of paradise! We will be back SOON!
