Once you arrive in the treelined neighborhood - easily accessed by the Middleton bridge on the south end of Oak Island - you will definitely knot be feeling crabby at all! This cozy island home was just lovingly redecorated and refurnished in modern farmhouse style. The sweeping ceiling and openness of the great room are a perfect family gathering spot after a hot day at the beach. The efficient kitchen offers everything you need for cooking meals at home, including a roomy pantry for your groceries. The backyard is ready to welcome your furry friend and make him feel right at home. Enjoy a relaxing indoor-outdoor lifestyle in the screened-in porch in the backyard, where you can hear the birds and enjoy the gentle salt sea breezes of this lovely Oak Island beach rental. The back yard porch is sure to become your favorite room in the house; bring a book to curl up with!

Things To Do:
Oak Island is known for its golden sand beaches, calming blue waters, friendly community, and proximity to the cities of Southport, Wilmington, and Myrtle Beach. There are many cute island coffee shops, stores, breweries, and a park that showcases a splash pad for summer fun! With 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!
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 before 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. There are free parking options 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 riverfront in Southport.
We look forward to your visit!
