About this property

Practically Perfect on West Beach - Just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean

Super Cute, good vibes, and very clean! Practically Perfect is literally 200 steps to the ocean! Great location on West Beach of Oak Island!

**Snow Birds welcomed between November - April every year! PLEASE ASK ABOUT MONTHLY RENTALS! Oak Island is unique in the fact that our beach faces directly South, and in winter months the Sun sets in the OCEAN! Our sunsets are absolutely breathtaking!**

Welcome to **Practically Perfect**, a charming and impeccably maintained beach house on Oak Island’s coveted West Beach. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom piling home comfortably sleeps 8 guests and offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and modern comfort.

Step inside to an open-concept living area with vaulted ceilings, where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow seamlessly—perfect for gatherings. Thoughtfully decorated with priceless vintage pieces, this home exudes a timeless and inviting vibe that makes every stay feel special.

Enjoy breathtaking views from TWO spacious porches—the front porch has views of the Atlantic Ocean, while the back porch offers Davis Canal views(a great shady retreat in the summer). The primary suite features a king bed, private bath, and access to the back porch, while the second guest room has a queen bed with porch access, and the third guest room offers two double beds—ideal for families or friends traveling together.

Located less than 200 steps from the beach, this home is in an amazing West Beach location with easy access to the shoreline. Fully stocked with kitchen essentials, bed and bath linens, a washer & dryer, cozy seating, and beach toys, everything you need for a relaxing getaway is at your fingertips.

Whether you're sipping coffee with a little ocean view, unwinding on the back porch, or making new memories by the shore, **Practically Perfect** is truly a magical retreat. Book your stay today and experience the best of Oak Island!

Great Property!

We loved our stay here. Perfect location to the beach and a very “homey” feel to the property. The kitchen was stocked with more than enough supplies which is rare at most rentals. Highly recommend for anyone staying on the island!

A great place

Excellent rental. This place has everything one could ask for in a beach rental. Location was great. It was clean. You really only need to show up here as they really have thought of everything you may need. We loved it and cannot wait to return next year.

Love this place!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this lovely home. The home had everything we needed. It was beautiful inside and out. Clean, organized, with a very comfortable feel. Especially loved the porch furniture and enjoying the ocean air on the porch. Hope to be back soon!

Ms Stephanie was an amazing host. She left a heartfelt and written notes with a lot of snacks, local events, local restaurants and a list of things to do. Throughout our stay she checked in with us via email to make sure we were enjoying our stay. And at the last minute she was able to accommodate us to extend our checkout. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you for the amazing hospitality. Natalie

Wonderful stay

The house was very clean, exactly as advertised, and plenty spacious for our family of 3. There is a wonderful carport to keep your beach items and car under. Outdoor shower and hoses were a big plus. Small Ocean view from the front porch and you can hear it as well. Short walk to the beach and the access does not have steps. Plenty of kitchen items to use for cooking. Just bring your own foil, spray, spices, etc. Only downside was the living room being too warm to actually sit in at night. We pulled all the blinds closed but it was still very warm. Host was very good to work with. Overall, I would recommend this home.
