About this property

Luxury Oceanfront Cottage | Fire Pit | Bocce | Horseshoes and yard games

Do you remember the beach vacations of your childhood? The ones where the days were long, the screen doors slammed, the card games went late, and nobody wanted to leave?That’s exactly what Serene Cottage was made for.



Serene Cottage wasn’t just renovated — it was reimagined. Every finish, every fixture,

every piece of furniture was hand-selected with one vision in mind: a beach cottage that

feels like a luxury boutique retreat without ever losing its soul. No corners were cut. No

detail was an afterthought.



The Outdoor Life

Step outside and the Atlantic is right there — no buffer, no distance, just you and the

ocean. A brand-new deck with wire railings frames a completely unobstructed,

panoramic view of the water. Stay all day with your choice of shade or sun — settle into

one of the rocking chairs or the rocker swing on the covered porch, or stretch out on the

open deck in one of the two loungers. Either way, let the ocean do the rest.

The beachfront yard is set up like a family reunion waiting to happen — bocce ball,

horseshoe ring, cornhole, ping pong, and darts on the lower covered deck. As the sun

goes down, gather around the propane fire pit with Adirondack chairs and let the night

carry on. There’s a spot for every personality, and enough going on that nobody will be

checking their phone.

The beach day is taken care of too. A storage shed stocked with 8 beach chairs, a

Shibumi shade, a beach wagon, and beach toys for the little ones. Hot and cold outdoor

shower. Beach towels provided. From the moment you arrive, all you have to do is show

up.



The Space

Crisp white walls, original heart pine floors, soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed

beams, and breathtaking ocean views from virtually every room. Nothing has been

overlooked. Everything has been chosen with intention. Brand-new furnishings mixed

with refinished antiques — warm, welcoming, and impeccably appointed. A selection of

indoor games and books means the fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down.



The Kitchen

Serene Cottage’s gourmet kitchen features stunning Forno Café white-and-gold

appliances, professional-grade knives, quality cookware, and even spices and oils

stocked and waiting. A dedicated Keurig coffee station (pods provided) and wine station

mean the first cup of the morning and the last glass of the evening are both taken care

of. And yes — even the dishwasher pods are stocked. Every last detail has been thought

of so you can simply arrive and enjoy.



The Bedrooms& Bathrooms

Sleep deeply, wake up to the ocean.

• Primary Queen Suite — Queen bed, private ensuite with luxury tile shower

• Second Queen Suite — Queen bed, private ensuite with luxury tile shower

• Third Queen Room — Queen bed, access to the beautifully renovated shared

bathroom

• Bunk Room — Two Twin XL beds, shared bathroom — perfect for the kids or a

crew of friends

Every bedroom has luxury foam mattresses, linen comforters, and quality bedding. The

kids’ room features a Samsung Frame TV — displaying stunning art when not in use —

and comes equipped with two controllers for gaming on rainy days or late nights.

All three bathrooms fully renovated with luxury tile showers and premium bath

products provided throughout.



The Little Things

At Serene Cottage, the little things are anything but little. Every amenity has been

carefully selected to elevate your stay — including a fully stocked kitchen and laundry

room so you never have to think twice.

• Keurig pods stocked and ready

• Kitchen fully stocked — dishwasher detergent, dish soap, and all essentials

provided

• Laundry room fully stocked — detergent and dryer sheets provided

• Kitchen stocked with spices, oils, and all the essentials

• Luxury bath products throughout

• Samsung Frame TVs in living room and kids’ room

• Selection of indoor games and books provided

• Beach towels provided



The Feeling

Serene Cottage was built for one thing: bringing people together. Slow down. Play lawn

games until the sun goes down. Sit around the fire. Eat a big dinner with people you

love. Fall asleep to the ocean and do it all over again.



Most beach rentals give you four walls and a view. Serene Cottage gives you an

experience — curated, considered, and unlike anything else on Oak Island.

It’s the beach vacation you remember — only better.



Come for the ocean. Stay for each other.

This property truly had it all. It was ocean front with a wonderful view from inside the house and the deck. Easy access to the ocean. Plenty of chairs, and other beach items, including lots of towels, beach toys, cooler and shibumi shade! The kids also enjoyed the ping pong table, bocci and darts. Everything was clean and the house itself was freshly updated and beautifully decorated. Kitchen was stocked with everything you need and it was all new (plates, glasses, pots/pans, knives, flatware, etc.)! The only thing we'd wished it had was a full-size coffee maker instead of just the Keurig. We would definitely book again.

Gorgeous beach house

My husband and I spent a weekend at Serene Cottage and it blew us away. The decor was gorgeous classy and had a charming coastal vibe. The owners definitely thought of every detail. The Kuerig coffee maker they provided a ton of K cup pods of many different varieties which I've never seen another rental so this. They provided large soft luxurious beach towels. A Shibumi shade and nice great condition beach chairs were provided for guests to use. They also had a brand new corn hole game, bocce ball, a Yeti backpack cooler for use as well as toys. We had many soft cozy high quality blankets to use for inside the house. Furniture was new and clean/ comfortable. The decor was just stunning. Each shower came with containers of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The bath towels were fluffy soft white towels. The lighting fixtures were modern amd the lights had funky on small fans to keep the rooms cool. We lived the outdoor shower after a day at the beach. Honestly they thought of everything. We highly recommend serene cottage. Easy access to the beach as it sits oceanfront.

Incredible Stay at Serene Cottage

Serene Cottage blew us away. We loved this authentic restored oceanfront cottage and the incredible attention to detail — stunning original heart pine floors, vaulted ceilings, and unobstructed ocean views from nearly every room. The kitchen was fully stocked, beach gear was ready to go, and luxury bath products were provided throughout. We arrived and simply enjoyed. The outdoor space is wonderful too, with yard games, a fire pit, and a gorgeous deck perfect for watching the sunset. If you want a true luxury beach experience on Oak Island, look no further. We’ll definitely be back.
