This unique beach cottage on Oak Island offers a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean from every room! You will notice there are no neighbors or structures between you and your private ocean backyard for 180 degrees! From the wrap-around porch, you can see nearby Bald Head Island, plus the Oak Island Lighthouse and Oak Island Pier - all at one breathtaking glance.

This peaceful location is perfect for a vacation. Cyclists can enjoy an invigorating ride on the beach. Runners will like the ideal compacted sand. You can swim, ride waves, or simply sun-bathe. Do yoga on the porch, inhaling the intoxicating ocean breeze. Fix your favorite foods in the kitchen with its spectacular view!

The house provides access to several diverting attractions. Walk to Caswell Beach, a natural turtle sanctuary with more than 55 turtle nests. Enjoy the island's many friendly restaurants. Bike to a lighthouse you can climb. Drive to the charming seaside village of Southport. Take the ferry to Bald Head Island or Fort Fisher and the Aquarium. Shop in Wilmington or nearby Myrtle Beach.

For the most amazing location, there’s a restaurant right at our pier called Koco Kabana. It’s Oceanview and very good food. For Thai food we recommend Thai By The Sea-take out only. It’s just a few blocks away from the house. For great Italian food we recommend several restaurants but probably Joseph’s the most. It’s on the intercoastal right by the boat docks. For a great clean grass fed steak we recommend Traquil Harbor-they delivered our dinner to our door yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. It’s across the street from the Food Lion and not fancy but great vegetables and food. Duffers is at the Oak Island Country Club, is delicious and only 2 minutes away. We would also highly recommend you going to Southport for several amazing restaurants there that are very “hole in the wall” but totally classic. That would include Fishy Fishy, Provisions, Mr. P. and Oliver’s. This is for the local seafood. And, plan on walking around the older parts of Southport because it is really charming. Many older homes have survived all the hurricanes for some amazing reason. And it’s romantic.

Best of all, enjoy some healing relaxation in this glorious natural setting. Make this special ocean-side cottage your vacation choice today! This house if for peaceful beach lovers.
This is not a party house. Do not invite any guests over without our written permission.

Bright and beachy decor, carpet throughout, 1 ceiling fan, books, puzzles. centrally located close to bridge and restaurants. L shaped oceanfront deck, O/S w/H&C under house.

Small beach cottage in ideal location

Location is as advertised, steps to the beach with panoramic views of the water from the deck and from the living room and master bedroom. The house is small and wouldn't work well for a larger group but for a single family it was great.

Awesome location

Our family of four had a great time at the cottage - couldn't ask for a better location, steps from the beach - and the view from the deck is simply amazing, wonderful for morning coffee and for happy hour. The beach is wide open and perfect for all ages - great for morning walks with the dog, playing in the surf and sunbathing late into the afternoon. Fishing was easy from the beach and the pier, and loved the outdoor shower! Sitting on the porch for dinner at nearby restaurant Koko Cabana was so good, we went back twice - and we also loved going to Provisions in Southport for excellent seafood by the water. The Friday night free concert i. town was also a lot of fun, and don't miss sunset on the west tip of the island - gorgeous. We also rented a pontoon boat on the intracoastal which made for a great day trip. Beatrice was so helpful with recommendations - our only regret was we missed the turtles hatching - but we will be back!

Atlantic Blue is the perfect location for a relaxing vacation!

Atlantic Blue was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. It was very clean, charming and the location was fantastic! We really appreciate the fact that we were able to enjoy nature at it's finest...the beach, ocean and wildlife. My 10yr old son couldn't get enough of skim boarding, fishing, crabbing & swimming in the ocean. My 2yr old autistic son found a new love of the ocean. It was very relaxing & calming for him, which is a huge therapeutic plus in this momma's book! My elderly mother, who was recovering from a recent hospitalization was able to enjoy the beach & ocean from the deck of the cottage and the amazing picture window in the living room. There is just something magical & healing about the beach & ocean that cannot be described. Beatrice was an absolute pleasure to work with and she was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of sea turtle care & conservation (to name a few). Being able to witness baby Sea Turtles hatch and make their way to the ocean has been on my bucket list as far back as I can remember. I was able to sit and observe a nest for 3 hrs before a storm came through. Even though I didn't get to witness this first hand on this stay, (you can't control nature) I gained a wealth of knowledge to prepare me for next season! We highly recommend Atlantic Blue for a relaxing vacation experience.

Excellent location and beautiful beach

The location of this house is outstanding. The beach is beautiful with generally calm water for the NC coast, a wide beach, and is not overcrowded. The house is right next to the access point for the beach, which has a small parking area for others to access the beach. Despite this, the beach was never crowded. The owner was very responsive and helpful. She was very interested in ensuring we had a great time and offered suggestions for seeing the sea turtles. The house itself is older, but clean and generally well maintained. The appliances in the kitchen need to be updated, and I discussed this with the owner. The dishwasher does not clean the dishes, only two burners work on the stove, and the toaster doesn't work. Since we cooked all of our meals in the house, this was a bit annoying. The owner told me she was going to look into getting all of this fixed. Other than the kitchen, this is a 5 star rental with a great location and very helpful owner.

Two weeks flew by!

Have to say I we agree with all the other reviews we read....location, location, location is what this place is all about. Practically on the beach literally. Stayed two weeks, loved the place. Definitely cozy due to size as advertised, but added to the charm as well. Amazing amount of cool sights, especially all the turtle nests, I think about 5 or 6 within 500 yards of the property. Great walk to the pier as well and had a great date night while enjoying KoKo Cabana the second Thursday. Treat to walk to and from dinner for sure. Also, have to say the property allows dogs (one of the main reasons we chose this property) but you would never know that was the case. We made sure our pups kept it that way also. Such a treat, we hope to make it back next year for sure. We also ferried over to Bald Head Island one day with our bikes and had an adventure, really a fun excursion as well. Enjoyed the time immensely! Sincerely, Steve and Jimmie Armstrong

Absolutely amazing views!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The house is located right at the beach. My granddaughter who is almost 2 easily walked with us. We sat in the porch every morning sipping coffee and watching the waves. We cooked two dinners while we were there and we had everything we needed. Our Labrador loved swimming. We will be back!!

late winter at the beach

the house has wide views and no houses next door. In very chilly breezes, the decks on two sides mean that one can still sit in a protected sunny spot and look at the wide expanse of beach and ocean. lots of birds and a wonderful supply of cookware.

Perfect Location, Spotless, and Updated

This is by far the best place we have ever stayed as a family. We have been coming back for several years now and there is always updates being made. This year we saw a unique sand dollar table. All of the sand dollars were found right at the beach-footsteps away. What a great addition to the cottage. As always, we love coming to a place that is so clean. This year, one of our favorite memories was the dolphin sighting. After your stay, you will want to book your next trip back.

EVERY ROOMS HAS A VIEW!

We had a WONDERFUL week at Atlantic Blue. EVERY room has a view of the ocean which was truly priceless. My husband and I had to work every day but the the large windows with ocean views made us feel like we were ON the beach, even when we were not. The close proximity to the beach access was a real game changer because we could run back and forth to the house if we forgot something. I worried the public access would mean lots of people and traffic but the house was very quiet. And there is not a lot of foot or car traffic. The kitchen had all the pot, bowls, utensils, etc we needed. Plus the view. Did I mention the view? We plan to make Atlantic Blue our family's new vacation home each summer!

Location! Location! Location!

What a treat! This location is so amazing! We booked last minute as our family reunion was postponed this summer. Talk about a winning plan b!! The home sits right on the beach! You can see in the photos that even when you are inside - you still know you're at the beach. Such easy access that I almost felt guilty watching everyone else lug their supplies back and forth with such effort. And it seems little, but having a hose right there to clean up before going back inside was a major bonus for the whole family (which includes our dog who thoroughly enjoyed her first trip to the ocean). The owners are kind and very responsive. We had a lovely time. Thank you for sharing this gem with us!

Perfect beach vacation

The house was perfect for us! The pictures don't do the house and the location justice, it was better than described. The house is updated with beautiful colors and great (and comfortable) furniture. It was the perfect romantic getaway, and we still had room for the adult kids to pop in for a couple of days. The deck overlooking the ocean is our new "happy place" and we can't wait to come back for another visit! Oak Island and the surrounding areas are a real treasure on the NC coast; great people, great food, beautiful beaches, and all of the peace and relaxation that a soul needs! Many thanks to our wonderful hosts!

Fantastic week at the beach

My wife and I and our three young children just had the best beach vacation at this vacation home. First of all, Beatrice and Randy our so pleasant and accommodating and went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience. The location is unbelievable and I have never stayed in a house closer to the beach. The house itself was clean, well maintained, and nicely decorated. If we weren’t on the beach, which is steps away, then we were on the wrap around porch that had just enough shade and sun to get the best of both worlds. Not sure if it was the time of year or location of the beach but we could not get over how warm the water was. This was my twin daughters first ocean experience and we could not keep them out of it! Thanks again to Beatrice and Randy for sharing their home with us and for all the good restaurant recommendations. Would highly recommend this house for a family or just a couple who wants to get away for some rest and relaxation.

A Wonderful Respite!

This cozy house has everything from warm lights to fresh flowers. But the view of the ocean from so many different windows is what takes your breath away. We saw sunrises over the ocean and sunsets. The colors in the sunsets were amazing! The front deck is perfect for relaxing and reflecting and praying. I couldn't help but worship as we walked down the beach or took a quick swim. We came in November and still went swimming. It was cold, but super fun. I love the way the living room and kitchen are arranged. The ocean is the main draw to the eye. We had coffee at the little yellow table every day. I want to say a special thanks to the owners who let us stay here! It was just what we needed.

Great place to stay

We spent a very pleasant four days in this house on the beach at Oak Island. It has everything you need, great beds, a well equipped kitchen, a nicely decorated and comfortable living area, and a responsive owner. . It is just one dune away from one of the nicest beaches in NC. There is a good restaurant (KoKo Canbana) an easy walk away and a first class Italian Grill (Josephs) just a few miles away. We enjoyed watching the deer and waves from the front porch. In short we highly recommend this terrific beach house and hope to come back soon.

We loved this beach house. It has a large window in the living room where you can see the ocean from the living room and kitchen constantly. Also great ocean viewing in the bedroom windows. The home is clean and comfortable. There is a nice restaurant in walking distance. We got to see sea turtles released to the ocean while on our visit and knew about the nests information from the owners. They gave lots of detailed information on how to see them.

Beachfront Dreams

This charming home was the perfect place for our family vacation! The views are simply breathtaking and the home was equipped with everything we needed to feel right at home. We saw dolphins, sea turtle eggs that had just hatched, a double rainbow, and green tree frogs.....perfect for nature lovers! You can walk to the pier, visit the lighthouse on Caswell beach, or spend the day at Southport, a quaint beach town. I highly recommend waking up to the ocean view from the master bedroom! Thank you Beatrice for sharing your wonderful home.....it's a truly magical place! We're already looking forward to a return visit!

About the host

Hosted by Beatrice H

We are beach lovers-and my friends call me the Sweet Queen of the Turtle Kingdom because we have seen three 300 pound loggerhead turtles lay their nests walking distance from the cottage! We help our interested guests know when turtle nests hatch, etc. My husband and I love walking the beach at sunset, and our family and friends enjoy visiting us on the large deck!

Why they chose this property

We wanted a cottage by the sea. This one has no neighbors between us and the ocean and no close neighbors on either side. We love the open, panoramic view that can be seen from all the rooms in the house. The L-shaped deck allows us to choose a spot with the perfect breeze and temperature all year round. We searched for over 10 years to find this dream location and charming cottage. Our neighbor two houses away was featured on HGTV on Island Life. All our guests notice that we have a "back to nature" feeling, but are really close to absolutely anything you might need on a vacation.

What makes this property unique

The options with this cottage are endless. If you want to just relax, many of our guests enjoy the deck all day long. If you want adventure, you can rent bikes, kayaks, paddle boards (phone number on fridge) or even jump out of plane. You can take airplane and helicopter tours, explore charming South Port, shop in Myrtle Beach or take the Ferry to many locations, including Bald Head Island. There are many fabulous restaurants, and you can even find an art class just a few blocks away!
Be sure to provide us a phone number we can reach during your vacation.

Be sure to have sent us a copy of your driver's license. You may scan and email, send in portal or text a photo to either of the cell phones once you have paid.
