About this property

~Carolina Tides~ Ocean View, Pier, Pool, Steps to the Beach and Restaurants!

Carolina Tides is a modern, two-bedroom, two-bath beach villa located on Oak Island NC. We have a well-supplied kitchen, cable TV, WiFi, washer / dryer, direct beach access, seasonal swimming pool & hot tub (seasonal, April 15 thru October 15), elevator, free parking and much more. This villa is an end-unit on the quiet side with lots of natural light. Our complex is in the perfect "vacation location", directly across from the Yaupon Beach Fishing Pier, Koko Cabana bar and restaurant, Ruby's coffee shop, and the Lazy Turtle Bar and Grille just a block away. Also, less than a mile to the East is Oak Island Golf Club and their new Duffer's Pub and Grille. Enjoy palm trees and ocean views right from your porch. There is also a shared outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. Oak Island Lighthouse is about a three mile walk along the beach to the East. Just off the island is the beautiful and historic town of Southport, NC.

2) We have a pull-out Queen-sized couch and can sleep up to 6 guests. However, our linen contract only provides for the two bedrooms and 4 guests. If your party has up to 6 guests, you can use the pull-out couch but you will need to bring your own queen sized linens, pillow cases and bath towels for the additional guests above 4. Please message me for details.
3) No pets.

Sleeping arrangements: One king bed, two twin beds.

This place was perfect for our family of four! The condo is beautiful, and the entire complex is well maintained. The pool was very clean! The beach right across the street was nice and easy with young children. The owner was accessible and very communicative in case we needed anything. Oak Island is our family’s favorite vacation spot!

Steps from the sand, miles from stress!

A much-needed escape that exceeded expectations! The rental was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and just steps from the sand and waves. It was the perfect place to relax, recharge, and soak in the beauty of ocean! The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful—available right away for any questions. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!"
Area is safe, quiet. Sitting on the deck you can see and hear the waves for a refreshing start to the morning or end to your evening. Parking safe, convenient/well lit. Walkway/elevator very convenient/easily accessible.
Pic of Yaupon pier. Great fishing and watching beautiful sunsets!
