Listen to the soothing sounds of the surf from Sweet EmOcean! This nautical-themed 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home has everything you need during your stay on Oak Island and more. It's the perfect place for families with children with 2 covered porches, a large backyard with firepit and so many amenities the adults will love too! Plus, you'll be only a short stroll from the beach, the Ocean Crest Fishing Pier, and oceanfront dining.

The inverted and open floor plan allows for lovely ocean views from all of the main living spaces! There are super comfortable couches and an oversized chair that are great for snuggling up to watch your favorite shows and enjoying the warmth of the gas fireplace together. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gorgeous beadboard cabinetry, and a massive island with bar seating for up to 8. It's fully equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal, and there's even a countertop wine cooler for the connoisseurs in your family or group. The coastal vibes extend into the dining area with the beachy chandelier and seating for up to 8.

You'll find the first themed bedroom, "Crew Quarters," right off the kitchen! This huge bedroom is great for the kiddos with 2 bunk beds — one is traditional with 2 twin-size beds, with a pull-out twin trundle underneath and the other has a full-size mattresses for both the top and bottom! It comes complete with a flatscreen TV, a mini foosball table that converts into a pool table, and a fold out futon couch.

The other guest bedrooms are located just down the hallway and boast fun themes along with queen-size beds.

Something that future guests should be aware of is that, at least as of July 25, 2026, there is NO hot tub. We reserved the house before the title of the listing was edited in April, 2026 to reflect there WAS a hot tub, so we weren't disappointed or anything. The VRBO title still inadvertently shows this house has a hot tub. Other than that, the house lived up to its description. Be aware, access to the top floor bathroom is inside the bunk bedroom. So, if kiddos are asleep, you have to go downstairs for a bathroom. Speaking of the bunk bedroom, it is impressively well appointed with activities/games for the kids. The kitchen is also very well appointed, except for baking sheets. The family also liked the cozy blankets combined with very comfortable living room furniture. Another nice bonus is the "business center" located in the closet of one of the bedrooms. It's a computer desk/chair/monitor set up to use. We recommend Sweet EmOcean!

Enjoyable home for family vacation

We enjoyed our week at Sweet Em’s. This home comfortably fit Our family of 8 adults and several littles under 5. It was well equipped with about everything you might want for a beach vacation. We had a few issues that required a call to maintenance but they promptly answered and attended to our concerns. Short walk to beach was a plus and outdoor shower welcomed. Very appreciative of the welcome items including a bottle of wine. Each room is tastefully decorated to help you enjoy a beach vacation! Would stay here again.

Emotion

The house was a nice house. It wasn’t very clean. We cleaned as much as we could. The door that goes outside in the master needs repaired. One of the drawers in the kitchen was barely hanging. We cleaned the stairway railing. The filter on the AC unit is filthy. Handprints hadn’t been cleaned on the doors. The mirrors were dirty.
