New! Oceanfront w/ Pier Views & Private Boardwalk. Great Escape
In pursuit of your next Great Escape with family, friends, and your furry family members? This recently renovated oceanfront pet-friendly vacation home on Oak Island has it all! With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this is truly the perfect place to kick back and relax during your coastal adventures. Highlights include breathtaking views of the beach and Ocean Crest Pier from the main living spaces, a covered porch, and an extended deck with built-in seating. Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the ocean, and then walk down your own personal boardwalk to the sandy shore. Beach days are easy; simply grab the leashes and beach gear (chairs and a wagon are provided). When you're ready to explore, you'll be only minutes away from the best spots on the island — the pier, dining, shopping, and more.
Upon walking in, you're greeted into the open floor plan featuring vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows that takes full advantage of the stunning seaside views. The living space was recently updated with brand new modern furnishings — like the massive (incredibly comfortable) sectional couch and large flatscreen TV. The kitchen has everything you will need to prepare meals for those times you want to stay in and boasts stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and an extensive kitchen island with bar seating for up to 4. When you're ready to sit down together, the dining area offers those captivating views with seating for up to 6.
There's a quaint loft area up the stairs with oversized chairs that are great for snuggling up to read your favorite novel or taking an afternoon nap. Down the hall is where you'll find 2 of the 4 bedrooms — both with king-size beds, flatscreen TVs, and relaxing coastal decor. These bedrooms share a renovated bathroom with high-end finishes, double vanity, a linen closet, and a spacious walk-in shower.
The remaining bedrooms and second bathroom are back downstairs on the main level. Both bedrooms feature one queen and one double bed along with flatscreen TVs, spacious closets, and beautiful decor. The guest bathroom has an extended double vanity and an exquisite walk-in shower.
That's only the beginning of the amenities at this oceanfront vacation rental at Oak Island! Alongside the outdoor shower and gas grill, you'll have premium amenities like wireless internet, and a full-size washer and dryer. What are you waiting for? Book your next Great Escape on Oak Island today!

Enjoyed the property, awesome location, very nice accommodations.
We really enjoyed our stay at the beach house. The property was updated recently and was very well accommodated. Steps away from the beach, it was very easy to get our chairs and stuff out for the day. The check-in process was very simple and this was definitely the nicest property we've stayed at in Oak Island.

This home was nicely furnished, with lots of amenities for cooking, relaxing and enjoying the beach. Our fur babies were also comfortable and happy in this pet-friendly home. The location directly oceanfront, with restaurants and shopping within a short drive. Southport was only a short drive, a nice day trip. The deck was perfect for viewing the stunning sunrises and sunsets. A great week for our family to unwind after the holidays!

Thank you! The Salt and Sand Realty team!
The photographs do not do this property justice. It is beautifully furnished, and the kitchen is better stocked than mine. Really: who has a wok and a sandwich maker as well as dozens of skillets and pans? The beds are very comfortable, and the view of the ocean cannot be beat. If I could give this property more than 5 stars I would.

Place was near perfect. Love the layout of the property with the 4 big bedrooms and the large bathrooms. Place was clean and updated. We were impressed with the nice utensils and pots and pans. Most places they are usually worn out. May need to update the coffee maker soon and warn people to bring large trash bags for the kitchen.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a kind review. We also love this property. We will definitely be taking your suggestion regarding the coffee maker to our homeowner. Regarding the trash bags for the kitchen, I agree that is a wonderful thing to add. As we only provide a starter kit that includes a trash bag, paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher pod, washing machine pod, dishwashing soap, hand soap at every sink, bath soap, and shampoo/conditioner. We do this because we want you to relax without stopping at the store when you get to the island. Thank you again for this great review. Please come back soon! - Salt and Sand Realty
Location and property was great! We happened to be there when the temps dropped to 45 and the upstairs heat stopped working, I sent a message on Easter Sunday and someone actually came out to try and fix it. Which was great customer service even though they weren't able to get it working properly we greatly appreciated the effort.
We will be back when the weather is warmer ;)

Thank you for the review! We hate that happened. We try to make every guest feel at home. Come back, we would love to host you anytime!
We enjoyed our stay at the Great Escape. We came for a quick getaway trip and the house was in a great location and met our needs. We loved we were able to access the beach easily and were close to the grocery store, restaurants and beautiful pickleball courts. Our only complaint would be to redo the back decking. We learned the hard way to wear shoes due to the old splintering wood. Besides a few splinters in our feet, we enjoyed the island property and were happy we could bring our golden retriever with us.
Nice, comfortable, needs a lot of minor repairs and new window
This was a nice, clean, comfortable place to stay for my family for a week but the house has some minor repairs and one of the big picture windows looking out to the water is fogged up and needs replacing. We told the manager the list, which was fairly long so hopefully they will be fixed by the time the season starts.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are thrilled to hear you had a great experience. Our team works very hard to ensure all our guests enjoy their stay.
We hope to welcome you back next year. As a token of our appreciation, we would like to offer you an opportunity to rebook for the 2025 season at a special rate if you book before August 15, 2024. Please call us at 910-294-6724 to take advantage of this offer.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us.
Absolutely stunning ocean views. Comfortably fit 6 adults, one teen and a dog. Two upstairs bedrooms and two downstairs. Each set of bedrooms shared a bathroom. The linens and towels come packaged so you will need to make your own bed. There are two grocery stores on the island. There are no beach items (like chairs) on the property so you will need to bring your own or have the option to rent them. Another thing is trash pick up is every other week in the winter so if there is alot of trash things can get very full. Luckily our week was trash week. Overall wonderful stay.
This is our second year staying on this property. It is the perfect size for our party of 7 with an ideal layout: two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs with a large bathrooms between the bedrooms. Downstairs living room, kitchen and dining room are open with lots of space and the kitchen is supplied well. Each of the bedrooms has large televisions and the living room has an exceptionally large wall mounted television as well.
The location is right on the beach and the house is close to stores, shops, restaurants, and parks. There is a walking bridge over the inlet just a short walk from the house that has relaxing views of wildlife.
The back deck with chairs and a swing is perfect for sitting out watching the waves and relaxing (chairs, rockers could use updating). There is also a lower deck with an outdoor couch which is perfect for watching sunsets and sitting around with family and friends.
Also mention that the outdoor shower located on the patio underneath the house is very roomy and was used a lot. Note there a hose shower on the deck as well but the shower on the patio is fully functioning outdoor shower with hot water and lots of places to hang wet clothes.
Grill needs updating as well but we didn't use it.
