Like new home built in 2021. On a quiet, residential street, never worry about being surrounded by party-goers. The streets safe for bike riding and walking, far enough away from the center of town, but close enough to be a 10-min drive to the conveniences. Drive (2-3 min) or walk (10-15min) to the quietest part of the beach where you can see both the splendid sunrises and the stunning sunsets. The home is stocked with all basic amenities down to the bath towels, bed linens, cleaning supplies, paper products and even condiments in the refrigerator. Open, spacious floor plan, cozy living area, and quaint bedrooms for your time away from the beach. Puzzles, books, games, wi-fi, and TV's in every bedroom for your entertainment. Even a cute little "leave a book, take a book" box on the walk to the beach.
Bedroom 1, the master, includes a King bed and double vanity, with a double head shower larger than you can imagine! Bedroom 2, with a Queen bed includes a dresser to unpack all those clothes and feel like you actually live there rather than living out of a suitcase. Bedroom 3, with 2 double beds allows for those who like to share a room sleep-over style.
Bathrooms: both contain towels, basic soaps/shampoos and select toiletries in case you forget what you need, or simply to lighten your load when packing. The master includes a HUGE shower with two shower heads!
The front porch and the back screened-in porch make for great conversation, book reading, enjoying cocktails or just winding down.
Below the house, aside from plenty of parking, there is a gas grill, a Blackstone flat top griddle, and an electric smoker available for responsible use. There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off all that extra beach sand.
Paid parking is required at all beach lots. For details, go to oakislandnc.gov Rates: $5/hr, $20/day, or $80/wk, Payment options: 1 - download the app: "Surf Cast by Otto Connect" 2 - On Site - scan QR code on the "Pay to Park" 3 - Online - surfcast.ottoconnect.us/pay 4 - Phone - 910-200-1497
We would love for you to enjoy A Shore Escape as your home away from home.

Hi Nick thank you for the review! If Interested we are giving a big discount to repeat renters this year. If you are interested just shoot us a message and we’ll explain everything. Thank you. Sean & Jen
The owners of the house were nice.They were easy to communicate with as well. The neighbor next door was really helpful and very friendly. And the house was impeccably stored with anything you would possibly need, Cant say enough of how much we enjoyed our time, and look forward to the next!
We just wrapped up our stay at this amazing beach rental, and I can honestly say it was perfection. The home was fully stocked with everything we could have possibly needed—plenty of towels, beach accessories, shampoo and conditioner, even games for some family fun. The location was ideal—just minutes from everything we wanted to do and see.The hosts were fantastic with communication—responsive, friendly, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. It made the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free.I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beach escape, and I absolutely can’t wait to come back again. One of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in!
First trip to North Carolina from Illinois. Family of 6 with kids from elementary age through college age. Something in Oak Island for everyone. We spent the week at Long Beach, which is only a few minutes drive from the property. Neighbors were great to talk to and great sources of local information. Hosts were excellent with regard to communication before, during, and after the visit. Definitely want to stay here again!!!

About the host
Hosted by Jen and Sean Walle
Hello! We are from outside Richmond, Virginia and are opening up our second home to you! We have enjoyed many wonderful days and evenings on this great beach and would love to share.
Why they chose this property
We love how quiet this neighborhood is and allows kids to play safely outdoors. There are plenty of people walking and jogging for exercise, or enjoying leisurely bike rides. With the Fire Department just two blocks over, the retired Oak Island police officer just next door, safety is optimal. Located just three blocks from the main access road to the beach, this location can't be beat.
What makes this property unique
The main living area is spacious and centered between the master bed/bath on one side of the home and the other two rooms on the other side of the home. The front an back porches in addition to multiple sitting options in the home make for comfort whether you want to be social or have some alone time.
