About this property
Quiet, Tranquil Retreat For Two, a 5-minute Walk to the Ocean
An exclusive private and tranquil waterway cottage so close to the beach you can hear the waves breaking along the shoreline. This 1 bedroom, 1 bath Craftsman-style guest house is on a unique 5-acre marsh front property with a private pier to a deck and kayak dock. The unrivaled views of the coastal wetlands along Montgomery Slough, plentiful wildlife and remarkable sunsets will leave you wanting to come back year after year.
This vacation get-away is unlike any other on Oak Island. Among the many features of the open floor plan are a fully-stocked gourmet kitchen w/ stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, central A/C, cable TV, a 51" flat screen HDTV, and wireless internet. Full-size stacked washer/dryer, H/C outdoor shower with changing area, covered entry, carport for 1 car, ground-level storage and patio w/gas grill. Linens, towels and departure cleaning provided. Kayaks, bicycles and beach chairs are included for your pleasure.
A wonderful couple's retreat and a perfect setting for birders and wildlife enthusiasts. It's just a five-minute walk to the beach to enjoy a day in the sun. Relax on the private deck overlooking the wetlands and take in some bird watching - more than 200 species of birds inhabit the island each summer. Take a peaceful kayak paddle off the dock or a bike ride around the island. Treat yourself to a round of golf at the Oak Island Country Club. It's a short walk to Ocean Crest Pier or to Island Way Restaurant for oceanfront dining. Drive to nearby Southport and ride the ferry to Bald Head Island or historic Ft. Fisher. Wilmington is less than an hour's drive away.
At least one day, take the time to go to the beach to watch the sun set in the West before you come back to the guest house to relax and plan your tomorrow. Step outside and find a constellation or two or three.

About the host
Hosted by Gerry
This will be my ninth year as owner of a wonderful guest house on Oak Island, North Carolina. Growing up near the ocean with the sounds of the sea birds, the roar of the waves crashing on the beaches, and the clear night sky filled with so many stars, I consider myself fortunate to be able to enjoy them all again.
Why they chose this property
If you long for the ocean that was once a part of your life as it has been for me, I invite you to Oak Island, a world away from the noise and rush of the "city-life" and to take this opportunity to re-acquaint yourself with the "sounds of the sea".
