About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Quiet, Quaint, and Close to the Beach!

The Ruff Seas was originally built as a fisherman’s cottage after hurricane Hazel. The house is on the woodland side of the island and a quick 7 minute walk to beach. This lot has an extra relaxed feel, as a neighboring lot is undeveloped. The cottage sits back from the street. Behind a picket fence is the porch and it is truly wonderful with floor to ceiling screening and unobstructed views of the flora and fauna.
coming in off the porch you enter a very comfortable and open living area that flows into a huge dining table and kitchen beyond.
There are so many extras..... A Carport to bring the groceries in when it rains or to put new wax on your surfboard. Outdoor shower to rinse off you and the seashells. Gas grill to prepare that fresh caught flounder.
Please come enjoy the pleasures of quiet relaxed island living!

So many extras, no need to overpack for a small group
My group had three adults and we loved this house! Close to the beach and the public beach access, kitchen was stocked with essentials, and the screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee and late night hanging out. The cherry on top was the beachsupplies

Perfect little cottage
My sister and I enjoyed our get-away at Oak Island. This house was perfect for the 2 of us. We LOVED the setting, and practically lived on the front porch. The house is well furnished and the kitchen has everything you would need for your stay.

This house was perfect. We spent the days on the beach and nights on the porch. The house had great accommodations and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We love it and will surely be back again.

Great little getaway
Lovely little place. Very clean and comfortable. Very well provisioned, really quiet location. We did end up driving to the beach just because the main road is so busy and we have two young kids (and parking is free until April 1). We had a great time and would stay again. Especially loved the front porch and all the little toys and puzzles for kids. Thanks Craig!
