Holiday availability! Relaxing Waterfront Retreat- pier bikes kayaks paddleboard


Welcome to the peaceful "West End" of Oak island. Here the traffic is slower, the streets are lined with elegant trees and the houses have spacious backyards overlooking this tranquil undeveloped stretch of the Intercoastal Waterway.

Our home has 3 beautiful bedrooms (7 bds) and is perfect for a large family or couples retreat. There are 2 full baths and an additional 2 half baths. The spacious house is approximately 2800 square ft and allows for many areas to work, study, read or play games. There are 4 separate porches with the largest being screened in and furnished with two large couches perfect for outdoor napping!

The kitchen has an L-shaped bar that seats 4 and dinning table that seats 6. There is a work island to accommodate multiple cooks in the kitchen. Since this has been a family home for many years the kitchen is fully stocked with all cooking necessities. The layout also works great for entertaining or hosting holiday meals. There is also a sizable desk that allows for a great place remote work.

The dining area connects to the kitchen. It has a large dining table that seats up to 6 so a total of 10 people can be seated between the kitchen and dining area. This dining table over looks the beautiful azalea and palm tree filled backyard and has a large wall of glass windows and french doors.

Off the kitchen is the guest bedroom wing. 1st bedroom has two twin beds and a flip out chair bed appropriate for a child. The 2nd bedroom has a full size bed, pack and play and a twin bed. Perfect for a small family. This bedroom has a private porch overlooking the backyard and an en suite half bath. Between the two bedrooms is a full bathroom, newly renovated with a beautiful walk-in tile shower, sink and toilet.

The large open living room connects to the dining/kitchen area and has two separate seating areas. The main area over looks the backyard through the large screened in porch. This area has cable TV, a gas burning fireplace and a new x- large comfy Pottery Barn sectional. There's plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy a movie together of play games by the fire.

The master bedroom suite is located on its own floor and reached by a staircase off of the living room. It has a spectacular view overlooking the backyard of the Intercoastal waterway. It is very spacious with a queen bed, double bed sleeper sofa and an electric blow up twin bed as well as a the sitting area, and desk for remote work. This bedroom is also perfect for a family with sleeping capacity of 5! The master bath has a double sink vanity, toilet and bath tub/shower combo.

The backyard overlooks a rare undeveloped section of the Intercoastal waterway. The house is located on double lot which allows for a large very private backyard. It is perfect afternoon games of badminton, paddleball, horseshoe.

Our pier provides a glorious place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee as the fog is clearing or a sunset cocktail as you watch the fishing boats come in with their bounty. It is peaceful and a wonderful spot to watch the beautiful NC coastal wildlife. This pier has been used for catching hundreds of fish and almost as many crabs! There is a floating dock for launching kayaks, paddleboards, or just casting for minnows. The main pier has a 4 person built in bench, rod holders, crab basket and a cleaning station for fish. Its a fisherman ideal setting.

If you are a fisherman bring your boat and take advantage of the in-shore and off-shore fishing that Oak Island has to offer. The 55th street public boat launch is easily accessible. Our driveway has plenty of space to store your boat or trailer. **Note the pier is not avaible for docking a boat unattended, guest can be picked up from the floating dock.

Amazing Family Thanksgiving Holiday!
This property was the perfect, cozy home to spend our family Thanksgiving. We had never been to North Carolina before and we fell in love with Oak Island. The home was perfect in terms of location, space for everyone, amenities, lots of extra items provided for recreation and there was even a beautiful Christmas tree inside to greet us once we arrived! You could sense the love and warmth in this family home. The beach was easy to get to and we loved watching the boats pass by in the early mornings and evenings from the porch. We even caught a few fish of our own from the pier. The owner is very friendly and easy to communicate with all through the process, even before making the booking, as we had a few questions about our son bringing his dog. She even checked on us upon our arrival to make sure we were finding everything okay. We would highly recommend this beautiful home for anyone looking for a memorable vacation - we are definitely hoping to return! Thank you - we will cherish the family memories we made during this vacation!

Very Relaxing Vacation Property
We had a very enjoyable stay at the property. Very well maintained and furnished. Stocked with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We loved the screened in back porch overlooking the inland waterway and beautiful back yard. The neighborhood was the perfect place for riding bikes along the waterway. Met several of the locals in the neighborhood while walking the dog. Everyone was so friendly. A five minute drive to public beach access. Close to all the wonderful restaurants on the island. (Our favorites - Salt64, Castucci's, Kai Joe's) Our host was great and sent messages to make sure we arrived ok and had everything we needed. Highly recommend this property.

Just perfect!
We stayed in mid-August for a long weekend of fishing at lounging at the beach. The home fit our extended family of 7 beautifully. The neighborhood was quiet and well-maintained. The home itself was so inviting, with a well-stocked kitchen (bring your own knives), comfortable congregating areas, and beautiful views. Lisa was so helpful and communicative! It was fun fishing off the dock and catching a few blue crabs! 10/10 recommend.

We really enjoyed our recent stay. This is a beautiful home and wonderfully manicured lawn with palms, ferns and more. It’s got a beautiful feeling of being secluded while being close to everything OKI has to offer. The host was wonderful to communicate with. Highly recommend this home.

Completely impressed!
Our visit was awesome! So many activities for everyone: Paddle boards, fishing, biking and ping pong or just some lazy hammock porch relaxing with a good book. Beautiful outdoor scenery! The large living area and open kitchen allowed our family to all be together, cook our favorite foods and share our lives from this past year. Truly memorable. Special thanks to our wonderful host, Lisa!

Very relaxing and enjoyable vacation.
Communication with owner was superb. Our family loved the location and layout of the house was exceptional. Not to forget about the private dock. My son and grandson had their bellies full of fishing. My wife commented this was one of the most beautiful properties we’ve stayed at during our family vacations ( that speaks for itself).

Quiet and relaxing waterway home
It was the perfect spacious place for us. Everybody in family except husband loves to fish. Pier made easy access for that. We saw an eagle twice, caught a few fish, and several large blue crabs. Linens were all very fresh and clean, as well as blankets and pillows. I sure hope we can revisit in future!

This property really deserves 5 stars in all catagorys. It was super clean and very nice. It was perfect in every way. We loved the pier and the way it was tucked back in the trees. It was like our own little paradise. We really enjoyed the bike rides and the ping pong table as well. Lisa made it super easy to check in and out and she was helpful in every way. This was one of the best houses we have stayed in. We will definately be back. Thanks Lisa for a Great house and wonderful property.

The location was great, not too close but not too far from the beach. The house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed! The outdoor living was where we spent the most time, relaxing in the screened room, fishing off the dock and we saw dolphins more than once! Owner communication was great, she initiated contact and was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again!!

What a great rental!!
We had the best time staying here as soon as we entered the house to the minute we left. It felt like home yet so elegant and comfortable. Everything you could want or need was provided for us. The dock and the pier were fantastic! We never caught such a variety of fish and caught enough for two meals! We saw dolphins, endless boats going by and watching the pelicans dive over and over again was very entertaining. It was quiet and relaxing staying here. Check in and check out was so easy. Lisa is a super host and I would highly recommend renting her place. You won't be disappointed!! Thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful treasure. It was one of the best vacations we have taken yet! The Dunn family

Peaceful place
Our week long stay was very quiet and peaceful and exactly what we needed. It’s in a lower traffic area, family neighborhoods, and friendly folks everywhere. The home is full of charm and character. We spent as much time weather permitting on the pier and dock ( not just trying but actually catching fish), such a treat. We cook in mostly and had anything you could need in the kitchen. Our host was quick to respond, professional and gracious. Check in and out was a breeze. I hope to be back in spring to make more memories there. Thank you for sharing your home.
