Xanadu Oak Island - New Dog-Friendly Home in the Middle of it All

Meaning an idyllic, exotic, or luxurious place, your island retreat awaits! Welcome to Xanadu.

Offering an easy walk to the beach and Middleton Park, this newly constructed, 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is **Dog-friendly and offers the conveniences of home in a cozy layout for you and your family to enjoy your Oak Island getaway.

This modern home offers a large open space for playing games, watching movies, or planning your beach day. You can savor your morning coffee or an afternoon siesta on the screened-in porch while the kids and pups play in the private fenced-in back yard.
This home is in the desirable Tranquil Harbor area of Oak Island, nestled in a quiet spot where you can often hear the soft sounds of the surf off in the distance at high tide.

This desirable location offers an easy walk (0.4 mile / 8-10 minutes) from the Oak Island Cabanas with the only public bathroom on Island and of course the beach. The home is just 0.2 mile to Middleton Park. There is a splash park for the kids, a large playground area, ice cream and doughnut shops, pizza and sandwiches, restaurants, and Publix grocery store.

At the other end of the street, an 8 - 10 minute walk takes you to a boat launch and the Long Beach Paddle Company, where you can rent kayaks and paddle boards or book a tour. Oak Island Fishing Pier is a short drive away, and you are only a ten minute drive from the public Oak Island Par 3 Golf course in Southport.

The kitchen is well-equipped (just like home) with a large refrigerator with ice maker, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, and blender. The spacious center island is great for food preparation, a nice breakfast, buffet space, or a gathering spot for planning your adventures. The living areaā€™s open layout allows everyone to have room to spread out while still being together.

The wrap-around screened porch is steps away from the outdoor shower and is located just off the kitchen. All bedrooms will have freshly laundered linens in high season (May15 - September 15th) in bundles on your beds. Bathroom and kitchen towels will also be included during high season. Note that bath towels cannot be used at the beach, so please bring your own beach towels, or if you prefer, they can be rented separately and delivered to you. Since we are Dog friendly, we would ask that you bring dog blankets for your pups to use if they enjoy snuggling with you on the furniture. There is also a raised dog bed so your dog has its own spot to relax and cool off. Each guest gets a welcome bag including starter supplies for your stay: hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, coffee and tea supplies, shampoo/conditioner, and body wash. The home also includes reliable fiber internet, a washer and dryer, self-check-in keypad, a beach wagon, and two adult bikes
All the bedrooms have memory foam mattresses and smart TVs with fast internet (fiber). The primary suite has a king bed and bath with a walk-in shower and convenient double sinks. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a full bath in the hallway separating it from the third bedroom with two twin beds.

There are parking spots in the driveway with enough space to accommodate three cars.
Rented beach items and bikes should be stored in the fenced backyard or garage.
***Dog Fees are $140.00 for up to 2 pets. No oversized dogs like Bullmastiffs. No guard dogs like Belgian Malinois, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, or Doberman.

Beautiful Home
We loved our visit to Xanadu! The house was beautiful, well laid out, and well stocked with everything we needed. The welcome basket was such a nice touch. The beds were very comfortable as well. We would definitely stay again. Only comment is that if you are carrying a lot of stuff it is a bit of a walk to the beach. A golf cart is recommended.

Best House on the Block!
Great location, house perfectly appointed, newly constructed, and the enclosed porch beckons you to come, relax and enjoy. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are friendly. Everything is convenient, accessible and within walking distance. Tons of golfing opportunities, ferry rides, great beaches, wonderful restaurants and quiet mornings for sipping coffee while listening to the birds and evening spent watching the sunset on the beach.

Great Getaway
This is our fifth time visiting Oak Island but this has been our favorite house yet. Great location - close to restaurants, shops, and beach access. Fenced in yard and shower were great for us - family if four with a pup. Owners were very responsive. Will recommend to friends and family and hope to return in the future.

Loved our stay
We loved our stay at Xanadu. It was well stocked with everything we needed, easily accessible to the ocean, grocery, restaurants, and all other amenities. Hosts are very generous and easy to communicate with. The screened in porch is amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better week with family. We will certainly hope to return at some point. Thanks for everything.

Family Vacation
The property is very new and extremely well layed out. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the screened-in porch. Only 10-12 minutes walk to the beach. We found great food at nearby restaurants. 49th St. Grill & Bar, Kai-Joes, Tranquil Harbor & Swain's Seafood. The fenced in yard was very convenant for our puppies. We would definitely consider renting this property again. Our first time staying at Oak Island and we really enjoyed the area. Thank you, Dave & Denise for this opportunity. The Surratt family.

Beautiful and clean!
The house was very beautiful and clean inside and out. Dave and Denise thought of everything we might need while there (There were even some ice spheres waiting for us in the freezeršŸ˜Š). There are many fun things to do on oak island like the lighthouse tour and the Yoga dock nearby in Southport. Many excellent restaraunts as well! Can not wait to go back!
