About this property

Waterway Retreat, fishing pier, bikes, kayak, 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 and is perfect for a large family or two separate families to share. 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 has 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 and we have a bluetooth linked printer you are welcome to use.

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 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 queen size bed a flip out single bed for a child and a platform twin blow up mattress that can accommodate an adult or child. 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 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 in the sitting area, desk and plenty of room for a blow up mattress or two that can be provided upon request. Perfect for a family! 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.

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!

Our lovely Oak Island getaway
So happy we booked work Vrbo and this owner! The experience was nearly perfect all around, and when it wasn’t, the owner was responsive and gracious to make it perfect. We hope to make this Oak Island getaway a regular for our family.

Oak island get away
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.
