Our 2nd home 1 mile from the beach on quiet west end with big yard, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Queen master, twin bunk bedroom, and twin over full bunk bedroom. Please ask any questions. Nicely furnished, complete kitchen.
What's to love about OKI: 10 miles of uncrowded beach, 60 public access points, fishing piers, marinas, public boat ramps. Parks and putt putt, small town feel. Good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families with kids. Dogs allowed: 1-$80 fee, 2- $100.

The space
Down by the Sea is our home away from home. We’ve put a lot of effort into making it a space that is welcoming and comfortable. The living space has an open floor plan with stocked kitchen, dining, and living area. Relax on the front porch with coffee. Nice plank tile flooring make clean up easy.

The living room has a TV and complimentary Wifi and a selection of movies and board games. The house does not have cable but all TVs have Firesticks or Rokus for you to access Hulu, Amazon Prime and any other streaming services you may have.

The kitchen is packed full of dishes, cookware, small appliances and other essentials. There is a separate laundry room.

A spacious Master bedroom has a queen size bed and private bathroom. The second bedroom has twin bunk beds, and the third bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed. All beds have linens. Please note, our home comfortably accommodates up to six people (including children). Also, beach towels are not provided – please refrain from taking bathing towels to the beach.

The real star of the island is the beach itself. It's a short distance by car with over 60 public beach access points. No matter the time of the year, your time spent at the beach will be memorable.


We welcome you to our home and hope you love the slow pace of OKI as much as we do. We believe that "Y'all means ALL," and are intentionally inclusive in welcoming guests without regard to race, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, family structure, or political affiliation.

Neighborhood highlights

Home is located on the quieter *west* end of the island but it's conveniently close to all of Oak Islands restaurants and shops (and of course the beach). It is located 1 mile from Beach. 4 miles from grocery.
Most neighbors live here full time. Southport's beautiful waterfront, dining and shopping is a short drive across the bridge. Historical downtown Wilmington and North Myrtle Beach is a short 45 minute drive.

We are a family of 6 that love traveling. We stay busy with four kids ranging from Elementary to grown up. Most of our vacation time is spent at our beach house with our two dogs, a Lab mix and a Chihuahua. We really enjoy travelling and exploring other cities, too.
