Among many other things, you'll also find an air fryer, kids dinnerware, mixing bowls with lids, tupperware, ninja blender, mixer, grilling silverware, wine openers, pots and pans, and yes, sharp knives. There is plenty of seating around the kitchen island and a dedicated workspace, great for setting up a laptop, if needed. Beside the island is also a kid's table, ideal for the little ones!

We think you will especially appreciate the outside of the home, with different options to appreciate such as upper and lower decks in the front of the home, which are ideal for gathering for your morning coffee, and watching the gorgeous sunsets in the evening. We appreciate listening to the sound of the ocean while appreciating the rocking chairs and handsome vistas!

Walking out on the back deck, you will see extraordinary vistas of the waterway, overlooking a brand new saltwater pool added early in 2025, with a hot tub under the deck! Pool and hot tub are open year-round, although pool is not heated. Outdoor lighting around the pool make this excellent place to gather in the evening! The private dock is right on the water, ideal for fishing or catching fresh blue crab. You may see the occasional kayaker passing by, and the beautiful native birds doing a little fishing of their own!

There is also a picnic table under the front of the home, which is a great spot for lunches after returning from the beach, or playing cards in the evening. Cornhole boards, beach chairs, cooler, wagon, and kids toys are supplied for use during your stay! A 3-burner propane gas Weber grille is located in the pool area.

Our favorite way to get around the island is to hop in the 6-seater golf cart, equipped with long-range lithium battery, which is available to rent for your stay! Much of Oak Island is accessible by golf cart, with local regulations accepting travel on roads that are posted 35mph or less. We adore taking it to local eateries and ice cream stores, or simply to use as a super easy way to get to and from the beach. Highly recommend taking a drive down to "The Point" on the west end of the Island to watch memorable sunsets! Please let us know if you would like to reserve it for your stay!

Golf cart rate is $75/day for the length of your stay. We gladly offer a 15% discount on the golf cart rate for teachers, first responders and military!
