Shoal Sisters offers the best in Oak Island Beach Cottage Units

Accepts Short Stays.

3 Bedroom / 2 Bathroom / Sleeps 6

Our sweet beach bungalow is tucked among some of the prettiest mature woodlands on the island. Located between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Beach, Shoal Sisters is a ideal choice for a vacation that is not battered by ocean winds and sand, but quietly perched in a family neighborhood. A two-min. drive (or one-mile walk) will have you at the oceanfront in a flash.  If you prefer to walk, we are just afew blocks from the beach walkover and the Oak Island Recreation Center! Our neighborhood is a jogger and dog walker’s dream: the well marked walkway at SE 31st Street provides a town kayak launch for the Davis Canal and a great view of the center of the island, not accessible by car. This is our favorite area to catch a great sunrise/sunset around the marshlands and to check out a lot of waterbirds. There is a secondary walking path at SE 20th so there is potential for a longer loop for the runners in your group!  Lush landscaping and a phenomenal backyard make this a private coastal getaway. Roast smores in an outdoor fire, walk your furry friend down the friendly street, or comfortable up inside our open living space. With an upsized primary bedroom suite and two sizable, comfortable bedrooms sharing their own bath, you will have plenty of sleep time privacy. One story living with only a few steps at the front porch, Shoal Sisters is ideal for travelers who need to avoid stairs.

With a gorgeous Golf Club open to summer travelers and over 100 public water access points, there is an abundance of all things adventurous to do on Oak Island! 

If you'd like to keep your exercise routine going while on vacation, you can get an out-of-town Gym pass at Oak Island Recreation Center. Utilize the Rec Center's ample parking, put in at the Kayak ramp and spend hours kayaking our impressive marshes.  Sit on the lawn and savor a nighttime off cooking at our Weekly Friday nighttime "Summer Concert In The Park" with a couple of local food truck options at this family-centric Live Music event. Beach Day takes place in Oak Island on the Friday prior to July 4th and features all day activities followed by fireworks on the island that evening.

Visit Historic Southport, a seafaring town just five miles from our island, for a bigger nightlife. Southport, at the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, features a variety of different eateries, bars, live music and shopping. It is one of our favorite places to walk around and check out different food and live music on the weekends. There are complimentary parking options all over town, and you can comfortably walk to dozens of places while appreciating the breeze from the riverfront and admiring historic homes and general store buildings that date back to the early 1800s. Southport's State Fourth of July Festival is a three-day street fair with artists from all over the state, vendors, and food. It is really like being in an Andy Griffith episode with the parade and grandiose finale fireworks show over the riverfront in Southport.
We look forward to your visit!

Our top Rental home booking tips:

Sticking to your budget:

• To get the best value, change your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Brunswick area area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing and booking the right Brunswick area rental home:

• Start by having your family choose vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Ask about $161.04 linen discount! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Brunswick area attraction you love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, record any problem areas during arrival. Call the host immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
