Look up & be amazed with the 100+ year old Live Oak in the Enclosed Front Yard. Perhaps you will see the Flying Squirrel that lives in the tree. Enjoy the shade or sit in the sun in the Adirondack Chairs on the Front Deck. Part of the Magic of the Front Yard is the Colorful World created by the Purple & Blue Solar Lights. On this Quiet Non-Through Street, the Music you hear are the Birds Chirping & the Waves of the Ocean Breaking against the Shore. This cottage is in a narrow area in the Wooded Section where you can hear the Ocean Calling. In the backyard you will find the Salt Water Pool. On those blazing hot summer days, the Semi-Shade & Cool Water of the Pool are refreshing. The Pool is 7’ Deep on one end & Large enough to Swim Laps or do Water Aerobics. Surrounding the Pool is an Evergreen Astroturf that keeps your feet clean getting in & out of the Pool & creates an Oasis in the backyard. In the evenings, slide into the Pool lit by the Magical Colored Lights shining beneath the water. Watch the Stars as they Sparkle. With the absence of the big city lights, the stars just shine at night. Venus is often visible. Relax in the Lounge Chairs or bring out lunch or dinner to eat Alfresco at the Umbrella Table. The backyard is also Fenced-In & Dog Friendly. There are 2 Bubble Port Hole Windows at Pooch Height for your dog to see what is going on, on the other side of the fence & perhaps get excited about a Squirrel roaming about. Before you enter from the Deck, you will notice the Large Gas Grill with the Light attached to assure you can see those evening meals as you prepare them. From there you head on in to the Screened-In Porch. Here you have comfortable seating for listening to the many Birds as they each sing their own song. Hear the Waves as you relax. Curl up & read one of several Local Beach Reads. Notice the “Doggie Door” is a Magnetic Enclosed Screen that the family dog just pushes right through to go outside. In the Midyard is a Covered Bike Rack if you brought yours or rented one on the Island. Move on inside, & you find an Open Concept Kitchen/Dining/Living Room. The Kitchen has a Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System that assures that you have the best water you have perhaps ever had at the beach. Whether you pour a glass from the tap or add ice from the freezer, while staying here you don’t have to buy bottled water or bagged ice this trip. Small Appliances include a matching aqua set of Countertop Microwave, Blender, Hand Blender & Tea Pot. Bring your favorite ground coffee to brew in the Drip Coffee Maker. If you enjoy bagels, there is a 4 Slice Bagel Sized Toaster. The 6 seat Dining Table is close to the Kitchen making Serving & Cleanup quick & easy. In the Living area are a Comfortable Leather Sofa, Love Seat & Chair with Ottoman. The Large Screen TV has Roku Service. Log into your favorite Streaming Service & enjoy the seemingly speed of light Fiber Optic Network. Maybe watch that movie you’ve be wanting to see. Relive family memories on DVD using the DVD Player. Seasonally, there is a Gas Fireplace to create a cozy ambiance. The Coffee Table expands to give you ample space to assemble a puzzle or play the various games, including Southport-O’poly with local landmarks. This Cottage sleeps 6 in 3 Bedrooms. Another Unique quality here are the Handmade Amish Colton Mattresses made in Asheville, NC. This may be the best night’s rest you’ve ever had. That’s what many guests think because several have purchased these mattresses for their home after sleeping on them here. The Primary Suite is the where the Mermaids dwell, you may even see one from your Pool View. The EnSuite has a Tub/Shower Combination. Unpack using the Dresser & Walk-In Closet. Bedroom #2 is Beach Comber’s room with a Queen, Dresser/Closet & a View of the Pool. The 3rd Bedroom also has a Queen & with the Ship’s Wheel (from an older family boat) on the wall you may guess this room to be the Captain’s Quarters. It has a Dresser & Closet to Unpack. The Commercial Grade Full-Sized Washer/Dryer keep those towels & swimsuits always ready for the Beach or Pool. You don’t have to wait for a Blue Moon to make Our Beach House, Your Beach House.

This property was so much more than I expected! We drove from NYC to vacay in NC to enjoy the warm ocean waters but ended up spending most of our time on the property/pool. ##### Joanne S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kimberly G. 14 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice stay overall. The property is in a good location and the house itself was clean. The commutation was good. However, the house needs a few upgrades. Pots and pans weren’t very good and the house just needs a few updates. The yard was not in good shape. The yard needs to be cleaned up and the trees need pruning. We had a problem with insects. Lots of mosquitoes and flies. Outdoor furniture should be cleaned before people arrive. They had a lot of webs and debris on them. To be fair the price was nice but a few small changes would go a long way for renters to leave a 5 star review. ##### Kimberly G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer F. 21 Aug 2023 #### Blue Moon Beach Cottage The Blue Moon Beach Cottage was everything it was promised to be. The pool was great and we spent a lot of time there. The house itself was comfortable. It was a quick drive around the block to the beach where we found plenty of parking. We enjoyed the screened porch for afternoon reading and naps. Would highly recommend to someone looking for a secluded, relaxing getaway close to the beach. ##### Jennifer F. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Crystal S. 16 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach Getaway Beautiful property. Clean, neat and comfortable. The only suggestion would be to place some night lights in the hall and kitchen area so people can see if they get up at night. Otherwise it was great. ##### Crystal S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Carolin B. 1 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good beach getaway The positives: Liked the place - spacious and clean inside. Good location, too. The communication with the property manager was prompt. Nice welcoming package upon arrival. The negatives: The pool was not clean when we arrived, so we had to wait a day for it to be cleaned in order to use it. The pool is right next to another large rental house that overlooks the pool, so it’s not “private.” The outdoor trash can was overrun with maggots when we arrived (can’t fault the owners but it was not a pretty sight). Lots of barking dogs in surrounding houses kept our pups alert more than we had hoped. Summary: Good option for a getaway place at the beach. ##### Carolin B. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie G. 5 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacation This cute little home was the perfect spot for my daughters and parents and me to escape to for the week. Small and cozy the open floor plan of the kitchen/dining/living room was comfortable for everyone to spread out. The bedrooms are on the smaller side but were more than adequate. We enjoyed the location-tucked at the end of the street. Great communication with the host during our stay and prompt responses to any questions/issues that might arise. Our small dog LOVED the private fenced in backyard and pool area and due to the heat advisories daily the shady backyard and screened in porch were a daily hangout spot. Overall we were delighted with the trip. Great beach and plenty of convenient grocery stores and restaurants within a few mile radius. Thanks so much! ##### Melanie G. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024
