Charming Beachfront Cottage Awaits You! Direct access to beach off deck/walkway.

This 2-bedroom, 2 full bath home is truly special—a magical property where you enjoy the best of both worlds: lush vegetation and oceanfront right in your backyard.

As you approach the home, you’ll immediately appreciate the curb appeal, with beautiful landscaping welcoming you in.

Step inside and you’ll be embraced by over 130-year-old hardwood floors and a warm, coastal, and inviting interior. The kitchen and dining area greet you upon entry, with the living room to your left on the ocean side. Just beyond, the primary bedroom offers a lovely ensuite bathroom.

Off the kitchen, you’ll find the second bedroom and full bathroom, featuring a fun NYC-inspired theme. The living room also includes a queen sleeper sofa, perfect for additional guests. We provide all linens, towels, and essentials to make your stay comfortable from the moment you arrive.

The oceanside of the home is truly breathtaking, with a wall of sliding glass doors offering ocean views from nearly every room. Curtains you can draw as you wish throughout.

A fully equipped kitchen is ready for those who prefer to dine in, or enjoy alfresco meals on the back deck while taking in the ocean breeze. Sunsets here are not to be missed.

Everything you need is right at your fingertips—beach chairs, towels, and toys are provided, along with a fire pit, Adirondack chairs, loungers, and outdoor dining to fully enjoy the sights, sounds, and feel of coastal living. If you choose to venture out, you’ll find wonderful local restaurants nearby, some even within walking distance.

This cottage holds a special place in our hearts—it’s where we were married—and we hope it becomes a place where you create lasting memories with your loved ones here on beautiful Oak Island.

Safe travels,
J&J

Everything about our stay was wonderful; the weather didn't cooperate at first, but still. A well-appointed beach cottage; the hosts thought of all needs for their guests. Cozy with a fantastic ocean-facing porch. We will definitely go back.

Baby’s first beach trip

We booked the lil Seabiscuit for a quick family getaway. It was the perfect stay! Amazing deck space and right off the sand, which is what we were looking for. Will definitely look to stay here again in the future!

Wonderful getaway—perfect spot to relax and unwind

We had a wonderful experience all throughout starting with renting this beautiful cottage - excellent communication leading up to and during our stay. The pictures are spot on and as soon as we walked through the doors we felt at home. We could tell that the owners took special care of all the details and comforts. We loved being able to walk out to the beach whenever we wanted to. The views are breathtaking. We highly recommend staying here and plan to come back soon.

a week at the perfect beach cottage

My sister and I stayed for seven nights at this cottage on a North Carolina barrier island. We have rented similar places several Aprils in the past. Lil Seabiscuit was far superior to any other experience in both comfort and class. The owners have thought of everything! And when we ran into a problem with the hot water, they helped me solve it immediately, even though they were in Japan at a fancy dinner! Our best experienfe ever!

Great little house!

Our stay was really nice. The house was beautiful and well maintained. Access to the beachs and location were really nice. Only downside is that the Second bedroom is really small. We have two younger boys and they both had to share the bed because there was no room even for a sleeping bag on the floor. Outside of the size of the second bedroom the place is a real find.

Outstanding OKI Retreat

My 3 children and I had the best time and made wonderful memories at lil seabiscuit. Jackie was communicative and everything was written out for us to make our arrival and departure easy. It is the cleanest place with some special features. The little extras are evident throughout. We immediately fell in love with the lovely beach cottage, its layout, comfort in all spaces, the beautiful deck and being on the ocean was incredible convenient for morning sunrise walks, beach afternoons and sunsets to die for. The kitchen is fully stocked for all cooking needs. Having beach chairs and toys was also a bonus! If you have a small family or group you won’t find anything better! We can’t wait to come back!
