The kitchen, dining and living area combine to create a family and friend gathering focal point where unforgettable lifetime memories will surely be made. Venture outside the oceanfront door to the privacy of your own covered porch where you can have a cup of coffee in the morning while checking your text messages with the sounds of seagulls squawking and the waves crashing in the background. Or dine outside anytime of the day at the convenient table waiting just for you. Step further down the walkway and rest under the shade of your own ocean view gazebo and another covered retreat from the sun where you can read on one of the benches, watch the beach strollers go by or the kids swim and splash in the ocean. Easy beach access is absolutely the benefit of this oceanfront location providing safety from having to cross busy Beach Drive and the luxury of lugging your beach gear a short distance. After a long day in the sun, rest assured there is an outside shower waiting for you to conveniently clean off before heading inside for the evening.

After everyone is stuffed from a delicious dinner, relax and play games until it’s time to retire. The master bedroom offers a king size bed with ocean views to enjoy at first light when the sun rises up over the east end of Oak Island which faces south creating the ability to enjoy the beauty of both sunrises and sunsets!
