With two master suites, plenty of seating and amazing outdoor spaces to explore, there’s enough room for the entire family to spread out here. Settle down in the living room to watch the big game on the 70 inch flatscreen TV on your choice of a pair of rocking armchairs, a pair of recliners or the reclining sofa. Play a board game or enjoy your morning coffee at the 47" round table with four chairs as you gaze out over the water. To the opposite side of the living room, a rectangular dining table and small drop leaf table seat a total of 18 guests. The adjacent galley-style kitchen offers stainless-steel appliances and plenty of cabinet and counter space. Clean local produce or the catch of the day in the farmhouse sink as you watch palm fronds sway in the breeze. Just off the kitchen is a half bath for your convenience, along with a bedroom that provides a queen bed. All bedrooms in the home include their own TV for personal entertainment, so there’s no need to argue over the remote in the evenings. Just off the living room, you’ll discover the first master suite with a king bed and attached private bath with step in shower, along with direct porch access that makes stealing a quick dip in the hot tub before bed a breeze. With access available from the living room as well, this covered porch is furnished with rocking chairs and a classic wooden picnic table. The hot tub is situated in an attached fully fenced open deck with gates for safety, and a cold-water shower rinse off here helps ensure that sand stays on the beach! Upstairs you’ll discover the rest of the home’s bedrooms and bathrooms. The second master suite is positioned directly above the first and also offers a king bed. This attached bath contains a standard tub/shower combo, and the room also provides direct access to the upper open sun deck, which is furnished with both lounge chairs and Adirondack chairs as well as amazing views of the Atlantic. A secondary suite across the hall contains one queen bed and one double bed, and direct access to the same deck space. Both master suites and the secondary suite offer breathtaking views of the sea. An attached standard full bath also offers hall access and is shared with the bedroom next door, which is also furnished with two queen beds. At the end of the hall, the final full bathroom with hall access is shared by two bedrooms that are each equipped with a queen bed. When you’re ready to set up on the beach for the day, you’ll find a dedicated sand path right at the foot of the steps of your covered dunetop gazebo, once again gated for safety and offering classic rocking chairs and built in bench seating. Watch the kids fly kites or build castles on the shore while you sit in shade and comfort! On the ground level of the home, you’ll find an additional rinse off shower, this time with hot and cold water, along with a park style charcoal grill if you care to cook out. Gather the family and escape to your Island Retreat today! Though pets are not allowed for guest stays, those with allergies should note that dogs may be present during owner reservations. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 7 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4.5 bathrooms - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Limited housekeeping ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Tennis - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 2,856 square feet ## Similar properties ![Oceanfront Shared Walkway | Beach/ocean view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100700000/100697200/100697163/d815adc6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean Crest Motel Long Beach - Pool - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 61 reviews £136 includes taxes & fees 4 Mar - 5 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-04&endDate=2026-03-05&selected=100697163&PinnedHotelID=100697163&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121110000/121104400/121104337/836b4f79.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New Listing!

This year we picked Oak Island. We could not have picked a better place to stay. It was so perfect that we are thinking about coming and staying again next year. We always pick a new place to go each year, but this was so perfect we may just come back to the same place! ##### Tiffany F. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ---
