Step back in time and experience the timeless charm of Kickback Cottage, a beloved family retreat that stands as a living testament to resilience and history. This extraordinary home is one of the few on Oak Island to have weathered the wrath of Hurricane Hazel in 1954—a powerful Category 4 storm that forever shaped the landscape of the Carolina coast. While Hazel’s devastating winds and waves claimed much of the area, Kickback Cottage endured, its sturdy structure a symbol of strength amidst the storm’s fury. Today, it offers guests a rare chance to experience an authentic piece of Oak Island history, preserved in its original, timeworn state. From creaky floors to salty sea breezes drifting through open windows, every detail invites you to slow down, unplug, and connect with the island’s storied past. Sleeping up to 16 guests, Kickback Cottage is an ideal getaway for large families or groups seeking a meaningful escape. Its ground floor is a hub of fun and relaxation, featuring a bar space perfect for evening gatherings, a pool table, ping pong, and bikes for exploring the scenic island. Whether you’re strolling the beach, cycling along quiet coastal roads, or simply unwinding on the deck, this home invites you to embrace the slower pace of life that Oak Island is known for. Beyond the cottage’s walls, Oak Island offers endless adventures. The nearby beaches, with their soft sand and gentle waves, are perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and beachcombing. History enthusiasts can visit the iconic Oak Island Lighthouse and reflect on the island’s storied past, while anglers will enjoy casting a line from the pier or booking a fishing charter to explore the rich coastal waters. Golfers can tee off at the local course, enjoying breathtaking views of the Atlantic. Just a short drive away, the picturesque town of Southport offers charming boutiques, antique stores, and waterfront dining that showcases the area’s famed fresh seafood. Nature lovers can kayak through the island’s serene marshes or explore local parks with trails teeming with native wildlife. Keep an eye out for sea turtles, a cherished part of the coastal ecosystem. As the sun sets, return to Kickback Cottage, where its legacy of endurance and hospitality awaits. Prepare a family meal in the kitchen, share stories of the day over drinks at the bar, or gather in the cozy living spaces for a movie night. The enduring spirit of this home, paired with its warm and inviting atmosphere, makes it a place where memories are not just made but cherished. Kickback Cottage isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s a piece of Oak Island’s history and a celebration of its strength and beauty. Come be a part of its story and create your own unforgettable chapter on this remarkable island. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Billiards/pool table - Table tennis - Water sports equipment ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Garden - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Unit size: 4,344 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92720000/92717800/92717719/314799a9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Steps to the Beach, Pets - OK, Private Pool, Beach Towels, Chairs, Buggy Yaupon Beach - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=92717719&PinnedHotelID=92717719&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27570000/27560700/27560660/1df965ed.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Clear for Take Off: Glorious Marsh Views, Easy Beach Access Caswell Beach - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=27560660&PinnedHotelID=27560660&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121770000/121770000/121769976/6c413ef8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### One Block to Beach+Water Views+Perfect Family/ Group Getaway+Large Outdoor Space Carolina Beach - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=121769976&PinnedHotelID=121769976&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/87000000/86290000/86285200/86285129/ebf99edc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Surf Shack BHI; 2BR beach cottage on East Beach!

No matter where we have stayed there are always a thing or two that need to be fixed or could be better. The owner was quick to respond to a couple minor issues we had. The space was great for my wife and I, our grown kids and our grandkids. Being right on the beach was so convenient. Beach was never crowded and was actually very open. ##### Barry L.
