Enter from the ocean side and imagine yourself sitting at the kitchen table for breakfast, gazing out at the vast Atlantic. This quaint cottage has an amply stocked kitchen to prepare meals from breakfast to dinner. On the deck, you can enjoy dinner while feeling the ocean breeze. Two comfortable chairs and a side table are perfect for discussing the day's finds & planning out the next day. If you’re a fisherman (or visited one of several local fresh seafood markets), you will love to cook your meal on the charcoal grill downstairs. While you’re waiting for your dinner to finish, hang out on the retro swings, and peek over the dunes at the pelicans as they fly over the ocean searching for their dinner. Head inside on cooler evenings to work a puzzle, play a board game or a round of poker, watch one of several movies provided in the drawer or stream your favorite show on the smart tv. With a simple flick of the switch, cozy up with one of the various books or magazines in the warmth of an instant fireplace. Both bedrooms have full-size beds and provide the added privacy and convenience of exiting through sliding glass doors onto the wraparound porch. One bedroom has a full view of the ocean and the other features an illuminating blue neon wave that is as alluring as looking at the crashing waves on the other side. Open the doors and breathe in the salt air. Nap listening to the seagulls, waves and the distant gleeful delights of children building sandcastles. Dream about the day you spent with your toes in the sand sitting in one of the provided beach chairs. Did you play any of the yard games? Giant Jenga, corn hole and yard-sized Connect Four are located in the utility room downstairs. Wash off the sand & salt using the outdoor shower on the deck walkway before heading in for a snack. Full-sized washer & dryer will get your bathing suits & towels ready for fun the next day. The beach awaits you at the end of the short walkway & one of the many “Small Pleasures“ that come with booking this beachfront cottage is that you don’t have to find parking at a beach access because you have your very own!

Everything we needed was at our fingertips and in the very best working condition. We arrived and immediately felt welcomed and happy to be there. My teenage daughter remarked on how clean it was. We came thousands of miles to be close to the ocean and have time together away from the busy of our lives!!!

Thank you very much... ##### Claudia H.

My small children and mother enjoyed this so much. The kids quickly pulled the jaws puzzle down to start as soon as we arrived. The views are incredible and the best thing about the house is the deck. We enjoyed every meal and coffee here. The only thing i have to complain about is the shower head leaks (previous post from June states the same ), shower was pretty small but the pressure worked great. The door to get in was very frustrating as we had to work on it more than we should to get in a few times of course both after night walks on beach (that really could use to be fixed). Everything you need to cook and enjoy yourself is included in this rental so overall a nice stay but hopefully the door will get fixed 😀 ##### Lindsay C. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 14 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Wish it was better I will start this review with something positive. We loved the location. It was right on the beach with its own beach access. That was perfect. Unfortunately, that is all the positive. The place was not clean at all. All the fans were covered in a thick layer of dust as well as the fridge. The bathroom had a heavy pee smell that drifted through the entire house. The shower head was also completely covered in thick green mold and the fixture was very ooze from the wall. The pictures of the patio in the listing are also deceiving. There are no added lights to the porch as listed. The table is also very small compared to the one in the picture. The patio issues were not a huge deal but added to everything else plus we had planned on spending a lot of our time on the patio since the house is very small and the view was nice. And the listing advertised the patio as being a great place to be. I also have pictures of all the issues but there is no way to add them to the review. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen E C. 20 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Property 11/14-11/18 Would highly recommend Small Pleasures as the perfect beach retreat for 1-4 people.....Having said that though, for selfish reasons would prefer this very nice ocean front beach house be kept a secret! Very comfortable, clean house and large deck with part of the deck containing a covered area, so even with a day of rain not a problem.......sat underneath staying comfortable and dry. The kitchen is well equipped whether you want to stay in and cook, or bring food in from any number of restaurants, bakeries, cafes etc., on Oak Island. The inside of the house is nicely appointed with comfortable seating. One bedroom is off the front of the house, and the other is ocean front with the sliding door leading right out onto the covered portion of the deck. I slept in the street side bedroom and was very content......love the neon wave art up on the wall! Ample parking on the street side, could easily fit up to three vehicles with one vehicle parked on the concrete slab under the house. James the property manager was there we arrived and enjoyed spending some time speaking with him. Provided with a "welcome" bag containing bottles of water, a roll of paper towels, two rolls of toilet paper, garbage bag, dish sponge, detergent for a single use of the dishwasher and washing machine, and a bag containing local granola. This was unexpected and much appreciated. Hand soap along with liquid dish washing detergent was on the kitchen sink. Easy access in/out of the house using the lock box mounted right beside the sliding door that leads into the kitchen. Wish we could have stayed longer! Will definitely book this property again, hopefully sooner rather than later. ##### Karen E C.

Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle D. 22 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Plenty of room Although the house was small, it was just right for the two of us. It was super clean, nicely decorated with modern furniture and finishes, and most importantly, close to the beach. Our only complaints are that the beds were full-size instead of queen or king, and the furnace/air conditioning was a little loud in the bedroom. We had an issue connecting to the WiFi at first, and although we figured it out on our own, the rental agency and owner were very responsive when we first reported it and even offered to come fix the issue. I really appreciated that. ##### Michelle D.

Small Pleasures is a perfect little spot to spend time soaking in the sun, listening to the waves and just recharging the soul. Watching the sun rise and set was the frosting on the cake. This was my first visit to Oak Island and I promise it won’t be my last. ##### Susan S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelby S. 24 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Always a great stay!

Quiet and relaxing property with beautiful ocean views. We enjoyed our stay. You may want to hire a new cleaning crew. Dust bunnies and cleaning needs to be done under beds and furniture. ##### Cynthia B.
