Nestled between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Beach, Shoal Sisters is a perfect choice for a vacation that is not battered by ocean winds and sand, but quietly perched in a family neighborhood. A two-minute drive (or one-mile walk) will have you at the oceanfront in a flash.  If you prefer to walk, we are just a few blocks from the beach walkover and the Oak Island Recreation Center! Our neighborhood is a jogger and dog walker’s dream: the well-marked walkway at SE 31st Street provides a town kayak launch for the Davis Canal and a great view of the center of the island, not accessible by car. This is our favorite area to catch a great sunrise/sunset around the marshlands and to check out a lot of waterbirds. There is a secondary walking path at SE 20th, so there is potential for a longer loop for the runners in your group!  Lush landscaping and a wonderful backyard make this a private coastal retreat. Roast s'mores in an outdoor fire, walk your furry friend down the friendly street, or cozy up inside our open living space. With an oversized primary bedroom suite and two large, comfy bedrooms sharing their bath, you will have plenty of sleep time privacy. One-story living with only a few steps to the front porch, Shoal Sisters is perfect for travelers who need to avoid stairs.  Ground Level: This is a one story home with only four steps up to the entry.

Things To Do: Oak Island is known for its golden sand beaches, calming blue waters, friendly community, and proximity to the cities of Southport, Wilmington, and Myrtle Beach. There are many cute island coffee shops, stores, breweries, and a park that showcases a splash pad for summer fun! With a beautiful Golf Club open to summer travelers and over 100 public water access points, there is an abundance of all things adventurous to do on Oak Island!  If you'd like to keep your fitness routine going while on vacation, you can get an out-of-town Gym pass at Oak Island Recreation Center. Utilize the Rec Center's ample parking, put in at the Kayak ramp, and spend hours kayaking our beautiful marshes.  Sit on the lawn and enjoy a night off cooking at our Weekly Friday night "Summer Concert In The Park" with a couple of local food truck options at this family-centric Live Music event. Beach Day takes place in Oak Island on the Friday before July 4th and features all-day activities followed by fireworks on the island that evening. Visit Historic Southport, a seafaring town just five miles from our island, for a bigger nightlife. Southport, at the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, features a variety of different restaurants, bars, live music and shopping. It is one of our favorite places to walk around and check out different food and live music on the weekends. There are free parking options all over town, and you can easily walk to dozens of places while enjoying the breeze from the riverfront and admiring historic homes and general store buildings that date back to the early 1800s. Southport's State Fourth of July Festival is a three-day street fair with artists from all over the state, vendors, and food. It is truly like being in an Andy Griffith episode with the parade and grand finale fireworks show over the riverfront in Southport. We look forward to your visit! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Firepit - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the sea - On a river ### Things to do - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing 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) - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96080000/96075700/96075650/f5ef7511.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wonderful Dog Friendly Beach House w/ Fenced in Back Yard and Amazing Game Room Long Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.8 Excellent 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=96075650&PinnedHotelID=96075650&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27140000/27130600/27130554/fc903e98.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sis’s Cottage - Southport, NC Southport - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 269 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=27130554&PinnedHotelID=27130554&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/54000000/53410000/53403000/53402989/1b8a9b7a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sun&Fun360 Unit B, 2nd Row East, Sunrise Ocean Views Long Beach - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 8.6 Excellent 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=53402989&PinnedHotelID=53402989&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100330000/100321100/100321039/143c7aba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 Lil' OKI's / 223 NE 60th Street - Coastal Vacation Resorts Long Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 94 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=100321039&PinnedHotelID=100321039&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113740000/113735300/113735299/w945h683x40y0-dba2772a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New Spacious 3BR/2.5BA Beach House Oaks way - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.8 Excellent 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=113735299&PinnedHotelID=113735299&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78150000/78142000/78141935/23e02f00.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dog Friendly Cottage w/ Large Fenced in Backyard - Close to Beach Long Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=78141935&PinnedHotelID=78141935&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99200000/99194600/99194578/c7a270db.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Bigger Catch Supply, NC ICW Best Fishing Hole In Brunswick County NC!!!!
