We found our favorite NC beach town.

Walk to the dock at end of the street to fish or read or launch your kayak to discover the historic intracoastal waterway and end your day watching the sun set over the water.
Oak Island's uncrowded beaches are just a 2 min. drive or 15 min. walk away.

Spend your days appreciating the miles of shoreline or hiking the overlook trails or taking daytrips to Southport or the Fort Fisher Aquarium or Bald Head Island and come back home to your bungalow under the oak trees. Entirely remodeled and designed for a beach vacation you'll want to keep coming back for.

There are beach towels and buckets just inside the front door and chairs and body boards outside the side door. There's a modest cooler in the kitchen for you to take to the beach. After your beach day hang your towels on the retractable clothesline off the deck that hooks to the tree.
There's a cornhole set under the couch and other board games on the coffee table.
There is plenty of hand soap, paper towels, trash bags, etc.
