About this Property

What a view! Take in the ocean vistas from the sunroom, living room, kitchen, and primary bedrooms. Savor the ocean breeze on the roomy deck, rocking in a rocking chair or soaking up the sun on a lounger. There are plenty of toys to make your beach visit simple breezy including body boards, beach cart, cooler, beach towels and chairs. Inside there’s an air hockey table, 75” flatscreen TV with a guest Netflix account, Wi-Fi, and plenty of seating to spread out. Cozy seating for dining or working from the banquet dining table in the sunroom comes with an magnificant view of the beach. Lil Salty is a striking and comfortable bungalow for most guests and although our bathrooms are on the smaller side, both showers have a detachable shower head wand to make it more comfortable.
Nearby, for your convenience is a King’s Beachware, Publix grocery store, and convenient eateries including, Pepperoni Grille for pizza, pasta, and salads. Checkout Kai Joe’s taco stand, or for a cold sweet treat there’s Dole Whips at the park!
Oak Island has a lot of amenities including putt-putt, a skateboard park, kids playground, movies and music in the park (seasonal), and so many delicious eateries. My favorite is Shagger Jacks - their fried chicken sandwich and skinny fries with comeback sauce is a winner!
The beaches at Oak Island are family friendly and welcoming to all! We only ask that you stay off the dunes and do not disturb the sea turtles in nesting season.
Lil Salty loves all people and animals, but asks that you keep your four legged friends at home.
