As you exit the stairs, a second living area complete with a kitchenette is located to the left and provides access to the lower deck and pool area beyond. A modest exercise room is supplied off this space, complete with a Peloton bicycle, hand weights and yoga mats, a barre and a full-length mirror, along with your choice of the included TV or the ocean vistas beyond for motivation. The laundry room is just down the hall, featuring a full-sized stackable washer and dryer.

Venturing outside, you’ll find a gas grille available for outdoor entertaining, and you can’t beat the view from the pool and hot tub. Mostly shaded, there are two poolside lounge chairs and additional seating along with a sturdy wooden picnic table here. Your private wooden boardwalk stretches over the wetlands to the sand beyond, ensuring beach access is a breeze. The porches on both levels are furnished with ceiling fans for days when the sea breeze is a bit less enthusiastic. On the upper-level covered porch, you’ll find a comfortable outdoor couch facing the outdoor gas fireplace, along with additional seating facing the waves beyond.

The peaceful, private lot is centrally located on Oak Island, and is only a fast walk to Food Lion, eateries, mini golf and shopping. Located on a side street with extremely limited public beach access parking spaces, you’ll find this is one of the most uncrowded sections of Oak Island’s white sand beach even during the peak of the summer season.
