Before we talk about the home, let’s first discuss the location. There is a reason that this home is ideal for guests who want luxury vacation living. Located at the ideal point between the ocean and the sound, you’ll have ocean or sound vistas from every room. As Oak Island faces south, you’ll experience impressive sunrises over the ocean, and sunsets over the sound. This is the area you’ll want to visit to get the most out of your vacation. Leave your car in the driveway and walk or bicycle to the ocean where fishing, swimming, shelling and basking in the warm sun will have you casual in no time. Or leave from the back of the home and visit the sound, where smaller waves and currents provide the ideal spot for exploring tidal pools, looking for sand dollars and starfish, crabbing or kayaking. The Lonerider, Oak Island’s 5-star rated brewery and restaurant, is just steps away from the home.

Now on to the striking home. Sawyer’s Sandcastle as mentioned is located between the ocean and the sound. It features 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, with stunning vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and huge heated (additional charge), private pool that is ideal for enormous families or groups. You will appreciate the cavernous, peaceful and uncrowded beach directly in front of the home and the spectacular vistas from the two elevated balconies.

The top floor of the home features a master bedroom complete with tray ceilings, king sized bath. The master shower also features a calming “rain shower” shower head. The master bedroom windows provide a handsome view of the sounds and just outside the door is the balcony overlooking both the pool and the sound.

Also on this floor is a huge gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances, recessed as well as chandelier lighting, a sizable dining table and a center island with additional seating. The open floor plan accepts meals to be prepared while conversing with the family and friends gathered in the living room.

Downstairs, you’ll find four more bedrooms and two additional baths. 3 bedrooms include queen sized beds, while the fourth is ideal for the kids. This room has a bunk bed (full on bottom, twin on top), and a single bed. All bedrooms have Roku TV's. Log into your own apps or savor basic cable as well.

Outside, you’ll be sure to enjoy the large pool (which can be heated upon request at an additional charge in the cooler months), putting green to practice those putt-putt skills, fenced back yard ideal for keeping the family pet at home, and a bigger outdoor shower. We also have a charcoal grille. For time on the beach, we have beach chairs, games and the fashionable Shibumi Shade available for your convenience. With plenty of outdoor seating all around, the entire family can enjoy being outdoors, talking, laughing, swimming and making memories that will last for a lifetime.
