Rest A Shored is a beautifully designed 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom oceanfront home ideally located on Oak Island's desirable East Beach. With sweeping Atlantic views, easy beach access, and a pet-friendly policy, this open-concept retreat is the perfect setting for unforgettable island adventures with family and family.

Inside, the first floor welcomes you with a sun-filled living space designed for gathering and relaxing. Sink into the oversized sectional and enjoy movie nights on the large flat-screen TV after a full day of sun and surf. The dining table seats six comfortably, with additional seating for four at the kitchen counter—ideal for family meals, game nights, or lingering conversations over coffee.

The fully stocked kitchen provides everything you need to prepare favorite recipes or fresh local seafood. A convenient laundry nook is also located on this level, perfect for keeping beach towels fresh throughout your stay. Just across the hall is a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. The oceanfront bedroom on this floor features a queen bed, wall-mounted TV, and direct access to the deck—wake up to the sound of the waves just steps away.
Upstairs, a cozy reading nook overlooks the ocean through oversized windows, creating the perfect spot to unwind with a good book. The remaining three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are located on this level, each bedroom equipped with its own flat-screen TV. The primary suite offers a queen bed, stunning ocean views, and a private bathroom with a glass-door shower. The two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a tub/shower combo—one bedroom is furnished with a double bed and a twin bed, while the final bedroom features a twin-over-double bunk.

Step outside and enjoy everything coastal living has to offer. Relax on the partially covered porch, soak in sunset views from the open deck, or lounge in provided outdoor seating while enjoying the sea breeze. Built-in benches, a cold-water rinse station, and an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water make cleaning up after beach days a breeze. A charcoal grill is also available for laid-back family cookouts.
Located less than a mile from Middleton Park, guests can easily enjoy evening concerts, the splash pad, and seasonal events. With convenient access to both island bridges, day trips to Southport or Wilmington are effortless.

Whether you're sipping coffee at sunrise, watching dolphins play offshore, or enjoying time well spent with loved ones (and pups), Rest A Shored offers the perfect balance of comfort, location, and coastal charm.

Plus, your furry friends are welcome, as this home allows up to two dogs. All pet-friendly homes include a $175 fee that covers bringing up to one dog. An additional $50 fee applies if you are bringing a second dog. Please note that dogs are the only pets permitted.
