About this cottage rental



An exclusive private and tranquil waterway cottage so close to the beach you can hear the waves breaking along the shoreline. This 1 bedroom, 1 bath Craftsman-style guest house is on a unique 5-acre marsh front property with a private pier to a deck and kayak dock. The unrivaled views of the coastal wetlands along Montgomery Slough, plentiful wildlife and remarkable sunsets will leave you wanting to come back year after year.

This vacation get-away is unlike any other on Oak Island. Among the many features of the open floor plan are a fully-stocked gourmet kitchen w/ stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, central A/C, cable TV, a 51" flat screen HDTV, and wireless internet. Full-size stacked washer/dryer, H/C outdoor shower with changing area, covered entry, carport for 1 car, ground-level storage and patio w/gas grill. Linens, towels and departure cleaning provided. Kayaks, bicycles and beach chairs are included for your pleasure.

A wonderful couple's retreat and a perfect setting for birders and wildlife enthusiasts. It's just a five-minute walk to the beach to enjoy a day in the sun. Relax on the private deck overlooking the wetlands and take in some bird watching - more than 200 species of birds inhabit the island each summer. Take a peaceful kayak paddle off the dock or a bike ride around the island. Treat yourself to a round of golf at the Oak Island Country Club. It's a short walk to Ocean Crest Pier or to Island Way Restaurant for oceanfront dining. Drive to nearby Southport and ride the ferry to Bald Head Island or historic Ft. Fisher. Wilmington is less than an hour's drive away.

At least one day, take the time to go to the beach to watch the sun set in the West before you come back to the guest house to relax and plan your tomorrow. Step outside and find a constellation or two or three.

Beautiful home and wonderful location on Oak Island. Property was as described and loaded with extra features- we will definitely return!

The house was immaculate and very spacious. The location is nice and quiet which was a plus for us. We loved the view of the marsh yet it was a just a short walk to the beach. Our host, Gerry, has just about anything you could want to enjoy your stay, including kayaks and well maintained bikes. We booked our return visit almost immediately after checking out.
