About this apartment rental
Welcome to Moonshine Creek, a peaceful canal-front retreat tucked beneath the live oaks on beautiful Oak Island! Located directly on the Davis Canal and just two blocks from the Middleton Avenue bridge to the beach, this charming ground-level studio offers a little bit of everything we love about island life—beautiful surroundings, boating and fishing access, peaceful outdoor spaces, and the beach just minutes away.
Perfect for a couple, solo traveler, or small family of up to four, Moonshine Creek offers private ground-level guest quarters that have been thoughtfully furnished and decorated to create a comfortable, coastal-chic space that feels like home from the moment you arrive.
One of our favorite parts of Moonshine Creek is the rear sleeping and sitting area. A comfortable KING bed is surrounded by walls of windows overlooking the lush backyard filled with mature live oaks, palms, flowers, and beautiful landscaping. Wake up surrounded by the natural beauty of the property or settle in at the end of the day and enjoy the peaceful view. It's cozy, romantic, calming, and one of those spaces that just makes you want to stay awhile.
The studio also includes a separate bunk nook with two twin beds and a loveseat, making the space a great option for a small family. You'll find two comfortable sitting areas, a TV, books and games for the family, Wi-Fi, and a gas wall heater that creates an especially cozy atmosphere during fall and winter getaways. An additional window A/C unit is located in the bedroom area for added comfort during our warmer coastal months.
Fresh paint, newer furniture, mattresses, linens, and thoughtfully selected décor give Moonshine Creek a clean, comfortable, updated feel.
A FULL KITCHEN FOR YOUR STAY
The full kitchen makes it easy to enjoy meals at home and includes a gas stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, dishes, glasses, utensils, and the everyday kitchen essentials you'll need to prepare a meal. There is seating for four at the kitchen bar as well as a dining table for four.
WHAT WE PROVIDE
We want packing for your Oak Island getaway to be as easy as possible. Your stay includes fresh linens for the king-size bed and both twin beds, along with bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths.
We also provide antibacterial hand soap in the kitchen and bathroom, dishwasher pods, and starter essentials including trash bags, toilet paper, and paper towels. Wi-Fi is included throughout your stay.
YOUR BACKYARD ON THE DAVIS CANAL
Step outside and you'll quickly understand what makes Moonshine Creek so special. The property is beautifully landscaped with magnificent mature live oaks, hydrangeas, azaleas, palms, and other coastal plantings. Multiple outdoor sitting areas give you plenty of places to enjoy your morning coffee, read a book, relax in the shade, or unwind after a day at the beach.
Guests are welcome to enjoy the grounds, backyard, outdoor shower, covered/enclosed outdoor sitting area, and dock on the Davis Canal.
Love being on the water? Bring your fishing poles and fish right from the dock, launch a kayak or canoe, or bring your boat and tie up at the property during your stay. The Davis Canal provides access to the Intracoastal Waterway and is navigable at low tide. Multiple public boat ramps on Oak Island provide access to the ICW and Davis Canal.
Moonshine Creek provides parking for up to two vehicles, plus an area at the end of the driveway that can accommodate a boat trailer.
Guests planning to fish are responsible for obtaining any required North Carolina fishing license.
BEACH DAYS MADE EASY
When you're ready for the ocean, you're just two blocks from the Middleton Avenue bridge leading directly to the beach. It's approximately a 4-minute bike ride or 10-minute walk, or rent a golf cart during your stay and explore Oak Island in true island style.
We even provide a selection of beach toys for our guests to enjoy. When you return from the beach, rinse away the sand in the convenient outdoor shower before heading inside.
A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR HOSTS
Moonshine Creek is the private ground-level guest quarters of an owner-occupied home. The owners live full-time in the separate upstairs residence, while guests have their own private living quarters and entrance.
The owners truly love this property and love sharing their little piece of Oak Island paradise with others. They're happy to say hello, chat, answer a question, or share a local recommendation—but they're equally happy to give you your space and allow you to enjoy a peaceful, private getaway. How much you interact is entirely up to you!
You may also meet Blue and Crush, the owners' two friendly cats who roam the property. They love attention and don't mind a few pets from their new friends! Please be mindful of them when driving, parking, and coming and going from the property. Blue and Crush are outdoor companions only and are not permitted inside the Moonshine Creek guest quarters.
GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK
Moonshine Creek accommodates a maximum of 4 guests.
There is currently no washer or dryer available for guest use.
A $200 cleaning fee applies to each reservation.
A $500 refundable damage deposit is required.
The bathroom includes a shower, toilet, and sink.
Because Moonshine Creek sits along the Davis Canal, guests should use appropriate caution throughout the grounds and around the dock and water. Children should always be supervised outdoors and near the canal.
The owners have poured an incredible amount of thought, time, and care into this property, and it shows. Moonshine Creek isn't a cookie-cutter vacation rental—it's a special little place with character, beautiful surroundings, and the feeling of being tucked away in your own coastal retreat while still being minutes from the beach and everything Oak Island has to offer.
Whether you're planning a romantic weekend, a family beach trip, a fishing or boating getaway, or simply need somewhere peaceful to recharge, we hope you'll come experience Moonshine Creek on the Davis Canal.
Come slow down, enjoy the water, spend your days at the beach, and make yourself at home in this beautiful little corner of Oak Island.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
We had a wonderful stay at Moonshine Creek in Oak Island! The space was perfect for a couple — very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The king bed was especially soft and relaxing, making it easy to unwind after a day at the beach. The dock on Davis Canal was truly a slice of paradise. Our host was very attentive to our needs and incredibly accommodating, allowing us to go crabbing off the dock and even have kayaks delivered, which made for such a fun and relaxing day. We also loved seeing all the wildlife, beautiful plants, and gardens around the property. It’s also just a short drive to the beach. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful coastal getaway!

Very good impression! Beautiful property! Very clean too! For a family or a couple. Walking distance to beach.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Very clean interior. Lots of places to sit and enjoy the waterway in the backyard. Can easily put in your own kayaks off the floating dock. We didn’t have a boat but we sat on the dock each night to watch the sunset and look at the stars. Easy walk to the beach. Very quiet property. They even had a little care package of snacks and a card waiting for us! Would definitely stay here again!
