About this house rental
The Cottage
This is a 650 square foot cottage on Oak Island, NC — eight minutes on foot to the beach, newly renovated, and cared for by a North Carolina family who wanted it to feel like a place worth coming back to. It's small by design. Two bedrooms, one bath, a kitchen that feels like home, and enough space to actually relax without rattling around in a house too big for the trip you're on. We renovated it ourselves, made decisions we'd want someone to make for us, and stocked it the way we'd want to find it. The diffuser is on the counter. The starter oils are there if you want them.
The Space
The cottage sleeps up to 6 comfortably — ideal for a couple looking to get away or a family who wants Oak Island without the resort price tag. The kitchen is fully equipped for real cooking: not just a microwave and a coffee maker, but actual pots and pans, dishes, and counter space. If you want to do a fish fry after a day at the beach, you can do that here. The living area is open and simple. Good natural light, comfortable seating, and no clutter. Both bedrooms are quiet and comfortable. We didn't cut corners on the beds. The bathroom is updated and stocked with the basics — you won't arrive to find a half-empty soap dispenser and a single thin towel.
The Beach
Eight minutes. That's it. It's a flat, easy walk — you don't need a car to get to the water. Oak Island has some of the most uncrowded beaches on the North Carolina coast, which is part of why we love it. It's not Myrtle Beach. It's not packed with jet skis and beach vendors. It's quiet, wide and relaxing.You'll find your own stretch of sand. Kids can run. Couples can walk. The water is warm in the summer and the sunsets are something you don't want to miss.
Oak Island is also within easy reach of Southport — a small historic waterfront town about ten minutes away. Good food, local shops, a ferry to Bald Head Island if you want a day trip. It's the kind of place that surprises people who've never been.
The Location
Oak Island sits on the southern coast of North Carolina, about 45 minutes south of Wilmington. If you're flying in, ILM (Wilmington International) is your airport. The island itself is residential and unhurried. No high-rises. No chain restaurants crowding the waterfront. Most of what you'll find here is local — seafood shacks, ice cream shops, a few good breakfast spots. Grocery stores are a short drive. The cottage is positioned so that you can walk to the beach, walk to a few nearby spots, and leave the car parked most of the day if you want to.
What We've Stocked
We didn't want you to arrive and immediately have to run to the store for basics. Here's what you'll find: Fridge has a couple cold waters and a few soft drinks/bubbly water. The kitchen has cooking oil, salt, pepper, hot sauce, regular and decaf coffee, coffee filters, K-cups, a few dishwasher pods, and a couple laundry tiles. Paper towels, dish soap, new sponge and new stainless steel scrubber.
Towels and linens are provided. We provide 8 oversized towels, 8 hand towels and 8 washcloths. Makeup towels are also provided.
The Young Living diffuser in the main living area is yours to use. We've left a few starter oils — lavender, peppermint, and lemon. Run it while you unpack. It makes the place feel like yours faster than anything else we know to do. Add 2 drops of each oil to the diffuser for our favorite scent.
A Few Notes:
We run a clean, honest listing. Here's what that means practically:
Check-in is at 4 PM. Check-out is at 10 AM. We keep that window tight because our cleaning crew needs it — and because the next guests deserve the same clean cottage you arrived to. We ask that you treat the place the way you'd want someone to treat yours. No smoking on the property. No parties. Let us know if something breaks — we'd rather fix it than have you work around it. Pets are not allowed. Maximum occupancy is 6 guests. The cottage is built for a small group and works best that way. Parking space for 2 cars.
Why We Built This:
We're Adam and Mollie Flasch — a North Carolina family of six, rooted on the same piece of family land for six generations. Chinkapin Hill NC is our social brand. When we're not homeschooling, raising our four kids, or working on our home, we're building a life that's grounded in faith. This cottage is a piece of that. We renovated it ourselves, chose every piece of furniture with care, and stocked it the way we'd like it for our family. It's a place we hope you'll feel welcome in — not just comfortable, but genuinely cared for. We pray for every family that stays here. Before your trip, we ask God to give you rest, real connection, and a few long, good days by the water. That's not something we say to fill a page — it's something we actually do.
We hope you visit again and again!
