About this cottage rental

Located in Saint James, this lovely cottage for $154 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. Nestled in the quiet woods on Oak Island and within street view of the Intracoastal Waterway, Snapper Cottage offers a spacious layout to make your visit as easy, comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Relax on the platform deck under the Oak tree draped in Spanish Moss, or take an afternoon nap on the screened-in back porch. At night, when it's quiet on the island, you can hear the ocean waves in the distance and see millions of stars in the darkness. The living room, dining area and kitchen have an open floor plan. We have a large flat screen TV with a DVD player, along with extended television cable services. We also have with several family friendly movies in our DVD library. You can easily connect your laptop to the TV to stream your own programs on the big screen. If you need to work, there's also a small desk for your use. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare, cook and serve meals. Included in the kitchen: Refrigerator, glass top cooking stove and oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, food processor, and blender. We have stainless steel pots and pans, pyrex baking and serving dishes, serving utensils, knives and cutting boards, a knife sharpener, whisks, spatulas, stirring spoons, spatulas, a colander, salad spinner, corkscrew and a bottle cap opener. There are plenty of plates, bowls, cups, glasses, wine glasses, and silverware. There are two bedrooms, both with memory foam mattresses. We provide sheets, pillows, and quilts. The two beds in the bedrooms will be made up when you get here. Both bedrooms have king sized beds. The sleeper sofa in the living room opens up to a queen size bed, and the cot is twin sized. Sheets, blankets and extra pillows for the sofa bed and twin cot are stored in the Captain's bedroom closet. Both bathrooms are full baths, with a shower and a tub. There is a HE washing machine and dryer in the closet in the hallway. We also provide a set of bath towels and a beach towel for each guest. There are also extra towels in the hall closet for your dog. Your dogs will love our fenced in backyard, and you'll love the ease of letting them out without having to go out with them. We ask that you to clean up your dog's solid waste, along with a $50 pet fee for each dog. We strive to keep the cottage clean and fresh for everyone who visits-including for our guests without dogs. We provide a small supply of paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, and laundry detergent for your stay. We also offer a high chair, booster seat, and step stool for the little ones, along with plenty of games and books. We are located less than a quarter mile from the 14th St NE Veteran's Park on Yacht Drive, which is a great place to have a picnic or to go fishing. There is a small gazebo where you and several others can get out of the sun and relax on the benches. From spring to fall you'll love watching the ships, sailboats, and fishing boats go by. If you're lucky you might spot the occasional dolphin swimming, or possibly one of the smaller cruise ships. Of course, there's the beach. It's a 0.9 mile walk through the nature trail to reach the closest beach access on foot, or a 1.4 mile drive to the closest beach access by car. Don't overlook going through the nature trail over the marshes and Davis Canal. It may be your favorite walk ever! This area has one of the most scenic nature spots on the island, and you can only see it on foot or by small boat. At the beginning of the bridge, there's also another spot to launch your kayak. It's also a fantastic place for watching sunrises and sunsets, along with spotting birds such as pelicans, hawks, cranes and great blue Herons. The water bridge trail cuts straight through and over the marshes of the brackish Davis Canal, between two rows of beach houses and ending at the 9th Place beach access. Finally, our cottage is family owned and operated. We live in Southport and can be easily reached for assistance. We also recommend visiting our associated Facebook page to learn all about what our area offers and the things to do and see here.

House decor was beautiful and the home was clean to perfection. Everything that you would need is provided from the kitchen and activities. The owner was available for any questions and was a great host. This will always be our first choice when returning to Oak Island.

We enjoyed our vacation at the Snapper Cottage. This was our second time staying at the cottage. Melonie is a great host! The cottage is decorated nice. We loved the location and being close to the veteran's park. Our fur baby enjoyed the fenced in yard. We hope to visit again in the future. Debbie

This house was perfect for our family's stay on Oak Island. It was super clean and stocked with everything we needed! Great backyard for our dog! Neighborhood was quiet and nice! Made the walk to the beach twice a day! The distance isn't too bad and the view along the way was beautiful! We were very sad to leave, but hope to visit again in the future!
