About this property
Second Chances: Short distance to the surf!
Our getaway "Second Chances" is yours to enjoy! This is a fun place to soak up the sun, take in the ocean breeze and enjoy all that Oak Island has to offer. This home was moved from Caswell Beach in 2016 (just up the road on the same island). It is the result of blood, sweat, grace, divine intervention along with a lot of luck! We want you to enjoy what we have worked hard to restore. This has been a labor of love for our family. Destined to be torn down due to the value of the land, we were able to connect with the previous owner, house movers, and some wonderful contractors (too may people to thank) that helped us assemble this home in the heart of Oak Island. Now this house has a second chance at bringing folks the joy that only a beach house can accomplish. Oak Island, meanwhile, is one of the few South facing islands so you can see the sun rise and set from the beach! The Oak Island pier is not far and free to the public for walking (pay to fish). Surf, fish, sun bathe, or just sit in sand and take in the refreshing feel that can only be obtained with that ocean air! While you will likely be out and about at the beach we hope you will also enjoy our house. You can even see the ocean...really tiny from the end of the driveway LOL! (not an ocean view house) The home offers many amenities including...

This home was moved from Caswell Beach in 2016 (just up the road on the same island). It is the result of blood, sweat, grace, divine intervention along with a lot of luck! We want you to enjoy what we have worked hard to restore. This has been a labor of love for our family.

Now this house has a second chance at bringing folks the joy that only a beach house can accomplish.
Why they chose this property
Direct beach access (no canal to cross), centrally located (food and shopping very near by), and lots of space to hang out. We almost did not put the house on pilings but we are so glad we did! Even when the weather is foul you can hang out under the house and watch it rain. (The enclosed section under the house is owner storage that is unfinished and not open to guests.) The beach access is a close distance that you can walk or drive! Likewise, Shagger Jacks and The Koko Cabana are just blocks away. They offer great food and beverages.
What makes this property unique
The close proximity to the Oak Island pier is a real plus! Free to walk and the Koko Cabana restaurant is a nice place to eat oceanside. On the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) side of the island you can find the Crab Pier that is a public access dock on the marsh for spectacular views and maybe some fishing at high tide. Bring your kayaks for the public kayak access areas including the very nice launch by the recreation department.
