About this property
Warm and cozy Beach Cottage. 3 houses from beach 5 houses from Middleton Park
No worries about paid parking at Barefoot Bungalow! Super short walk to the beach and Middleton park for concerts , splash pad and Artisans Market!
Are you ready to feel right at home at the beach? Warm and cozy clean and inviting beach cottage with charming decor and outdoor spaces.
This cottage has recently been updated!
New washer/dryer, HVAC, hot water heater, new LVP flooring throughout, new furniture in living room, new bedding, new 1/2 bath, newly updated full bath.
Its a 3 minute walk to the beach for great swimming and fishing. Walk or bike ride to great restaurants and shopping or drive to nearby charming Southport. 7 minute ride to fishing pier.
The space
Peek a boo view of the ocean from this very laid back beach cottage. Master bedroom has a king size bed and a just added half bath. Second bedroom has twin bunk beds and a full. Third bedroom has a queen size bed. We just added a brand new and very roomy outdoor shower and also a half bath in the master bedroom.
Kids toys, DVDs, puzzles and books available for your leisure.
The covered outdoor patio/seating area with bar top is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day at the beach. Edison lights to enhance the atmosphere. Cornhole boards available to pass the time.
Charcoal grilling area in backyard.
Middleton park, just 5 houses from the cottage, has a ball field, tennis courts a skate park and on Monday mornings during the summer months a farmers market is set up with local fruits and vegetables, bakery goods and crafts. Many people are out running, walking and bike riding but there are other activities on Oak Island like golfing, putt putt, kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing, swimming and boating.
Another 2 blocks from the house there is the end of the Davis canal where people love to go fishing or crabbing.
Drive to Southport, 12 minutes away for great restaurants and shopping or take the ferry to Carolina Beach or Bald Head Island. Wilmington is also a great trip, 45 minutes away, with more shopping and restaurants.
Enjoy viewing the deer and all the other wildlife from our deck. We have a little canal across the street and you may see our resident Egret.
When you're ready to hit the beach, just go left out of the driveway to 43rd St (4 lots) and turn left and the public beach access is straight ahead. 3 houses.
This is NOT Myrtle Beach. This is a quiet, relaxing and stress free beach. Enjoy.

About the host
Hosted by Doug and Kerri

Hi! We are Kerri and Doug. We are private hosts now in our 4th season and we are experienced Superhosts. We want your stay to be perfect. We are constantly striving to add to Barefoot Bungalow to make it the best we can for your stay. In our spare time, we are endlessly changing furniture, painting, adding beachy items and decor. We have an extensive referral list from local vendors offering exclusive discounts to our guests from photography to spa treatments to instructional surf fishing tours to kayak and bicycle rentals and more. If there are any suggestions during or after your stay, please let us know! We love the cozy and warm feeling Barefoot Bungalow has and we hope you feel the same.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with it's cozy charm and it's great location to the beach, restaurants and short drive to Southport. We are a very short walk to the beach and Middleton Park which has a splash pad for kids and is the location for all summer concerts/events and the Monday Artisans market. Also attached to the park are tennis and pickleball courts. Walking distance to many great restaurants, beach shops, Publix Supermarket and more. We feel there is no better location on the beach for walkable amenities. Davis Canal ends 2 blocks down on our street. You can fish there, put in a kayak or throw a cast net to catch live shrimp. The canal overflows into a smaller canal across the street from the house where you can catch fiddler crabs or drop in your minnow trap for some additional live bait.
What makes this property unique
Warm and inviting original yet updated beach cottage. We pride ourselves on constantly updating and adding to the amenities as well as making sure our place is sparkling clean. We want you to feel like it's your home!
