This is a great place to stay near the beach. It isn’t beachfront, but in a very nice, quiet neighborhood, about 5 minut...

About this property

Brightside - 3 Minute Drive to the Beach!

***Now Booking for Summer 2024***

Introducing Brightside, located one block from the intracoastal and just a stone's throw from the beach, you'll enjoy hearing the calming sound of ocean waves while relaxing on the front porch swings and deck chairs.

Inside there are three bedrooms and two full baths, with an open floor plan connecting the spacious living room and eat-in kitchen. With a gated porch and a fenced-in backyard, little ones and pets can play safely indoors or out.

There is a king-sized bed in the main bedroom, which is equipped with its own Roku TV and full bathroom. The second bedroom features a comfortable queen-sized bed, while the third bedroom is ideal for kids and teens with a single-over-double bunk bed and a trundle bed that pulls out from underneath.

The laundry room has a washer/dryer, and a second full bathroom nearby. Clean bed linens are provided in all rooms and will be neatly folded and placed on the beds prior to your arrival.

The front of the house has a large gated porch with two porch swings and three patio chairs, and is cooled by two large ceiling fans. The house is pet-friendly (with a two-dog limit) and pets are given easy access to the fully-fenced backyard. The driveway offers ample parking, and doubles as a pickleball/badminton court (net, rackets etc are included). The side yard offers additional parking and a nearby hose, convenient for boaters. The backyard also has a charcoal grill available for your use, and a second hose near the side entrance, helpful for rinsing off sand after a day at the beach.

Your stay also includes free use of beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler, a Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker, and a beach umbrella. The living room features a Roku TV with local TV channels and sign-in access to your Netflix, Prime, Disney, and Hulu accounts. Music fans will love the Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker, with AM/FM radio and the ability to sync with both iPhone and Android. The house also offers excellent WIFI. You'll access the house by entering your unique door code into the smart lock, while a single external security camera provides additional security. The entire house is yours during your stay, except for one closet locked for the host's access only. Have questions? Send us a message; we'd be happy to answer.

Perfect Beach Getaway

This is a great place to stay near the beach. It isn’t beachfront, but in a very nice, quiet neighborhood, about 5 minutes from the beach. There is plenty of beach public access parking for vehicles or golf carts. The house was very clean, with everything we needed and more. There were plenty of sand chairs, and toys for the kids (big and little). That saved us a lot of room packing! Two bathrooms, so easy for everyone to clean up for dinner after a day in the sand. Plenty of space to move around, even with 8 and a Doodle. And a very responsive and considerate host! I would say it was Perfect for our family!

Lovely Oak Island Getaway

Really enjoyed our long weekend. Nice house & well stocked. Fenced backyard and enclosed front veranda is great for the dog. Neighborhood is very dog-friendly. Traffic is mostly golf carts driving around. It's a short drive to the center of Oak Island, the Lighthouse & the Fort. We had some wonderful fresh fish at Swain's Seafood. Highly recommend that. We hope to return & visit more of the island as well as the beach next time.

About the host

Hosted by Brendan

We moved to North Carolina in 2017, and visited many of the local beaches before we "discovered" Oak Island. What a find! We love the Oak Island beaches, the local history, and the proximity to Southport, which reminds us of the beach towns we frequented growing up.

Why they chose this property

It's a great location with a lot to do. The Town of Oak Island offers 12 miles of beautiful beaches, as well as numerous amenities including restaurants, golf, tennis, basketball, splash pad, dog park, picnic area, boat launches, and public docks. The proximity to historic Southport is an added bonus, with more great restaurants and local history to explore. And the aquarium in Fort Fisher is just a $7 ferry ride for a fun day trip as well.
