A Great Place to Stay: Cozy, Dog-Friendly Cottage with Private Pool

All of the best vacations begin with A Great Place to Stay, and you’ve just found it! Located on a quiet neighborhood street just over half a mile from the nearest public beach access and conveniently close to Swain’s Cut Bridge, this comfortable home offers a private pool and allows up to two dogs per reservation.

New for 2024! Enjoy a warm soak on a cool evening with an expanded deck and privacy fence featuring a Dreammaker Comfort 2300L hot tub. This five to six-person hot tub has 23 adjustable jets that target shoulders, back muscles and feet for a massaging hydrotherapy experience. Also, a handy foot wash by the tub steps helps to keep it clean and comfortable for all guests.

Relax on the front porch as you sip your morning coffee and enjoy the island breeze or take your dog for a leisurely stroll on the shaded streets. Just inside the front door, the nautical-themed living room is a cozy place to recoup after a long day on the beach. Two armchairs and a chaise sofa provide plenty of seating space to gather around the large flat screen TV to cheer on your favorite team or watch a movie together.

The fully stocked eat-in kitchen features a sturdy dining table that seats six and everything you need to prepare the catch of the day. There’s even enough counterspace for more than one chef to work if your haul was particularly impressive!

The master bedroom has a king bed and its own wall-mounted flat screen TV with a DVD player for your entertainment. A recliner and lamp create a quiet nook for reading or napping. The attached private bath has a spacious walk-in closet with plenty of storage space and a tub/shower combo.

The second bedroom has a queen bed and is just across from the final bedroom, which has two twin beds. Between these rooms is a full bath with shared hall access and a standard tub/shower combo.

The backyard provides ample outdoor living space and amenities. Fully fenced, kids and dogs can play worry-free while your group gathers around the fire pit for conversation. Cool off in the above-ground pool, easily accessible from the raised decking just outside your back door. A canopy ensures shaded deck space at any time of day, complete with optional screen walls and a ceiling fan to reinforce the sea breeze. There are lounge chairs for sunbathing and additional dining seating for six if you prefer eating al fresco.

When it’s time to hit the sand, you’re only a short three-minute drive from the nearest public beach access, which can also be reached in less than 15 minutes by foot. And once you’ve returned from the beach, an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes cleaning up to explore island dining options or nearby Southport easy and convenient.

Soak in the slower pace of island life and enjoy time with friends and family. Float beneath Carolina blue skies as you listen to the music of rustling oak leaves. Make memories that last a lifetime during an idyllic vacation at A Great Place to Stay!

What an enjoyable experience.
We have a great week! The property was immaculate and fully stocked with everything you could think of. The entire experience was stress free, from making the reservation to check out. We will definitely do this again.

Amazing rental
This home was one of the best rentals we’ve stayed at. This was our first time at Oak Island and will definitely be coming back. The home was very cozy, and pool was just the right temp all week. It had all utensils, pots, pans and dishes to cook with. Location was only a very short drive to the beach. We rented a golf cart and was able to get everywhere we wanted to go and leave our vehicle at the home. Highly recommend this home.

Better than expected!
We loved our stay here! It was immaculately clean. It was the perfect size and perfectly furnished for having a toddler. (We did move some knickknacks.) The kitchen was well supplied. The back deck and pool area was fantastic!! The water was warm enough for the toddler to stay in for a while! The seating there was great! We enjoyed time on the front porch every day. We were fortunate enough to have a light breeze so the temps were perfect. We brought an adjustable baby gate and used it on the front porch at the (few) steps so we also used the front porch as an additional play area. We were lucky enough to have an additional adult (grandmother) with us so she drove the parents and toddler to and from the beach rather than try to find parking. We had been warned that it could be difficult. I think the walk is doable, but not really with a 4 mo old infant and a two yr old in the heat. Driving worked well for us. In the evenings we easily found parking at the beach. This is our first time of not staying right on the beach. It saved us a ton of money. For us and the ages of the children (which affects time on the beach) this was perfect!
