If cooking outdoors is your thing, there is a brand new, King Broil, four burner grill in the backyard, awesome grill.

Looking to expand your adventures beyond Oak Island. Historic Southport is only a 15min. drive and has a vibrant main street with many excellent restaurants and shops to explore. If you are craving the city vibe, Wilmington is about a 40 minute drive. Up the adventure and take the Fort Fisher Ferry to get there, it only cost $7/car. Wilmington's international airport is about a 45 minute drive north and Myrtle Beach's International Airport is about 1.5 hours to the south. The island is golf cart friendly. If you want a golf cart during your stay we suggest you rent one when you book your vacation (we hear they can run out), there are several rental companies that service the island.

About the host
Hosted by Dahl Angus
We named our house, Turtleheart, as we are recently retired, empty nesters from NY and the turtle symbolism seems to align with our stage of life. The turtle in Native American culture, and many other cultures and religions throughout the world, represents longevity, endurance, patience, perseverance, and a slow, steady, and mindful approach to life. In Turtleheart on Oak Island we found the perfect spot enjoy this way of life we envisioned. It is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood were we can practice the art of a slow and steady pace of life. Yet, it is only a short walk to all the amenities of a bustling island vacation destination. As we also like to be active and wanted enjoy the outdoors more of the year. We love walking on the beach, kayaking, biking, playing on the beach and in the ocean, and also enjoy an active social scene and trying new restaurants, breweries, and meeting new people.
Why they chose this property
Our house is ideally located on the island. The neighborhood is quiet (mostly second homes, not many other rentals) yet we are only minutes away (walking or driving) to all the amenities we want (grocery store, restaurants, breweries, auto repair, hardware store, shopping, and the beach). The whole island is golf cart friendly.
