A Shore Thing

Cute beach cottage in great location on Oak Island. Newly renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bath house sleeps 8. Nice large deck on side of house with grill. Deck extends to back where there is a fenced backyard with firepit area. Enjoy a game of cornhole or watch movies on wifi TVs. The house has queen in master, twins in second bedroom and trundle in front bedroom, as well as queen sofa bed. Well stocked kitchen so cooking is a breeze and a large pantry for plenty of storage.

The house is in short walking distance to the beach, numerous restaurants, grocery stores, gift shops, donut/ice cream shop, ABC store, intercostal waterway, nature park and picnic pavilion at ICW park, plus a dock 3 blocks away to launch kayaks and boat or do some fishing. Also in walking distance to kids water park, mini golf and Middleton park (which features live outdoor concerts, movie nights and festivals regularly throughout the summer), tennis and basketball courts and playground.

If you want to rent a gulf cart to get around, those are available 3 blocks from the house. Southport is a 10 min drive and has a great downtown area with shops, antique mall, brewery, wine stop, waterfront parks and great waterfront restaurants. NC Aquarium is close (15 min ferry from Southport to Ft Fisher). Bald Head Island ferry can also be taken from Southport. The waterfront in historic downtown Wilmington is a 30 min drive, as well as USS North Carolina Battleship, which is open for tours.

Walk the beach at the Caswell end of the island and see our lighthouse, enjoy gulf on the island, plenty of water craft rentals (kayaks, paddle board, canoes, boats), water tours are available from several places in Southport. Walk the Point at the west side of the island where the intercoastal meets the ocean and see our amazing sunsets. Throw your fishing line in the ICW or into Davis Canal. Great location for cycling as well.

A wonderful spot for our writing retreat
My friends and I couldn't have been happier with our stay at A Shore Thing. The three of us enjoyed our private bedroooms and the shared living room and outdoor patio were perfect for our get togethers. Cooking was fun and easy because the kitchen was so well equipped. We appreciated the fancy coffee machine and the little snacks that were left. We loved the five minute walk to the grocery store and the beach. The neighborhood was calm and peaceful. Definitely a five star visit! I would like to return with my husband.

Quiet, family vacation
The pictures online really don’t show how beautiful the home truly is . well decorated comfortable the beds were comfortable. Everyone had their own quiet little location outside was awesome. Our family barbecued for Easter weekend and we had wonderful family time. The beach is very close by. You have Variety of places to go eat whether it’s seafood or ice cream it’s in an extremely good location whether you want to walk bike ride or drive your car . Ms. Bernice thought about everything there was nothing in the home that was missing and inclusive of an extremely well stocked kitchen . anytime I contacted Ms. Bernice just with a general question, she responded almost immediately. We highly recommend her home and will be repeated guest. 😊 Thank you!

Perfect stay!
Just spent the weekend with a group of girlfriends, and the house was perfect! Everything was so clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. We really appreciated all the amenities, including a bowl of yummy snacks. The outdoor deck area was super relaxing and we enjoyed one of our nights around the fire pit. Bernice was very responsive as a host and we would not hesitate to stay at this property again.

A great place to stay at Oak Island
I could not have asked for a better place to stay with my family. We were only there three days and it rained part of the time. The place made the rain a little more acceptable. When the rain left we enjoyed the beach and some of the local attractions. More than enough kitchen stuff to prepare our meals there. Would stay again in the future.

Beautiful Home, Extra Touches, Great location!
Bernice has created such a lovely home!!! The sheets were the softest, the bed extremely comfortable. What we loved so much was the extra things, from the beautiful decorative touches, to the snacks and coffees she has for her guests to the games, boogie boards, bags and more!! She made her beautiful home feel like our home (well, maybe even prettier!!!) thank you for the lovely stay! We would absolutely stay with Bernice again!!

Perfect family home!
Hello, our stay here was excellent. It is a lovely craftsman style home with simple clean decor and an excellent layout. There is more space than appears online and at initial arrival! The outdoor space was lovely as well, we enjoyed a grilled dinner and games on the deck. Also the outdoor shower is perfect after a day of sand and sun before going inside. The walk to the beach is very short, maybe 5-7 min depending on the individual, heat is the only downfall, and that can't be blamed on the property owner. All in all 5+ stars, would definitely recommend!

Perfect little house
My family of 4 just stayed here for our summer vacation. It was the perfect size for us. Everyone was comfortable. The house is very tastefully decorated. Living room furniture was comfortable. Master bath was bigger than mine at home. The host was attentive to any questions I may have had. Oh, and the outdoor space!!! I had coffee out there every morning.
