If you’re looking for a vacation so relaxing you just might fall Asleep At The Reel, you’ll find it at this gorgeous waterway home with a private dock on Oak Island’s quiet west end, only a five-minute drive from the beach. Sit back and enjoy the island breeze and dappled sunlight from one of the many comfy outdoor nooks tucked around the property or cast your line into the Intracoastal Waterway from your own backyard before cooking up the catch of the day for dinner.
Look out over the glorious waterway view from the comfort of a bright and airy living room, where the large picture window takes center stage. There's also a large Smart TV where you can stream the big game through YouTube TV or log into your own platforms to keep up with your favorite shows. A queen sofa bed is available if extra sleeping space is needed. A fireplace is located on the wall between the living and dining area so you can enjoy the dancing flames on chillier evenings.
The oval dining table seats six, with three bar-height chairs available at the adjacent breakfast bar. The kitchen offers a double sink, stainless steel appliances and plenty of counterspace to prepare meals during your stay. A half bathroom is available off the main living area.
The primary suite offers a king bed and direct access to the elevated back deck overlooking the water, as well as an en suite bathroom with a step-in shower stall. The second bedroom also offers direct access to the deck and is furnished with a twin daybed with a pop-up twin trundle that creates a king bed when engaged.
The final two bedrooms upstairs each are equipped with a small desk or table tucked into the window nook in each room. If you have to bring work or school along from home, at least you can enjoy looking over the water as you complete it! One bedroom offers a king bed, while the other has a queen. A final full bathroom with hall access and a standard tub/shower combo at the top of the stairs is shared between these bedrooms.
In the basement of the home, you’ll find a game room complete with a foosball table, giant wall-mounted connect four game and a card table. A full-size washer and dryer along with a utility sink are also located here, so there’s no need to haul sandy swimsuits or wet beach towels back home with you!
From the game room, walk out to the shady, covered patio underneath the home. Lounge on the padded pallet swing as you sway in the breeze or sit back in the Adirondack chairs and rockers to chat as burgers cook on the provided gas grill.
The grassy backyard stretches to the water, where another porch swing and a classic park bench wait at the edge of the property beside the long private dock. Although docking a larger boat is not recommended due to the high wake zone, the floating dock offers space to tie up kayaks, access the water or throw in your crab pot. There's even a pair of tall chairs which offer amazing views as you sip your morning coffee or a tropical cocktail. A fish cleaning station is also available on the dock, so you can have your fresh catch ready to cook before you even bring it up to the house.
An outdoor dining table is available in the shaded portion of the upper deck, where you’ll notice a final wicker swing and pair of tall chairs positioned to take full advantage of the views, and a pair of padded lounge chairs to take full advantage of the sun while you work on your tan. Sturdy built-in wooden gates at the top of the stairs allow you to take your eyes off the little ones long enough to enjoy the sunset. Enjoy the quiet seclusion and the peaceful vibes of gently waving oak trees and Carolina blue skies reflecting on the Intracoastal Waterway at Asleep At The Reel!
