Ocean front cottage


What a view! Take in the ocean views from the sunroom, living room, kitchen, and primary bedrooms. Enjoy the ocean breeze on the spacious deck, rocking in a rocking chair or soaking up the sun on a lounger. There are plenty of toys to make your beach visit easy breezy including boogie boards, beach cart, cooler, beach towels and chairs. Inside there’s an air hockey table, 75” flatscreen TV with a guest Netflix account, Wi-Fi, and plenty of seating to spread out. Comfortable seating for dining or working from the banquet dining table in the sunroom comes with an awesome view of the beach. Lil Salty is a charming and comfortable cottage for most guests and although our bathrooms are on the smaller side, both showers have a detachable shower head wand to make it more comfortable.
Nearby, for your convenience is a King’s Beachware, Publix grocery store, and convenient restaurants including, Pepperoni Grill for pizza, pasta, and salads. Checkout Kai Joe’s taco stand, or for a cold sweet treat there’s Dole Whips at the park!
Oak Island has a lot of amenities including putt-putt, a skateboard park, kids playground, movies and music in the park (seasonal), and so many delicious restaurants. My favorite is Shagger Jacks - their fried chicken sandwich and skinny fries with comeback sauce is a winner!
The beaches at Oak Island are family friendly and welcoming to all! We only ask that you stay off the dunes and do not disturb the sea turtles in nesting season.
Lil Salty loves all people and animals, but asks that you keep your four legged friends at home.

Lil’ Salty = lots of happy!
The moment we arrived, we knew we had made the right choice in selecting Lil’ Salty for our three day getaway. The proximity of the beach and local immensities makes it a perfect stay. A special thanks to property manager Anna. She was outstanding! Prompt to respond and accommodating in every way, made our stay extremely special.

Great spot for a girls weekend
We rented this house for a girls weekend with my mom, sister, and daughter. It was the perfect amount of space for us. We really wanted something on the beach so my mom could have an ocean view without having to go onto the beach, and this did that. The owner was so quick to communicate. And we even got early check-in, which was super helpful. If you are looking for a quick getaway, this place really does have all the amenities you need and is centrally located to everything. It was a perfect mini vacation!

Great Thanksgiving weekend
The house was just perfect for our Thanksgiving weekend. The view was phenomenal and we really enjoyed all the amenities of the house - especially the huge tv and comfortable couch. The hostess couldn’t be nicer and very responsive. We will definitely be back to enjoy more time at Lil Salty!!

Wonderful property
The property was comfortable for our three adults and one child. The beds were very comfortable and clean. Lots of things to do. My son enjoyed learning to play Bocce on the beach with me from the set under the deck. He also spent plenty of time on the boogie boards provided. My family loved getting cozy on the spacious couch in front of the tv watching movies as the cool breeze blew through the back door directly off the beach. Everything we needed to have a great stay was here including a nice little cooler for my cold beverages on the back porch as I watched the waves roll in. We all would definitely come back again. Thanks!
