-- THE PROPERTY --
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed / Bedroom 2: Queen Bed / Bedroom 3: 2 Twin Beds / Bedroom 4: Queen Bed
Nestled on the scenic shores of Central Oak Island, "Windrift" offers a unique East Coast beach retreat ideal for a large family or group of close friends. With an open floor plan, everyone can join in the conversation or retreat to one of the 4 private bedrooms. This cottage has a recently updated interior, plenty of nautically themed decor, and lots of comfortable furnishings to make you feel right at home!
Start your morning on a healthy note with a brisk walk or jog along the ocean! After your morning walk, relax beneath the vaulted wood beam ceiling in the living room and enjoy a morning cup of coffee watching the sunrise while your loved ones roll out of bed.
The well-equipped kitchen boasts all of the cooking essentials along with a dishwasher and disposal to make clean up a breeze! Enjoy your culinary creations inside at the breakfast bar or the kitchen table, or bring them outside to the picnic table on the beach deck to listen to the tide while you dine.
There's no better place for an afternoon glass of sweet tea or wine than the back deck at "Windrift". Oak Island is particularly unique because it faces south and allows you and your travel companions to watch BOTH sunsets and sunrises! Run down to the beach for a refreshing swim and then rinse off with the private-enclosed outdoor shower before coming in for the evening.
Before you call it a night, relax on the cozy living room sofa and end the day by watching your favorite movie on the flat-screen TV in the living room. Make yourself comfortable on one of the 3 queen beds or the bedroom with 2 twin beds and rest up for another day in paradise!
-- THE LOCATION --
Oak Island is known for its laid-back reputation, local attractions, pier, and is perfect for families or people looking for a relaxed vacation. There are plenty of delicious local restaurants around the island, and some local hots spots include Island Way, Swain Seafood Shack, Shagger Jacks, and Turtle Island Restaurant. It's never a boring time when you walk down to the scenic Ocean Crest Pier!
The Town of Southport is only a 13-mile drive from your door and a quintessential coastal fishing village you need to experience. Spend your time browsing through the local art galleries, antique shopping or take a shot at crabbing along the Inter Coastal Water Way. Dine along the water down at Yacht Basin, rock in one of the many chairs or swings watching the big ships pass by.
Southport also offers ferries to Fort Fisher and Bald Head Island if you want to adventure off the mainland! Bald Head Island has a lighthouse and some gorgeous views of the coast while Fort Fisher is home to the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.
Some other options for fun include golfing at one of the local courses (Oak Island Golf Club and Lockwood Folly Country Club are great), driving south to Myrtle Beach for a day of outlet shopping, visiting Broadway at the Beach, or take a ride on the SkyWheel.
Fishermen absolutely love spending the morning casting their lines off the Ocean Crest Pier to try and reel in lunch. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for dolphins and other fish playing in the ocean while you fish!
