Walk to Beach • Hot Tub • Pool Table • Ideal for Long Stays
Welcome to your peaceful place at the beach. This thoughtfully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on Oak Island is just 2.5 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean—an easy walk past Middleton Park with its playground, splash pad, and green spaces. Whether you’re here to relax, work remotely, attend a nearby wedding, or settle in for a longer stay, this home offers comfort, calm, and true coastal charm. Inside, you’ll find a clean, minimal design created for both rest and everyday living. The home comfortably sleeps six with one king and two queen beds. Enjoy fast Wi-Fi for remote work, smart TVs, a washer and dryer, and welcoming spaces to unwind. The pool table offers relaxed entertainment, while the covered front and rear porches invite morning coffee and evening conversations. Step outside to a fenced yard and a private hot tub—perfect for winding down after beach days or busy work schedules. The quiet, family-friendly neighborhood is ideal for couples, professionals, snowbirds, and wedding guests seeking a calm and respectful environment. This location is especially convenient for traveling professionals and extended stays, with easy access to Southport, Leland, Bolivia, and the surrounding areas. Guests attending local weddings or events also love the walkable beach access and peaceful setting. Please note the property layout: This is a shared property. A separate tiny house is located on the same lot, and our office is situated at the rear of the main house with its own exterior entrance. All guest living spaces are fully private and reserved exclusively for you; however, the buildings are closer together than some properties. Guests seeking total seclusion may prefer a standalone home. For easy island living, an optional 6-passenger golf cart is available for an additional fee with a separate agreement. We take pride in maintaining a clean, respectful, and well-cared-for home. You’ll find a welcome letter inside with helpful information and a few house-care notes (including our preferences regarding sand in the house and hair in bathroom drains) so everything stays comfortable for you and future guests. This is not a party house—it’s a place to slow down, breathe in the salt air, and enjoy Oak Island at a gentle, restorative pace. Whether you’re staying for a weekend, a season, or something in between, we look forward to welcoming you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was immaculate with plenty of room. Very convenient to the beach. Easy to locate with good food nearby as well as grocery store. We would rent again.
We had a great time staying at the Island House. It is the perfect location near the main street in Oak Island and near everything you need. The property is cute and clean. Latane was a great host. I would definitely stay again.
This is the home to stay in on Oak Island! It is beautitful, modern and spacious. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach. Latine is the perfect host, she knows the area well and is available to help in any way. We would definitely stay there again.
It was nice to enjoy the hot tub on this cold winter night. The house is well appointed. We would love to stay again!

Great place and loved the king size bed in master. Hot tub was nice at nice. The front porch was great to seat and drink coffee in the morning. Close to everything down in Oak Island. Great color schemes inside. Owner was available for anything we needed.
House was very clean and comfortable. Close to everything but still quiet and peaceful. Latane is super nice and very welcoming. Nice pool table if that’s your thing. Would definitely come back.
We had a fantastic week. Property is close to everything. We walked to the beach every day but there is plenty of parking if you have kids in tow! Publix, Dollar General, and several restaurants to walk to. Latane is a super host!
My partner and I stayed here for the Oak Island Marathon race in February. The place is immaculate. We always look for a pool table and hot tub if we can find them and this place definitely delivered. The pool table room is amazing. We did have an unfortunate noise incident with a dog in the tiny house out back, but the owner made sure it was taken care of and communicated with me professionally and thoroughly. We'll definitely be looking to stay here again.
The place is great! Everything is so much better than the pictures online. My wife said I did good when I picked this one. The host was very friendly and was really helpful with all questions. I give this place 10 stars. My friend's and family will definitely be returning.
The house is great for my family stay. Very convenient location in walking distance to the beach, grocery store, ice cream shop and restaurant. The house is comfortable and we had fun with the pool table. The outdoor shower was great to wash off the beach sand. The only downfall was the hot tub was not warm enough. You might inquire about that if that's a must for your stay.
Thank you for the great beach weekend!
Everything was wonderful. Wish i could give 100 star rating. Latane was friendly, and flat out the best we ever rented from. Answered any and all questions promptly, gave suggestions on where to dine and local hotspots. Even quizzed our children on ocean safety. The house was amazing, the neighborhood was wonderful. Will definitely rent from Latane again.
Latane, The Fabulous Host At The Beautiful Beach House!
Two sisters and a close friend spent nine days at Latane's beautiful beach house. It is one block from the Publix grocery store, BBQ restaurant and three blocks to the park and the beach. The house is cheerfully decorated with a beachy vibe and and has all the items you need (kitchen, linens, beach towels, etc.). There is a sunny recreation room with a pool table, which we enjoyed. The kitchen and living room are one large space so that everyone can hang out together. There is a hot tub and the front and back porches are covered with seating -- great for coffee in the morning and wine at night! Latane is so responsive if you should need anything and a delight to get to know. We had a fabulous time on Oak Island, poking around Southport and taking the ferry over to Bald Head Island. We definitely plan to return again soon. We highly recommend Latane's abode!
Latane was a very welcoming , friendly & helpful host. The IH is close to restaurants, 49th St beach access & neighborhood is quiet—great for walking, biking & running. For those not keen on those activities, Latane has a very nice golf cart for rent—perfect for exploring Oak Island. Would stay here again! Thank you!
Latane and Keith were the best hosts! The house was perfect for our family of four! Renting the golf cart along with the house was a plus! Thanks again for everything!
This was a perfect getaway. A comfy home and lovely host. We had everything we needed. My daughter said it was her favorite birthday! Thank you for sharing your home. We would definitely book again.
The property was great, exactly as pictured, clean and close to the beach and shopping. We had an awesome time. We will definitely stay there again. Latane was wonderful to deal with. Thanks again.
