About this property

The Pink cottage on West Beach, water front , short walk to beach

  • The Pink Cottage started as a fishing shack in 1955, the year after hurricane Hazel. In 1968 the 2 bedrooms and a bathroom were added. Also the back porch was enclosed and the kitchen was added including a large deck facing the water. In 2021 the shack was completely renovated and became The Pink Cottage. An enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water was added. The kitchen is fully furnished including a dishwasher. The pink cottage overlooks Montgomery Slough with its tidal creek where at low tide the many species of birds feed, at high tide watch for the dolphins. You may access the Slough at 17th Place West where you can catch your own shrimp, crab, or just explore the marsh with all its abundant life. You can also launch your kayak from this access. You don't have to worry about beach parking - it is just a short walk to the beach.

The house was absolutely spotless and smelled so clean the entire time we were there. The host was quick to respond and answered all questions. Host thought of every little thing that might be needed while staying and it checked every box. The decorations were so lovely and made the cottage cozy and sweet. The view from the back deck was breathtaking as the sun set, and nights rocking by the water were simply peaceful. We truly didn’t want to leave. Would absolutely stay again and will tell friends. Thank you John and Sarah!

Cannot say enough good things about our stay at the Pink Cottage. One of our favorite places we have ever stayed. The views are simply amazing and the house was so clean. Everything we needed was stocked and you can tell so much thought was put into this home. Beach access is walking distance right across the street and we found so many great shells. John and Sarah are so sweet and really made sure our stay was great! This is a little slice of heaven and we cannot wait to come back!

Pink House is great place to stay.

The Pink House has everything you need for a vacation stay and was very clean. The Hosts were helpful and friendly. View was awesome from back deck and, it was just a short walk to the beach. Definitely hope to have a chance to return.

Sweet Cottage

Charming cottage with everything you could possibly need - hosts were responsive to communication and made the Pink Cottage an easy choice for our anniversary weekend. Clean and comfortable, close to everything, could have harvested oysters from the marsh if we wanted to- the hardest part was leaving!

We loved our stay at the Pink Cottage. The location was perfection, the view of the marsh & intercoastal from the back deck was amazing. The house itself was immaculate & had everything you could possibly need. Thank you again for a great stay, John!

Our stay at The Pink Cottage was amazing! It was just what my family needed. The pictures of the cottage don't do it justice. It is so beautifully decorated and clean. The view is so serene and it is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with a very short walk to the beach. It's the perfect place to be for exploring Oak Island. Thank you, John and Sarah for allowing us to be in your home

Second time as good as the first!!

Staying at the Pink Cottage is an island experience you don't get with just any rental. The house is amazing, extremely clean, decorated beautifully and has all the comforts of home. The views from the back looking at the "marsh" is so wonderful and so peaceful. Honestly the walk to the beach is short and super easy which is a plus when not staying ocean front. John and Sarah are great host! Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise with us.

Fabulous Cottage by the Sea

We spent 3 nights here and absolutely loved this place. It is bigger on the inside than it appears outside. It is cozy, charming, well furnished, had quality linens, was impeccably clean, and decorated beautifully. Plus there are stunning sunsets from the back deck where there is also nice outdoor shower. John and Sarah the owners live next door and were extremely helpful and provided kayaks for us to launch from their doc. It was a very short 5 min walk to the beach in a relatively quiet area in OKI. Awesome rental for a small group (4 or less). Highly recommend.

The house was very clean. The beds were pretty hard and the stove and cooking accessories were old and didn’t work the greatest. The owner made several comments about our service dog which I didn’t care for. Said several times “his mother in law is highly allergic to dogs”. I have documentation on the dog and that’s part of being a host is to accommodate that. Owner lives right next door too, so not much privacy as you feel like you’re being watched the entire time.

We had a wonderful stay at the Pink House.The house and furnishings are prettier than the photos and the views of the ever-changing marsh exceeded our expectations. The owners live next door and were available right away if we needed anything, but we still felt we had a private place of our own. The kitchen is very well stocked, including coffee (and decaf). If you want beach chairs and umbrellas you can rent them from a local company, but plan ahead if it’s the busy season, and if you prefer big beach towels, you might want to pack some. There are rocking chairs on the porch facing the marsh where you can relax and enjoy plenty of bird watching. It’s an easy 2-3 block walk down residential roads to get to the beach, which was quiet and absolutely gorgeous. We enjoyed long walks on the beach, and one evening we were lucky to witness tiny hatching sea turtles scrambling into the surf. The Pink House is one of my favorite places we’ve stayed and we hope to return soon.

We had an amazing week at The Pink Cottage. The location was perfect. The inside was so cute and very clean when we arrived. We loved just sitting out on the porch in the rocking chairs looking out over the marsh and watching the sun set every afternoon. Mr. John & Mrs. Sarah are very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back

The Pink Cottage was the most amazing place to stay for our sister’s trip! A quiet morning on the back porch with a cup of coffee was the best way to start the day, and the view of the sunset was just as an amazing way to end the day. Sarah and John were extremely welcoming and were very readily available if it were needed. I would definitely recommend the Pink Cottage and I would love to go back for a second visit!

This little place exceeded our expectations! We had a girls weekend and found the place super clean and attention to detail was executed without fail. Perfect view of the marsh and a very short walk to the beach. We enjoyed ourselves so much and we would like a return visit hopefully this fall. Thank you for sharing your little “Pink Cottage” with us!
