Are you craving a really next level vacation experience? Feel as though you’ve booked your own personal resort during your next Oak Island stay at Bird House. Savor modern elegance with pops of coastal flair and sunny color at this handsome East Beach property featuring a private pool.

From the moment you step through the cheerful yellow front door, you’ll appreciate the bright and airy open-concept living area. To the left, a beautiful granite mantel anchors a comfortable seating arrangement. Gather here to stream a favorite movie or savor the ambiance created by the electric fireplace (guests should note that the fireplace is for effect only and does not provide a heating function).

Six cushioned barstools arranged around the center island invite the family to hang out in the heart of the home, the kitchen. Gleaming counters that match the mantel provide plenty of room to prepare meals, although the attached butler’s pantry accepts a more private space and plenty of storage, along with a number of modest appliances. This entirely outfitted gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances will have the chef in your group feeling right at home as they season up the catch of the day or whip up a family beloved recipe. Dine bathed in natural light in the close by dining nook, where a sturdy wooden table seats six comfortably.

Just down the hall, you’ll find a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo, followed by the laundry room. All bedrooms in the property feature a wall-mounted Intelligent TV for personal entertainment. The queen bedroom is decorated in relaxing autumn shades, while the cheerful blue and yellow room features two double beds.

At the very back of the home, the spa-like master suite offers a sense of understated opulence. The extravagant textures of velvet, suede and leather are scattered throughout the space, and accents of deep purple and metallic gold impress without overwhelming. Sink into the broad king bed, curl up on the armchair and ottoman or lounge on the padded window bench – there are no shortage of spots to relax here! If you simply can’t avoid work entirely during your stay, a modest desk is available as well. The ensuite bathroom features his and her basin sinks and an upsized vanity along with a sizable walk-in closet and changing area that also attaches to the laundry room. The step-in tiled shower features two opposing rain shower heads with individual controls.

The master suite also provides direct deck access to the screened-in porch on the back of the home, which guests can also reach from the hall. With curtains to block the sun on too warm days, comfortable seating, a ceiling fan and even a carpet, this outdoor living room can really be appreciated no matter what season you visit. Overlook the lush greenery just beyond the yard, or watch the kids splash in the pool below.

On the ground level, the partially finished garage provides a number of amenities, including a convenient half bath, a modest hangout space with a loveseat and plenty of beach equipment. You’ll also find the fun tiki bar, complete with a second full-sized refrigerator and a roll-up window that accepts access to the pool area for snack and drink pickup. Under the home, a number of cozy seating nooks provide spots for dining, calming or conversation. The enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes rinsing the sand off before hitting the water a breeze! Unwind pool side on the padded loungers or prepare up an entire feast at the outdoor kitchen, located under a shady pergola.

When you’re ready to enjoy Oak Island’s famed beaches, a brief walk takes you to the sand via the 26th Place East beach access in under five mins.. In the evenings, enjoy walking the spectacular crossover at 29th Place East toward the Oak Island Rec Center for some of the most extraordinary sunset vistas on the island and plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities. Rent a kayak or paddleboard and discover the waterways via the public kayak launch point on the other side of the boardwalk. And if you decide to undertake an off-island adventure during your stay, this home’s convenient location makes heading to Southport, Wilmington or even Myrtle Beach simple with simple access to either bridge connecting to the mainland.

Everyone deserves a little luxury in their life! Appreciate the ultimate beach holiday and book your stay at Bird House today.
