This peaceful location is ideal for a vacation. Cyclists can appreciate an invigorating ride on the beach. Runners will like the ideal compacted sand. You can swim, ride waves, or simply sun-bathe. Do yoga on the porch, inhaling the intoxicating ocean breeze. Fix your favorite foods in the kitchen with its spectacular view!

The home provides access to multiple diverting attractions. Walk to Caswell Beach, a natural turtle sanctuary with more than 55 turtle nests. Appreciate the island's many friendly eateries. Bicycle to a lighthouse you can climb. Drive to the gorgeous oceanside village of Southport. Take the ferry to Bald Head Island or Fort Fisher and the Aquarium. Shop in Wilmington or close by Myrtle Beach.

For the most marvelous location, there’s a restaurant right at our pier called Koco Kabana. It’s Oceanview and very good food. For Thai food we recommend Thai By The Sea-take out only. It’s just a few blocks away from the home. For great Italian food we recommend numerous eateries but probably Joseph’s the most. It’s on the intercoastal right by the boat docks. For a great clean grass fed steak we recommend Traquil Harbor-they delivered our dinner to our door yesterday and it was definitely delicious. It’s across the street from the Food Lion and not fancy but great vegetables and food. Duffers is at the Oak Island Country Club, is delicious and only 2 mins. away. We would also highly recommend you going to Southport for numerous spectacular eateries there that are very “hole in the wall” but completely classic. That would include Fishy Fishy, Provisions, Mr. P. and Oliver’s. This is for the local seafood. And, plan on walking around the older parts of Southport because it is really beautiful. Many older homes have survived all the hurricanes for some striking reason. And it’s charming.

Finest of all, savor some healing relaxation in this glorious natural setting. Make this special ocean-side bungalow your vacation choice today! This home if for calming beach lovers.
