This unique beach cottage on Oak Island offers a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean from every room! You will notice there are no neighbors or structures between you and your private ocean backyard for 180 degrees! From the wrap-around porch, you can see nearby Bald Head Island, plus the Oak Island Lighthouse and Oak Island Pier - all at one breathtaking glance.
This peaceful location is perfect for a vacation. Cyclists can enjoy 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 house provides access to several diverting attractions. Walk to Caswell Beach, a natural turtle sanctuary with more than 55 turtle nests. Enjoy the island's many friendly restaurants. Bike to a lighthouse you can climb. Drive to the charming seaside village of Southport. Take the ferry to Bald Head Island or Fort Fisher and the Aquarium. Shop in Wilmington or nearby Myrtle Beach.
For the most amazing 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 house. For great Italian food we recommend several restaurants 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 absolutely 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 minutes away. We would also highly recommend you going to Southport for several amazing restaurants there that are very “hole in the wall” but totally 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 charming. Many older homes have survived all the hurricanes for some amazing reason. And it’s romantic.
Best of all, enjoy some healing relaxation in this glorious natural setting. Make this special ocean-side cottage your vacation choice today! This house if for peaceful beach lovers.

Bright and beachy decor, carpet throughout, 1 ceiling fan, books, puzzles. centrally located close to bridge and restaurants. L shaped oceanfront deck, O/S w/H&C under house.
Location is as advertised, steps to the beach with panoramic views of the water from the deck and from the living room and master bedroom. The house is small and wouldn't work well for a larger group but for a single family it was great.
Our family of four had a great time at the cottage - couldn't ask for a better location, steps from the beach - and the view from the deck is simply amazing, wonderful for morning coffee and for happy hour. The beach is wide open and perfect for all ages - great for morning walks with the dog, playing in the surf and sunbathing late into the afternoon. Fishing was easy from the beach and the pier, and loved the outdoor shower! Sitting on the porch for dinner at nearby restaurant Koko Cabana was so good, we went back twice - and we also loved going to Provisions in Southport for excellent seafood by the water. The Friday night free concert i. town was also a lot of fun, and don't miss sunset on the west tip of the island - gorgeous. We also rented a pontoon boat on the intracoastal which made for a great day trip. Beatrice was so helpful with recommendations - our only regret was we missed the turtles hatching - but we will be back!
Atlantic Blue was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. It was very clean, charming and the location was fantastic! We really appreciate the fact that we were able to enjoy nature at it's finest...the beach, ocean and wildlife. My 10yr old son couldn't get enough of skim boarding, fishing, crabbing & swimming in the ocean. My 2yr old autistic son found a new love of the ocean. It was very relaxing & calming for him, which is a huge therapeutic plus in this momma's book! My elderly mother, who was recovering from a recent hospitalization was able to enjoy the beach & ocean from the deck of the cottage and the amazing picture window in the living room. There is just something magical & healing about the beach & ocean that cannot be described. Beatrice was an absolute pleasure to work with and she was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of sea turtle care & conservation (to name a few). Being able to witness baby Sea Turtles hatch and make their way to the ocean has been on my bucket list as far back as I can remember. I was able to sit and observe a nest for 3 hrs before a storm came through. Even though I didn't get to witness this first hand on this stay, (you can't control nature) I gained a wealth of knowledge to prepare me for next season! We highly recommend Atlantic Blue for a relaxing vacation experience.
The location of this house is outstanding. The beach is beautiful with generally calm water for the NC coast, a wide beach, and is not overcrowded. The house is right next to the access point for the beach, which has a small parking area for others to access the beach. Despite this, the beach was never crowded. The owner was very responsive and helpful. She was very interested in ensuring we had a great time and offered suggestions for seeing the sea turtles. The house itself is older, but clean and generally well maintained. The appliances in the kitchen need to be updated, and I discussed this with the owner. The dishwasher does not clean the dishes, only two burners work on the stove, and the toaster doesn't work. Since we cooked all of our meals in the house, this was a bit annoying. The owner told me she was going to look into getting all of this fixed. Other than the kitchen, this is a 5 star rental with a great location and very helpful owner.
Have to say I we agree with all the other reviews we read....location, location, location is what this place is all about. Practically on the beach literally. Stayed two weeks, loved the place. Definitely cozy due to size as advertised, but added to the charm as well. Amazing amount of cool sights, especially all the turtle nests, I think about 5 or 6 within 500 yards of the property. Great walk to the pier as well and had a great date night while enjoying KoKo Cabana the second Thursday. Treat to walk to and from dinner for sure. Also, have to say the property allows dogs (one of the main reasons we chose this property) but you would never know that was the case. We made sure our pups kept it that way also. Such a treat, we hope to make it back next year for sure. We also ferried over to Bald Head Island one day with our bikes and had an adventure, really a fun excursion as well. Enjoyed the time immensely! Sincerely, Steve and Jimmie Armstrong
We enjoyed our stay so much! The house is located right at the beach. My granddaughter who is almost 2 easily walked with us. We sat in the porch every morning sipping coffee and watching the waves. We cooked two dinners while we were there and we had everything we needed. Our Labrador loved swimming. We will be back!!
the house has wide views and no houses next door. In very chilly breezes, the decks on two sides mean that one can still sit in a protected sunny spot and look at the wide expanse of beach and ocean. lots of birds and a wonderful supply of cookware.
This is by far the best place we have ever stayed as a family. We have been coming back for several years now and there is always updates being made. This year we saw a unique sand dollar table. All of the sand dollars were found right at the beach-footsteps away. What a great addition to the cottage. As always, we love coming to a place that is so clean. This year, one of our favorite memories was the dolphin sighting. After your stay, you will want to book your next trip back.
We thoroughly enjoyed the property. The location is amazing. Perfect size for me and my wife. Loved Oak Island as well
House is small & older. View of the ocean & access to the beach is spectacular. You’re paying for the view.
