Hot Tub & Saltwater Pool! 3min Walk to Beach with Private Dock. Pet Friendly!

Stunning 3-Bedroom, 2-Bath Home with Pool & Hot Tub – Only 3 Minute Walk to the Beach!

Welcome to your perfect getaway! This newly renovated 3-bed, 2-bath home offers a modern and comfortable retreat, with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Located on the picturesque waterway, you'll enjoy stunning views and easy access to the beach—just a 3-minute walk away! Golf cart available for rental!

Convenient, central location close to grocery stores, parks, and local restaurants!

The space:
We are honored to welcome you to Tide-ings of Joy, a beautiful home, inside and out! Located on the 4th row, with an easy 3-minute walk to public beach access. We are sure you will love the convenient location with easy access to restaurants, grocery stores, parks and all that Oak Island has to offer! Everything inside the home has been thoughtfully designed to ensure you have all the comforts of home while on your vacation.

The open kitchen is well-equipped with everything you may need such as multiple coffee makers, including a Keurig. Among many other things, you'll also find an air fryer, kids dinnerware, mixing bowls with lids, tupperware, ninja blender, mixer, grilling utensils, wine openers, pots and pans, and yes, sharp knives. There is plenty of seating around the kitchen island and a dedicated workspace, great for setting up a laptop, if needed. Beside the island is also a kid's table, perfect for the little ones!

We think you will especially love the outside of the house, with different options to enjoy such as upper and lower decks in the front of the house, which are perfect for gathering for your morning coffee, and watching the beautiful sunsets in the evening. We love listening to the sound of the ocean while enjoying the rocking chairs and beautiful views!

Walking out on the back deck, you will see amazing views of the waterway, overlooking a brand new saltwater pool added early in 2025, with a hot tub under the deck! Pool and hot tub are open year-round, although pool is not heated. Outdoor lighting around the pool make this awesome place to gather in the evening! The private dock is right on the water, perfect for fishing or catching fresh blue crab. You may see the occasional kayaker passing by, and the beautiful native birds doing a little fishing of their own!

There is also a picnic table under the front of the house, which is a great spot for lunches after returning from the beach, or playing cards in the evening. Cornhole boards, beach chairs, cooler, wagon, and kids toys are provided for use during your stay! A 3-burner propane gas Weber grill is located in the pool area.

Inside, each master bedroom has Queen beds with very comfortable, brand new high-quality pillow-top mattresses, and hotel quality pillows. The third bedroom has two sets of bunks beds, with very comfortable mattresses and pillows. Designed with kids in mind, but an adult could also sleep comfortably. Each bedroom has ceiling fans, white noise machines/alarm clocks, dressers and closets with plenty hangers for unpacking during your stay. Box fans are also located in each bedroom closet. The upstairs master bedroom opens directly to the upper deck with amazing views. You can even see the ocean! Additional soft throw blankets are located throughout the house. The home comfortably sleeps 8, but there is a sleeper sofa and a sleeper chair, with additional linens, pillows and blankets, which could accommodate 2 additional guests. 55'' RokuTV in the living room is setup for easy login to your app subscriptions, with limited LiveTV channel options available. Laundry room has full -size washer and dryer.

Full baths are located upstairs and downstairs, each have a bathtub and shower, stocked with plenty of towels, washcloths, hand soap, bodywash shampoo and conditioner. Complimentary travel-size toiletries are also provided.

Our favorite way to get around the island is to hop in the 6-seater golf cart, equipped with long-range lithium battery, which is available to rent for your stay! Much of Oak Island is accessible by golf cart, with local regulations allowing travel on roads that are posted 35mph or less. We love taking it to local restaurants and ice cream shops, or simply to use as a super easy way to get to and from the beach. Highly recommend taking a drive down to "The Point" on the west end of the Island to watch unforgettable sunsets! Please let us know if you would like to reserve it for your stay!

Golf cart rate is $75/day for the length of your stay. We gladly offer a 15% discount on the golf cart rate for teachers, first responders and military!

Guest access:
Keyless entry makes check-in and check-out seamless. Door code will be provided on day of check-in. The house is located on a quiet street, which we offers the convenience of being close to the beach and the peacefulness of not being on the main road.

Doorbell cameras are located on the front and back door, but are disabled during your stay immediately following check-in.

Check-in time is at 4:00pm, but we will contact you as early as possible once the house is ready for your stay!

Guests will have full access to the house (with the exception of owner's closet), pool, hot tub, and the ability to rent the onsite golf cart! The private dock is yours to use!


Other things to note
For May 31, 2025-Aug 30, 2025 only accepting Saturday-Saturday bookings. Thanks!

Brand new outdoor shower with hot/cold water added March 2025!

Due to the size of the space, we can only allow 1 pet during your stay.

We absolutely love Oak Island and we think you will too!

A guidebook for you stay will be provided with additional details for the home and recommendations for some of our favorite spots and activities!

There are so many fun and convenient things located within minutes of the house. Middleton park is a favorite for our kids and we love exploring the island on the golf cart! The Point at the West end of the island, where the waterway connect to the ocean, is an amazing place to watch the sunset or to just sit around.

We would be happy to provide recommendations so please reach out with any questions you may have!
