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 cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

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!

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!

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.

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

Family trip

This was our first time at OKI, my husbands family rented multiple houses for the week. We stayed here with one other couple and our small children. With the other family members being close by, we were really only here to sleep but wish we would have had more time to enjoy it! The house was clean, absolutely adorable, and my little girls have begged to go back to “our pink house” since we left. My husband mentioned that he hates he didn’t have more time to fish because the house is on the water. Overall, we had a great experience and the owners were nice and very easy to communicate with. Would recommend and will likely stay again!

We enjoyed our time at this amazing little Pink Cottage. We celebrated our 42nd Anniversary and had a very relaxing and peaceful time. Being on the deck and just enjoying the birds and nature was my favorite. This house and host, John did not disappoint and we will return for another stay. John was courteous and helpful with any questions we had. We highly recommend this house , it has everything you need and the outdoor shower was nice too. Beach walk was quick and access to the beach was easy. Thank you for sharing your cottage. T and W, Wilmington, NC

The Pink Cottage is perfect. A lovely little home on the tidal creek. It has beautiful marsh views (we saw an amazing sunset) and is a quick walk to the beach. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the mini-split system kept the house nice & cool. The hosts have thought of everything to make this a wonderful stay.

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!
