The Neighborhood:

Things to Do:

Stretching along North Carolina's southern coast, Oak Island is a laid-back beach town known for its uncrowded shoreline, family-friendly atmosphere, and natural coastal beauty. With over 10 miles of sandy beaches, visitors can spend their days swimming, shelling, fishing, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the ocean. The island is home to the historic Oak Island Lighthouse, one of the state's most distinctive landmarks, offering seasonal tours and panoramic views of the coastline. Nature lovers can explore scenic parks, walk the trails at the Environmental Overlook Trail, or cast a line from the Ocean Crest Fishing Pier. Just a short drive away, the charming waterfront town of Southport features boutique shopping, fresh seafood restaurants, and picturesque views of the Cape Fear River. Whether you're looking for outdoor adventure, local dining, or a peaceful beach escape, Oak Island offers something for every visitor.



Getting Around:

Getting around Oak Island is easy! While 'A Last Resort' offers free parking on the premises, you'll also find convenient options for exploring the area. The closest major airport is Wilmington International Airport (ILM), approximately a 45-minute drive away. From the house, you can easily access local shops and restaurants by car or even a leisurely walk. Public transportation options are limited in Oak Island, so having a car is recommended to make the most of your family vacation.

We had a great time for our week at the beach over memorial day. Plenty of room for our family of 5 plus our dog. The whole family enjoyed the pool as well as the wonderful screened in front porch for family dining. The house is just a short drive to the beach and conveniently close to restaurants, grocery stores, and the best donut/ice cream shop. The host was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Any message we sent was answers within minutes. The house was clean and well equipped for our stay. We will definitely be back.
