Enter from the ocean side and imagine yourself sitting at the kitchen table for breakfast, gazing out at the vast Atlantic. This quaint cottage has an amply stocked kitchen to prepare meals from breakfast to dinner. On the deck, you can enjoy dinner while feeling the ocean breeze. Two comfortable chairs and a side table are perfect for discussing the day's finds & planning out the next day. If you’re a fisherman (or visited one of several local fresh seafood markets), you will love to cook your meal on the charcoal grill downstairs. While you’re waiting for your dinner to finish, hang out on the retro swings, and peek over the dunes at the pelicans as they fly over the ocean searching for their dinner. Head inside on cooler evenings to work a puzzle, play a board game or a round of poker, watch one of several movies provided in the drawer or stream your favorite show on the smart tv. With a simple flick of the switch, cozy up with one of the various books or magazines in the warmth of an instant fireplace. Both bedrooms have full-size beds and provide the added privacy and convenience of exiting through sliding glass doors onto the wraparound porch. One bedroom has a full view of the ocean and the other features an illuminating blue neon wave that is as alluring as looking at the crashing waves on the other side. Open the doors and breathe in the salt air. Nap listening to the seagulls, waves and the distant gleeful delights of children building sandcastles. Dream about the day you spent with your toes in the sand sitting in one of the provided beach chairs. Did you play any of the yard games? Giant Jenga, corn hole and yard-sized Connect Four are located in the utility room downstairs. Wash off the sand & salt using the outdoor shower on the deck walkway before heading in for a snack. Full-sized washer & dryer will get your bathing suits & towels ready for fun the next day. The beach awaits you at the end of the short walkway & one of the many “Small Pleasures“ that come with booking this beachfront cottage is that you don’t have to find parking at a beach access because you have your very own! What are you waiting for?! Hurry and book your stay now! We are excited to host you and your family's next vacation! Just don't forget to bring your flip flops, and leave your worries behind while you soak in the salty air breeze and beautiful Oak Island sun!

Sep 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Loved this cute little old-fashioned beachfront cottage. The vaulted ceilings made it seem so much bigger and more open. The wood on the ceilings was also a great decorative idea.

Sep 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My husband and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary here and had the absolute best time. We both agree it has been our favorite vacation. The accommodations reflected everything that was mentioned in the listing, and being right on the beach with a semi private dune made it easy to go for walks on the beach in the early and late hours of the day! The only issue we ran into to no fault of the listing was the abundance of gnats! We unfortunately couldn’t enjoy our deck due to the swarms of them, but after talking with other people we weren’t alone! We hope to come back in the future!! ##### Erin C.

Small Pleasures is a perfect little spot to spend time soaking in the sun, listening to the waves and just recharging the soul. Watching the sun rise and set was the frosting on the cake.

My husband and I are retired so, we booked Small Pleasures at the end of September. The weather was gorgeous, low 80’s, and the beach was almost empty. I can’t say enough about this house. Very nicely updated, had everything we needed and steps to the beach! Just what we were looking for in a vacation rental. We will definitely be back! ##### Jennifer R.

Small Pleasures was just as described…clean, comfortable, and with beautiful views of the ocean. The house is small - perfect for 2 people and has that quaint beach cottage feel. Whether we were sitting on the deck watching the waves or taking a stroll on the beach we could not have asked for a more perfect and relaxing getaway….Small Pleasures most definitely fit the bill. 10 out of 10 we would stay here again!! ##### Catessa M.

My husband and I stayed here with our 18 month old and had the best time. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. The views were amazing. We loved eating outside on the covered deck with our little one. We were so sad to leave and hope to visit again. Thanks for the amazing memories! ##### Melissa S.

Oct 10, 2023 #### Honeymoon/family vacation We came down from Ohio to be married at Carolina beach and spent the rest of the time going to different beaches and this was the cutest cosiest house on the beach. Loved sitting on the porch in the mornings watching the dolphins and maybe some sharks. ##### Mary h. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle D.

It was super clean, nicely decorated with modern furniture and finishes, and most importantly, close to the beach. Our only complaints are that the beds were full-size instead of queen or king, and the furnace/air conditioning was a little loud in the bedroom. We had an issue connecting to the WiFi at first, and although we figured it out on our own, the rental agency and owner were very responsive when we first reported it and even offered to come fix the issue. I really appreciated that. ##### Michelle D. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tamara B.

May 2, 2024 #### Perfect Getaway Small pleasures is packed with big abilities to provide the perfect respite for family and friends to gather. Everything we needed was at our fingertips and in the very best working condition. We arrived and immediately felt welcomed and happy to be there. My teenage daughter remarked on how clean it was. We came thousands of miles to be close to the ocean and have time together away from the busy of our lives!!! One of my favorite stays away!! ##### Jennifer P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara B. Apr 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Size This was a 4-day vacation for myself and my Mom - just needing some relaxation and ocean breezes. This cottage delivered just that. Perfect size for the two of us and everything we needed for quick meals. Location was ideal being right on the beach and I loved the covered patio to stay out of the sun. Only suggestion is a decent umbrella to use on the beach with the chairs. The one in the storage space wasn't usable. ##### Tara B.
