"Happiness Comes in Waves" is the perfect spot for an island getaway! It's just steps from the beach, but is a secluded setting that backs up to the Davis Canal tidal marsh with a private pier that you can drop a line in the water or a crab trap (one of only two private piers in the area). The property is fourth row back and a quick 2-minute walk to the beach with easy access. Relax on the front deck and fall asleep listening to sounds of the ocean! This property boasts 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths plus an additional outdoor shower with hot/cold water for use during the summer months. The kitchen was recently completely renovated, with ample cabinet storage space and is well equipped (pots, pans, blender, electric griddle, toaster oven, coffee maker (standard and Keurig), hand mixer, crockpot, etc) to meet all of your cooking needs. The inside dining table has four chairs, plus we have two folding chairs, plastic deck chairs, and out on the deck is a wrought-iron table with four chairs. Bedroom 1 has a king bed. Bedroom 2 includes two sets of bunk beds (the top bunks are only for children). Bedroom 3 has a queen bed. Linens are NOT provided but the property does include pillows, blankets, and comforters/quilts for all beds and the sofa sleeper. You can bring your own sheets and towels, or rent them from Sharon's Linens on Oak Island (if you do this, we've heard that Sharon's can be sold out in peak season, so contact them early). All bedrooms and the living room have ceiling fans. The ceiling fan/light in the living room is operated by remote control. The property includes a Roku TV and high-speed Internet access and WiFi. This is a pet friendly property with a maximum of 2 pets allowed (dogs only, owner is allergic to cats). Dogs must weigh under 100 lbs and there is a non-refundable pet fee of $120\. Owners must clean up the yard after their pets! Please clean furniture is there is an abundant amount of hair as well. There's a wagon to haul your gear over to the beach and usually several beach chairs. And there's a hose available to wash all those things down when you come back from the beach. An ice shack is two blocks away to fill your cooler. It's next door to a convenience store for anything you might've forgotten. A washer/dryer is in the half-bath. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Outdoor shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48610000/48609000/48608964/11131c7f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pet-friendly, fully-fenced yard, minutes to beach Tranquil Harbour - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 63 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-27&endDate=2025-12-28&selected=48608964&PinnedHotelID=48608964&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/65000000/64610000/64604500/64604433/f90514ce.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Walk to Beach - 3 Bed/2 Bath Beach Bungalow Long Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 67 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-27&endDate=2025-12-28&selected=64604433&PinnedHotelID=64604433&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120440000/120432600/120432600/b2727f37.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Salty Paws OKI - Cute Beach Bungalow Tranquil Harbour - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-27&endDate=2025-12-28&selected=120432600&PinnedHotelID=120432600&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91040000/91037300/91037248/969e9110.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Newly Renovated, Dog Friendly, Fully Fenced Back Yard, Easy Beach Access!
