Things To Do: Oak Island is known for its golden sand beaches, calming blue waters, friendly community, and proximity to the cities of Southport, Wilmington, and Myrtle Beach. There are many cute island coffee shops, stores, breweries, and a park that showcases a splash pad for summer fun! With a beautiful Golf Club open to summer travelers and over 100 public water access points, there is an abundance of all things adventurous to do on Oak Island!  If you'd like to keep your fitness routine going while on vacation, you can get an out-of-town Gym pass at Oak Island Recreation Center. Utilize the Rec Center's ample parking, put in at the Kayak ramp, and spend hours kayaking our beautiful marshes.  Sit on the lawn and enjoy a night off cooking at our Weekly Friday night "Summer Concert In The Park" with a couple of local food truck options at this family-centric Live Music event. Beach Day takes place in Oak Island on the Friday before July 4th and features all-day activities followed by fireworks on the island that evening. Visit Historic Southport, a seafaring town just five miles from our island, for a bigger nightlife. Southport, at the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, features a variety of different restaurants, bars, live music and shopping. It is one of our favorite places to walk around and check out different food and live music on the weekends. There are free parking options all over town, and you can easily walk to dozens of places while enjoying the breeze from the riverfront and admiring historic homes and general store buildings that date back to the early 1800s. Southport's State Fourth of July Festival is a three-day street fair with artists from all over the state, vendors, and food. It is truly like being in an Andy Griffith episode with the parade and grand finale fireworks show over the riverfront in Southport. We look forward to your visit! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the sea - On a river ### Things to do - Bicycles - Tennis - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### 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 (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106260000/106251200/106251180/9debf73c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3BR 2BA House - Ocean Views, Walk to Beach, Dog Friendly, Sleeps 8 Oak Island - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=106251180&PinnedHotelID=106251180&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113690000/113689200/113689164/d96cac27.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New Property for 2025 - Private Home with Dogs Allowed Long Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=113689164&PinnedHotelID=113689164&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66580000/66570700/66570645/c0c68ab8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pets Welcome!
