Healing Waters. When you book a getaway, that is what you are looking for. Somewhere to relax & have fun. In this oceanfront cottage one of your favorite spots may be sitting on the deck, overlooking the ocean & feeling the effect of those Healing Waters. Smell that fresh salt air. Feel those salubrious breezes. Put your toes in the warm sand. Take a dip into the ocean, the Healing Waters. In the heat of the day, relax on the covered deck & take in all the beauty that being oceanfront affords. Oak Island is unusual on the East Coast in that we have a South facing beach. Bring your camera & coffee to watch the sun rise over the water & in the evening pour a glass of wine to watch the sun set, also over the water. As the sun disappears, the Edison lights on the deck create a relaxing mood.

There is a private walkway leading you over the 1st set of dunes to a path through the 2nd set of dunes to the shoreline. As you head down the walkway you may want to bring the binoculars from inside & sit on the bench to watch for dolphins playing in the water ahead of you. Zoom in to see the pelicans fly in formation & the gulls as they “laugh” at you. Grab the provided 6 chairs & beach toys as you head to enjoy the warmth of the sun & fun in the sand & water.

Unload your vacation supplies under the covered parking & head right up the stairs leading to the memories about to be made. Staying oceanfront also saves you from searching for parking at the beach accesses & during the season, having to pay to park once you find that space.

Enter to find an open concept kitchen, dining & living areas. The bright white, vaulted ceilings reflect the light from the windows flanking the back of the living area with views of the ocean. What an airy, relaxing vibe you feel already. In the comfortable living area, you can watch TV, play games, or relive the fun of the day by the ambiance of electric fireplace any time of year. Dividing the kitchen & living areas is an island with plenty of storage & seating for 6. You may choose alfresco dining at the picnic table on the deck. Preparing meals in this open concept kitchen allows for everyone to be together but enjoying their own activities. Small appliances include a drip/k-cup coffee maker, tea kettle, blender, toaster & stock pot to make those low county seafood boils.

To the left of the dining island is the stacked washer/dryer laundry center. Save room for souvenirs by packing lighter because you can wash your vacation clothes, swimsuits & towels as you use them. An iron & board are provided to look sharp & crisp for those dinners out. The Primary Bedroom, with ensuite, entry is directly off the dining area. This Primary with queen includes an ensuite with shower & hair dryer. Bedroom #2 has 2 twin beds, TV & a desk for mobile work or school. Bedroom #3 sleeps 3 in a full & twin bed; TV. The hall bath has a tub/shower combination with hair dryer & is shared by bedrooms 2 & 3.

Please note: Linens are included with your reservation and your beds will be made prior to your arrival. Also a Welcome Bag will be waiting for you upon your arrival with starter supplies which includes 2 trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher powder, washing machine powder, dish sponge, small shampoo and conditioner with bar of soap, make up remover, and 2 bottles of water.

Oak Island, a family-oriented beach with a large variety of activities. Choose from the sand & sun, 2 piers, museums, nature parks & a skateboard park. Seasonally: Outdoor Concerts/Food Trucks, Splash Pad & Farmer’s/Craft Markets. The Iconic landmark, the OKI Lighthouse is in Caswell Beach. You can schedule a tour ahead of time online. It’s a short drive to a large variety of restaurants & shopping opportunities. There are 2 grocery stores on the island. If you don’t want to miss leg day, there is a gym here with daily & weekly drop-in rates.

Down the walkway & over the dunes we go… Healing Waters, here we come!

Best beachfront stay in OKI!

Mary is the best host I’ve ever had! I’ve stayed in Oak Island for about six years now and she is hands down the most accommodating host. The house was extremely clean (this was such a relief because I have worked with the property management company on the island -iykyk- and things were not clean whatsoever in past rentals). Mary is attentive and her home is so cozy. Her and her home definitely made this the best OKI trip I’ve ever had. I highly recommend and will refer Mary and her home to everyone!

Wonderful house and, great location!! The outdoor shower is perfect with the rain shower head! If you are staying longer then a week you need to buy extra toilet paper, trash bags, and paper towels. I wish it had a iron. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

We had a wonderful time at Healing Waters. The beach cottage is just perfect. Nicely maintained and updated and just the right size for our family of 5. Direct beach access is fantastic.

The house was exactly as portrayed on VRBO; very clean and cozy. We had never been to Oak Island and were very pleasantly surprised. It met all of our requirements: quiet, low key and beautiful. We had the added experience of seeing a sea turtle hatching. Will definitely be back! Thank you to our gracious hosts!

Wonderful property, no detail overlooked

Spotless, well- equipped and views to die for. This is a great house with a great host. We enjoyed lots of time at the beach, and quick 2 minute walks back to the house to cool off and eat lunch. Best location, stylish and well equipped and truly clean. Just FYI the bathroom off the main bedroom is tight and that shower could be a challenge for an older person. (They would be better to use the larger hall bath. ) Great stay, can't wait to go back.

Great Beach House!

Wonderful location steps from a gorgeous beach where we walked for miles! The covered porch in the rocking adirondack chairs facing the ocean was one of our favorite places to be. The property manager was extremely responsive. The only thing I'd change is updating the mattresses and loveseat, and the property manager said they are working to improve those. I would have given 5 stars if that had been completed prior to our stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Great on the beach option

Cute little cottage with just enough room for the 4 of us. You can't go wrong when you are steps away from the beach. Very clean and well stocked. Love that side of Oak Island ! We had big metal pipes on the beach the first 2 days due to sand renovation but once they were moved it was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend Southport for dinner (just know it's about 20-30 minute drive). Missing the beach every day since we've been back!
