Views to be enjoyed from every direction, even a view of the Oak Island Lighthouse just down the street! Not to mention, your beach access is only three homes away! This home is one of the most desirable on Oak Island and Caswell Beach, as during the filming of Boys of Summer, a certain lead actor was in residence here.

Outside , you can know the kids are safe playing in the large fenced backyard.  Feel free to wash all the sand away from a fun-filled day at the beach in the enclosed hot/cold outdoor shower.  As evening approaches, you can grill out your fresh catch on the gas grill for the best local seafood you've ever tasted.

I loved that I was able to book this property and the Better Beach Rental team sent very helpful emails. I had two non urgent questions sent via email and each time my email was answered within 24 hours or less. Loved this property and hope to return next year.

Beautiful home. Primary shower needs attention with either re grouting or a deep clean. Downstairs bathtub drain by bunk room needs unclogged. New hose nozzles are needed.

Loved this property, a bit pricey, the location was great and fairly quiet. Views were amazing The kitchen was fully stocked with hand appliances cookware and dishes. Loved the tech and audio systems and the stately furnishing. Labeling everything was very helpful and some humorous The oven was not heating well and the center burner was not staying lit. We had to grill inside as the grill provided was not in working order. Spiders covered everything outside having to clean to enjoy the deck on upper and lower levels. There were no bags provided for linens at check out.
