Dual-unit 5 BR beach retreat, perfect for families or friends that enjoy vacationing together!

Blissful beach days await at this 5BR / 3BA retreat! A desirable second-row location keeps you just steps, 100 yards to be exact, from toes in the sand and riding the waves. The lower unit is new with beautifully appointed decor, high-end appliances, and new furniture, accessible by the outside stairs!

After a fun-filled day, relax on the deck to watch the sunset or venture to nearby restaurants and wind down in the neighborhood. This home is located less than 2 blocks from Middleton Park - an easy walk to enjoy a playground, splash pad, basketball courts, tennis courts, baseball fields, picnic shelters, and family-friendly activities/events.

Enjoy this unique opportunity to vacation with others in your group while still having your own separate living quarters. The upstairs unit (Jenny's Dream North) can accommodate up to 6 guests (+2 on sofa bed = 8)

The unit comes updated with all of the modern amenities and invites you to unwind into vacation mode as you look out at the beach from the balcony or sunroom. The living room offers plenty of comfy seating around the TV for you and your guests to watch your favorite team or movie. There is additional seating with a sofa and armchair that creates a welcoming gathering space. Prepare your favorite meals in the fully stocked kitchen and enjoy as you gather in the breakfast nook or the dining area. The master bedroom is equipped with a queen-size bed and a TV so you can stay up-to-date on your favorite shows. The en suite Jack-and-Jill bathroom is configured with a walk-in shower and easy access from the master or the guest bedroom with a queen-size bed. A second bathroom in the hall includes a tub/shower combination, and the third bedroom is styled with two twin-size beds perfect for the kids.

Outstanding Getaway Spot

We had an amazing time! Everything was great, from check-in to checkout and everything in between, you couldn't have scripted a better experience. Very well equipped and nicely located home. Great spot to take the family to enjoy some quality time together. Very quiet and relaxing as well. A great value as well.

summer vacation

The location was great so close to the beach. The 3 season room came in handy. The downstairs unit was very nice and we liked the room upstairs for gathering everyone together. The upstairs bathroom could use some work. We could have used more kitchen towels. We had a great stay.

Craft Cottage was great!

Great property. Very clean and location was as advertised. Owner was prompt in answering questions and taking care of requests. Just wish there was an indoor stairway between upstairs and downstairs unit.

Fantastic time in Oak Island

Our family loved the Craft Cottage. Perfect for two groups traveling together. Lots of space for dinners and activities together while providing many areas to relax quietly by yourself. Super easy access to the beach and the outdoor shower so nice when coming back from the beach. Owner and rental group were very responsive to all questions and quickly resolved any issues. Definitely would stay here again!!
