"Small Pleasures" on Oak Island, NC
As you approach “Small Pleasures”, the first thing that will excite you is the full wraparound porch. Enter from the ocean side and imagine yourself sitting at the kitchen table for breakfast, gazing out at the vast Atlantic. This quaint cottage has an amply stocked kitchen to prepare meals from breakfast to dinner. On the deck, you can enjoy dinner while feeling the ocean breeze. Two comfortable chairs and a side table are perfect for discussing the day's finds & planning out the next day.
If you’re a fisherman (or visited one of several local fresh seafood markets), you will love to cook your meal on the charcoal grill downstairs. While you’re waiting for your dinner to finish, hang out on the retro swings, and peek over the dunes at the pelicans as they fly over the ocean searching for their dinner.
Head inside on cooler evenings to work a puzzle, play a board game or a round of poker, watch one of several movies provided in the drawer or stream your favorite show on the smart tv. With a simple flick of the switch, cozy up with one of the various books or magazines in the warmth of an instant fireplace.
Both bedrooms have full-size beds and provide the added privacy and convenience of exiting through sliding glass doors onto the wraparound porch. One bedroom has a full view of the ocean and the other features an illuminating blue neon wave that is as alluring as looking at the crashing waves on the other side. Open the doors and breathe in the salt air. Nap listening to the seagulls, waves and the distant gleeful delights of children building sandcastles. Dream about the day you spent with your toes in the sand sitting in one of the provided beach chairs. Did you play any of the yard games? Giant Jenga, corn hole and yard-sized Connect Four are located in the utility room downstairs. Wash off the sand & salt using the outdoor shower on the deck walkway before heading in for a snack. Full-sized washer & dryer will get your bathing suits & towels ready for fun the next day.
The beach awaits you at the end of the short walkway & one of the many “Small Pleasures“ that come with booking this beachfront cottage is that you don’t have to find parking at a beach access because you have your very own!
What are you waiting for?! Hurry and book your stay now! We are excited to host you and your family's next vacation! Just don't forget to bring your flip flops, and leave your worries behind while you soak in the salty air breeze and beautiful Oak Island sun! Get ready to unplug, unwind and enjoy the Small Pleasures in life!

What a perfect escape! We had the greatest stay in Oak Island. The host was very responsive. The home was impeccably appointed, and the location was perfect for us! It is a nice, quiet street with perfect access to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed waking up every morning to the beautiful sunrise with our coffee on the porch! We couldn't have asked for a better stay.

We absolutely loved our stay! The location was stunning—peaceful, private, and felt like having our own secluded beach. One of the highlights of our trip was witnessing baby sea turtles hatching right on the shore. It was such a beautiful and unexpected surprise that made our stay even more special.The home itself was thoughtfully designed and very well appointed, with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. We enjoyed spending our evenings playing games and watching movies together. The layout was efficient and made it easy to settle in and feel at home.The sunsets were nothing short of breathtaking, painting the sky in vibrant colors each evening. We were also lucky enough to experience a full moon during our stay—it reflected off the water in the most magical way.Overall, this place exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway filled with natural beauty, comfort, and unforgettable moments.

What an adorable little place right on the beach! While it is small, they did an amazing job maximizing the space, and it lacked nothing! Cannot ask for a more convenient place to walk right out onto the beach. Both the house and the beach were clean and quiet.

My husband and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary here and had the absolute best time. We both agree it has been our favorite vacation. The accommodations reflected everything that was mentioned in the listing, and being right on the beach with a semi private dune made it easy to go for walks on the beach in the early and late hours of the day! The only issue we ran into to no fault of the listing was the abundance of gnats! We unfortunately couldn’t enjoy our deck due to the swarms of them, but after talking with other people we weren’t alone! We hope to come back in the future!!

Loved this cute little old-fashioned beachfront cottage. The vaulted ceilings made it seem so much bigger and more open. The wood on the ceilings was also a great decorative idea. Perfect amount of space for my husband and me (two active seniors who love the beach).

This was our second time staying at the house, and the owners have made some solid updates, which made our stay mostly better than before. The new counter top and cabinets were new and clean. The addition of a dish towel (though we brought our own, just in case) made clean up easier. We were really excited about the enclosed outdoor shower, but we were a little disappointed as the water pressure wasn't great and the hot and cold water cycled, which meant inconsistent temps. In the end, we ended up just taking showers in the bathroom. Obviously, what makes this house fantastic is the beach front. It is just fantastic to sit on the deck when beach time is over. We had some weird weather during this trip - some rain, good storms, dead calm, hot and humid - finally a solid day of sun the last day. The deck was used a bit more than we expected. We will stay there again, for sure. Its just perfect for two folks - we just wish the bed was bigger. We also wish we could bring a dog, but we also understand why we cannot.

Plenty of room
Although the house was small, it was just right for the two of us. It was super clean, nicely decorated with modern furniture and finishes, and most importantly, close to the beach. Our only complaints are that the beds were full-size instead of queen or king, and the furnace/air conditioning was a little loud in the bedroom. We had an issue connecting to the WiFi at first, and although we figured it out on our own, the rental agency and owner were very responsive when we first reported it and even offered to come fix the issue. I really appreciated that.

Awesome
This place was perfect for my husband and I, we are in our mid 60s and enjoyed the stay, sitting on the deck , watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee, or the sunset with a hot cocoa + something.....we used the second bedroom for our clothes, because the rooms are a little small, but we do that most of the time anyway....so no big deal for us....i just think it could be cleaner, it needs a long deep clean, like light switches, light hardware, inside the oven and id recommend to get some new pans foe the over, we cooked a turkey breat and were looking for a fitting pan, those i saw are disgusting but i bought my own, so other than that we had a wonderful stay....
Thank you very much...
