Outdoor living is at its best at The Feighery Tail: with a firepit seating area in the front, and a shaded hot tub patio in the fully-fenced back yard, complete with a generous cushioned outdoor living room. Our charming Oak Island cottage is a .7 mile stroll to the beach down a sleepy lane.  (Or a three minute drive.)  Swim, surf, and sun yourself and then walk to Grocery stores, Barbecue, Ice Cream, and Putt Putt, all close by. If you prefer to fish the marshes or run out to the inlet from the ICW, boats and trailers are no problem and there is ample parking. The public boat ramp is super close! Screened-in porches, a hot water outdoor shower, and a gas grill make this the perfect island vacation house year round.

Our street is a straight walk through to the beach access. Nearby Middleton Park provides food trucks and a cabana with showers/ restrooms.  You will have easy access to the splash pad, skate park, and baseball fields if you need a diversion from the sand for a while. And, don’t miss stopping for a Dole Whip from a nearby food truck.  Our home is an easy visit to grocery shopping, dining, and bar spots, as well as various ice cream, coffee, and donut options.

Things To Do:
Oak Island is known for its golden sand beaches, calming blue waters, friendly community, and close proximity to the cities of Southport, Wilmington, and Myrtle Beach. There are many cute island coffee shops, stores, breweries, a town park, 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! 
Surf Fishing doesn’t get much better than Oak Island.  From busy public beaches to hidden creeks, from green park areas to grassy flats where you can wade – surf fishing here can be whatever you want it to be. Bring your favorite gear or hit one of the numerous bait and tackle stores to rent some, and you’ll be ready to cast away. For the best of all options, take a local guide from one of our many fishing charters dotted around the island who will cater to your group’s every need.
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 prior to 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. Free parking options are 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 river front in Southport.
We look forward to your visit!
