The Seashell: Charming Bungalow a Short Stroll From the Sand
3 Bedrooms | 2 Full Bathrooms
2 Queens | 1 Double | 1 Queen Sleeper Sofa
Soak in the peaceful atmosphere of the Yaupon Beach section of Oak Island under dappled light filtering through its namesake trees at this charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow. Take a leisurely stroll just down the street to the white sand beaches and crashing surf. After a day of adventure, relax in this comfortable home with spaces for gathering inside and out. Well maintained and nicely decorated for your enjoyment, this home provides two TVs with basic cable, DVD player with CD player, wireless internet and free long calls distance to United States phone numbers help your group stay entertained and connected. Families will enjoy taking advantage of the two containers of family games and puzzles, as well as child friendly amenities like a high chair and pack and play. Hardwood floors and ceiling fans throughout add to the convenience of this home.
You’ll also find a well-equipped kitchen ready to host family meals. The stove, microwave, fridge and dishwasher were all newly purchased and installed in the beginning of 2023, along with a heavy-duty washer and dryer to handle all of your laundry needs. The property also has some handicap accessible features, including safety bars in showers and beside commodes.
The covered porch, screened porch with furniture and fenced-in backyard allow you to enjoy the ocean breezes in comfort and privacy. After your short walk back from the beach, wash feet and equipment free of sand at the cold foot wash just beyond the garden gate. This foot wash is conveniently supplied by an on-site well and includes hoses that will reach the driveway for rinsing vehicles of salt and sand before heading home. There is also an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water to make cleaning up after a salt water dip a breeze.
Nightly rentals are available in the off season with a four-night minimum. This home is also available for off-season monthly rentals.
Come enjoy all that Oak Island has to offer at The Seashell!
Important note for guests: The garage is not accessible to guests. Please park only in the driveway as parking on the grass may damage the irrigation equipment.

Older Home but cozy
This is an older home. I could feel the love in it when I walked in. It's definitely not the fancy hotels you would stay but it's cozy. The beds do need replacing as my husband and myself along with my son and daughter-in-law rolled to the middle of the beds. It is better than the place we are staying now.

Easy walk to the beach
We had to make last minute plans and found this house available. It was an easy walk to the pier and the beach. The house is located on the same street as the pier so that was very convenient. It was clean and check out was easy using the linen bags. The outdoor shower was was a great amenity. It is fully closed in so you can take a real shower outside. My only complaint is the beds are super hard and I am used to a much softer bed. I would absolutely stay her again.

Brought my Mom for her 97th birthday.
This property was convenient to everything. Loved the screened in porch! It was partially handicapped accessible which made it easy for Mom. Will definitely stay there again!
