The next time you visit Oak Island, ensure your time spent off the beach is a true After Dune Delight with a stay at this dog-friendly property featuring a 12' x 24' above-ground saltwater pool with decking and a wooden ledge inviting you to dangle your feet in the cool water. Walk to the Oak Island Nature Center, local ice cream stores and eateries or even to the beach - a public beach access point complete with bathrooms and rinse-off stations is less than a mile from your doorstep! Or rent the available golf cart for an additional fee of $600 per stay.

The welcoming front porch offers a variety of outdoor furnishings and a shaded respite for peaceful conversation as you watch the world go by. A wooden gate at the top of the steps means babies and fur-babies alike can join you safely as you savor the island breeze. Or relax on the screened back porch instead as you watch the sunlight filter through Oak Island's famed tress and listen to the kids splash happily in the pool below.

Gather together on the couch and loveseat to stream a favorite movie on the wall-mounted Roku TV, or curl up in one of the arm chairs with a good book instead. The dining table seats up to six, when you add additional chairs from the bedrooms, and an adjacent side bar table offers three barstools as well. The kitchen offers plenty of counter space for preparing meals or storing snacks for simple access. Everything you need to prepare meals is included, from appliances to cookware.

The master suite is furnished with a king bed and a TV for personal entertainment. The modest desk offers a spot to getaway with your laptop if work can't be entirely avoided during your stay. The attached private bathroom is equipped with a double vanity and a step-in shower stall with a constructed-in seat. The remaining two sleeping spaces on this level share access to a hall bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo. The second bedroom contains another king bed and TV, while the third bedroom offers a classic twin-over-twin bunk bed and an additional twin bed, along with another workstation and desk chair.

Downstairs, a separate suite is reached via a dedicated ground floor entrance (note there is no internal staircase connecting the upper and lower floor). Parlor on the sleeper couch as the game plays on the huge TV, which pulls out to a queen bed if needed. A modest kitchen table for two offers space to eat breakfast quietly before venturing upstairs, and the open sleeping alcove just beyond provides a twin-over-twin bunk bed. The attached half bathroom also provides external access to the pool area and a convenient enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water.

Catch some rays from the pool deck on the supplied lounge chairs, or dine al fresco in the shade of the home at one of two tables seating a total of eight guests. Entering the above-ground pool is a breeze thanks to the wide wooden steps and a constructed-in ledge surrounding two sides. On the other side of the pool gate, you'll find plenty of driveaway parking and some covered parking space. You can even pull into the grass to the left of the driveway if you need more space!

When you're ready to hit the sand, grab the supplied beach chairs and travel less than a mile by foot, car, golf cart or even bicycle (two of the latter are available for your use so you can discover the island at your own pace). And when you've finally tired of the sand and surf, head back for some After Dune Delight and memories that will last a lifetime!

Please note that the pictured attached garage is not available for guest use.
