Welcome to Narnia, a 5 bedroom oceanfront vacation home on Oak Island! If you're familiar with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe — you'll understand why this comfortable coastal bungalow is named after the magical world of Narnia! There's so much to appreciate here, with a private boardwalk to the beach, multiple spaces for appreciating the expansive ocean vistas, and a completely refreshed kitchen. Plus, it's ideally located in the West Beach area, about a mile down the road from Lonerider and close to The Point.

On the main level, you'll find a bright, open floor plan for your family and friends to gather! The living space is complete with those amazing vistas, an upsized sectional couch, two swivel chairs, and a sizable flatscreen TV. The entirely modernized kitchen has quartz countertops, bespoke herringbone tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a drink refrigerator with an additional ice maker, a Keurig coffee maker, and bar seating for up to 4! A few steps away is the cavernous dining area with a gorgeous wooden table that seats up to 8. The real star of the show is the broad oceanside deck that features multiple places to sit and relax while you listen to the calming sounds of the waves or watch the sunset with your favorite drink in hand.

Two bedrooms are located on this floor — both with queen-sized beds and coastal touches throughout. These bedrooms share a generous Jack and Jill bathroom with 2 toilets, 2 vanities, and a tub shower combination.

Upstairs features a dedicated workspace in the loft area and the remaining bedrooms! The first bedroom has a queen-size bed and is attached to an extended bathroom with another set of 2 toilets, 2 vanities, and a tub shower combination.

The third full bathroom with a shower and the laundry room are also on this level. Outside has a impressive shaded spot to sit, along with a shower with hot and cold water to rinse off the sand after a fun day out on the beach!
