Find the beach vacation you’ve been dreaming about at Wish Upon a Starfish. Conveniently located less than a seven-min. walk from many dining and entertainment options and only half a mile from the nearest public beach access, this ranch-style home on a double lot provides a peaceful neighborhood vibe for your time spent off the beach. Two dogs up to 60lbs each can appreciate playing in the enormous fenced-in yard while the family relaxes on the roomy screened-in porch. A huge driveway provides plenty of parking for cars, trucks or even your boat, and a public boat launch is located just around the corner.
The open-concept living and dining area is brightly lit and welcoming. A comfortable sectional and armchairs located across from the huge flat-screen T.V provide the ideal place to gather together and savor a favorite movie, and the sizable dining table seating eight stands ready for family dinners or game nights. The adjacent kitchen is entirely supplied with all the cookware needed to prepare your catch of the day–or more standard fare snared from the close by grocery store.
Directly off the living room, you’ll find the primary bedroom, complete with a king bed, flat screen T.V. and modest desk area for those who may need to bring work with them to the beach. The attached private bath provides a step-in shower stall.
Down the hall from the kitchen is the second bathroom, with a standard tub/shower combo. Two bedrooms are also located in this hallway. The first has an additional king bed and a flat-screen T.V. The second has a queen bed and twin trundle and also has a flat-screen T.V.
The final bedroom is off the dining area and provides an additional queen bed and flat-screen T.V. Directly across from this room is the laundry and utility closet, with a washer and dryer as well as storage space for your beach bags or equipment.
Just outside the side entrance door, you’ll find a roomy screened porch as well as access to the fenced backyard. Parlor in the egg chair or gather around the table for lunch under the shade and protection of the screened porch with a ceiling fan to keep you comfortable. Swim around in the private pool on those warm afternoons. Then gather around the backyard firepit as the evening breeze cools the air and exchange stories as you roast marshmallows.
Thoughtfully furnished, located among oak trees and close to everything Oak Island has to offer, all that’s missing in this happily ever after is you!
