Playing in the Sand

Wake up to salty ocean breezes, spend your afternoon with your toes in the sand, and relax in your private hot tub as evening approaches.

Playing in the Sand gives you the ideal blend of relaxation and convenience – Just a short walk to the beach with a private backyard getaway that is designed for memory-making. Bring the family, your pups, and your favorite people, this is Oak Island living done right.

The "Sand" Perks
- Private Hot Tub: Soak your worries away after a full day at the beach. The 6-person hot tub is the ultimate way to relax and recharge.
- Screened Porch and Outdoor Living: Sip morning coffee on the screened porch, grille out some local seafood, and savor evenings gathered in the roomy outdoor living space.
- Beach-Ready Convenience: Beach chairs and umbrellas, beach towels and toys are all supplied, no overpacking required.
- Modern Coastal Interior: Recently refreshed with bright coastal décor, cherry wood floors, and an open-concept layout that fills the home with natural light. Electric fireplace for comfortable evenings.
- Totally Equipped Kitchen: Stainless appliances, quartz countertops, breakfast bar seating, and everything you need to prepare family meals with ease.
- Guest Essentials Included: Level 2 EV Charger, Washer and dryer, hair dryers, iron and board, linens and towel sets included for your entire group.


Unwind and Recharge (Sleeps 8)
Bed Configuration: 2 Kings | 1 Full-over-Queen Bunk
- Primary Suite: King bed, private en-suite bath, and space designed for restful mornings and relaxing nights.
- Bedroom 2: Cozy King bedroom with cozy coastal touches and office set up for those “work from the beach” days.
- Bedroom 3: Full-over-Queen bunk room, a favorite for kids and cavernous enough for adults.
- Standard for You: Intelligent TVs in every bedroom and living area, plus complimentary Wi-Fi for streaming your favorite shows. Lots of games and books for those peaceful nights in.

Bring Your Furry Beach Crew
Dogs are welcome (up to 2 pups)! The entirely fenced backyard gives your four-legged friends space to stretch out while you relax on the deck, lounge in the 2-person hammock or appreciate a game of Corn Hole or putt-putt (supplied).

Coastal Living Simplified
- Outdoor Shower: Enclosed hot and cold shower to rinse off sand after beach days.
- Private Driveway Parking – 4 spaces total for cars or boats (2 covered spaces)
- Level 2 EV Charger
Arrive. Unpack. Start visiting.

The Ideal Location
Located in the heart of Oak Island, you are ideally central to everything:
- The Beach: Short walk to public beach access.
- The Fun: Short walk to Pepperoni Grille, beach stores and Middleton Park (summer concerts and farmers markets, splash pad, basketball and pickleball courts, skateboard park, baseball field and playgrounds).
- Explore: Minutes to Ocean Crest Fishing Pier, Oak Island Golf Course, putt-putt and arcade, Oak Island Lighthouse, helicopter rides, skydiving, and more. A short drive takes you to the beautiful streets of historic Southport or the ferry to Bald Head Island or Kure Beach attractions, including the NC Aquarium and Civil War museum.
- Dining: With over 20 eateries and bars on the island, within a couple miles of Playing in the Sand, you can't hit them all in one trip.
- Shopping: Less than 1 mile to Publix grocery store, with "coastal nook" stores, artisan galleries, homemade ice-cream stores and multiple fish markets also very close by. Short drive to Walmart and big box stores.

From memory-making family vacations to laid-back couples' weekends and dog-friendly escapes, Playing in the Sand delivers the coastal hideaway you've been dreaming about.

Note: This is a smoke-complimentary property. Outdoor lift is not for guest use due to local safety regulations.
