Oak Islands. Donovan's Reef

Oak Island is a beach town in North Carolina. It’s separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway. The Atlantic coast is lined with beaches, and fishermen gather at the long Ocean Crest Pier. The Oak Island Nature Center has trails, plus displays on fossils and native animals. To the east, Oak Island Lighthouse has sweeping views over Caswell Beach and Bald Head Island.

The Town also has a municipal golf course and eight parks, ranging from a fishing T at the west end of the island to a large park on the mainland complete with baseball and football fields. There is a skate park, a dog park, a cabana on the oceanfront with an observation deck and plenty of places to find a quiet spot to relax and enjoy the view. Area businesses, like piers and marinas, restaurants and ice cream shops, also help make vacationers feel welcome while catering to full-time residents. Gas card with every reservation of 2 or more days!

Great Location
Great location across from beach access. It was nice, clean, and quiet. It had everything we needed for a week vacation. Pier was a short walk down the beach drive. The only things i would add are wall tvs in bedrooms, ice maker in refrigerator, closets or armoire in the bedrooms, and towel hangers in bathrooms.

This cozy cottage is perfectly located just steps from the beach and pier. The ocean view is like beach front without the hefty price tag. Holly is an excellent host, prompt to respond with any questions. The home was very clean and the kitchen was well supplied. We enjoyed our stayed and hope to return soon!

by the beach
We really enjoyed our stay. The access to the beach was great, especially for me. I am late 70's and sometimes walking far is hard since my knees arent what they used to be. Close to driving around Oak Island. Will definitely look for this house again and rent it. Thanks again.

Fun family trip to the beach
This was a Juneteenth/First Father's Day trip for me and my family. We had a great time and the public beach access was the perfect distance. Very relaxing on a family oriented beach.
