Property Description
3 bedroom, 2 bath home with 1 King, 1 Queen, twin bunk beds, and Queen air mattress If you’re looking for a family and pet-friendly escape with the best of both worlds, you’ll love our cozy home by the ICW! Take a short 2-minute drive to the beach or a quick walk to the boat pier. The storage shed has two single kayaks available for use and there is a boat ramp within walking distance. Upon entering the house you’ll be greeted with an open living/dining area with a smart TV so that you can access any streaming service. WiFi is available throughout the house. The kitchen has room for up to 8 with a table and barstools, granite countertops, and a fully equipped kitchen (Keurig, blender, pots and pans, crockpot, and even sippy cups). Both the master and queen bedrooms have smart tvs with access to login to your favorite streaming services. The master bathroom has a large shower and the hall bathroom has a bathtub/shower combo. Head into the backyard to enjoy the fire pit on cool nights, while the kids play in the fenced-in yard, or enjoy time grilling on the charcoal grill on the deck. Rinse off from a sandy beach day in the shower in the backyard. The front porch is perfect for sipping your morning coffee or sharing a meal together. There are two ceiling fans to keep cool in the shade. Oak Island has amazing local restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and a large local park with a splash ground, full-court basketball, tennis, community center, and play area. Take a drive to the Oak Island Lighthouse, or to nearby Southport for shopping, and seafood, or to take the ferry to Kure Beach and the Fort Fisher Aquarium.

Enjoyed our vacation!! We really enjoyed our vacation at Oak Island! This was our second year visiting and this house made it so enjoyable. It has a great location to everything and was so comfortable. The dogs enjoyed the fenced in yard and the neighbor even gave them treats over the fence. Thanks for allowing us to stay!

Good stay There was cleanliness issues upon arrival that the property owner resolved in a timely manner. It was the fault of the cleanling company and not the property owner. Overall this is a good property that is well equipped.

Great Little Getaway We had a great stay! The home was just what we needed to get away for the week and the host family had small added touches (laundry service with prepackaged linens, complimentary gift upon arrival and their great response times to questions) to take our stay above the top. We stayed while hurricane Idalia just came through and they checked on us to ensure everything and one were safe.

Cozy cottage Our recent stay at The Tranquil Harbour was all we had hoped for. The cottage was beautifully clean and well-appointed and Kara Varnell and her husband were great hosts. The cottage was a perfect base for exploring the stunning Oak Island coast. We couldn't fault the cottage or our hosts, I would come back in a heartbeat!
