"Small Pleasures" on Oak Island, NC

As you approach “Small Pleasures”, the first thing that will excite you is the full wraparound porch. Enter from the ocean side and imagine yourself sitting at the kitchen table for breakfast, gazing out at the vast Atlantic. This quaint cottage has an amply stocked kitchen to prepare meals from breakfast to dinner. On the deck, you can enjoy dinner while feeling the ocean breeze. Two comfortable chairs and a side table are perfect for discussing the day's finds & planning out the next day.

If you’re a fisherman (or visited one of several local fresh seafood markets), you will love to cook your meal on the charcoal grill downstairs. While you’re waiting for your dinner to finish, hang out on the retro swings, and peek over the dunes at the pelicans as they fly over the ocean searching for their dinner.

Head inside on cooler evenings to work a puzzle, play a board game or a round of poker, watch one of several movies provided in the drawer or stream your favorite show on the smart tv. With a simple flick of the switch, cozy up with one of the various books or magazines in the warmth of an instant fireplace.

Both bedrooms have full-size beds and provide the added privacy and convenience of exiting through sliding glass doors onto the wraparound porch. One bedroom has a full view of the ocean and the other features an illuminating blue neon wave that is as alluring as looking at the crashing waves on the other side. Open the doors and breathe in the salt air. Nap listening to the seagulls, waves and the distant gleeful delights of children building sandcastles. Dream about the day you spent with your toes in the sand sitting in one of the provided beach chairs. Did you play any of the yard games? Giant Jenga, corn hole and yard-sized Connect Four are located in the utility room downstairs. Wash off the sand & salt using the outdoor shower on the deck walkway before heading in for a snack. Full-sized washer & dryer will get your bathing suits & towels ready for fun the next day.

The beach awaits you at the end of the short walkway & one of the many “Small Pleasures“ that come with booking this beachfront cottage is that you don’t have to find parking at a beach access because you have your very own!

What are you waiting for?! Hurry and book your stay now! We are excited to host you and your family's next vacation! Just don't forget to bring your flip flops, and leave your worries behind while you soak in the salty air breeze and beautiful Oak Island sun! Get ready to unplug, unwind and enjoy the Small Pleasures in life!

Beach house Oak Island
Great house in a great location. Quiet and relaxing property with beautiful ocean views. We enjoyed our stay. You may want to hire a new cleaning crew. Dust bunnies and cleaning needs to be done under beds and furniture.

The house was clean, everything worked as it should and we had a very enjoyable stay. I will say the house appears larger in pictures than it was in reality but we had a nice experience.

Relaxing getaway!
Small Pleasures was just as described…clean, comfortable, and with beautiful views of the ocean. The house is small - perfect for 2 people and has that quaint beach cottage feel. Whether we were sitting on the deck watching the waves or taking a stroll on the beach we could not have asked for a more perfect and relaxing getaway….Small Pleasures most definitely fit the bill. 10 out of 10 we would stay here again!!

Family of 3 Vacation
Our family stayed at this cute little house right on the beach and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Everything you could need for your vacation, this house has. Although, most of our time was spent outside on the deck or at the beach! I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a cozy beach house for your vacation.

Everything about my stay here was perfect: the beautiful cottage, the helpful property managers, the views (oh my, the sunsets), and the beautiful beach to walk and relax on. A very peaceful place. Highly recommend for any stay in the area.

An absolute gem!
My husband and I stayed here with our 18 month old and had the best time. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. The views were amazing. We loved eating outside on the covered deck with our little one. We were so sad to leave and hope to visit again. Thanks for the amazing memories!

Awesome
This place was perfect for my husband and I, we are in our mid 60s and enjoyed the stay, sitting on the deck , watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee, or the sunset with a hot cocoa + something.....we used the second bedroom for our clothes, because the rooms are a little small, but we do that most of the time anyway....so no big deal for us....i just think it could be cleaner, it needs a long deep clean, like light switches, light hardware, inside the oven and id recommend to get some new pans foe the over, we cooked a turkey breat and were looking for a fitting pan, those i saw are disgusting but i bought my own, so other than that we had a wonderful stay.... Thank you very much...

We absolutely loved our stay. The porch was our main hang out all week to eat, drink coffee, talk, play games, and take naps. The few steps to the beach made it even better. Quaint house with a lot of character!
