Pet-friendly, fully-fenced yard, minutes to beach

First floor spacious master bedroom with a king bed and with a full bathroom. Dog friendly, fenced in backyard and screened in back porch.

Oak Island is 9 miles of a family-friendly beach vacation getaway making it the perfect place for your Family to escape “City Woes” and trade them for “Sandy Toes”.
Conveniently located between the intercostal waterway and the beach, “City Woes to Sandy Toes” is 0.8 mile to the beach on foot using a very scenic walkway. Those who prefer to drive can use NE 40th street for a convenient, direct route to one of our favorite beach accesses. Whether walking, biking or driving the most direct routes from the house lead to one of the most desirable beach strands on the island. A plethora of restaurants and shopping are just 2 miles away on E Oak Island Dr.
Plenty of tourist attractions include Southport, Bald Head Island by ferry, Fort Fisher by ferry and Wilmington. The area is rich in history and educational opportunities such as Fort Fisher Aquarium, the USS North Carolina Battleship, the Oak Island light house and Fort Caswell.

Floor plan:
“City Woes to Sandy Toes” is a two-story home with a driveway and fenced-in backyard. The first floor has the master bedroom suite with one king bed and an attached bathroom: full tub w/shower, toilet and sink. The living room has a half bathroom. There are two bedrooms on the second floor. One has a queen bed and connects to a full bathroom with a toilet, a sink and a tub w/shower. The other has a daybed with a twin mattress and a twin trundle that pulls out from below it. There is a rollaway twin-sized bed in the closet of the master bedroom that can be set up in the living room for an extra bed. In all there are in total of 5 beds that accommodate up to 7 guests.

The fully equipped kitchen has most common household appliances, equipment and utensils as well as laundry nook with stacked washer and dryer. The screened-in porch off the back of the kitchen has a dining table and chairs plus a propane grill and the fenced-in backyard has a hammock!

Perfect Beach Getaway
We had the best weekend getaway at this cozy little house. We can’t say enough about the great neighborhood/location. We walked to the beach both days and just felt totally relaxed. They’ve thought through everything- it was very comfortable and cooking was easy! Definitely would stay here again!

Perfect Beach Getaway
You would think living ten minutes from the “Jersey Shore”, one wouldn’t drive ten plus hours to go to the beach, but this cozy cottage’s close location to the beautiful beaches of Oak Island, NC were exactly what we needed to get away from the hectic traffic of the Jersey Shore. The home’s location is a perfectly quiet little road with so little traffic, it felt good to take our dog for a walk. The neighbors stopped to chat with us like old friends, and it felt like home. The beaches were big and not crowded, and it was just pleasant to unwind from the daily grind here. We found the perfect little burger joint in Little Bit’s Grill, and enough souvenir shops to find gifts for the family. Food stores were all close and easy to find to pack lunches for the beach. And it just felt wonderful to sit back, and relax! If we ever find our way to Oak Island again, I will definitely return to City Woes to Sandy Toes!

Oak Island House
Clean property, our small dog enjoyed the fenced in yard. The house had everything we needed during our stay. We spent a lot of time on the screened in back patio. Located on a quiet street. We rented a golf cart to get around.

The house was very clean. it was easy to locate. easy to enter and exit parking. The fenced in back yard provided a semiprivate and secure feeling. Easy access to both intercoastal waterway and ocean beaches. I would definitely rent and stay again the next time on Oak Island.

We loved our family weekend stay at City Woes to Sandy Toes!
This was a perfect location for my husband, son, our 2 dogs and I to stay for a weekend in Oak Island visiting family for the holidays. First most important thing for me is a good mattress because of back issues, a bad mattress can trigger pain. Here the master bedroom mattress did not disappoint!! I'm going home back pain free. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen including filtered water ready for us and coffee. Bathrooms were very clean. Everything was labeled like light switches for ease of use. Location is fabulous, near everything including the awesome restaurant, Fixins, that my brother owns on the Island. Our 2 dogs loved the spacious fenced backyard and the screened in porch. Glen and Min were very responsive hosts ! We'll be back! Thank you!
