Healing Waters. When you book a hideaway, that is what you are looking for. Somewhere to relax & have fun. In this oceanfront bungalow one of your favorite spots may be sitting on the deck, overlooking the ocean & feeling the effect of those Healing Waters. Smell that fresh salt air. Feel those salubrious breezes. Put your toes in the warm sand. Take a dip into the ocean, the Healing Waters. In the heat of the day, relax on the covered deck & take in all the beauty that being oceanfront affords. Oak Island is unusual on the East Coast in that we have a South facing beach. Bring your camera & coffee to watch the sun rise over the water & in the evening pour a glass of wine to watch the sun set, also over the water.

There is a private walkway leading you over the 1st set of dunes to a path through the 2nd set of dunes to the shoreline.
