Shoal Sisters offers the best in Oak Island Beach Cottage Units

Accepts Short Stays.

3 Bedroom / 2 Bathroom / Sleeps 6

Our sweet beach bungalow is tucked among some of the prettiest mature woodlands on the island. Located between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Beach, Shoal Sisters is a ideal choice for a vacation that is not battered by ocean winds and sand, but quietly perched in a family neighborhood. A two-min. drive (or one-mile walk) will have you at the oceanfront in a flash.  If you prefer to walk, we are just afew blocks from the beach walkover and the Oak Island Recreation Center! Our neighborhood is a jogger and dog walker’s dream: the well marked walkway at SE 31st Street provides a town kayak launch for the Davis Canal and a great view of the center of the island, not accessible by car. This is our favorite area to catch a great sunrise/sunset around the marshlands and to check out a lot of waterbirds. There is a secondary walking path at SE 20th so there is potential for a longer loop for the runners in your group!  Lush landscaping and a fabulous backyard make this a private coastal getaway. Roast smores in an outdoor fire, walk your furry friend down the friendly street, or comfortable up inside our open living space. With an upsized primary bedroom suite and two huge, cozy bedrooms sharing their own bath, you will have plenty of sleep time privacy. One story living with only a few steps at the front porch, Shoal Sisters is ideal for travelers who need to avoid stairs.

With a handsome Golf Club open to summer travelers and over 100 public water access points, there is an abundance of all things adventurous to do on Oak Island! 

If you'd like to keep your exercise routine going while on vacation, you can get an out-of-town Gym pass at Oak Island Recreation Center. Utilize the Rec Center's ample parking, put in at the Kayak ramp and spend hours kayaking our striking marshes.  Sit on the lawn and appreciate a nighttime off cooking at our Weekly Friday nighttime "Summer Concert In The Park" with a couple of local food truck options at this family-centric Live Music event. Beach Day takes place in Oak Island on the Friday prior to July 4th and features all day activities followed by fireworks on the island that evening.

Visit Historic Southport, a seafaring town just five miles from our island, for a bigger nightlife. Southport, at the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, features a variety of different eateries, bars, live music and shopping. It is one of our favorite places to walk around and check out different food and live music on the weekends. There are complimentary parking options all over town, and you can comfortably walk to dozens of places while appreciating the breeze from the riverfront and admiring historic homes and general store buildings that date back to the early 1800s. Southport's State Fourth of July Festival is a three-day street fair with artists from all over the state, vendors, and food. It is really like being in an Andy Griffith episode with the parade and sizable finale fireworks show over the riverfront in Southport.
We look forward to your visit!

Getting the best Wrightsville Beach vacation home experience:

Find your best deal:

• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Wrightsville Beach vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the best vacation rental:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Ask about $161.04 linen discount! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• During check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
