On the upper floor, the light neutral tones of the main living space soothe the senses and draw the eye to the beautiful horizon beyond. A curved sectional provides plenty of seating to gather and watch the big game on the wall-mounted Intelligent TV or appreciate the peaceful glow of the flames from the gas fireplace.

Each bedroom features its own private en-suite full bath and a flat screen TV for personal entertainment. Just off the kitchen, you’ll find the bunk room, with two twin-over-double bunk beds, and an attached bath with a standard tub/shower combo and double vanity. As you move down the hallway, the next bedroom is furnished with a king bed and the bathroom features a splendid tile step-in shower. At the end of the hall, a modest office space is furnished with a wall-to-wall desk, keyboard, mouse and monitor for those who still have to keep up with work or school. Across the way, a spa-like master suite contains a king size bed and direct porch access. The attached bath is furnished with a double vanity and an broad step-in tile shower that also contains a separate soaking tub within the shower enclosure.

The exact same bedroom and bathroom arrangement is echoed on the lower floor, with another bunk room and two more king bedrooms available on that level. As you exit the stairs, a second living area complete with a kitchenette is located to the left and provides access to the lower deck and pool area beyond. A modest exercise room is included off this space, complete with a Peloton bicycle, hand weights and yoga mats, a barre and a full-length mirror, along with your choice of the supplied TV or the ocean vistas beyond for motivation. The laundry room is just down the hall, featuring a full-sized stackable washer and dryer.

Venturing outside, you’ll find a gas grille available for outdoor entertaining, and you can’t beat the view from the pool and hot tub. Mostly shaded, there are two poolside lounge chairs and additional seating along with a sturdy wooden picnic table here. Your private wooden boardwalk stretches over the wetlands to the sand beyond, ensuring beach access is a breeze. The porches on both levels are furnished with ceiling fans for days when the sea breeze is a bit less enthusiastic. On the upper-level covered porch, you’ll find a comfortable outdoor couch facing the outdoor gas fireplace, along with additional seating facing the waves beyond.

The peaceful, private lot is centrally located on Oak Island, and is only a fast walk to Food Lion, eateries, mini golf and shopping. Located on a side street with extremely limited public beach access parking spaces, you’ll find this is one of the most uncrowded sections of Oak Island’s white sand beach even during the peak of the summer season. Whether you’re getting away with family, friends or a little bit of both, you can build the vacation of your dreams at Sandbox!
