OCEAN FRONT, 4BR, 2BA, FENCED YARD, PET FRIENDLY, Walkable to shops/restaurants

Welcome to “The Boys of Summer Rental”! We’ve recently given this classic Oceanfront Cottage a fresh new look. You’ll love the new decking board on the porch and sun deck, all-new furniture and mattresses, appliances, windows, and doors. We’ve even repainted the whole place to make it feel brand new.

You’ll be right on the beach! The fenced-in yard gives you direct access to the ocean. Enjoy stunning sunset views from the sun deck or the covered large porch. Take a relaxing walk on the four rocking chairs, lounge on your private deck, or enjoy an outdoor dinner on the picnic table. And if you need to run errands, there’s a 5-minute walk to the restaurants, shops, and grocery store.

The yard is fully fenced in, making it a great place for kids and pets. Just a heads up, there’s a 1-pet limit of up to 100 lbs.

Inside, the cottage is fresh and airy with beautiful ocean views from the kitchen, dining, and family room. The family room has an HDTV, Netflix, and fast Wi-Fi for everyone. The dining room seats 6 or you can use the bar stools around the fully equipped kitchen. We’ve got a new refrigerator with a dual ice maker and plenty of cabinets and utilities. The front two bedrooms have sliding glass doors that open to oceanfront views. All three bedrooms have HDTVs. The kids’ room has twin beds with a full-size washer and dryer.

If the dates you’re looking for are already booked, check out our other pet-friendly oceanfront property on 5507 E Beach Drive. It’s just a few doors down.

Perfect getaway
The Boys of Summer was the perfect place for our vacation with friends. The fenced in yard was great for the furbaby. Can’t beat being right on the beach with the most gorgeous sunsets! The house was clean and equipped with all the necessities. The beds were comfortable. Our hosts were very responsive. Will definitely be back.

This was a perfect location for a family get away. We had easy access to the beach, a beautiful view and plenty of room for everyone to relax. My favorite moments were coffee at sunrise on the porch, even in December.

Exactly what we needed for a getaway
Great stay at The Boys if Summer, even though summer is unfortunately long gone. Plenty of room in the house, comfortable bed and couch in the living room. Also very nice to see a place that has an actual large screen tv instead of a little tv in a corner. Yes I know it’s the beach but there are still some rainy cooler days where it’s nice to have it available.Yard was perfect sized for our four legged companion to be able to go out for nature calls. The two tiered deck was a nice feature with the deck chairs out in the full sun or having the option to sit under the covered portion.We would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a great location right on the beach and convenient to stores and shops without having other houses right on top of you.

Great beach house
Excellent place to stay, especially with a dog. Yard is fenced and back porch also has a gate. Very easy beach access from back yard of house. Able to easily transport supplies and dog back and forth. Great ocean view from porch. Walkable to great restaurants, 2 grocery stores, beach shop, and mini-golf. Town Park and Rec loaned us a beach wheelchair, which was also very helpful. You can also drive dog to nearby Caswell beach for off-leash time before 9 am.

Wonderful Beach Stay
We have stayed in Edisto, Ocean Isle, and once before in Oak Island. This stay was the best of all of them! The house was well-equipped and clean. It had a fenced yard and was close to everything that we needed including a large dog park. The owners were very responsive to our questions during the inquiry process, and the check-in process, and answered questions once we arrived at their home. We would highly recommend this property for a wonderful beachfront vacation!

Beautiful View!!
This stay was everything we wanted and more! Right on the ocean, the view was fantastic! Walking on the beach everyday was just what we wanted to do, very calming. The Boy of Summer house was exactly as described and pictured, you will not be disappointed. The town was beautiful to drive around and while (in January) a lot of restaurants were closed for off season, the places we went to were great. You can be confident of getting exactly what you want booking this house!

A great trip
We very much enjoyed this cozy beach house! We are two couples, so it was wonderful to give each couple their own bed/bath area. The location is perfect! We found plenty of restaurants, beaches, and fun at this house. We also spent many hours just sitting on the porch watching the waves. Thank you for the full-size w/d! That’s a huge bonus!

Perfect Getaway
We loved every minute. The house was beautiful! We enjoyed the proximity of the shops and places to eat. The views from the bedrooms and living room were amazing. Luckily, the weather was nice, so we enjoyed eating at the picnic table, rocking on the porch, walking the beach, and relaxing in the hammocks. Our hosts were quick to respond & always very friendly. It was our first visit to Oak Island, and we loved it!

Delightful week at the beach
This beach house gave us everything we were hoping for from our vacation. It was comfortable, cozy, and airy, with a layout that offered some alone time when we needed it. Best of all was its spot on the beach. Swimming often was effortless, and we got to experience lovely sunrises and sunsets every day. Just sitting on the porch watching a storm blow in felt special. We had one small need during our stay, and the hosts couldn't have been more responsive. Loved it.

Perfect spot for a family beach vacation
The *boys of summer* was an ideal spot for our family beach time at the gorgeous oak island — we came with our 9&11 year old kiddos plus an uncle and a set of grandparents. We loved cooking in the kitchen, eating out on the deck, taking afternoon snoozes on the hammock. Being right on the beach with an easy access was ideal - while also being in walking distance to the grocery store, beach store and of course the donut & ice cream shops. Comfortable beds & linens, shower towels, and a great living room meant we were more than comfortable throughout our stay. Hope to return again next year!

Perfect House for Our Family Vacation!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Boys of Summer rental! Our family gathered together and enjoyed a fantastic vacation. The house, amenities and location were just what we needed for our week-long vacation. Four generations were able to enjoy time together and our Gram says the location was "glorious"!
