“Shore is Beautiful" is a five (5) bedroom two (2) full bathroom house (plus a 3rd large outdoor shower). Located right on the oceanfront. Enjoy the unobstructed views! See the ocean from every room in the house. Hop off the large deck and put your toes in the sand. Perfect spot for your vacation!

The house boasts an open and inviting living area with an electric fireplace and TV with Roku. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the supplies you need. There is a dishwasher and a full size washing machine and dryer.

Five bedrooms total: the 3 bedrooms downstairs include upgraded luxury pillowtop mattresses and Serta memory foam cooling pillows. The primary bedroom has a queen and full bath.

Enjoy time on the new front or side decks and listen to the waves crash. For those hot summer days, enjoy the cool sitting area under the house or hang up your eno or hammock. The large outdoor shower has hot and cold water.

There are plenty of activities in the area if enjoying the beach isn't the only thing you want to do. The town of Oak Island has tennis, pickle-ball, and basketball courts. You can also play on the soccer or baseball field or take the little ones to the splash pad. If you like to fish, it's a great place to surf fish right out your back door, head 2 miles to the pier, or try your luck on the inter-coastal waterway.

Enjoyed our stay

We made a last minute decision for a weekend (2 days prior) and the property manager was quick to respond and very accommodating. We had 2 adults, 6 teens and 2 younger kids and the space was perfect for us.

Shire is Beautiful earns the name

This is a second visit to the property and we love the location and the view. Just a few suggestions-- the sliders need some work-they stick and one did not have screens-so we could not enjoy the ocean sounds. We appreciate the linen service very much.

Good location, right on the beach. Next to public access, but it was not a problem. Genius access code. Easy to remember. Why isn’t this method used for all digital locks???

If only the A/C hadn’t stopped working…

This house was in the perfect location and was working well for our group, but unfortunately the A/C stopped working around noon the day before we were due to check out. We contacted the host, who contacted HVAC services but they were unable to get there until 8p that night. It got up to 86 degrees downstairs in the house, hotter upstairs (where our little kids would be sleeping) when we decided to drive home that night around 6p, as it was not possible to sleep in those conditions and we were concerned the issue may not be resolved that night. When we asked the host to refund the night we were unable to stay, they stopped responding to my messages. If the A/C incident followed by being ignored by the hosts hadn’t occurred, I would have recommended this house.

Beach house

The stay was great. The house was not maintained well and I had to contact VRBO immediately to help me get in. I cleaning out the bathroom drain myself because the person bringing batteries for the door lock that did not work when I got there did not know how to do that. There was no offer to get a plumber. The stay was great after that.

Location and views beat everything!

The view, and location to the quiet beach was incomparable to any other. The shower downstairs and hose on the deck made up for the small bathrooms inside and honestly made the trip 10x better and easier!

Wish we could have stayed longer...

5 teachers came down for the weekend. It was cold and rainy most of the time but we didn't care. The views of the ocean were easily enjoyed on the couches with coffee or cocktails, music, puzzles, and books. The view is incredible. Cozy and divey beach town. We loved it.

Winter Girls trip

We enjoyed a winter girls trip with four ladies. Overall the property was nice. The location was great and the views and deck were fantastic. The deck was very recently built/updated and was nice!! The living room furniture is different than the pictures and pillows and such were very worn out.(but useable!) We paid for the sheets and towels, and were given a good number of towels for four people. The sheets were terrible, unfortunately. They were very very thin with lots of pilling and worn out. (I saw other reviewers had complained about this) Recommend bringing your own. Kitchen gadgets are very worn out. Can opener is not really usable and would recommend bringing your own. Overall cleanliness was ok. Shower curtain was moldy and bathroom rugs needed washing. Bring your own hairdryer as there isn’t one on property. Overall, this was a decent stay, and would be a really great stay with a few updates or improvements. Nothing that will stop you from having fun and enjoying the beach.

December is a great time to go to the beach!

Shore is Beautiful was truly the perfect spot for our week long family vacation! Sunrises and sunsets were glorious! The house had ample space for all 8 of us and the kitchen was well stocked. There was a slight glitch when we arrived, but that was soon taken care of as was a toilet in need of repair on another day. The sliding glass door needs high-powered elbow grease to get it open and shut. Over-all Shore is Beautiful was a good choice!
