About this property

Bright and Beachy Oceanfront Condo - Linens included!

This first floor walkup condo has a beach cottage feel with all the modern conveniences. Load up your beach cart and spend all day chasing the sun (or kids!) between the pool and the ocean - they are steps away. An outside shower and a downstairs lockable storage closet means less sand and gear for you to worry about. Upon check in your linens will be fresh on the beds for you and hung on towel rods so that you don't have to bring them from home or unwrap expensive uncomfortable rental linens and spend the first hour of your vacation making beds (and this is included in the price of your rental without additional fee!) When the tides turn, settle in, watch TV or Netflix while you prepare meals on granite countertops in your fully stocked kitchen, and then have dinner watching the sunset from your private balcony. Blackout curtains, memory foam mattresses, and contemporary bedding mean the sound of the waves will be the last thing you hear before blissful slumber. The Oak Island Golf Course is right across the street or hop on a ferry in charming Southport over to the NC Aquarium in Fort Fisher. Whatever you do, unplug the stress at home and plug in your vacation treat yo self mode!

We like walking into the smell of a clean condo (and like our guests knowing that it's been cleaned!) so we use scented cleaning products, FYI.

Monthly/long term rentals in the winter season (Nov-March) only via inquiry.

Perfect location!

Our stay at Toes In The Water was great. I love visiting the beach in the off season and this was a perfect find. The property was a nice complex, and although the weather was not sunny, it provided us a great place to see the ocean and was far enough away to not have bustling traffic but close enough to get to Oak Island or Southport. Would come back when we are back in the area again! The condo was updated and beds were comfy. We loved the view!

Very comfortable condo with beautiful sunsets!

Caswell Beach is a great locale for a family getaway, even in December, and this condo is set-up to make your stay a fun and comfortable one. HUGE sectional sofa, lots of TV viewing options if you can tear yourself away from the ocean views off the deck. Grandkids loved the bunkbed. Brandon and Stuart are great hosts and their welcome book is the best we've seen yet! We could have happily stayed longer.

We stayed in the condo last year and decided to come back because of its perfect location, amenities, and cleanliness of the condo. We were enlighten to come back to the new sectional sofa, the perfect upgrade to this unit. We will definitely be back!

Comfortable

Tropical storm Debbie changed our plans but we had a beautiful area in which to watch the rain. The owners kept us informed of the storm and checked on us. Everyone we met in Oak Island was friendly. We traveled to Southport as well. We are hoping to come back in better weather and explore the ocean. Are only compliant is someone was smoking in the pool area.

In the shadow of the lighthouse…

This is a lovely little spot! It is just a few miles down the road from the Oak Island Lighthouse, and within 15 minutes of historic Southport. There are plenty of great eating spots close by, and, again, Southport has some wonderful cuisine as well. We greatly enjoyed our time here as well as Oak Island. The decor of the property is well maintained and clean. The tech is up-to-date, with streaming capable TVs. All in all this property is definitely worth a stay! 😀

Long weekend at Oak Island

We wanted to explore Oak Island , St James, and Southport and your condo was the perfect base for our stay. Everything in the condo was spotless, and functional. We spent our days exploring and enjoyed sitting on the balcony listening to the ocean every night, then turning in to your very comfortable bed. There was more storage than we needed , even if we had stayed for a week or more. Showers were also a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately we had useable but not great weather so we got to walk the beach and sit for a time at the pool, but didn’t get the beach time we were hoping for. Everything you set up for us was very helpful. We did not use the TVs and didn’t get past the setup page on the TV menus.To be honest we didn’t try very hard as we had little real interest in TV and much preferred looking at the ocean from the balcony. Thanks for a great experience.

Great location and view!

Very small condo with an amazing location. The beach is literally in your backyard with very easy access. The place was clean and comfortable. My only complaint was the towel situation. I'm a big girl with a lot of hair and those tiny towels didn't cut it. Luckily I had an extra beach towel I could use. Also, more washcloths would be nice. 1 per person for a 3 night stay won't work. Next time I'd bring my own towels and washcloths. Don't hesitate to book this place!

Three months at the beach

We had an amazing three month stay here (Jan. - Mar. 2024). The condo is right on top of the beach and the views were spectacular, especially in the afternoon when the sun hit the water at just the right angle. Hard to describe - you have to see it! The condo was perfectly maintained and communication with the hosts was excellent. A few minor issues were promptly resolved. The location is excellent: short drives to many restaurants on Oak Island and Southport an easy 10 minute drive away. Highly recommend Bright & Beachy (or Toes in the Water as it is also known).

A gem! Fabulous

This place is absolutely perfect if you want to get to a beach quick, see the beach from a balcony, or just listen to the waves from the confort of your VRBO! It is well furnished and spacious with comfortable beds, pillows and extra blankets. The washer/dryer is a plus! The kitchen had everything needed to eat in and relax. Check in was easy, response was quick, and checkout clearly written and easy to complete. We will check here 1st when we return to check on availability! We loved everything about this place!

About the host

Hosted by Stuart and Brandon

Host profile image
Brandon and I (Stuart) are real estate investors with young families that love the beach! We live in the Piedmont of NC, about 4 hours away from the beach, and in Austin, TX. We are thankful to have supportive spouses who understand and let us pursue our dreams.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for an opportunity at one of NC's amazing beaches. It was empty and needed a lot of love. We have spent lots of time and effort creating a comfortable retreat that is equipped with all the modern conveniences. You can't beat the quiet beaches, the amazing views, and the quintessential NC beach town vibe. We love it on season and off season.

What makes this property unique

It's a beachfront, pool front condo with amazing views and yet still affordable for most travelers!
