122 2nd Street, Oak Island

A 10 minute walk or 5 minute golf cart ride to the beach is hard to find on Oak Island, and this home has it. Just two blocks from Middleton Avenue, it sits near the quiet end of a dead-end street shaded by live oaks, close to everything without feeling like it. Inside, a tall entry foyer opens to the main living space, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together. The primary bedroom is on the first floor, with a half bath nearby for guests. Upstairs, three more bedrooms share a full bath, and one has a loft nook the kids will claim on day one. The outdoor spaces are where this home really shines. There's a back deck and screened porch for slow mornings, a hot tub for the end of a beach day, and a fire pit for evenings looking out toward the Davis Canal. An outdoor shower, storage shed, and no HOA make it just as easy to own as a full-time home or a rental.
