We'd like to welcome you to Back to the Beach!

How often can you feel the ocean mist tickle your toes while sitting on a covered porch, over looking the Atlantic? Or yell up your lunch order from the sand and know someone in the kitchen can hear it and tend to it ideally? Well, it's not rather that good, but it's pretty darn close at Back to the Beach on Oak Island. Our sweet, sunny, happy home is literally steps from the back door to the water and the closeness to the ocean creates an memorable experience for those who make it their home while visiting Oak Island. Everything just seems easier; no dreaded long walk dragging your every need for the day through hot sand, no fighting over who has to go back to the home to refill the cooler. And when the day is done, you can go straight from the beach to the shower with our entirely enclosed, heated water outdoor shower(because - who really wants to clean sand out of tubs while on vacation, anyway?!)

Back to the Beach is a short 0.2 of a mile from Middleton Road, which is the middle of the island. To the East is eateries, shopping, ice cream and miniature golf. To the West , marina, fishing, crabbing, and watching the sun set so close to you, you feel you could reach out and touch it. The new Lowes and Publix grocery stores are just mins. from our home.
