Appreciate the peaceful solitude of Oak Island at Heads Carolina, a new construction home finished in July of 2024. Featuring a private backyard pool getaway, modern beachy vibe and open floor plan, there’s plenty of space to gather both inside and out as you build memories to last a lifetime.

The cavernous common area is bright and inviting, with recessed lighting throughout, relaxing sage green and white walls and accents in warm wood and sandy neutrals. Parlor on the couch to watch a favorite move on the sizable, wall-mounted flatscreen TV, or appreciate a hand of cards or evening meal at the sturdy dining table, which seats at least six comfortably. Four additional bar stools are available for the breakfast bar and sleek counter-height desk, an ideal perch for those who may still need to keep up with work or school while away from home. The completely outfitted kitchen features gleaming stainless-steel appliances along with plenty of counter and storage space. A sliding barn door leads to the laundry room, where a full-sized washer and dryer are included so that sandy towels and swimsuits are ready for the next day’s adventures.

Just off the living room, the master bedroom features a king bed, a wall-mounted flatscreen TV and an attached private bath with a double vanity and step in shower. On the opposite side of the home, you’ll find the second bedroom, furnished with a queen bed and wall-mounted TV, as well as the bunk room, equipped with two twin-over-twin bunk beds. Between these two spaces is a full bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo and hall access.

Beyond the kitchen, the green of the surrounding trees beckons you out to the screened porch overlooking the pool. The ceiling fan ensures comfort even on days without a strong breeze, and furnishings for calming and dining make this a amazing spot to spend evenings with a drink in hand as the swimmers in your group splash below. Around the pool, you’ll find plenty more seating and a gas grille. Sway in the hammock chair and savor the shade below the home! The enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water is ideal for rinsing off sand after a long day at the beach. The front porch features both covered and open sections and looks out over a peaceful, tree lined neighborhood street. Savor your well-deserved respite with a stay at Heads Carolina!
