About this property

Fishy Fishy Up & Down 7 BR 3.5 BA beach home @ Yaupon OKI Pier & 801 Event Ctr!

  • Welcome to Fishy Fishy our 7 BR Oak Island Beach home located across the street from Yaupon Oak Island Pier and the 801 Event Center with direct access to the beach. This is a designated handicap-accessible location with Mobi-Mat and a hardened ramp structure with public restrooms. At Yaupon Oak Island Pier, you can fish, rent rods, purchase bait, walk the pier, or dine and drink at Koko Cabana and Ruby's Coffee.

    Fishy Fishy Up & Down is the entire 7 BR Stacked Duplex house with a 3 BR unit upstairs and a 4 BR unit downstairs.

    The entire duplex house was recently completely gutted and rebuilt from the inside out.

    One property with three rental configurations:
    Fishy Fishy Up & Down...7 BR 3.5 BA...(The entire 7 BR, 2 unit together house VRBO #914232)
    Fishy Fishy Up...3 BR 1 FBA...(The upstairs 3 BR unit VRBO #5481339)
    Fishy Fishy Down...4 BR 2.5 BA...(The downstairs 4 BR unit VRBO #5481355)

    All bedrooms have new 12-inch Medium Firm Memory Foam Queen Mattresses and bed frames, TVs, ceiling light fans, and blackout curtains. Each rental unit includes free high-speed Wi-Fi, board games, W/D, HVAC, D/W, and fully equipped kitchens.

    Fishy Fishy Down is a 4BR 2.5 BA unit with a spacious backyard with a large deck, fire pit, table and chairs, 4 Adirondack chairs, and two beach lounge chairs. The downstairs unit sleeps up to 8 people.

    Fishy Fishy Up is a 3BR 1FBA unit with a large "tree house" deck with picnic table and 6 Adirondack chairs. The Upstairs unit sleeps up to 6 people.

    Lots of Parking! There are 4-5 spots on the gravel parking pad (downstairs unit) and a separate driveway that also has space for 4-5 cars (upstairs unit).

    The downstairs unit and upstairs unit of this duplex house have separate parking areas, separate entrances, and separate large outside decks.

    There is a common outside shower that has both hot and cold water, and small utility fish sink cleaning station adjacent to the garage.

    The lower unit has a gravel parking pad in front of the house and deck in the rear of the house. The upper unit has driveway parking to the side of the house and a “treehouse” deck in the front of the house.

    Keyless door lock entries to each unit provide easy access to this NON-SMOKING and PET-FREE duplex home.

    Fishy Fishy is conveniently located within a 2–5-minute walking distance to Yaupon Oak Island Pier, Ruby's Coffee, Koko Cabana restaurant and bar, and Lazy Turtle Bar and Grill.

    It is also walking/driving distance to Fixins OKI, Swain's, Tipsy Tuna, Shagger Jacks, Grape & Ale, Thai Noodle House, Second Wind and more!

    Oak Island Golf Club (open to the public) and Duffer's Pub & Grill are short 5-minute drive. Oak Island Lighthouse and Caswell Beach are a 10-minute drive.

    Southport, a 20-minute drive, is a picturesque maritime town located at the intersection of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway with stunning views of Bald Head Island and Oak Island lighthouse. Its scenic beauty has made it a popular filming location for numerous movies and TV shows. Southport offers deep military and pirate history, natural and architectural beauty, and a walkable area for shopping, dining, and the arts when you need a break from the beach or fishing.

    A fun day trip from Southport to Fort Fisher (Pleasure Island) using the vehicle-and-passenger ferry giving you direct road access to Kure Beach, Carolina Beach, NC Aquarium, and Ft. Fisher State Historic Site. Bald Head Island (passenger-only ferry) is also accessible from the Southport Ferry Terminal. Oak Island truly has the best of all worlds!

    You will LOVE Fishy Fishy’s convenient location to the beach, pier, restaurants, and all the action!

This was the nicest house we have stayed at over the last 10 years we’ve been visiting oak Island

The rental was spacious, stocked with anything you could need, the cleanest ever with comfortable beds. Having both the screened porch n wrap around was very nice. We have family there so we have a lot of visitors. We were able to get in on time n the location was perfect

Perfect beach cottage

My friends and I (3) wanted to investigate Oak Island and the surrounding area. Being right on the beach was pure heaven. The beach is lovely. The cottage is nicely situated on the Island. Southport is a n easy drive. The house was clean and the kitchen was well enough appointed for our arrival with everything we needed. The beds are very comfortable.

A Little Piece of Paradise... We loved this place!

My boys and I had such a peaceful relaxing time here this spring! The beach is clean and un-crowded. The owners are responsive and helpful. We were near enough to attractions, but far enough to avoid a lot of tourist traffic. The kitchen and bedrooms were tidy, comfortable, and well-equipped. We had everything we needed to create a comfortable, easy vacation. We look forward to returning!

OKI Labor Day Fun

We stayed at this cute little cottage over Labor Day weekend. It had everything we needed and very nicely decorated. The views from the deck were spectacular. The only issue we had was the dunes are washed out so if the tide comes in it floods at the bottom of the stairs and under the house. Other than that our stay was wonderful. Would rent this place again.

Great Beach Vacation!

The house was very clean at check in and the owner had everything very well organized. Most beach houses I feel I have to clean when I get there but not this one. Just settled in and started relaxing. Cozy house with great view of the beach. Money well spent. everything in the house worked as it should AND weather was great!

Great relaxing vacation

My family always went to Oak Island when I was growing up so I am familiar with it as a vacation spot. Quiet, family friendly. Beaches aren't crowded and they are clean. This house was the perfect place for my friend and I to spend the week. Oceanfront so we always heard the waves and could enjoy the ocean breeze. The screened in porch was amazing and we spent a lot of our time out there. The house itself was clean and came equipped with everything you might need for your stay. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Beach Cottage

We had a fantastic time at Oak Island in this cozy cottage. The kitchen is nicely equipped. Beds were super comfy. Appreciated the streaming TVs in the rooms. We enjoyed the screened covered porch and large deck. Beach access was just a couple houses away on either side, accessible from the back yard. Unfortunately, the new dunes are quite high and now block much of the ocean view from the deck. The location was excellent. We had a wonderful week here and would recommend it highly.

8/10 Good

Clean, efficient and sleeps 7! Perfect view and location.

The layout of the cottage is really well done, small but cozy. The master bath is very small but the other full bath is quite roomy and both baths meets everyone's needs. Having a washer and dryer available is so handy, especially for an extended stay. The real story here is the location and view. What you see in this photo is exactly what you get; pure beach and sea with nothing in between. The sounds of the surf 24/7 is soothing and restful. Every day you watch the sun rising on the left and setting on the right. Response to any needs are handled quickly and within minutes by the owner. Breakfast and other restaurants are within easy distances, as are museums, water activities and airport.

Lovely location in classic beach house

This is a great, old-school beach house with a large deck and gorgeous views. We arrived after a hurricane had damaged quite a bit of the area, but only cosmetically on this property. So we were there in off-season (mid-September). Very well equipped kitchen, all manner of pots and pans. TV & AC, very easy to manage. I say this as some places tv/remotes are quite confusing. My only suggestion is to bring eye covers to sleep as there are only white plastic blinds on windows, no curtains, so a lot of light comes in (from street, neighbors flood lights, sun in the morning). Great hosts who were quick to respond to questions etc. We would rent again!

Great Place Right on the Beach

We had a great stay, and the owner was very responsive when we had a question. The house was clean and comfortable. Loved the back deck, screened in porch and ocean view. If you are staying, the house has blankets and pillows, but bring your own linens and towels. There is a microwave and coffee pot, and there were were even filters there for us and some coffee in the cabinets. The kitchen was fully stocked, just bring your own food. There is a television in every room, and netflix, too. At the time of our visit, Oak Island had put up dunes, so there isn't beach access directly from the back of the house, even though it is right on the beach. To get to the beach, you need to walk a very short distance, just two houses down.
