Welcome to the Rusty Anchor! This home is perfectly located off the Middleton bridge which means easy access to stores, downtown Oak Island, and of course - The Beach! A short, safe stroll down the sidewalks will take you directly to the beach where you can spend your days on the sand. Enjoy the many different accesses on Oak Island's 14 miles of south facing beach.
Start your day off with some morning coffee on the front porch, rocking away as you listen to the waves crash. Or have breakfast al-fresco on the large deck with patio table and chairs! Grab your beach chairs (up to 8 provided with 2 beach buggies) and head down to the beach for a day of fun in the sun. Come an go as you please since the home is a short walk to the sand.
After a day in the waves, come home to relax and unwind. The well equipped kitchen is a cook's dream, perfect for preparing meals for the whole family.

After your day is done, spend the evening around the fire pit toasting marshmallows and hotdogs. You can also enjoy a game of cornhole in the large driveway or side yard. The fully fenced backyard is perfect for the pets and kids to run and play. Or simply relax and gaze at the stars - very little tree cover helps maximize your viewing opportunities.
Once it's time to retire, choose from one of the 3 bedrooms. The primary suite features a king bed, a large desk and a television with en-suite full bath. The middle bedroom, or bunk room, is perfect for the kids. A 'twin over full' bunk bed and twin bed allows for ample sleeping space for everyone - tv included.

The house was very charming. Kitchen was kind of small but that was okay. Loved the front porch, always a breeze.
Bedrooms were good. We enjoyed our time there.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Rusty Anchor. About a 10 minute walk to the beach. Very clean upon arrival. Had everything we needed. Our family really enjoyed our trip. Nice backyard for the dogs. We really liked having access to beach chairs, wagon, and beach toys. Saved room for packing. We love Oak Island and hope to be back soon!
The Rusty Anchor was a great little getaway. The house was a little smaller than expected for our group, but overall it worked out wonderfully for us. The property was a quick walk to the beach. The neighborhood was very quiet which allowed us to spend most of our time at the house in the backyard enjoying the weather. The dogs enjoyed the freedom of having a fenced in yard. We would love to come back and stay again sometime.
Loved this cute house that had everything we needed for a mini beach vacay. Lots of towels, comfy beds, and just a 15 min walk to the beach. Grocery stores are nearby and it’s in a less crowded location. Clean and cozy. Would definitely stay here again!
