Mint to Be: 4BR Luxury Retreat w/ Pool & Hot Tub Near Beach - Vacation rental home in Oak Island, NC

New Pool Added for 2026!

Brand-new and immaculately designed, Mint to Be is the kind of vacation home that instantly feels like it is meant for you. Perfectly located only 0.3 miles to beach access and even closer to local favorites like Salt 64, Oak Island Jungle Golf, and Lil John's Sweet Treat Ice Cream Parlor, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath hideaway blends casual comfort with elevated coastal living. From the two classy living spaces, gourmet kitchen, covered balcony, to the private hot tub and pool that can be heated or cooled, this is where memory-making days turn into comfortable nights.

Step inside to a sunlit, open-concept main living area that channels airy coastal appeal with a modern edge. Light floods through double sliding doors, highlighting gold accents, warm natural textures, and an inviting sectional ideal for sinking into after a day on the sand. Gather here for game nights, movie marathons on the flatscreen, or simply to savor the fireplace glow on cooler evenings. Step outside to the covered balcony, where you will find comfortable seating, Adirondack chairs, and ceiling fans that keep the ocean breeze moving while you sip, snack, or stargaze.

Just off the living area, the fresh kitchen is a true showstopper—roomy, sleek, and supplied for everything from morning pancakes to seafood feasts. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a drip coffee maker, a Keurig, Henkels knives, and a pantry outfitted with additional modest appliances (think blender/food processor combo and a crock pot), this kitchen is designed for entertaining. The upsized island seats 3, while the farmhouse-style dining table comfortably seats 10 with chairs and an extended bench.

The main-level primary suite is a calming escape, complete with a king bed, luxe coastal-modern furnishings, and an ensuite bathroom featuring a dual vanity and an upsized, floor-to-ceiling tiled walk-in shower. Upstairs, the second living space offers a cozy getaway with a couch, loveseat, flatscreen TV, and board games, ideal for the younger guests in your group, rainy afternoons, or unwinding after a sun-filled day.

Three more bedrooms await on this top level, each with thoughtful layouts to accommodate families and groups. The first bedroom on this floor features two queen beds and a private ensuite bath with a dual vanity and walk-in tiled shower. The remaining bedrooms share a gorgeously designed hallway bathroom featuring an extended dual vanity and a tub/shower combo wrapped in floor-to-ceiling tile. The next bedroom offers two queen beds, while the other includes a twin-over-twin bunk and a separate double bed — plenty of room for cousins, kiddos, or friends sharing the fun. You will also find a modest dedicated workspace that includes a monitor, an HDMI cord & a power strip, ideal for taking a fast Zoom call or getting some focused work done.

Outside, Mint to Be continues to impress. On the ground level, you will find a freshly installed heated or cooled pool, a private hot tub beneath the home strung with twinkle lights for that additional touch of magic. Please note that pool heating and cooling are optional for $100/day and must be purchased for the duration of your stay. The fenced-in yard offers privacy and play space, while a hammock, gas grille, and outdoor shower (with hot and cold water) make beach living effortless. Grab what you need for the day from the additional full-size refrigerator and beach gear stash—body boards, chairs, and corn hole boards are all yours to appreciate.

Other thoughtful touches include:
• Brand new front-load washer & dryer
• High chair for little guests
• Intelligent TVs in every bedroom
• Keyless entry + fast WIFI throughout
• Exterior doorbell and carport cameras for safety

Whether you are here for summer beach days, cozy off-season weekends, or a special celebration, Mint to Be brings together everything you appreciate about Oak Island with the luxuries you did not know you needed. From its polished design to its family-friendly layout, it is a home that feels painless, extravagant, and entirely yours—because the best getaways are the ones that feel like they were meant to be.
