Welcome to Moonshine Creek, a relaxing canal-front getaway tucked beneath the live oaks on striking Oak Island!

One of our favorite parts of Moonshine Creek is the rear sleeping and sitting area.

The studio also includes a separate bunk nook with two twin beds and a loveseat, making the space a great option for a modest family. You'll find two comfortable sitting areas, a TV, books and games for the family, Wi-Fi, and a gas wall heater that creates an especially cozy ambiance during fall and winter getaways. An additional window A/C unit is located in the bedroom area for added comfort during our warmer coastal months.

Fresh paint, newer furnishings, beds, linens, and thoughtfully selected décor give Moonshine Creek a clean, comfortable, refreshed feel.

We even provide a selection of beach toys for our guests to enjoy. When you return from the beach, rinse away the sand in the convenient outdoor shower before heading inside.

The owners really appreciate this property and adore sharing their little piece of Oak Island heaven with others. They're happy to say hello, chat, answer a question, or share a local recommendation—but they're equally happy to give you your space and allow you to enjoy a peaceful, private hideaway.
