Where do we begin? The exceptional outdoor spaces and private pool with awe-inspiring vistas, the deep water dock that extends to the Montgomery Slough, or the well-appointed interior? With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, The Crab Shack offers everything for an impressive stay on Oak Island — all you need is your family and friends! You can even bring your boat (or rent one). Plus, this striking West Beach home is only steps from the beach and has beach gear available, like chairs and a wagon.
You'll find the ideal blend of coastal-inspired outdoor and interior spaces to savor for entertaining or calming! The backyard getaway features a shining private pool, an broad sundeck, a covered area with a bar and grille, and simple access to the deep water dock. Upstairs, you'll discover a massive covered balcony at the back of the home that overlooks the inlet and offers ample seating, a dining table, and a daybed ideal for afternoon naps. The oceanside front porch is also covered and provides an additional outdoor area with rocking chairs for relaxing while taking in the ocean breeze.
Inside, the main living space features those impressive vistas, handsome vaulted ceilings, wainscoting details, and a surplus of oceanside vibes! Gather together on the comfortable couch in front of the gas fireplace to watch shows and movies on the flatscreen TV. Or, head to the completely-equipped chef's kitchen to prepare your favorite drinks and culinary delights. It's outfitted with everything you'll need — including stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and a giant center island with bar seating for up to 3. If you happen to get a bit crabby without a morning coffee, the Keurig coffee maker here at The Crab Shack will do just the trick. And, when it's time to sit down for a meal, you can choose from the many outdoor tables or the main dining table that seats up to 8.
The 4 cavernous bedrooms are only steps away and provide a setup that's great for multi-generational families, a couples getaway, or a hideaway with friends! The primary suite features opulent traditional furnishings, a king-size bed, and a flatscreen TV that can be adjusted to your preferred location by its swivel mount. Its ensuite bathroom delivers a spa-like experience with a double vanity and a enormous walk-in shower featuring floor-to-ceiling tile. Heading down the hall, you'll find a 2nd primary suite with a queen-size bed, flatscreen tv, and ensuite bathroom outfitted with a tub/shower combination and an extended vanity. The two remaining bedrooms are both equipped with a set of twin-size beds, flatscreen TVs, and share a bathroom featuring a tub/shower combination and extended vanity.
There's no way for us to include all the amenities you'll find at The Crab Shack — like the laundry room with a full-size washing machine and dryer, high-speed wireless internet, and an outdoor shower! And, when it's time to discover, you'll be mins. from The Point, Lone Rider at Oak Island, the Ocean Crest Pier, and all the top attractions in the area. What are you waiting for?
