Private Deep Water Dock and Pool with Inlet Views

Where do we begin? The exceptional outdoor spaces and private pool with awe-inspiring views, 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 incredible stay on Oak Island — all you need is your family and friends! You can even bring your boat (or rent one). Plus, this stunning West Beach home is only steps from the beach and has beach gear available, like chairs and a wagon.

You'll find the perfect blend of coastal-inspired outdoor and interior spaces to enjoy for entertaining or relaxing! The backyard oasis boasts a sparkling private pool, an expansive sundeck, a covered area with a bar and grill, and easy 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 perfect for afternoon naps. The oceanside front porch is also covered and provides an extra outdoor area with rocking chairs for relaxing while taking in the ocean breeze.

Inside, the main living space features those impressive views, beautiful vaulted ceilings, wainscoting details, and a surplus of seaside vibes! Gather together on the comfy couch in front of the gas fireplace to watch shows and movies on the flatscreen TV. Or, head to the fully-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 huge 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 numerous outdoor tables or the main dining table that seats up to 8.

The 4 spacious bedrooms are only steps away and provide a setup that's great for multi-generational families, a couples retreat, or a getaway with friends! The primary suite boasts luxurious traditional furniture, 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 large 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 explore, you'll be minutes 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?
