You guys, let's talk about the elephant on the island first: this home sits on East Oak Island Drive, one of Oak Island's main routes. Yes, there is traffic out front. But before you scroll past it, this corner-lot setup has a little secret weapon: a circular drive that lets you pull in from either East Oak Island Drive or NE 26th Street and leave facing forward. No awkward backing out onto the main road, no driveway gymnastics. Just easy in, easy out, plus plenty of parking for guests, beach gear, a boat, RV, trailer, or that golf cart you are absolutely going to want. And once you step inside? The road feels a whole lot farther away. The home is quiet inside, and the covered back deck, grilling area, patio, fenced yard, and outdoor shower create a private little retreat out back. This bright, beautifully flexible 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is ready to work for the way you want to use it. Need a beach escape? Done. Want a second home that can help offset ownership costs with rental income? Also done. Looking for a roomy primary residence with space for guests, an adult child, aging parent, for multigenerational living? This one has layers. And here is one of the big Oak Island features buyers are always asking about: the home is already set up with an elevator shaft currently being used as owner storage. The electrical is in place, so there is a clear path to adding an elevator in the future, with installation estimated around $20,000. That is a huge plus for a home on pilings and makes this property even more flexible for long-term use. Want to explore it further? I am happy to connect you with an elevator company, help get quotes, and take some of that ''okay, but what would that really cost?'' homework off your plate. This home has been primarily enjoyed by family and friends over the years, but it is now professionally managed and booked through much of the summer, proving it can absolutely perform as a vacation rental when you are not using it. Think of it as your beach getaway that can also help carry its weight. Use it when you want, rent it during prime weeks when you are not here, and let those bookings help offset the mortgage and ownership costs. Upstairs, the open living, dining, and kitchen space is light, spacious, and made for gathering. The kitchen brings the counter space, island seating, and room for a crowd, while the dining area can easily accommodate a larger table for those ''everyone is coming over'' beach weekends. The primary suite offers generous space, a walk-in tile shower, and room for a king-size bed. A second bedroom, third bedroom, and Jack-and-Jill bath keep the upstairs layout easy and functional for family or guests. Downstairs adds a whole second living experience with its own living area, game or dining space, spacious bedroom, full bath, laundry room, and excellent storage. It is ideal for guests who want their own hangout zone, or it could work beautifully for multigenerational living. There is even potential to explore adding a kitchenette downstairs for an even more independent setup. The long tandem garage is another standout. Park a large vehicle, small boat, trailer, and golf cart, use it for beach toys and storage, or keep the current game-room vibe going. There is room to make this space fit your lifestyle, whether that means trucks, golf carts, paddleboards, bikes, a pool table, or all of the above. Outside, the fenced backyard is wonderfully low-maintenance and gives you room to dream a little. It can accommodate a great hot tub or swim spa, and there may also be room to explore a smaller pool option depending on the design and placement. I can help with that legwork too, whether that means connecting you with pool or spa companies, getting ideas on placement, or gathering quotes so you can make decisions with real numbers instead of guessing. Easy peezy. Not on a direct beach-access street? No problem. You can be at the beach in just a few minutes via Yacht Drive by gol the home gives you a great place to store it when you are back. You are also close to the Intracoastal Waterway, Veterans Park, and the public boat ramp at NE 55th Street, making this a fantastic option for boaters and coastal adventurers. The furniture comes with, creating an easy turnkey opportunity, and additional accessories or furnishing options may be negotiable for buyers who want the home ready to enjoy from day one. Bring your own style, keep the current setup, or let's talk about creating the beach home that fits your vision. This is not a cookie-cutter beach house. It is colorful, flexible, rental-ready, full of storage, and designed for real-life coastal living. Come see why this East Oak Island Drive corner might just be the best surprise on your home tour.
