Description

6 Bedrooms | 3.5 Baths
3 Kings | 3 Sets of Bunks (Single over Double with Trundle under each bunk)

Located along the shoreline of serene Caswell Beach, this gorgeous oceanfront home impresses throughout! The expansive windows look out over the long deck that leads to the soft, sandy and quiet beach.

Main Floor

The great room overlooks the ocean and is the perfect place to spend time with your entire group! The space is lined with a large sectional and two comfy arm chairs centered around the flat screen TV and fireplace.

The dining area rounds out the open space and offers seating for 10 people around the table with additional seating at the bar and the small breakfast table in the kitchen!

The kitchen is the ideal space for cooking for your entire crew with plenty of prep space including the large island complete with a butchers block.

The master suite welcomes you to a king bed and private access to the oceanfront deck to go along with a private bathroom highlighted by a dual vanity, garden tub and walk-in shower.

The second bedroom on the main floor features a single-over-double bunk bed with a trundle serving as a great spot for the little ones in your group!

Second Floor

The first king suite in finished with a king bed, mounted flat screen TV and private access to the second level oceanfront deck providing immaculate views when you wake up each morning!

The second king suite offers more of the same so you don't have to fight over who gets a great view!

The final two bedrooms are capped off with a single-over-double bunk bed with a trundle, respectively, so their is plenty of room for your entire party!

If you are looking to lounge while taking in beautiful views, an additional reading area and workspace overlook the great room and out onto the expansive deck.

Outdoor Living Areas

While the interior is amazing, the views outside are just as breathtaking! With two large oceanfront decks with plenty of deck and lounge furniture, you can work on your tan or read your favorite novel while watching the ships sail by the Oak Island Lighthouse into the Cape Fear River!

A Message From the Property Owners

"Creating opportunities for our family to grow is a mindset we’ve held close over the past 35 years. When we set out to build our dream vacation home we knew that we wanted to design an environment which fostered that mindset. We wanted to nourish our relationships with distant and close relatives, new and old friends, and create a sense of togetherness with each other.

To us, togetherness is an intangible that can rarely be communicated. It is the involuntary intermingling of peoples around the kitchen island as rested eyes rise for the new day. It is the warmth that you feel when you look around a room to see everyone you appreciate enjoying one another's company. It is the unexpected small moments and conversations that flourish in the slow hours of the day. It is letting Kenny Chesney do the talking while everyone quietly soaks in the sun."

We’ve always loved our rental....Swains Shack was a great place to eat. Breakfast was good at the Bridge Diner. Pizza Shack was great. It’s good to know when you arrive where you can get good food.
