Description

GROSS RENTAL 2025 INCOME $100,000+. Once in a while, a home comes on the market that is so special that it captures everyone's heart. In this case, we present to you TWO homes on one 2nd row homesite at 2602 E Beach Drive, Oak Island. These recently remodeled beach cottages are going to pull tightly at your heartstrings. This is a rare opportunity to have two detached cottages that are located across the street from direct access to the Atlantic Ocean.

Each cottage offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The main cottage is perfectly situated on Beach Drive and the guest cottage is located directly behind the main cottage. These beach cottages will remind you of your best childhood days on the beach surrounded by those that mean the most to you.

Oak Island was once a yesteryear beach that caught the attention of families and fishermen who would travel to OKI to gather with their friends. Their days would be spent fishing and playing on the island's golden sand beaches and they would come together in the evening to reward themselves with the fresh seafood that they had caught that day. If these walls could talk, there would be Fish Tales for days! These 1950s era cottages hold all the classic coastal charm that your heart could desire.

These cottages were thoughtfully and carefully designed to accommodate lots of guests and to serve as a gathering place where lifelong memories can be developed and dreams can become a reality. A large deck separates the two cottages which is perfect for coming together while also offering a private place to retreat to after a long day of fun. Oak Island offers a south-facing beach that gifts its residents and visitors the most glorious sunrises and the most peaceful sunsets that you could ever imagine. When you arrive at 2602 E Beach, you will know that you have arrived at something special as you feel your soul calm while you listen to the crashing waves and wind blown palms.

As you enter the main cottage, you will be welcomed by a large enclosed front porch. Once inside, you will find an open living concept for easy living that invites you to come inside to curl up with a great book or to make a delicious meal with your family and friends. The main cottage also offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and an upstairs loft area that is perfect for a play area or storage. The kitchen will meet all of your needs with its modern amenities, ample cabinet space, and bar area. The back door to the main cottage leads you to a large open deck with outdoor shower. While the deck is shared between the two cottages, each cottage provides its own outdoor shower.

As you make your way into the guest cottage, you are welcomed with a foyer area that could also serve as another living space, office, dining area, playroom, exercise area and so much more. Your guest cottage is anchored by its bright and open living/dining area that is ready to serve as the perfect backdrop for playing games, putting together those puzzles, or just simply sitting and enjoying your favorite tv show with those you love most. The guest cottage also offers a fully equipped kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and one bathroom. There is also a private side deck that is set up to accommodate lunch in the afternoon or dinner under the stars in the evening.

As you make your way outside, you will be mesmerized by the sound of the ocean's waves crashing just steps away from you. Located in the hot spot on the island, these cottages are also a quiet safe haven due to their unique location and set-up.
