Healing Waters. When you book a getaway, that is what you are looking for. Somewhere to relax & have fun. In this oceanfront cottage one of your favorite spots may be sitting on the deck, overlooking the ocean & feeling the effect of those Healing Waters. Smell that fresh salt air. Feel those salubrious breezes. Put your toes in the warm sand. Take a dip into the ocean, the Healing Waters. In the heat of the day, relax on the covered deck & take in all the beauty that being oceanfront affords. Oak Island is unusual on the East Coast in that we have a South facing beach. Bring your camera & coffee to watch the sun rise over the water & in the evening pour a glass of wine to watch the sun set, also over the water. As the sun disappears, the Edison lights on the deck create a relaxing mood.

There is a private walkway leading you over the 1st set of dunes to a path through the 2nd set of dunes to the shoreline. As you head down the walkway you may want to bring the binoculars from inside & sit on the bench to watch for dolphins playing in the water ahead of you. Zoom in to see the pelicans fly in formation & the gulls as they “laugh” at you. Grab the provided 6 chairs & beach toys as you head to enjoy the warmth of the sun & fun in the sand & water.

Unload your vacation supplies under the covered parking & head right up the stairs leading to the memories about to be made. Staying oceanfront also saves you from searching for parking at the beach accesses & during the season, having to pay to park once you find that space.

Enter to find an open concept kitchen, dining & living areas. The bright white, vaulted ceilings reflect the light from the windows flanking the back of the living area with views of the ocean. What an airy, relaxing vibe you feel already. In the comfortable living area, you can watch TV, play games, or relive the fun of the day by the ambiance of electric fireplace any time of year. Dividing the kitchen & living areas is an island with plenty of storage & seating for 6. You may choose alfresco dining at the picnic table on the deck. Preparing meals in this open concept kitchen allows for everyone to be together but enjoying their own activities. Small appliances include a drip/k-cup coffee maker, tea kettle, blender, toaster & stock pot to make those low county seafood boils.

To the left of the dining island is the stacked washer/dryer laundry center. Save room for souvenirs by packing lighter because you can wash your vacation clothes, swimsuits & towels as you use them. An iron & board are provided to look sharp & crisp for those dinners out. The Primary Bedroom, with ensuite, entry is directly off the dining area. This Primary with queen includes an ensuite with shower & hair dryer. Bedroom #2 has 2 twin beds, TV & a desk for mobile work or school. Bedroom #3 sleeps 3 in a full & twin bed; TV. The hall bath has a tub/shower combination with hair dryer & is shared by bedrooms 2 & 3.

Please note: Linens are included with your reservation and your beds will be made prior to your arrival. Also a Welcome Bag will be waiting for you upon your arrival with starter supplies which includes 2 trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher powder, washing machine powder, dish sponge, small shampoo and conditioner with bar of soap, make up remover, and 2 bottles of water.

Oak Island, a family-oriented beach with a large variety of activities. Choose from the sand & sun, 2 piers, museums, nature parks & a skateboard park. Seasonally: Outdoor Concerts/Food Trucks, Splash Pad & Farmer’s/Craft Markets. The Iconic landmark, the OKI Lighthouse is in Caswell Beach. You can schedule a tour ahead of time online. It’s a short drive to a large variety of restaurants & shopping opportunities. There are 2 grocery stores on the island. If you don’t want to miss leg day, there is a gym here with daily & weekly drop-in rates.

Down the walkway & over the dunes we go… Healing Waters, here we come!

Cozy accommodations

My family had a great time at Healing Waters on Oak Island. The beach wasn't busy. We had one issue with the guest toilet not working and they were there to fix it the same day. The house was clean. Thank you for providing us with a memorable vacation

Nice vacation!

Our family enjoyed the visit on Oak Island, NC. There was plenty to do but most of all, we liked having a house on the beach and staying together for a week! The itrip folks were helpful and prompt when we had any requests. We are happy to use them again to look into a family vacation stay. Unfortunately we had some stormy weather but still had a good time.

Oak Island and Healing Waters are the Best!

This is our second year at Healing Waters. It is just perfect for our family of 5. No frills, but nicely maintained and all we need to enjoy a wonderful stay at the beach. We love it here!!! The beach is beautiful and the island has a lot of offer. We love that it is close to Southport for great shopping. This place is great and we’re already booked again for next year!

Wonderful house and, great location!! The outdoor shower is perfect with the rain shower head! If you are staying longer then a week you need to buy extra toilet paper, trash bags, and paper towels. I wish it had a iron. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

Healing Waters

This home was just what we needed for our week stay in Oak Island! We’ve stayed at several on the island over the years and this home far surpassed our expectations! Added bonus? The air actually works! Lol. It was in the perfect spot on the beach, the most relaxing deck with rockers & all in between! The property management was quick responses with whatever it was we needed as well! Book here. You won’t regret it. I can’t wait to come back next summer!

Best beachfront stay in OKI!

Mary is the best host I’ve ever had! I’ve stayed in Oak Island for about six years now and she is hands down the most accommodating host. The house was extremely clean (this was such a relief because I have worked with the property management company on the island -iykyk- and things were not clean whatsoever in past rentals). Mary is attentive and her home is so cozy. Her and her home definitely made this the best OKI trip I’ve ever had. I highly recommend and will refer Mary and her home to everyone!

Peaceful Memories

We just returned from a 3 day trip to OKI . We had a wonderful time and made some wonderful memories. Our son was home from Switzerland to enjoy the time with us. We stayed at Healing Waters. What a perfect name for the place. Spent lots of porch sitting time,sipping coffee and reminiscing. Walks on the beach were peaceful and pleasantAll of this was smoothly facilitated by the wonderful staff of iTrip. We were welcomed and given a great orientation of the house. A nice welcoming package contained all the “start up” supplies we needed and was waiting for us. ITrip took care of all our needs and even exceeded our expectations. They made sure that we had everything we needed to insure a great time together. I can readily recommend iTrip for the arrangement of your next vacation. Warm regards and sincere thanks iTrip staff!

A Gem of a Property!

We were incredibly pleased with Healing Waters! While it is one of the older homes on the island, it has clearly been well cared for over the years! The home was very clean, nicely appointed and made good use of space. We thought we'd need the picnic table for dinners for our group of 7, but the island was comfortable and easily seated 7 (with the help of an extra stool we found in the pantry!) The master bathroom is quite small, but the outdoor shower helped alleviate that situation, as there was no way my 6'5" 240lb husband was going to fit in that shower stall! The hallway bathroom had a broken towel ring and was not furnished with a hand towel, but we made due with paper towels. The only true problem we had during out stay was very minor (the hose had a hole in it,) but was fixed less than 18 hours after we advised of the issue. Great service! My only true complaint is that the home was changed to pet friendly with no notification after we had signed the contract for a 100% pet free home. I was assured that the home would be thoroughly cleaned, including all bedding, as my son has a dog allergy. I am assuming this was done, as we had no issues. This change will make this house unusable for us in the future, which is unfortunate because it is truly a gem. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The house was exactly as portrayed on VRBO; very clean and cozy. We had never been to Oak Island and were very pleasantly surprised. It met all of our requirements: quiet, low key and beautiful.
