About this property

Our Home Away From Home! Large home with private pool and elevator!

Beautiful 4 bedroom, 3 bath home on Oak Island, NC, only a very short walk to the beach. 2 level home features a family room, fully loaded kitchen, dining room, screened porch, 2 BRs and 2 baths on the main floor. 2nd floor has 2 more bedrooms, a full bath, another family room, and a beautiful covered porch. We also have a pool!

We are on the 3rd row back from the beach and about a 2-3 minute walk to a public beach access on 26th.

House sleeps 10 with a king and a queen bed on the main level, and a queen, two twins and a queen sleeper sofa on the 2nd level.

Amenities include washer/dryer, WiFi, streaming TV with movie channels, stereo system, gas grill, private pool. We also have installed an elevator from the ground floor to the first floor.

There are two outside Blink cameras. One is on the front porch facing the front door. The second is under the screened porch facing out under the house and toward the street. The cameras are turned ON during rental season ONLY between 10 am and 4 pm on Saturdays, check in day. This allows us to let the property manager know when guests are gone so that the house can be cleaned for the next guests. The cameras are turned OFF after 4 pm on Saturdays and remain OFF during your stay. They remain ON at all times in the off season.

Although we have the off season blocked off for personal use, we would consider renting the house during that time if we are not going to be there. We try to get there as often as we can, and sometimes we don't know until a few days before. But email us if you are considering a last minute fall, winter or spring getaway to the beach! The house may be available! We will not rent too far in advance, but it's worth a try!

Family Fourth

This was our fifth summer vacation spent at the Copeland House on Oak Island. Such a beautiful, spacious home equipped with everything we needed to make our fourth perfect. Well-stocked kitchen, swimming pool, easy walk to the beach, and plenty of room for our family. We are looking forward to next summer!

Definitely a gem!

We were immediately impressed with how spacious and beautiful this home is. It is even roomier than it appears in pictures. It is clear that this is their home and is treated as such. Janet and Carson were very responsive and helpful when we had any questions. We are already planning our trip back next year and can’t wait to stay here again!

Wonderful Family Vacation at Oak Island

Our family was very happy with our stay! Having the pool was a great bonus for our almost 2 year old grandson and the rest of us. It was a great location, close to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed walking on the scenic trails near the marsh accessible from the neighborhood. We found the kitchen to be stocked well and some great places to eat close by. We spent our last night with dinner at the house, out for ice cream and a nice walk on Ocean Creat Pier. It was a beautiful house and I highly recommend.

Awesome family vacation

Perfect location, beautiful home, everything we could ask for in a family vacation. We have been going on family vacations as long as I can remember and this is by far our favorite home we’ve stayed in. We had a small issue with the air conditioning upstairs, however the owners were very responsive and it was resolved quickly without interrupting our trip. Well stocked kitchen and the pool was awesome. We would love to stay here again!

wonderful experience.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Oak Island during February. Home Away From Home is very aptly named! It's a beautiful home and a close walk to the beach. It is also near a scenic walk with boardwalks and walking bridges over the marsh. That was a daily favorite. There is an elevator, which I found very helpful. It was quiet during February at Oak Island so very relaxing. Thank you.

Annual Family Beach Vacation

We were saddened for our Oak Island vacation to end. This is our second year staying at Janet and Carson’s home. Everything about their house is warm and welcoming—simply beautiful. It has all of the amenities we need and the grandchildren love the pool! We are counting the days until next year. Thank you Janet and Carson!

Beautiful Home

This was our second year staying at this property. Location of the home was perfect. First year we stayed and everything was perfect. This year when we arrived the pool wasn’t clean. The days they were suppose to clean the pool it wasn’t cleaned. The pool company came out at one time and said it wouldn’t backwash and then another time they came out and said it was 3 bags low on salt, and neither time was the pool fixed or taken care of. By day 6 there was algae growing in the pool.

Perfect Beach Home

To begin with, we don’t know why we haven’t rented this property before now! It was the ideal beach home for our family of 10. The Oak Island location, short walk to the beach, spacious rooms, house amenities, and pool offered everything we needed for a perfect vacation. Our grandchildren will never forget the week we spent and the fun time we had. We booked for next year before we left! Thank you Janet/Carson for being such accommodating property owners.

Annual Oak Island Trip

Our beach vacation could not have been more perfect---beautiful weather, gorgeous house, and plenty of nightly card games! Janet and Carson are always so accommodating. In fact, this was our fourth year staying at the Copeland House. Every room is beautifully decorated and so comfortable, the pool is enjoyed by all, and the screen porch is the perfect spot to feed the grandchildren! We had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook our meals. The ocean is a short walk away and the outdoor shower is ideal for washing off the sand. Thank you, as always, Janet and Carson, for opening your home away from home to us each summer.

We thought Tropical Storm Colin may dampen our week at the beach, but it turned out to be absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Carson and Janet for opening your beautiful home to us each year. We have already booked for 2023! Our grandchildren loved their time in your pool and eating all of their meals on your screened in porch. Your spacious home accommodates all of our needs. You are gracious hosts and we appreciate you!! Thank you! You deserve more than 5 stars!

Another Great Stay

We had 6 adults and one toddler ( almost 3 years old). If you stay here you may want to bring a stair gate if you have smaller children. We used one last year but didn’t need it this year. Plenty of room for everyone. The house is perfect. The 3 full bathrooms are huge with plenty of space to put your things away. All the bedrooms are a good size. For me the beds were comfortable. They’re a little on the soft side but I slept well as did everyone else. The walk to the beach is a short one. The pool is fantastic. The outdoor shower has hot water. The elevator is a life saver. Communication with the owners is spot on. There is nothing negative about this house. We’re looking forward to next summer already.

What’s Not To Like?

By far the best house we’ve stayed in on Oak Island. There is so much room in this house. There were six adults and one toddler in our group. The beds are very comfortable. We all slept great in them. The bathrooms are huge. The upstairs has everything you need to just hang out separately or with a group of people. The balcony upstairs is so nice to be on in the mornings while eating breakfast and drinking coffee. You can see the ocean. The kitchen has everything you need. There are plenty of spices and other cooking ingredients to use. The screened in back porch is nice to go sit and listen to the ocean or just hang out. The elevator is a big plus with getting luggage and groceries up to the house. The pool is amazing. The house is on a quiet street. We didn’t have loud neighbors while we were there. The walk to the beach takes only a few minutes. Janet communicated within minutes with me. You simply can’t go wrong with this house. We can’t wait to stay here again. We had a lovely week.

About the host

Hosted by Janet S. Copeland

Host profile image
We both have always wanted a house at the coast, and in 2014, were able to realize that dream. We built our home on beautiful Oak Island, NC. We are both from western North Carolina and still live there, but love to get to the coast as often as possible. Our mission was to build a HOME, not a rental house. We accomplished that mission. We are willing to share our home - when we are not there ourselves!

Why they chose this property

We were looking for property close to golf, great fishing, and walking distance to the beach. We settled on Oak Island after looking up and down the coast of North and South Carolina. Oak Island is a quiet, family oriented island. There are no high rises, and relatively little traffic compared to other nearby beaches! The beaches are wide and great for walks. Great restaurants are a short distance away on the island, and more great food and shopping in Southport - only 5 miles away!

What makes this property unique

We have built our second home to be as comfortable as our first one. The rooms are large, and the furnishings and accessories are upscale. You will find everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing stay.
