Whether walking, biking or driving the most direct routes from the house lead to one of the most desirable beach strands on the island. A plethora of restaurants and shopping are just 2 miles away on E Oak Island Dr.

Perfect Beach Getaway

We had the best weekend getaway at this cozy little house. We can’t say enough about the great neighborhood/location. We walked to the beach both days and just felt totally relaxed. They’ve thought through everything- it was very comfortable and cooking was easy! Definitely would stay here again!

Perfect Beach Getaway

You would think living ten minutes from the “Jersey Shore”, one wouldn’t drive ten plus hours to go to the beach, but this cozy cottage’s close location to the beautiful beaches of Oak Island, NC were exactly what we needed to get away from the hectic traffic of the Jersey Shore. The home’s location is a perfectly quiet little road with so little traffic, it felt good to take our dog for a walk. The neighbors stopped to chat with us like old friends, and it felt like home. The beaches were big and not crowded, and it was just pleasant to unwind from the daily grind here. We found the perfect little burger joint in Little Bit’s Grill, and enough souvenir shops to find gifts for the family. Food stores were all close and easy to find to pack lunches for the beach. And it just felt wonderful to sit back, and relax! If we ever find our way to Oak Island again, I will definitely return to City Woes to Sandy Toes!

We loved our family weekend stay at City Woes to Sandy Toes!

This was a perfect location for my husband, son, our 2 dogs and I to stay for a weekend in Oak Island visiting family for the holidays. First most important thing for me is a good mattress because of back issues, a bad mattress can trigger pain. Here the master bedroom mattress did not disappoint!! I'm going home back pain free. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen including filtered water ready for us and coffee. Bathrooms were very clean. Everything was labeled like light switches for ease of use. Location is fabulous, near everything including the awesome restaurant, Fixins, that my brother owns on the Island. Our 2 dogs loved the spacious fenced backyard and the screened in porch. Glen and Min were very responsive hosts ! We'll be back! Thank you!

Warm, Well-Stocked Getaway

My wife, along with our Toller Penny and myself, stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday. Glen and Min were very communicative and the cottage was well-stocked with everything we would ever need. We had an awesome time! Be sure to check out the 31st street trail over the marsh - Penny was in heaven watching the water and wildlife!
