****Event Home (For an Additional Fee - Telephone Better Beach Units for details)****
Escape to Just Like Paradise, a impressive beach getaway located in Oak Island's relaxing "Old Yaupon" neighborhood. Formerly Footprints in the Sand, this bright and welcoming 3-bedroom home comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests, offering 1 full bath and 2 half baths — ideal for beach vacations, family gatherings, or special occasions. While just a short walk to the beach, stores, eateries, and the pier, the true highlight awaits just outside: a impressive screened-in back porch, designed for ultimate relaxation and enjoyment.
Inside, discover a intelligent layout with comfortable, modern décor, creating a enchanting home-away-from-home. Sleeping arrangements include a primary king bedroom, a queen bedroom, and a third bedroom with a queen, a triple twin bunk, and a twin sleeper couch. The completely equipped kitchen, complete with a breakfast bar, drip coffee maker, refrigerator with ice maker, flat-surface cooktop, constructed-in microwave, toaster oven, and dishwasher, makes meal prep simple. Standard amenities like Wi-Fi, Intelligent TVs, linens, and a washer/dryer ensure a cozy stay.
The heart of this coastal haven extends outdoors to your private backyard getaway, where the screened-in back porch really shines. Imagine starting your mornings with coffee in this serene space or appreciating calming movie nights after a day at the beach. Beyond the porch, a hot tub promises ultimate relaxation, and an enclosed outdoor shower adds convenience. Evenings are ideal for gathering around the fire pit or grilling on the gas BBQ, with ample outdoor seating for everybody. The fenced backyard provides a safe haven for kids and furry friends (dogs welcome!), and private parking for up to 6 cars plus outdoor storage add to the ease of your stay.
Designed for all ages with its convenient ground-level layout, making it particularly elderly friendly and painless to navigate, Just Like Paradise also offers a constructed-in desk for remote work. It's an Event Home (additional fee applies) and welcomes off-season monthly units.
With its prime location near beaches, attractions, and, most notably, a really inviting and comfortably accessible screened-in back porch for making lasting memories, Just Like Paradise lives up to its name. Book your memorable Oak Island hideaway today!
