About this home

OCEANFRONT ICONIC ''WINDRIFT'' pulls at the heartstrings of beach goers who have vacationed under her infamous roofline for generations. Remodeled and completely furnished with a nod back to those memorable Long Beach days of the 70's, this charming beach cottage welcomes direct views of the sparkling Atlantic Ocean embraced by its sandy surf and bright blue sky. Beautifully updated including an inviting modern kitchen that beckons a seafood chef, a brand new roof and HVAC, sturdy Trex decking on the front and back decks, and more! Plenty of room for friends and family with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths plus an open living/dining area worthy of board games and rainy-day snuggling. Her original knotty pine ceilings remain, adding traditional coastal appeal and inspiring a long nostalgic look. Fall asleep to salt breezes and rolling waves. Pull up a rocker on the covered back deck and watch dolphins splash under incredible sunrises and sunsets. Enjoy an easy walk to the beach to shell hunt and soak up the sun. This longtime vacation rental favorite has huge potential as a favorable income producing investment. Come see her on the quiet West End of Oak Island. She'll bring about a soul refreshing vibe you won't forget.
