2011 W Beach Drive

Oak Island, NC 28465

Welcome to a rare piece of Oak Island history! Built in 1948, this iconic oceanfront cottage is the oldest remaining beachfront home on the island — and one of the few survivors of the legendary Hurricane Hazel. Nestled on an oversized lot and a half (75 feet wide), this 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers a truly special opportunity to own a slice of coastal heritage. While the home itself does need some TLC, its unmatched location and legacy provide incredible flexibility and value. Whether you're dreaming of restoring a vintage coastal gem, relocating and building new, or starting fresh with up to 59 feet of ocean views, this property offers unmatched potential. The lot has been re-marked by the Town of Oak Island and CAMA, and there appears to be ample building footprint to take full advantage of the allowable size for new construction on the island. Buyers are encouraged to verify details with a current survey. They don't make them like this anymore — and they never will again. Whether you're a visionary builder, investor, or someone who cherishes coastal character, this is your chance to create something truly special on Oak Island's beloved West Beach Drive.
