Overview

Description

Rise and Shine at ''Sunny Side Up'' where the ocean is your backyard and the beach becomes your way of life. Some beach houses are about square footage. This one is about how you spend your time. At 5227 E Beach Drive, life spills far beyond the walls of this charming two-bedroom, one-bath oceanfront cottage. Your living room extends onto the oceanfront deck. Your backyard is the beach. And your view? Miles of the Atlantic Ocean stretching out in front of you. This is the Oak Island people fall in love with: mornings begin barefoot with coffee overlooking the waves, afternoons are spent swimming, fishing, and soaking up the sun, and evenings end with salty hair, seafood on the deck, and the ocean in the background.

This one is about how you spend your time. At 5227 E Beach Drive, life spills far beyond the walls of this charming two-bedroom, one-bath oceanfront cottage. Your living room extends onto the oceanfront deck. Your backyard is the beach. And your view? Miles of the Atlantic Ocean stretching out in front of you. This is the Oak Island people fall in love with: mornings begin barefoot with coffee overlooking the waves, afternoons are spent swimming, fishing, and soaking up the sun, and evenings end with salty hair, seafood on the deck, and the ocean in the background. Affectionately known as ''Sunny Side Up,'' this classic cottage gets its name from the beautiful sunlight that pours inside and it's cheerful yellow exterior. Its intimate footprint is part of what makes it so special. Two bedrooms and one bath mean less house to maintain, less time spent cleaning, and more time actually enjoying the reason you came to Oak Island in the first place: the BEACH. Inside, the bright, open living space feels cheerful and inviting, flowing naturally into a beautifully remodeled kitchen with generous storage and counter space, a gas range with a chimney hood, custom tile, and stainless-steel appliances. It's everything you need in a beach cottage. But here, the best room in the house isn't inside. Step onto the large oceanfront deck and suddenly your living space feels endless. Watch the sunrise over the water with your first cup of coffee. Come straight off the beach for lunch without ever putting on shoes. Stretch out for an afternoon nap with the waves in the background, pour cocktails as the day winds down, or gather around the table for dinner with the sand and waves as your backdrop. Below the home, an oceanside deck creates another outdoor gathering space for grilling, relaxing and rinsing off after long days on the sand. There's also plenty of storage for surfboards, fishing rods, beach chairs and all the gear that comes with living where everyone else vacations, plus a conveniently located washer and dryer. Sunny Side Up isn't just a place to escape; it also offers investment potential. New to the rental market in spring 2026, the property has about $83,000 in rental income on the books, giving buyers the chance to enjoy their own oceanfront getaway while building rental history and income potential. Located along Oak Island's desirable east end, you're close to Middleton Park, summer concerts, pickleball and tennis, restaurants, coffee and ice cream shops, boutiques, grocery stores, golf, boating, fishing and the Oak Island Lighthouse. Once you're here, you won't be in much of a hurry to leave.
