About this property
Ocean & Wetland views, 3 decks, steps from the beach, 4 BRs, sleeps 10.
Late-summer and early autumn specials: Book a rental between August 22 and October 10, 2026 and we will either waive the cleaning fee (for a rental of at least 3 days) or get the lowest cost night free (for rentals of at least 5 nights). Send a message to the host to request one of these specials.
New for 2026: A new open kitchen with quartz countertops enhances the light and views throughout the house. The 1st floor powder room was also converted to a full bath, with a custom-tiled shower. The bathroom has direct access to both the front hall and the bunkroom. This makes 3 full bathrooms.
No need to worry about expensive beach parking. Bird's Eye View is only 200 steps to the beach.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family (including dogs) to Bird’s Eye View, our 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house, on pilings with beautiful marsh and ocean views from 3 decks and easy beach access. This 3rd-row vacation home is located on the quiet West side of Oak Island with gorgeous views of both the ocean and salt marsh. The home includes a spacious two-story family room filled with natural light and plenty of seating for everyone to relax after a day in the sun.
This home is managed by the owners, rather than a property management company, so you'll receive personal attention to answer your questions or address any issues. Check out all 5-star the reviews! We're also happy to provide tips on restaurants and things to do in the area.
You’ll enjoy cooking in the well-equipped modern kitchen complete with dining area or on a propane grill looking out over the marsh on the back deck. No matter where you are inside or out you will have the ability to slip away and enjoy a picturesque and peaceful lookout.
The bedrooms are carefully spread around the house. The primary bedroom (Queen) is tucked away on the main floor, offering privacy and includes a new (2023) ensuite bathroom and large closet and window seat. A bunkroom is located on the same floor with direct access to a full bathroom. Hidden behind a barn door on the main floor is a comfortable den and desk/monitor setup overlooking the back deck and marsh; perfect for both quiet remote work or as a kids retreat, reading or just relaxing.
The upstairs guest rooms share a new bathroom, with a luxurious soaking tub (and shower) located off the hallway. The King bedroom has a private Oceanview sitting room and flat screen tv. The Queen guestroom has access to the private rooftop deck overlooking the marsh with comfortable Adirondack chairs for your morning coffee or to watch beautiful sunsets.
After you’ve enjoyed the sun and surf at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower with hot and cold water and then relax on the front deck with views of the ocean or back deck with views of the marsh. Parking under the house and on large driveway is available for full family and guest use. No need to deal with OKI's parking restrictions. (Please do not park electric vehicles under the house.)
We've invested in High-Speed internet for our guests. The four TVs are "smart" or include Roku or Firesticks so you can log in to your favorite streaming programs with YOUR log-in credentials for Netflix, Disney +, Prime Video, Hulu, Paramount+, DIRECTV Stream, YouTube TV, Spectrum Streaming, Max, etc., etc. or even your Gaming systems.
But most of the time you'll be outdoors! Included for family fun are outside / beach accessories, such as beach chairs, an umbrella, corn hole boards, firepit, etc. A ping pong table is setup in the garage for team play! There are also a couple of bikes for your use.
The home sleeps 10 in 4 bedrooms (including a bunkroom with a twin over full bunkbed plus twin trundle). Linens and towels are not provided, so you may either bring your own or contact Beach Stuff Linen Rental (www.rudd.com/beach-stuff-linen-rental).

Our stay at Terry’s place was a great experience from start to finish! The house is a great location and we loved the marsh views in the evening ! Easy walk to beach and everything you could need for a great vacation.
We had a wonderful weekend in Oak Island. The house was comfortable and the views were amazing. The host was very attentive and helpful. Would definitely stay again!
Other than a slight issue with the AC on the first day - which the owner was on top of and got fixed, it was a great place for family fun. I loved the salt marsh behind the house and the wildlife that came along with that. The walk to the beach was quick and easy. A great place to stay.
The house was roomy, bright, well stocked and very private with the marsh out back and vacant lot next door. We loved the location and short walk to the beach. The owners were very responsive and helpful. The whole family(plus the dog) absolutely loved spring break on Oak Island.
The house is wonderful. Beautifully laid out and CLEAN! The owner was very responsive and willing to help if/when needed. Extra bonus was being able to bring our dog with us!
We have already booked for next year.
What a beautiful spot! Very comfortable with space to spread out. Gorgeous views overlooking the marsh, as well as a clear view of the ocean out front. We hope to return!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to go back! The location was perfect with beautiful marsh views and a short walk to the beach. We loved bird watching from the living room and dinners on the porch. The beach access was handicap accessible and an easy walk to the beach even with little kids. Terry was easy to communicate with and attentive. Rooms were also a nice set up for grandparents, parents, and kids. Highly recommend!
This house and host are truly 5+ stars! The house itself is clean and bright, well equipped, private, and an easy walk straight to the beach! Terry is thoughtful and responsive. This is by far the best house on Oak Island! We will be back!
Gorgeous views with location to beach and marsh side!
We loved our annual spring break trip with our cousins this year at oak island. This house has amazing views and multiple areas for the kids and adults to spend time catching. The ping pong table in the garage and open space under the house was a life saver when it rained all day. Great views from every room. Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location really is top notch - beautiful marsh as your back yard with ocean views from the front of the property. You are just a few hundred feet from the ocean!!!
The home well stocked, pet friendly, and was very comfortable and spacious for the 5 adults and 2 kids we had.
Terry was a great communicator as the host. We look forward to returning!
This vacation home is beautiful inside and out. The house has quite a unique orientation which allows for great views of the ocean and the salt marsh as well good natural lighting. Very easy short walk to the beach. The views of the salt marsh from the windows surrounding the living area are amazing…they almost look like paintings that are constantly changing throughout the day. We hope to be back soon!
We have traveled to Oak Island each summer for the last 10 years and have stayed in a lot of houses. This has been THE cleanest house thus far. It’s rare that I walk around in bare feet but, you totally could in this house.
It has easy, walkable beach access which is great now that Oak Island has ‘pay to park’ at all the beach lots.
The owner, Terry is very quick to respond to any questions.
We’ll definitely be back!
Great views. Kitchen and dining area are not updated. Bathrooms and bedrooms clean. Cabinets cluttered in kitchen. Maybe owner is waiting to remodel before purging worn out items. Does not smell of pets but signs (dog hair) obvious. Our two small dogs did not have any issues with lingering smells.
Terry’s place is one of the better beach houses we have ever stayed in. We’ve been renting beach houses for close to 40 years. This one is a gem! It’s nearly private with the marsh behind, an empty lot and then woods to one side, and a residential house on the other. 2 easy blocks to a handicapped beach access which has no stairs and includes a rubber mat to the beach. Luxury! We usually rent a golf cart but didn’t need one here. The house is excellently equipped with all you need to cook and relax. The house is sturdy and doesn’t shake or sound like an empty barrel when using the stairs. The beds were comfortable. The outside shower is roomy and neat. Multiple outside areas to hang out. Terry checked in with us and was quick to answer when we had questions about the area. It was clean even in the basement. 10/10 would recommend and would love to stay again.
This is a wonderful property. Very easy walk to the ocean. Situated on a quiet street. Our kids rode bikes and scooters and rarely saw a passing car. So many amenities. Sitting on the back deck, reading a book, and looking out over the marsh was marvelous. The owner is thoughtful, friendly, and quick to respond. Will rent again!
Definitely a 5-star stay! The house was extremely clean, well laid out, and had a full kitchen with everything we needed. The location was great, with just a short walk to the beach. The hosts were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We would absolutely recommend this vacation rental!
The house was nice, clean, and comfortable, and the location was very convenient with easy access to the beach. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again.
This house was great. The bedroom layout worked for our group and the short walk to the beach was just as advertised. The addition of another full bathroom on the main level was a great addition. The kitchen was newly renovated and well stocked. Having the ping pong table in the basement was a nice added bonus. The owner was very responsive and we did not encounter any issues. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend this house and location on Oak Island.
