Ocean Moon Cottage sits oceanside in Oakland Hills, a short walk to the beach and a short distance from the shops and restaurants along Emerald Drive. Less than 5 minutes to the Emerald Isle public boat launch. Ocean Moon Cottage is stick-built construction (1992) and has been kept in clean, well-maintained condition by a one-owner family. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage offers 1,148 heated square feet on a wooded quarter-acre lot. One feature sets it apart from many beach houses on the island. It's built on a raised brick foundation instead of pilings, so it's only a few steps to the front door! There's no long climb with groceries, beach chairs or a cooler, and no tall staircase waiting at the end of a day in the sun. Guests come and go easily, the covered front porch is right there to greet them, and a small rear deck is ready for morning coffee. Inside, the home is comfortable and functional, with LVP flooring installed in 2023 and a roof replaced in 2022. An exterior generator hookup adds peace of mind when storms roll through. The kitchen and bath vanities are original, which gives a buyer a solid, well-kept starting point and room to add their own style over time. The circular drive allows for plenty of parking. The home is in Flood Zone X, where flood insurance is optional, and the septic was pumped two years ago. Ocean Moon Cottage has been a Bluewater vacation rental since 2025. This affordable gem conveys unfurnished except all appliances including the washer/dryer. Create and style with your taste! A short walk to the beach, a few steps to the door, and a house that's ready when you are. A one-owner family has enjoyed & loved Ocean Moon Cottage since construction. Now, it's your time.
