SELLER OFFERING $7,500 TOWARDS BUYER CLOSING COST OR RATE BUY DOWN. USE SELLER'S PREFERRED LENDER AND RECEIVE $500 IN ADDITIONAL CREDIT AT CLOSING... THAT'S A $8,000 CREDIT!!! Just steps from the beach and offered fully furnished, Practically Perfect is ready for its next chapter on Oak Island! Whether you're searching for a coastal getaway, full-time island home, or an established vacation rental, 2505 W Dolphin Drive offers the location, comfort, and character that make beach living so special.

Located approximately 200 steps from the W 25th Place beach access, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,535 square feet of main living space plus an additional 336 square feet of conditioned ground-level storage space. The spacious living and dining areas flow into a well-equipped kitchen, while the bedroom layout includes a generous primary suite with private bath, along with two additional guest bedrooms and a second full bath.

A standout feature is the conditioned ground-level storage area, improved by the sellers in 2025 with insulated walls and a mini-split system for heating and cooling. An interior stairwell connects this space directly to the main living level, allowing you to park, enter the home at ground level, and head upstairs without having to step back outside into the elements. It's an incredibly convenient feature for unloading groceries, luggage, beach gear, or simply coming home on a rainy day. Covered parking and an outdoor shower add even more functionality to the ground level.

Outdoor living is part of the experience here. Enjoy your morning coffee and glimpses of the ocean from the covered front porch, unwind on the rear deck with views toward the marsh, or take the short stroll down to the beach whenever the mood strikes.

Inside, the home is warm, comfortable, and full of personality, with a thoughtful mix of coastal furnishings and antique pieces that give it a character all its own. The home is being offered fully furnished with the exception of select personal property, with the essentials for everyday living remaining--making this an easy opportunity to begin enjoying Oak Island from day one.

Since April 2025, Practically Perfect has operated as a successful short-term vacation rental with a good rental history and 21 FIVE-STAR guest reviews, offering buyers the opportunity to continue its established rental use or simply keep this special place all to themselves.

And don't miss one of Oak Island's best-kept secrets: during the cooler months, the island's unique south-facing shoreline creates spectacular sunsets over the ocean. From beach days and evening walks to unforgettable winter sunsets, this is the kind of place that reminds you why you wanted a home at the coast in the first place.

Elevation Certificate and rental history available. FLOOD INSURANCE ONLY $950/YEAR!
