A look around.
Click any photo to enlarge.
Room for the whole crew, right on the sand.
A turnkey, fully furnished oceanfront home with five bedrooms across three levels — ocean views off the rear decks and Intracoastal Waterway and Montgomery Slough views out front. Preserved wood ceilings, durable LVP floors, and well-established dunes for privacy.
Three ensuite bedrooms
Three spacious bedrooms, each with its own full bath — everyone gets their own space and privacy.
Living, dining & the view
Open-concept living with an updated kitchen — butcher block counters, gas cooktop, apron-front sink — and two walls of sliding glass opening to the ocean decks. A fourth bedroom, half bath, and a wide spiral staircase round it out.
A private retreat
A fifth bedroom with full bath, plus conditioned storage — a quiet landing spot away from the action.
Stocked for the good life.
This isn't a bare-bones beach rental. Every detail is dialed up so you can settle in and actually relax.
Private hot tub
Sink into the bubbles on the deck with the ocean as your soundtrack — sunrise soak or after-beach unwind.
Jura coffee machine
Café-quality espresso, lattes, and pour-overs at the touch of a button. Your morning just got a serious upgrade.
TOTO Washlet bidets
Heated, self-cleaning bidet seats in the bathrooms — the small luxury you'll wish you had at home.
Luxury mattresses
Every bed is dressed with a premium mattress and crisp, high-quality linens for a genuinely great night's sleep.
Dual-view decks
Expansive decking on two sides — catch the sunrise over the Atlantic and the sunset over the Intracoastal from the same house.
Turnkey & spotless
Professionally cleaned and fully furnished — arrive, drop your bags, and you're on island time.
Plus 1 Gig fiber internet, premium linens & towels, smart TVs throughout, a fully equipped kitchen, and more little touches around every corner.
Extras you can add to your trip.
Add a golf cart to your stay when you book — just check the box in your request and we'll have it ready when you arrive.
Golf cart rental
Oak Island runs on golf carts. Cruise to the beach access, the pier, or ice cream after dinner — no fighting for parking.
Oak Island, the unhurried coast.
One of North Carolina's most relaxed family beaches — golf-cart slow, wide on sand, and a short hop from historic Southport's waterfront shops and restaurants. Here's a little of what's nearby.
Oak Island Lighthouse
The island's landmark light watches over miles of shoreline — a classic sunrise-and-sunset backdrop just down the beach.
Middleton Park
A pirate-ship playground, ball fields, and shaded picnic spots — the island's hub for burning off the kids' energy.
Splash pad
Free, gated water play right at Middleton Park — a favorite mid-day cool-down for the little ones.
Oak Island Golf Club
Eighteen holes winding along the marsh and maritime forest, minutes from the house — tee times are easy to grab.
The Point & sandbars
At the island's east end, boats raft up on the sandbars and the inlet opens to the Atlantic — prime for a day on the water.

Here's what's open at The Salty Moose. Online booking is coming soon.

Boat Charters
Two Sea Rays off Oak Island — dolphin cruises, sandbar afternoons, sunset runs, and fishing, with a USCG-licensed captain arranged separately. Pick your boat.
What a day looks like.
Dolphin cruises
Glide the inlet and nearshore waters where dolphins surface almost daily — a hit with kids and grown-ups alike.
Sandbar days
Anchor up at the Point's sandbars, wade in the shallows, and let the day drift by.
Sunset & fishing
Golden-hour cruises and inshore fishing trips — bring the cooler, we'll handle the helm.
How it works. You charter the boat, and a USCG-licensed captain is arranged separately — we'll connect you with a captain you book and pay directly. The captain fee is paid straight to your captain and isn't part of any online payment. Reach out and we'll help match you to the right boat and time.
Make it an even better day.
Bolt any of these onto your charter — just tell us what you'd like when you reach out and we'll have it ready when you step aboard.
Catering & provisioning
Charcuterie boards, lunch spreads, fresh snacks, and drinks set up and chilled before you ever step aboard.
Stocked coolers
Ice, water, sodas, and your favorite drinks ready to go — just tell us what the crew likes.
Fishing gear
Rods, reels, tackle, and bait for a little inshore fishing, with the captain steering you toward the bite.
Floats & water toys
Lily-pad mats, tubes, and loungers for drifting and lounging when you anchor up at the sandbar.
Tubes & towables
Hang on for a towable tube ride behind the boat — a guaranteed hit with the kids and the brave.
Celebrations
Birthday, anniversary, or a sunset proposal? Tell us the occasion and we'll help set the scene.
Have something else in mind for your day on the water? Just ask — we'll do our best to make it happen.
Sea Ray 370 Sundancer
A spacious, climate-controlled cruiser built for a long, comfortable day on the water — sun when you want it, full shade when you don't. Triple 300-hp Mercury Verados (900 hp) move you easily, and an installed Seakeeper keeps her steady at anchor and underway, so far less roll and far less seasickness. There's a full bathroom on board, three TVs, and Starlink high-speed internet across the whole boat, with A/C and heat in both the cabin and the cockpit.
- 2 hours$1,400
- 3 hours$2,100
- 4 hours$2,750
- 6 hours$4,000
- 8 hours$5,100
Each total includes a $250 captain fee paid directly to your USCG-licensed captain. You book and pay the captain directly — that $250 goes straight to your captain and isn't part of any online payment; the remainder is the boat charter.
Sea Ray 310 SLX
A sporty, open-bow cruiser built for sun and speed — wide-open seating, a big bow lounge, and sun pads front and back, with a head (bathroom) on board. Twin 300-hp Mercury Verados (600 hp) make quick, easy work of a run to the sandbar or out the inlet.
- 2 hours$840
- 3 hours$1,260
- 4 hours$1,660
- 6 hours$2,400
- 8 hours$3,100
Each total includes a $250 captain fee paid directly to your USCG-licensed captain. You book and pay the captain directly — that $250 goes straight to your captain and isn't part of any online payment; the remainder is the boat charter.
Golf Cart Rental
The easiest — and most fun — way to get around Oak Island. Skip the parking, feel the breeze, and make the whole island feel like your backyard.
A lifted six-seater, ready to roll.
Cognac leather seating for six, a full digital dash, LED lighting, and chunky off-road wheels — comfortable, head-turning, and built for cruising the island. Two 50-volt lithium batteries give it up to a 70-mile range, so you can run errands, beach trips, and dinner all day on a charge. Everyone rides together, with a rear trunk for chairs, coolers, and beach gear.
Everything's a short ride away.
Dinner & ice cream
Roll up to the island's restaurants and ice cream spots — no circling for a parking space.
Middleton Park
Load up the kids and head to the playground and splash pad in minutes.
The golf course
Cruise over to Oak Island Golf Club with the clubs in back and tee off without the rental-car shuffle.
Beach accesses
Haul the chairs, boards, and coolers to any of the island's beach accesses the easy way.
Just because
Sometimes the best plan is a sunset lap around the island with the family and no agenda at all.

Terms of Use & Rental Terms
Last updated: June 16, 2026
These Terms govern your use of moosevillas.com and any inquiry, booking, charter, or rental you arrange with Moose Villas (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By using this website or submitting a request, you agree to these Terms. The specific, binding terms for any reservation — including rates, deposits, cancellation, and house or vessel rules — are provided to you in a separate rental or charter agreement at the time of booking, which controls if anything here conflicts with it.
About this website
This site provides information about The Salty Moose beach house, our boat charters, and our golf-cart rental, and a way to request them. Photos, descriptions, rates, and availability are provided in good faith and may change without notice. Nothing on this site is a guarantee of availability or a binding offer until we confirm your reservation in writing.
Inquiries and bookings
Until online booking is enabled, requests made through this site are inquiries, not confirmed reservations. A booking is only confirmed once we accept it and you receive written confirmation. When online booking and payments become available, they will be handled through a third-party booking and payment processor under its own terms.
The Salty Moose (beach house)
- The home is reserved for the number of guests stated in your confirmed reservation; occupancy limits, check-in/check-out times, and house rules are set out in your rental agreement.
- Guests are responsible for the property during their stay and for any damage beyond normal wear.
- Smoking, unauthorized events, and any illegal activity are not permitted.
Boat charters (bareboat)
Our vessels are offered as bareboat (demise) charters. This means:
- You charter the boat itself. A USCG-licensed captain is arranged and hired separately, and is paid directly by you. The captain is an independent operator, not our employee, and the captain’s fee is not part of any payment made to us.
- The owner does not operate the vessel and is not aboard during your charter; during the charter, control of the vessel rests with you and your chosen captain.
- You are responsible for using the vessel safely and lawfully, observing passenger limits and all applicable U.S. Coast Guard and state requirements.
- Charter details, deposits, fuel, security deposit, weather and cancellation policies, and conduct rules are set out in your separate charter agreement.
Golf-cart rental
- Drivers must be at least the minimum age required by law, hold a valid driver’s license, and operate the cart in compliance with all local ordinances and traffic laws.
- The cart may only be driven where permitted and within posted speed limits; no driving under the influence.
- You are responsible for the cart while it is in your possession and for any damage, fines, or violations that occur during your rental.
Add-ons and extras
Optional extras (such as provisioning, gear, or celebration setups) are arranged on request and subject to availability and any additional terms or charges quoted at the time.
Assumption of risk and limitation of liability
Boating, water activities, and operating a motor vehicle carry inherent risks. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you assume those risks for yourself and your guests, and our liability arising from your use of the property, vessels, cart, or this website is limited to the amount you paid us for the applicable booking. We are not responsible for the acts of independent third parties, including separately hired captains.
Your responsibilities
You agree to provide accurate information, follow the rules in your rental or charter agreement, and be responsible for your party’s conduct. You agree to reimburse us for losses caused by your or your guests’ misuse, damage, or violation of these Terms or any agreement.
