Perfectly named, this quaint and cozy 2nd row beach cottage will have you enjoying simpler times while making new memories during your stay at Oak Island, where the pace of life is already slow and calm. This charming home adds greatly to that slow and calm feeling, offering you a chance to step back in time, but also has the modern conveniences you are used to enjoying. Full of character and well maintained by caring owners, this beautiful home uniquely joins some antique styles with some modern styles, giving a nostalgic feel of the good times in days gone by. As soon as you walk through the door, you feel right at home. There are 2 bedrooms on each side of the central, open concept living/dining/kitchen area, with a shared bathroom between each of the 2 bedrooms. It's the perfect layout for two separate families, but can also be great for a group of friends getting together. Plenty of space in the common areas allows for everyone to gather together and be part of the conversation. Outside, you can enjoy listening to the waves roll onto the shore in one of the rocking chairs on the covered oceanside porch, lounge out by the fire pit in the back yard catching up on old times, or curl up with a good book in the outdoor swing. This home is near everything you want and need from necessities to fun! If you are ready to get away from the stresses of every day life and get back to a simpler place and time, Pastime is the perfect place. This charming cottage just reels you in and will have you coming back to this favorite spot year after year!

Past Time is very convenient to the beach and has ocean views from the front porch. The home is older, and has steps to climb to enter, but decorated very nice and provides everything you need to enjoy the beautiful island. Good for kids as it has two regular tubs. Good parking underneath the home.
Pastime was clean and just two houses down from the beach entrance. When we arrived there were a few things that needed fixing and someone came within 30 minutes of the call to fix it. My favorite part of the house was the enclosed outdoor shower- perfect for kids to get their shower done without tracking sand in the house!

Everything was good and location to the beach was very convenient. The only issue we had was the sheets did not fit the beds good and they were cheap. Could also use some blankets for the bed. The only other issue we had was that we didn't have enough towels and wash clothes to do for the length of stay.
