Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a great weekend and are looking forward to another week of house hunting here in the Wilmington area.

Hope you're all enjoying the Fall weather and the run up to the Thanksgiving Holiday. Today I'm back to feature homes located in Oak Island NC which is south of Wilmington, over in Brunswick County - a great place to visit and an even greater place to own a beach property!

One of my family’s favorite places to take a quick day trip to the beach during the summer months, Oak Island is known for some great seafood restaurants, gentle ocean breezes, and a little less traffic than some of our other area beaches - great place to retire or consider for a second home.

Below is a list of some of the Oak Island neighborhoods we've featured on the site so far, each with links to find out more information including current homes for sale, maps, photos, and school information. Check 'em out!

• Kings Lynn

Are Mom and Dad visiting from out of town for the holidays this season? Wouldn't it be nice if they lived a little closer? Somewhere that's close to shopping, restaurants, the beach, and has all the refinements of luxury living they're used to? I've got just the place!

While they're in town, call me to set up an appointment to check out my listing at The Village at Mayfaire - a stunning 3 bedroom luxury condo for sale (former model unit, 1st floor) with 2 master suites and a wealth of upgrades you just won't find in other units in this community.

6809 Mayfaire Club Drive Unit 103 Wilmington, NC 28405:
http://www.desireewhalen.com/property/56340ecafac1b900017b84fd/

The Village at Mayfaire features an Olympic size swimming pool, tennis courts, fitness center, club house, and car wash facilities, and is very close to dining and entertainment options at Mayfaire Town Center.
