Tangle Oaks Condominiums is a 29-acre condominium complex with 51 units clustered in 9 buildings surrounding a marina on the intracoastal waterway. Six of the buildings overlook the marina. The remaining 3 take advantage of views to the north, east, and south across the waterway. All units are around 2,100 square feet. All were originally designed as 3-bedroom, 4-bath homes, but many have been modified to add a ground-floor space as a 4th bedroom. They are 3 stories and are not elevator-equipped. The first floor has a garage, foyer, and office or 4th bedroom and a full bath. The second floor has the living room, kitchen, and informal dining. The remaining 3 bedrooms are on the 3rd floor. The marina is completely dug into the mainland with 98 slips floating inside the bulkheaded area. Slips are doubles with piles. All recent sales have included a 30-foot slip. The marina is well equipped and well maintained. Community participation is very high.
Tangle Oaks Condominiums is located behind Masonboro Island, a 7.5-mile-long undeveloped barrier island accessible at several locations off the intracoastal waterway.
The marina is 4 miles north of the Carolina Beach Inlet, which is not maintained and can be tricky to navigate. Masonboro Inlet is 4.7 miles north and is one of the best inlets on the North Carolina coast. It has protective jetties out nearly 2000 feet from the mouth of the inlet.
